It's after Sarah Blakely. I pretend that I try to show up as her because I'm not as outgoing and as creative and fun and bubbly as Sarah. But when I create that character, my current self doesn't see it as a threat if I just say I'm just playing this role, you know. I'm coming on the podcast, playing a role that helps me show up as my best self. Like, I think a lot of us like forget that we have to, you know, we got to do it enough to become it.Lesley Logan 0:29 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:13 Be It babe, holy moly, this episode is one for the books. I mean, her first one was one for the books. She's fabulous and she's amazing. We cover a lot of topics. You can insert whatever it is that you want to be until you see in for what we're talking about in these ideas. Basically, I wanted to have Amy Ledin back, and she is back, and, like, top notch, better than ever. And the reason is, is because we are going to do a really fun series on habits, and Amy is the queen of how she gets people to create habits that are not torturous and also that allow them to really become the person they want to be. And I mean, every different example is a be it till you see it. So this week, it'll be Amy Ledin plus a recap, and then next week I'll kick off a series on how I help people with habits. There are two different ways, but you then can choose the adventure that works for you. And I'm really excited about it. I believe in what we just discussed in this episode so much, and I can't wait to hear what's coming. And then I want you to let us know, like, how are you doing? Are you able to make the habits to help you be it till you see it? So get ready, buckle up. We have a few weeks to talk about this topic. And first, it's the one and only Amy Ledin. Lesley Logan 2:24 Okay, Be It babe. Holy frickin moly. I can't even believe it. I am so freaking excited to see the woman who's on my screen right now. Like, I have saw it on my day. Like, this, is it two o'clock yet? Is it two o'clock yet? Amy Ledin is back. Episode Five. Can you (inaudible) I don't know what number this is but it's over 600.Amy Ledin 2:44 Wow, that's crazy.Lesley Logan 2:47 I know. I know. And you, oh, I have to tell you this, Amy, my mom heard your episode when it came out. She literally still only talks about that one out of all the podcasts. She's like, that woman with the cards, that woman, and then you had, like, the boss, the boss bitch, and like something else, and she's still Amy Ledin 3:06 Oh yeah, your inner bitch, inner boss. Lesley Logan 3:07 Oh yes, she quotes you to this day. It's been four years. Amy Ledin 3:13 I love it. I love it. Lesley Logan 3:15 So Amy, in case people are new to us, which there's probably a lot of people. Can you remind them who you are and what you rock at? Amy Ledin 3:22 Yes. Okay, so I'm Amy Ledin, as you know, and I am a fat loss and mindset coach, is what I would say. That's my forte. But I'm a podcaster. I'm a mom of five kids, you know, I'm a wife, a homeschool mom, you know, all the things you know, I'm someone that has overcome, you know, I've lost 90 pounds. I am a stage four non small cell lung cancer, you know, fighter. I am now, right now, I've been in remission. I wouldn't call real remission, but no evidence of active disease three times, and this fourth time that it's come back, it's spread to my brain. So I'm on all new medications. So I would say that's the biggest update since the last time I've been on here. But I am, you know, I am a perimenopause, menopause, you know, menopause coach, and that's because my audience is growing up with me. You know, I'm 47 so I'm in the thick of it as well. So I'd say that's who I am.Lesley Logan 4:18 Oh my gosh, Amy, I had no idea it had gone into the brain. That is because Brad and I were like, I wonder how she's doing. I wonder if she's back in remission. That has to be hard. Like, is it hard, I mean, or maybe you just don't want to feel sorry, like, maybe it gets annoying to feel sorry for yourself, like, I just want to, like, do you mind if we chat about it a little bit?Amy Ledin 4:34 It is annoying and no, and you know what? I love that you're just like, you ask it, because people don't. So it's been almost a year since I found out that it had spread, and it was a shock. Like, I was really shocked. In fact, I was coming back to my podcast. I'd already recorded several episodes, and then I got that news, and I just, it really did knock me. I really got this, like, just attitude of just, I was really angry. Like, I'm like, I don't get it. Like, what am I doing wrong, which is just the wrong attitude. But that took me a few months to kind of feel sorry for myself. And then it was like going back to all the things that you know I needed to do to, you know, all the things that I always did before. You know, my keeping my promises and having a routine and building these habits and really living in a future, you know, like living as if I am already there. And you know, that helped me kind of come back. But I will say, you know, it's really only been a couple months of me really feeling like myself again, because I've just been battling a lot of that, you know, loops of just, you know, panic and fear, and am I going to be lucky this time? And you know, all of that, so, you know, it's then I've really had to, honestly, just get into a high gear. And this is what I'm always good at, is when, you know, shit hits the fan. I am someone that does the opposite of what most do, and that is, they, they just crumble. Like I said, I had three, I say three months of, like, feeling sorry for myself. I was still operating at what would probably be someone else's like, 85% I think where mine came in was when I don't believe in myself, like, or if I'm having that fear, I can't do, say, podcasting, because it was one of the areas that I have to be super authentic. So it's the first thing that actually goes off the books, and it's actually the thing that I used to love the most, because it was, like my therapy, so I almost have to be in full alignment for me to come back. So like, right now I'm getting ready to relaunch, and I'm actually excited for the first time, because I'm like, Okay, I'm living it. I can share because, you know, you know this yourself, like it's an energy transfer that you're doing right now with other people, and so it is all about having the right energy to really get into that person. And so that's kind of, you know, where, it has been hard. But you know what, like, what makes me feel the best is showing up at a very super high level, levels that people would say, why are you even trying this? And that is just because I am proving that you can do so much.Lesley Logan 7:04 Yeah, I love what you said, like, you know, living as if I'm there, because that's the whole be it till you see it motto, right? Like, it's just, like, we're just getting there. And I just think, like, it's, I feel you in that, like, when something doesn't go my way, like, I am also very good at hitting, like, hitting the fifth gear. Like, when Covid happened, we were in the air coming back from Cambodia. I was like, okay, hold on, what don't they have? They need this. Oh, I can do that. Okay, there's that, right? And that's how we bought this house. Recently, we had a situation, and we got the worst news in the entire world, and the first thing for me to shut down is like, I have to, we talked about this before we hit record, I have to add value. I have to be on integrity. I have to have integrity with my word like that is such a value of mine. So we're going to even though we weren't allowed, what happened is, we're turning around the border with the right paperwork and the right permit, and they still wouldn't let us in. I was like, we're still going to do the event. We're still going to operate integrity. They're still getting everything that they wanted. They just don't get to hug me in 3d but I'm still going to do it. But the thing that had to go away is I couldn't show up on Instagram because I, like, all I wanted to do was, like, cry and go, like, this fucking sucks. But I'm not that person that I'm not the person who does that this fucking sucks. I'm the person who's like, Okay, this is what I went through, and this is what I did, and this is what I'm doing, right? So not that, like, my situation is all brain cancer. I want to make sure the listeners here, I heard that. I can hear that, but like, I can understand, like having to let go of something you love or that you enjoy doing, or that as an outlet for people to get to know you until you're in a place where you can go, okay, how am I going to operate in this way? Amy Ledin 8:36 Well, and no one wants, I mean, I'm not saying it needs to be like this toxic positivity, but day in and day out of someone just like being boohoo is also not a place that's really going to serve anyone, especially myself. I'm really not a big believer in sitting in it, so even when I'm in pain, my family knows I'm rarely going to tell you that I'm hurting or that I'm tired. Just know that's pretty much always for me. But why would I verbalize things like, I mean, your body goes to the direction that you speak to it, and so I just don't do that. So I'll take on the makeup, and I will do my hair and those things, because I see my reflection all day long. I really believe that's a big superpower that people don't realize. Like, you want to see a reflection of what you want to be feeling like, I don't feel that great. But when I see that other reflection of like, I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, versus man, if I didn't do anything, I think it just make me start to go more downhill. And I mean, everybody's different, but I'm a really big believer you got to show up as the person you want to be. Lesley Logan 9:37 Yeah, I love that, and it's true. Like, I not only do I it's not about toxic positivity. We had a really great episode about, like, happiness, and I was, I interviewed her, like, when there was the fires in California, and I said, you know, like, there's a bunch of people who like, why their houses are burning down. They're like, this is gonna mean something. And I'm like, that's not feeling your feelings. Like, yes, I do believe that everything does happen for a reason. I do believe that like, when doors close, it's because another door is going to open. Like, of course, but in the moment, you are allowed to feel the feeling. Amy Ledin 10:06 (inaudible) time. Lesley Logan 10:07 Yeah, like, feel your feelings. Amy Ledin 10:09 No one needs to tell me as I'm getting the news. Amy, this is because you know what, you can handle it. You know what I'm about ready to like, I'm, you know, that was the biggest thing that I really got tired of people like, oh my gosh, you're so strong. Like, I'm actually tired of being strong. You know what I mean?Lesley Logan 10:25 I do know what you mean. I'm going to say you're so resilient. I don't check on you. I'm like, I'm so tired of being resilient over it. But I do, I do think that, like, at what I also cannot handle is, like, why I can't be the person who's like, going to tell you what I'm going through in the process. I don't want the apologies. I don't want the I'm sorry for you. I don't want any of that stuff, because now I have to respond to that, because now I have to say, thank you.Amy Ledin 10:52 Well, I didn't even actually, and, you know, trust me, I'm going through therapy for this exact thing is, I actually didn't tell my family for a few months. I wanted to get like, several treatments, and my, not my, not my immediate family, like Mike's, like my parents and stuff, because I didn't want to go through that cycle right there. I wanted to already have an answer for, like, this is the diagnosis. This is what we're doing. I've already been doing it, and I've even had XYZ because I didn't, you know, you'll not see anything online about it, you know. You know, in our own private, you know, we have a paid group of women, 550 women, that, obviously I did, because I'd lost a lot between one of our training blocks, and I knew they'd see it in the filming. I film every round, you know, videos, and so I was open with them. But otherwise, I'm not that way, because I don't like the I don't like, to go through the phase of, like, let me give you, you know, I'm, I don't need that. Lesley Logan 11:45 Yeah. Well, also, like, it's, you know, you have to feel the feelings. You can grieve, the things that, like, were what you were expecting. And then it's true, we have to go. So what can I do? Like, what are the actions that I can take? Like, what is gonna what if I'm in pain all day, like, what can I do to make myself feel good and like, I agree, like, my days are better when I, like, Get up and get dressed for the day and put things on and like, go, okay, whoa. You know, we nailed that. Amy Ledin 12:11 Yeah. And I mean movement, like, I've had some really rough times over this last year where I've had to learn that if you get no mobility at all, it actually just increases that, the aches, the pains, you know, I had, I think it was like three days that I actually did not leave the house. And finally, like day three of my goal was just to get to the end of our driveway. And I just started to think, like, I mean, even if it's small, that is so much better than and getting sunlight, and, you know, all the things that just, really, honestly, I think, help our body. We're kind of like a plant that we need to, like, get out and, like, get in some soil, and, you know, so that's something that, you know, really, I think, is important, you know, as well. Lesley Logan 12:55 Yeah, I know, like, a body in motion, like, stays in motion, right? Like, it's easier for me. Yeah, I came home from my tour, and my girlfriend saw me like that next morning at the gym. She's like, wow, you're so good at being consistent. I'm like, first of all, I do have a trainer that will not renew with me if I don't check this off on the app. Second, I paid for it, so we're gonna do it. Third, if I use the excuse, oh, I just got home or I have a trip, I will never have, oh, consistent workout, and then I'm always having to start again, and then that is just like, never gonna feel good.Amy Ledin 13:30 And I say that to clients that I'm like, think about the person that's traveling all the time, like you're taking five days to land back into your life from a trip, and then like, five more days to get, like, recalibrated and like, that's just, you know, wasted time, right? So, yeah, and, I mean, you know this yourself, like, having habits, having routine, having structure, is just one more thing that I think helps, like, even your body feel at peace. At least for me, like, that's the last thing I need to be worrying about, is that. So it just feels good to get right back into like, I need to make sure I'm getting my walks in. I need to make sure I'm getting, like, my sleep routine, you know, like, that's a skill in itself, right?Lesley Logan 14:09 Yes. Well, that that is, I mean, like, everyone's like, how's it gonna be back? You must be tired. I'm like, oh no, well rested. Very behind on emails, because my sleep is going to come before my emails. But thank you so like, I'm well rested, all of my all of my Pilates, all of my weight training, all happened, not the emails, you know, you gotta have priorities. Amy Ledin 14:30 (inaudible) with the self-care. Lesley Logan 14:31 Yeah, so, okay, so you brought it up. So kicking off a habits block, because I hate the new year, new you stuff. It's not my favorite thing. I know you like, I've heard you talk about, like, upgrades. Like, I think that each year is a time for us to reflect. And like, we can think about the change what I'm bringing into the new year, but like, you're still you going into the new year with more experiences and and, and also smarter, because you've hopefully reflected on those and you've thought about these things, you experienced them. So I wanted to help people, like, understand how they can be it till they see it with their habits. And of course, you come to mind because people loved Episode Five. It's probably one of the most cited episodes we've had. It's come up many times. People still talk about it. But what are some of the tools that you use to to have habits? Because, my goodness, like, even with you've got five kids, you've got a business, you home school like you have to have habits or probably nothing gets done.Amy Ledin 15:24 Totally and we actually do it as a family. So I'm a big believer, you know, habits are not sexy because they need to be forever. So I'm a big believer in that you've got to make your habits fun, and you got to get creative around gamifying things that help you, like, level up. So you have your like, daily habits that you want to eventually just become forever things like, for me, it's like a daily walk, you know, three liters of water, like things that I just want to be background noise, but for a season, I mean, I may need to put them, like right front and center. And so we started creating something that we call 5 for 50 and it's five habits for 50 days. And the reason we do this is you pick five habits. But the key is, it's five that you need to do for the full 50 days, and four of them you have to intend to keep long term, like, don't start something for 49 days or 50 days that you don't really think maybe, you know, it might be a smaller version of that, but it's daily things. And so we do it as a family, you know, sometimes twice a year, typically like when mom's going through something hard, and I'm like, hey, you know what? Let's do 5 for 50 as a family. Because I always know, then we push ourselves like we just, I mean, I just feel better about myself. And so. (inaudible)Lesley Logan 16:35 And also it sounds like it gives you something else to focus on. You know. Amy Ledin 16:38 It is and and it's fun to see what the kids do like we so we did four that you wanted to do indefinitely, and the fifth one was some personal growth area where you want to dabble in it to see if it's like something you like. So, like one of my son, my 26 year old, he did that he had to draw for 30 minutes every day for, you know, 50 days. You know, my other daughter did guitar. And it also taught them that, like, wow, when you do, you know the compounding effect of this habit over time. And so I like, you know what I like about a timeline on something again, is that habits aren't sexy. They get boring for people. And so when you gamify, or when you do something where you're like, okay, I have a block, I have a start and a finish, what you're hoping at the finish is to drop those off of like you're right in front of you, writing down, and they just have become part of, like, your identity. They've just they you're now just pulled to do those things, because they've just become automatic. Now I test myself once I take them off, if I see that they're not I might reintroduce that like on say, like my DAC cards that I talked about on Episode Five, where I then write them in a structure of, like, these are the things that I'm keeping promises to during the day, but the Five For HIT 50 is really it's a habit one, there I tell my kids, I'm like, these are things that you know, maybe you're even doing them, but now you want to do them with like perfection, because you know how you do anything is how you do everything. Like, I tell people, I anchor my morning with my bed making. And it's funny, because when I make my bed, I literally take everything off. Like, Eric's like, is it seriously that, you know, necessary, to do? I'm like, yes, because it is a metaphor for how I want my day to go and how I want to treat myself, and that I don't cut corners. I don't I treat it like it's a hotel bed where I want the sheet sure. could I pull, like, we hardly move some nights where I literally could probably pull it back, but there's probably some little scenes down in the bottom. And I do find this. I find that it takes I've set a timer once, it only takes me, like three minutes and like 32 seconds, and I'm like the whole time I say mantras to myself, but I say this is a metaphor for how I want to show up. So I tell my kids, maybe they're habits you're already doing. Maybe you're brushing your teeth morning and night, but maybe it's going to be morning and night for the full two minutes, you know, with intention or whatever it may be, right? And what the kids see is these little things that become measurable really build your confidence. They start to think outside of what those are. And they're like, big fingers, you know, I find that my kids start coming up with ideas of, like, businesses, and that's just because they're believing in themselves. You know, like my daughter, she's like, I'm gonna sign up for soccer. And I'm like, Oh, really. Because she's like, going into high school and she's never played, and this was Leilani this last year, and I'm like, I'm so proud of her. Lesley Logan 19:21 She's going to high school? Amy Ledin 19:23 She's grade nine. Can you believe that?Lesley Logan 19:25 I can't Amy because I thought I haven't aged a bit. Amy Ledin 19:30 Yeah. So she, and she decided that, you know, out of the blue, that she wanted to start that, and I knew a lot of it had to do with doing these types of personal development things, where, when you can start measuring these habits like it's inevitable you're going to feel better about yourself. I mean anything from like Atomic Habits that I learned was when you start to even if it's two push ups a day, it's measuring that and seeing that compound effect over time. And it's not about the push ups. I tell people, it's what it represents that you do what you say you're going to do, and that you do it to the fullest. They're not like, half assed, like, that's why when I say what you write, you respect it, like, when you say you're gonna make your bed every morning. Don't just, like, throw it, because that's really how you're going to show up in all these other areas. Are you going to be the person that cuts the corner? Or are you the person that it's like, when I say I'm doing it till 5:30 it's till 5:30. Do you know what I mean, it's not 5:28.Lesley Logan 20:22 I actually really like the idea of like, one of them can be one, you just like, are testing out. Because I do think that when people are creating like habits that they want in their perfectionist tendencies, it's like, it's got to be all or nothing, and they're not giving themselves this permission. It's almost like, let me see like for right now. So I interviewed a girl who talked about tarot, and I said, I've always wanted to know about tarot because I was like, never allowed to play with tarot and and she's like, she's like, she's like, yeah, tarot actually was in the church. It was a way for you to self-reflect. And I was like, oh, well, tell me more. She's like, yeah, no, it was way to self-reflect, and you can actually use it as a tool to kind of figure out what's going on in your heart and your mind. I was like, oh, what a cool way for me to journal. And I have ever since hearing from like, interviewing her. I'm like, maybe I so I was like, I want to learn this, but then when you go to learn something new, it's like, it's hard, it's hard to take in the new stuff when you got the other stuff. And so I've, like, tried different books, and I was like, okay, here's what I do. I'm going to take this app. I'm going to do it for 30 days, but now I'm going to just put as my five for 50, and I'm going to see if, after 50 days, do I still want to learn this. Because it's also okay for me to say, you know, that was interesting and I didn't do what I wanted to do, and that's okay, you know, we can let things go, but we gave it our full effort.Amy Ledin 21:38 And telling your brain you can stop it at 50. Some of these long term habits that, like, let's say meditation, like, let's say you've wanted to dabble in it, but you're like, the idea of knowing it's something you really should implement forever kind of just seems like daunting. I'll be honest. Like, I'm like, oh crap, something I gotta do forever. Let's just wait to do that. But if you tell me, hey, just dabble in it for 50 days, see how you feel now be 100% for those 50 days, because that's the key. Like, it is crazy what happens when you go all in on anything, even if it's five minutes, if you're like, Hey, I'm going to just for five minutes a day, do this like our kids, because we let them choose the duration, and we did allow them within the first week of once we started it, you could change like, like, my one son, he was like, 30 minutes of drawing every day was just too much. I realized within the first few days that like sitting there with something that I'm not even, like, familiar with yet, because he's, like, he's 26 trying to get into it. So he and me, within the first week, we let them redefine the agreement you don't want to wait too long, because sometimes that's just your voice of compromise going, oh, so that's why it's like a seven day window. We say, okay, you've got seven days to come back to the drawing board. And I think he shortened his by 15 to 15 because he's like, realistically, I'm gonna hate it if I tell myself this, whereas, like my other kid was like, I'm gonna bump mine to 20 minutes, because 10 is not long enough or, you know, but it was really good for them to see what they were doing. But the compounding effect, like, I think we had one kid that decided to do, like the tennis bound like every day, just practice the hand eye coordination, which honestly made me realize, gosh, I need to do this, because my hand eye is not that great. He did this for 50 days. You become like a Michael Jordan, like, it is the compounding effect that people do not realize. Like, all you got to do is do something consecutively and like, over and over to get good, but knowing there's an end in sight, like, it helped me get back into journaling. Because I was like, okay, I just got to do it for 50 days. Let's see if this really is, like, worth doing the rehearsal scripts. And at the 50 days, I was like, holy crap. Like, it's actually making me feel better, you know, but I wouldn't have given it a shot, because I'm like, I don't want to add another thing into my life. Lesley Logan 23:42 I love that you said that Amy, because I think you and I, one of the things that, like, we became fast friends, is like, we are committers. We say we're if we say we're gonna do something, we're gonna do it. We show up for it. We have a lot of habits that we're really good at. Some, because we're humans, we like, go up. But I it's also like, for me, I'm like, hold on before I say I'm gonna do that. Like, where is that going to end in my day? Because I don't want to be like, I didn't do that today, because I hate that feeling like, that is my worst feeling. So I too, am like, okay, hold on. But it's like, oh, for 50 days. Well, then I can really see if I like it, and I can also see if I got good at it. I could also see, like, you know, it didn't really change anything. So I can let it go.Amy Ledin 24:21 Totally. And writing it in a scripting way, like I find, like, even with my DACs, one area that I've changed with myself is the way you say things to your brain really matters, and it really needs to be identity shifting, and that you're like, I want to, I'm going to, you know, practice the guitar for 30 minutes every day for 50 days, because I want to show myself that committing to something that typically I resist because it's hard and there's a learning curve, like, go on with the details to yourself so that sticks more, because every day, like growth is hard, like I, I hate to break it to people. It's the only place, I mean, like, hardness is where you actually grow. And, I mean, it freaking sucks, like, when this came back and people are like, Oh, you'll grow. I'm like, you know, I don't want to, but I actually can appreciate after the fact that I'm like, there's another layer to me that I'm obviously, like, uncovering through this. I don't want to be told that right in the moment. I don't think anyone should, and I think that, you know, just and I really hate when people apologize and go, oh, but you have cancer. It is all relative to you. It's like trauma to your body. It doesn't matter if it's like you tripped over a pebble or you got shot by a gun, it's how your body reacted to that and how it sees it. So I never want to discount that, because I feel like my clients have just as big, they feel like just as big of problems in those moments, especially to their bodies, as it does to me. So it's really like trying to be aware of that and seeing your habits, like, why are you making this a habit? You know, what's the reason behind this? Like, I used to be one of those that like make especially when I, you know, probably around when I first met you, it was like making the list and doing the charts. I mean, I have like, seven different journals I was using and trying to, you know, color code. And it just was too much pause and go. I mean, why am I doing this? What is the long term gain of this habit right here? And really try to tie it to the identity that you're chasing. Like, is it gonna help your health character and you becoming like your best self? Is it, you know, or is this just like an ego booster that you're gonna post on Instagram, that you're doing cold plunges? What's the real reason behind it? Because I find that we are so, you know, geared to be like, now we're doing colostrum, next we're doing greens. And my habits to do 30 days of greens. Lesley Logan 26:45 Oh my God, Amy, thank you so much. Everyone is like, on this colostrum kick. And I like, obviously, it's not human colostrum, but like, my sensitivity chart came back, and she's like, human colostrum. And I was like, that's so fascinating. Like, I'm not having that. But I'm also like, I'm also like, not gonna like, now I'm like, I'm like, all there's this. Everyone is like, and now we're on to this now. And it's so funny, because we have been on the on Instagram for work, and we see our friends, and it's like, I do have a cold plunge. I love my cold plunge. I am not going for 15 minutes. I get in there, and the first thing in the morning it wakes me up. That is why I do it. So for habits, why it's like I get it because I I have the hardest time remembering what day it is and why am I up in the morning. And I love the morning. So I get in and I read three books. They're each daily message books, because I wanted to read them. Yeah, I read, Gay Hendrick says, Your Big Leap Year. So I read one page of that. I read, I think it's Melody Beattie's, like Journey to the Heart, and I read someone else's and it's like I read, and they're often different messages, but I whatever one that sticks with me then I think about that as I go on my morning walk, and that's how I do it. And I found that was taking me a long time to get out on the morning walk, so I have a cold plunge for that, but I find, to your point of the why, why are you doing this? Because it's the end thing to do. It's what they're saying the next perimenopausal woman should be doing or shouldn't be doing, because I have people like, you shouldn't be cold plunging. I'm like, back off. It makes me feel good.Amy Ledin 28:12 It's a crazy world. I mean, I'm even in the industry, and I even say, wow, I feel for females these days. Because you know what? You get really bamboozled. I mean, people even, like they're doing a real they'll even show, over here, like a medical journal study, that they'll pop up and go and according to this, you should, well, now, if you're smart like me, and you want to be, you know, funny, you go check what that is. Well, it'll be like a research study on like, 85 year olds. And I'm like, man, context, please. But because they're like, a white coat doctor, and they're coming, you know, like, and they have 100,000 followers. And trust me, I am guilty of it too. When I was looking for back help, I'm not a chiropractor, so, like, I'm at the mercy of what I find. It's just like a person coming to the fat loss space, right? So I'm looking at, like, oh, they have a million followers. I mean, you see this in the Pilates space. Like, it's really, really scary. I think we're going to get back going full circle. It'll start to be referral. People are only going to trust who has because now everyone's been through something, and they've all had an experience. So now they're like, tell me who you (inaudible).Lesley Logan 29:18 I actually agree with you, because of all the AI stuff. Like, now I'm like, I actually go to Brad and go is this real? Do you think this is real before, like, I share it because, like, it's so easy, and now there's so much marketing that's using chat bots and AI that I think people are gonna stop using the socials to find even though that's where they it's been going that way to start finding things. I think people are gonna stop because it's gonna be referral. Because, like, you do. You know a real human who's acting like a real human, and it's but I agree. I mean, you're in the fat loss space. I'm in the Pilates space. I have so many people going, well, this is Pilates, and I'm like, no, honey, it's not, but no, I'm not going to go around telling people what is and isn't, because I'm not here to be in a fight with people. I'm here to help people. So I'm not going to help with an imitation.Amy Ledin 29:59 We're the same. I don't have enough time in my day to come hate on what you're doing. You if you think what you're doing is working for you, do it. I support you. And I think there's more than one way. Now, I think Pilates and I think even strength training, there are certain biomechanical like things to it. But I am not going to be a person that's a coach that sits and just like trashes everybody else you know, and does videos about them. I don't think that that helps, you know, personally, I think, and maybe it does, but the energy that I would be working in in that space would never make me be a creator in the way that I want to be, because I think I'd just be, you know. Lesley Logan 30:35 Oh, I just think in the industry you have, yeah, and I think so I feel like I love the honesty and like, it's so I mean, like most of the people listening are women, it is so easy to be bamboozled, but what I love about you and your ideas here, it's like, what do you want? Like, what do you want? And then why do you want it? Because I actually don't think that your why has to be something stellar, but you do have to know why. Because I think, like, do you want to run a marathon because you want a habit of running? Well, then we can, we should probably don't have to run a marathon. We can change the habit. Or are you wanting to run because you have a friend that you want to keep up? Or is it because you want to, like, what's the why? So that you can, one, test the habit, and your Five for 50, or two, maybe it's the wrong habit, like, maybe that's not the thing that you should be doing. Once you figure out the why, there might be an easier or more accessible one to you.Amy Ledin 31:29 And make the habit something that long term is going to give you the biggest bang for your buck. Maybe it's not following a macro plan right away. Maybe it's actually meal prepping, like I, you know, I tell people, do you have to earn the right to lose fat? So like my daughter Kamele, this last year wanted to go on like, her first diet, and she's 22 and so I said, well, before I'm even going to give you a meal plan that has macros on it, you need to prove to me that you're actually going to live the identity of the fit person. Fit people, they prep meals. Fit people have a fridge full of stuff. They don't come home and have like, I mean, that's just not how they live. They fuel themselves, right? So I said, what I want you to do is just set some meal times improve over the next few weeks that you're going to pack meals. I don't even care if it's I don't care what it is that you're packing. It's the habit of the identity of that person. And then I broke down the macros, and it's great, because she doesn't associate, like being a fit person, because she's lost 20 pounds, because she just dialed in and titrated those meals. But it was all about the identity of that fit person and how now she's like, I don't associate it. She goes, it's funny. In fact, everyone at my work, she works at Lulu, and they're like, wow, Kamele, you started eating more, and now you're like, 20 pounds lighter, because she was, like, packing her meals and being on a set, you know, routine with it, and fueling herself, right? And so, plus, it taught her too, this was it's not about your macro breakdown, honey, because she even lost weight, even just packing the meals and, like, living that way. I said, it's because you were intentional. You were prioritizing protein. You were eating on on a, on a, on a routine, like set times your leptin and ghrelin, like that, like, so find those five like in those habits. Maybe it's something that's going to get you the bigger you know, the lower hanging fruit. And honestly, to the brain, meal prep sounds a lot easier than follow my macros 100% for 50 days. That can seem really daunting to the person that's like, struggled, maybe they've had food issues or binge issues and all that. Lesley Logan 33:26 I think this is I will always highlight. I love when, like, all my friends who are coaches of this space, most people are just not eating enough, and they're not eating intentionally. And so, like, I just, like, want to highlight, yes, well, you can often eat more and lose weight, if that's the journey you want to go on, most people start eating enough or not eating the right things. But I love, you brought up, this a couple times, so let's just break it down. Identity, like the identity of the person. So it's like, it's beyond the why. It's like, who you want to be and what do they do, and then doing that now.Amy Ledin 33:59 Yes, it's totally around your Be It, it's like you need to write. I mean, it's like, we make our clients create a health character. What does she look like? What is she wearing? What does her daily routine look like? What's her fridge look like? What's her closet look like? What size is she wearing? Not that those matter, but they do to your brain to start to really see and paint the picture, because they've done too many studies in all these areas, whether it be, I mean, lottery winners, big, huge studies on why do almost 95% of them go bankrupt after we're talking like tens of millions of dollars if they win. Because, you know what, their identity is, still of a poor person. Right? So fat loss, 95% of people that lose it actually regain, it's already hard enough to lose it, so you work so hard to get there. So I don't, it's why that's such a big part of the component for our clients is the last thing I want to do is see you in two years from now, because you just got really good at disciplining yourself for a season. I want this to be who you are, and you got to commit to who that person is, and what does that look like for that person. You know what I mean?Lesley Logan 35:02 Yeah, yeah. So I think that's, it is totally Be It. It's just like, it's like, I want to start a business. Like, well, what does that person do with okay, the business is working. It's rolling. It's all the things you thought it would be like, how do they get up? What do they wear? What is their schedule like? What is that happening? And then, because you start to do the things or thinking like that. It makes it so much easier to step up the next thing, yeah, no, the macros thing like. Amy Ledin 35:25 It's not a threat. And look at it from a brain standpoint, your brain does not see it as a threat. It comes back to like, it's like the Sasha Fierce with Beyonce, like that was a create a character she created. My business character, I named her Amy Blakely. It's after Sarah Blakely. I pretend that I try to show up as her because I'm not as outgoing and as creative and fun and bubbly as Sarah. But when I create that character, my current self doesn't see it as a threat. If I just say I'm just playing this role, you know, I'm coming on the podcast, playing a role that helps me show up as my best self. Like I think a lot of us, like, forget that we have to, you know, we got to do it enough to become it, right?Lesley Logan 36:05 Yes, yes. Well, I think, like, so many people go, oh, this is like, I don't want to fake it till I make it. You're not because, like, I have found, you know, like, you have a bad, let's just say you have a bad night's sleep, but you have a presentation that day. You don't go and go, guys, I'm so tired, and give you a presentation. No, you step up to the person who could be the person who believes that does a presentation nine times out of 10. You actually feel better when the presentation is over, because you you are acting as if you're the person who was doing a great presentation and became that person. That is what's happening. Yes, yeah.Amy Ledin 36:38 And epigenetics shows us like, you know, if you follow Nicole LePera, I've got to give her credit, she's been doing these, what they call Future Self Journaling, where she believes that every day you should script out your day. We do a version of it in our community where I want them to even script out like their their day as a as their health character. And because of what we've seen in the brain is that the more that you wire that future of like it sure, it's not who you are yet, but it's who you want to be. Your brain actually doesn't see the difference, and they're now seeing that the brain wires that way. So if you're in your 40s, 50s or older, I always say if you have struggled with fat loss, and you are already at this age, you have a rewiring issue that you need to address. Because if 95, 91% of your thoughts every day are the same, statistics will show me, you will continue to come back to this old person that you say you are and talk about and believe in. So if you're trying to become like a business owner and become like owning a Pilates studio or whatever it may be, you have to start scripting. And the older you get, and I just say it's (inaudible). Lesley Logan 37:40 So like, do you just like script out like, 5 a.m. 6 a.m. or do you like go, I am so and so doing this, like, what does it look like?Amy Ledin 37:46 It's doing this, it's more of a behavior like you'll have an outline of, like, I, you know, as I wake up today, I effortlesly, you know, keep my small promises in the morning. And you might at first detail them out, because the whole point is to this doesn't change very often, your script stays the same because you're trying to work on an area of your life, like in therapy. It's like, if you're an overreactor, if you're struggling with worthiness, it's it's a daily thing, because you're trying to show that you can change who you are, and now epigenetics is proving it, which is positive. Because here's the thing, you may have been born into someone because now they're showing with epigenetics, like it's connected even in the womb. So that really was hard for me, because when I got pregnant with Leilani, I was in a really, you know, I it was broke up my family, you know, I'd had an affair. So my pregnancy came in a place where it was a very unwanted pregnancy, and I talked, probably very negatively to myself. Well, this next book that Nicola is coming out with talks all about how they're showing and so those children can actually already be born anxious and have like attachment styles based on just the way that you have talked. So at first I was like, man, what a depressing thing to hear. But her whole point is to teach us like we're all broken humans, like we've all come from some sort of crap. And so the power of this book was to teach us that our brain is actually the neuroplasticity and our ability to change. If you're an introvert, you can become an extrovert. If like you are, you know, you say you're one way, you really can actually change. And it's doesn't take long, you know, it's 50. It's kind of similar to habits. It's about that 60 day mark we're we've tested it out with clients. I've done beta testing, and now we make it a part of our program where for 60 days, I have to do this journaling, because I'm so tired of women grunting their way to reaching their goals. I want it to pull you. I want your identity to pull you to become that. And a lot of them are starting to go why is it suddenly feeling easier to meal prep stuff that I like my lazy self, you know, is always fighting. I'm like, because you're scripting about a new person, and your brain is just seeing that is the place I need to go. It's like, it doesn't even know the difference. It just thinks it needs to do it. So less resistance. So same thing with these habits. Try to find, you know, some connection to that identity, the way you write it because you want to have less resistance. You don't want to be like you know, otherwise you will try to use motivation to do it and it never is lasting. Lesley Logan 40:09 Motivation is this interesting thing that everyone thinks they need. Once I'm motivated, and it's like you just, and we'll talk about this in the habit series I've got coming out. Like motivation is one of the worst things you can it will help with something really hard. Like, if you have to do something that's really difficult, motivation is very helpful to, like, it's like the starter in the car. It only works to start the car, right? This is as far as my car metaphor is gonna go, because that's all I know about cars. And then it's like all the others. It's the gasoline. It's you putting the gas, putting your foot on the pedal, all that stuff. So but people think it's gonna, it's gonna show up every day. I cannot wait to be motivated to do anything. I would get nothing done. Nothing would none of the things I built would have have been built because of motivation. Amy Ledin 40:51 Yep, yep. And it's kind of aligned with willpower. I will say a book, I don't know if you've read it, but you would love it, and he'd be a great person to have on because I think he's a small author. It's called Willpower Doesn't Work, and it is a whole book on he's got studies in there, charts that show essentially that it is all about your environment. Like that is the key that most people it's it's everything, whether it be friendships, it be your actual physical environment, that that is way better than because willpower is finite, and like, you can't count on that. It's why, in the morning the cupcake is less tempting than, say, like, at night. So like, instead of, like, having the willpower of having that cupcake here all day, why is it at night? I want it. You need to see that your environment is more powerful. Hey, decision fatigue at the end of the night, I don't need to have things out that I'm already weak to or, anyways, you would just love it, because it's just made me stop shaming myself for stuff that I'm like, seriously, I need to change the environment. You know, I've even said to clients, the best time to really change a big habit, like a bad habit, like, I had a client, she's like, every night we sit on the couch, we eat a snack. I said, Hey, when's your next time you're out of town? Because having a break from your environment and then coming back into it is the best time to shift into a new habit. Now for the next several days, don't even sit on the couch like let your brain completely because it is all about connection and loops, you know, for most of us at this age.Lesley Logan 42:16 It's true. It's true. This year that I'm doing we talk about how to unravel a habit you don't like, and it's one of the things, and I'll dive deeper in the episode, but it's like, how what is the prompt that starts the sitting down on the couch? There is something that starts that, and if you don't know what that something is, you can get rid of your couch, and you're still gonna find something to sit on, because there's a prompt there. Amy Ledin 42:39 It's true. And yes, because it's it started earlier. I have a client right now that we've realized her overwhelm with work makes her go to any like, highly palette. It doesn't have to be chocolate chips. At first, she's like, it's the chocolate chips. I'm like, girl, no, tomorrow will be something different, but it's not about the pantry. I'm like, it starts earlier. And that you start to see failure in your day and overwhelm, and that loop is when I'm failing okay, this is kind of like my coping mechanism, you know, so much, and so it's interesting. I'm like, man, I feel like we're therapy one on one. But even in, you know, someone that wants to have a business, they're all parallel, all of it, because it's a personal development journey.Lesley Logan 43:18 Everything, whatever it is, like, that's why I like that identity and like you can see yourself in like different things. Anything that you want to do, and how it's like it, it we, it works the same. You, it's you have to prepare the environment. You have to know why you want to do it, and then you have to tell you have to believe that you can. And I think like because like you, you cannot shame yourself into something you want. It will not work. And you talk about, like, the clients, like, grit themselves to getting there, and then they're just be back in two years, because nothing changed, and they didn't become who they wanted to be on that journey. Oh my gosh. Okay. I mean, I, obviously, I could talk to you forever about this, because, like, this is just something I like to nerd about. But I just love that we think the same way on this, because it's really, it's really easy, I think, for people to, like, want to start 17 new things at the same time, or like, they, you know, and like, it's an I have to do it for an hour, and it's like, hold on, like, let's, you know, we got to adjust the timeline of what it is. And I really think, you know, making sure you know why you want to do it. The script thing is a really cool thing to add to it. I have to say, like, I kind of like the idea of like writing yourself a script for the day and how it's gonna go, that's a be it till you see it, and also, like a manifestation and a drawing in, I think that's really beautiful, Amy. Well, we're gonna take a quick break, and we're gonna find out where people can find you, follow you, work with you, and then we're gonna do your Be It Action Items. Amy Ledin 44:36 Okay. Lesley Logan 44:37 All right, Amy, where do you hang out? Where can they stalk you in the best way? Amy Ledin 44:42 I am, I'm on Instagram, you know, under amy_ledin if you are, like, still a Facebook person, though, I will say that is, like, where our business really lands. So it's under Lean Bodies Consulting. I post daily there, and then, you know, by the time this episode's out, my podcast, you know, which is called F* It! so you can find me there.Lesley Logan 45:00 I love your podcast. It's so great. I also want to say, like, I admire that you take pauses when you need to with it, because I think you are so good at podcasting. You're so wonderful at it. All of your episodes I've ever listened to are so good. And you're also allowed to be a human and take time for yourself. You have given us so much already, but you know how the show goes, we need Be It Action Items, bold, executable, intrinsic or target steps people can take to be it till they see it. I mean, the whole episode kind of was one, but anything you want to add or remind us.Amy Ledin 45:29 Well, you know what? I actually tied it to your acronym, to the DACs, and it's like, bold, one agreement that matters, like, pick one, like, maybe you need to start just with one. Executable is your E, you know, like, write it in real words, not vague. So be specific on what you're really shooting for. The intrinsic is link it to how you want to feel, not just like, how much you want to weigh, how much money. Like, how do you really want to feel there? What's the money? What's the scale going to give you? And then targeted, today, not someday. Like, be very specific.Lesley Logan 46:01 Oh, my God, that's brilliant. You're so good. I love it so much, you guys. I can't even wait to hear how this episode goes. It's just so fun to have you back and see what you're up to, and also just be reminded of, like, how powerful we all really are. Our minds are really powerful. And I love the science behind that. That book sounds amazing. I can't wait to read it. I'll have to have it on. You know what, before I go. And I'm gonna say this, because, in case anyone knows this person, I'm trying to get hold of them, there's a book called Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It. And I'm gonna, I'm gonna do a little series on, like a self like, a week long series on self-love. Because everybody who talks about, I burnt out, I'm this. And the book the author, he says, You'll never burn out if you actually love yourself. Because if you truly loved yourself, you wouldn't say yes, when you mean no, you would actually, like take time for yourself. And that's so like, I think those two books sound like a nice little bookend, but also, like everything we're talking about here today, it's, it's all part of it, you know, it's all like holistic it's, we're not little compartments.

What happens when you hit your lowest point and realise you're living a life that's not your own?In this episode, I'm joined by Jack Cotterill — a jazz drummer, creative entrepreneur and performance coach — who once lived the wild rock star life, caught in addiction and self-sabotage, before flipping his story entirely. Jack quit alcohol and cocaine, lost over 10 stone, rebuilt his confidence, and now coaches creatives and entrepreneurs worldwide on how to ditch bad habits, find discipline and turn their creative energy into real success. His journey is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to change your path and truly be yourself.We dig into why alcohol so often leads to cocaine, the psychology behind the infamous “F IT” button that flips once the first drink goes in, and whether counting sober days is actually helpful. Jack opens up about why drinking and drugging is ultimately selfish and how it impacts everyone around you, as well as why being “in debt to life” — recognising what life has given you — and practising self‑compassion are crucial in recovery.We also talk about why moderation is impossible for many of us, and why taking full responsibility for your addiction is the true path to freedom. Jack's story takes you from chaotic weekends to clarity, with practical insights on building a life you don't want to escape from.Jack has built multiple businesses from scratch, including Grow Sober — a coaching programme helping creatives and entrepreneurs take control of their lives. Today, he works with ambitious people all over the world, helping them ditch bad habits, build serious discipline and turn their creative energy into real success.Huge thanks to Jack for sharing so openly — this is one you won't want to miss!Thank you to Gavin Sisters for sponsoring this episode!

And you know, part of that with my affair and just the remnants of that, the consequences long term to some of the mistakes I've made. And that's hard. It's hard to hear certain things. It's hard to not want to just curl into a ball and not show up for myself during those times. But I'm hoping that I can be as raw and vulnerable and helpful to those of you that are either, one, for the first time listening in, or you've been with me through this road. Like, you guys are awesome, y'all. And I hope that I can just share as much of me with you over this next season just to really help you level up as I'm doing myself. Amy Ledin 0:43 What are you doing to create your dream life or your best self? Why do we see some thrive through challenges while others struggle? Welcome to F* It!, a podcast where I talk about the main Fs in my life that have helped me in creating my best self: faith, family, forgiveness, food, fitness, and formula. Hi, my name is Amy Ledin and most would say that I've had my fair share of struggles, whether it was placing my baby for adoption at 18, facing my marriage-ending affair, or battling stage four cancer for almost seven years, it's safe to say that I've been through a lot. Join me as I take you through my story, my journeys, and share with you the tactical strategies every single week that will help you thrive and overcome anything you face. That's right, I'm going to show you how to create a future self that you'll be proud of. So buckle up, get ready for the ride as I take you through my story and bring other guests on that have helped me along the way. Amy Ledin 1:36 We are back in Canada. Yes, you heard that right, we are back, meaning my family, myself, we are back in Canada. So what better time to kind of break the ice, no pun intended, although I am freezing, to launch a new season, call it a new chapter. And you know, those of you that do follow me on social, you know that we have moved back to Canada. So what better place then to come here to those of you that have followed me through this journey? And if you haven't, if this is day one, and you're like, I want to just get the scoop on what's going on. Awesome. But we, to give you a little bit of a recap, okay, I will consider the first chapter, that first season, you know, was when I launched this podcast, back during COVID, I didn't have a clue about podcasting. I was in the middle of battling cancer, but I just knew that I had a bigger purpose, a bigger mission. And I just wanted to share all of that with you when we were just so many of us feeling so out of control during that time. Amy Ledin 2:41 And then, of course, if you did follow along, we moved to Florida, lived there for about two and a half years, with it being me and my two daughters, Kamele and Leilani. And just doing that with them for six months and the impact it had on me, our family was torn apart during that time, it was, it was some hard times, but at the same time, there were so many blessings that came out of being in Florida. And, this was a time that when we came back, I wanted to kind of explain because when we went down to Florida, again, if you followed along, I was going down for lung surgery, by way of miracle ended up not needing to have lung surgery after already prepping and being there for it. And going through that then moving to the West Palm Beach area, we lived in Palm City at first and then moving to Loxahatchee, living out in the country and I'm sure if people look at your highlight reel, it looks like it's amazing. And while there were so many blessings, and I'm definitely missing Florida, by living there, you know our family was torn apart. My oldest son, Kainoa, was still up here in Canada. And you know what, maybe, people don't see on the outside, again, this is where these highlight reels can be so deceiving is everything looks great. But you know, meanwhile, it was really, really hard to not have our family altogether. And I had come up to Canada at one point and Kai expressed that to me. And then I started to reimagine, like his viewpoint of us leaving Canada and what that does to someone and you know, I felt like maybe he kind of felt like we were abandoning him, like just in our small seven-year-old self like you could maybe deal with some abandonment issues and knowing also the history there with Kai I have shared on here his first love first girlfriend from high school had committed suicide a few months after they were already broken up. But nonetheless, you know, he was so closed and devastated by that. So I knew he'd had a series of, you know, things that have come up that I wanted to, if possible, make that happen and all of us be together as a family again. Amy Ledin 5:05 And then coupled with immigration issues. I mean, let's just be real here, I never want to not address that. But with Erik being Canadian and me American, we were wanting to have him get his visa and do that, and the process is much longer and much more in-depth than we have expected. And in the process, and this gets cut, there's two ways to do it. But the way that we were doing it, you know, there's two like tracks you can follow, but you're really not legally allowed to work in the U.S. while waiting for your visa it just says, when I moved to Canada, I was not allowed to work in Canada as a Canadian employee because the system sees that as you taking away a job from a Canadian that could have that job. And it goes the same in the U.S. and you have to be really careful about that. We have an online company, and we knew that that was probably kind of a gray area. But Erik was going back and forth and up in Canada quite a bit. But one time, just all it takes is one border guard not being in a great mood that day. And he took Erik in for questioning and asked all sorts of stuff and told him that, hey, doesn't matter, you know you're not really supposed to be working in the U.S. and stamped his passport basically saying that he had 30 days at a time to be down there. Amy Ledin 6:21 So we knew until things like we could get that permanent visa or anything like that, we knew that that was not going to be an option to be there, coupled with just the primary reason of our family not being together. Erik's mom was up here in a nursing home and just being away and missing that was like, if we had the opportunity, we would. While we were up in Canada, actually at on a visit last summer, and I was getting ready to come back down and Erik was like, well, I mean, we found a place here, which we had looked at a few because keep in mind, we do have five kids and they all really do need their own bedrooms. They're at an age where I mean, I've got two older ones. And then you know, the three little ones that we knew what our needs were, and we wanted to come back to having those needs met. But also like, it was a pretty steep list there of like, well, I want this and I want a walk-out basement and I want this and that. And well, we ended up finding it, we took a walk through and we're like, oh my goodness, like this, this checks all the boxes in terms of like this can happen. And Erik's like, yeah, but we still have a house down there that we need to figure out. And, just put it this way, there was nothing other than God's timing to make this happen for us in that we pretty much got the timeline we wanted on the home, able to make everything you know, as smooth as it could possibly be with moving back to another country. And we just knew that then this was even if it's for a season, because like I said, Erik, Erik and I, we're mourning Florida, you know, sun and warmth and all that, one, it's just better on cancer, chemo, all of that. But it's also just, it's a happy place for me. Growing up in Hawaii, I just really relate a lot to the blue skies, and just warmth. You know, I just, I'm a pretty cold person. But we really missed it. And I had a lot of, as I said, a lot of positive things that I experienced in Florida, so, but we knew this was checking the boxes and we knew that it just was it was God sending us back. Amy Ledin 8:25 So that is us now back. And this is why I wanted to launch this third season because we're now in the middle of it. You know, I took off the first couple months getting up here to Canada to not do any podcasting. I know, it's been four months since I've put out an episode, but I will say it will be worth the wait. You know, because I've got some fantastic guests, I'm talking dream guests, I've got Nicole LePera, holistic psychologist, is coming on. We're gonna really do a deep dive into emotional immaturity, something I've talked about on here and something that I'm sure that 90% of you parents are guilty of. And it's, I used to say, oh my gosh, emotionally immature, I am not, but I've learned I am and I'm working through it and I've been doing the therapy and the works. So I'm excited to bring that to you. Amy Ledin 9:15 But you know, we are back in Canada, our family is all together under one roof. But we've also found a new church home here, which, these are just some of the things that I know over this next chapter, this next season, I plan to bring to you because it has been a rough few months where habits of mine that I'd had for you know, months, years, I struggled to do them I struggled to do my daily agreement cards. You know, I felt like we were just going through so much with the move and you know, with a lot. But through that, we're also in our second year of homeschool with the kids. So we started homeschooling last year keep in mind we still run a business, add to what we were moving, there now, but you realize oh my gosh, we're moving it was it was tough, but the kids crushed it and they are now in their second year and we're feeling like we're getting into a stride. Amy Ledin 10:08 My cancer, I'm now at 16 months in remission, my next scans, which I am already expecting, they will come back clear, this will mean it will be the longest time I've stayed in remission in the 10-plus years. So it's just a huge monument for me there. But you know, we've also had some hardships. As soon as we got back to Canada within a few weeks of being here, Erik's mom passed away, I actually will have a special episode just a tribute to her that I had already recorded and taken notes for because I really wanted to stay present in how I felt during that time. Because us getting back here, the timing, again, just even us finding the home here, and then having the timing of us at least being able to be back here for her passing was nothing more than nothing, it was nothing less than knowing for a fact that God's hand and God's timing, just had a part of it. And so I will have an episode all about that. Amy Ledin 11:10 But you know, now this new season, you're gonna see episodes focusing on a healthy family, focusing on mental health, addressing some of the old skeletons that have come up. We took a family vacation and things come up sometimes when we're having conversations and I realized that I have more work to do more hard conversations with my kids. I have never been shy to not share everything here. And, you know, part of that with my affair, and just the, the remnants of that, the consequences long term to some of the mistakes I've made. And that's hard, it's hard to hear certain things, it's hard to not want to just curl into a ball and not show up for myself during those times. But I'm hoping that I can be as raw and vulnerable and helpful to those of you that are either one, for the first time listening in, or you've been with me through this road. Like, you guys are awesome, y'all. And I hope that I can just share as much of me with you over this next season just to really help you level up as I'm doing myself. Amy Ledin 12:19 So with that, I'm excited. I'm going to be launching two episodes a week, I promise you this will, this break will be much worth it. We will be bringing a video. Yes, that's video, I have a whole podcast studio that is in the works right now. So we will have camera set up all the time because we are going to be launching this on YouTube as well. I just want to thank you all for just being here around for the past three years and still going strong. So I'm excited for this new season, new chapter and like I said two a week one will be interview style and one will be the solo ones just like this. All right. Have a good one. Can't wait to see you on the next one. Amy Ledin 13:02 Okay, I'm on a mission. As you know, if you've been following along, I have a goal to be at top 100 podcasts. And it's less about that top 100 and more about I want to make an impact. I want more people to hear F* It! and learn from all of the mistakes that I've made, along with me bringing on really special guests for you. So my ask here is this. I want you to screenshot this episode today and share it on your social media, share it with a friend, you know, tag me in it. Go give me a review. Of course, if you're really feeling it and rate me you know, this is the only way things are gonna get seen here and in a big world of tons and tons of podcasts. I'm hoping that you're going to choose mine and help me on my mission. #5for50 #5for50FamilyEdition #AmyLedin #AmyLedin.com #ErikLedin #LeanBodiesConsulting #LBC #Kamele #KamelePerez DISCLAIMER: The opinions, beliefs, and viewpoints expressed by the hosts and guests on this podcast do not necessarily represent or reflect the official policy, opinions, beliefs, and viewpoints of Disenyo.co LLC and its employees.

Do you know your worth? Ask yourself that question in all honesty. Do you know deep down what you are worth to the world, or are you letting outside sources determine that for you? Parents A Boss A Title Money Social Media All of these things can make us feel more or less worthy of being called “great”. But what we need to find is self validation through self respect and not letting others take us for granted. Heath talks about his recent bouts with not feeling appreciated in all of the work he does, and how he moved past it all by saying F@#$ IT to all of the ungrateful ones out there who just expect kindness and service as a norm out of those who are givers.

i asked a forest for permission to record it and got a response from a treeTRANSCRIPTION OF EPISODE (bell and breath) (Wind in forest soundscape) Today's episode is a fictional conversation between a tree and myself. It came to me while I was doing a consent and reciprocity exercise in a forest… like this one. (Recited slowly and thoughtfully) Me (M): Forest, are you ok if I record you today for my podcast? Female voice (F): It's nice of you to ask. (silence) F: What's a podcast? M: Ah, well, they're stories told through recorded sound that humans listen to. F Hum. We communicate through our mycorrhizal networks and symbiotic relationships with other living beings. For example, we regularly exchange nutrients through fungal mycelium. What kind of story do you want to tell your community? M: I'm preparing an episode about listening to life in a forest - in this forest - and I wanted to ask for your consent before recording these sounds and sharing them. F: ok. Everyone is welcome to visit our home, as long as they are respectful and do no harm. M: Thank you. I would also like to make a gesture of reciprocity to the forest, like an offering of food or maybe a song. (Silence) F: or maybe leaving us alone? But good food and song are always welcome. f: Where did you learn about consent and reciprocity? M I learned it from a course I took at UBC called facing human wrongs. One of the exercises during this course was to make contact with the land before entering and asking for safe passage… F: What do you mean by safe passage? Safe passage for whom? M: Right. Let me explain. We learned that there are some human communities who still understand that there is no dualistic distinction between objects and subjects, or humans and nature. The rivers, the mountains, the trees, the other animals and, you know, the forests themselves are experienced as conscious entities who were much older relatives and who, like human beings, required engagements based on trust, respect, consent, reciprocity and accountability. F: I can relate to that: trust, respect, consent, reciprocity and accountability. These are part of some of our system of values of forests but there is so many humans don't know about trees and forests, our culture and our relations. M: We also learned that asking permission and making an offering of reciprocity was a way of entering into a relational experience between living beings, as opposed to, say, consuming an object, owning a property or enjoying a benefit. F: and… how can I say this… how do you think that you can enter into a relational experience with a forest simply by asking permission? (silence) M: Well, to be honest, I don't know. F I agree, human, that you don't know, at least, you don't know yet, but maybe you will one day? F: Do keep listening and thanks for the visit. * CREDITS This is my second attempt at a two person play (the other is e111 traps).

Segment 3 – Stop Being Offended (0:00) (Audience laughing in the background) “What happens if you say that and someone gets offended? Well, they can be offended. What's wrong with being offended? When did ‘sticks and stones may break my bones' stop being relevant? Isn't that what you teach children for God's sake. That's what you teach toddlers :”He called me an idiot. Don't worry about it. He's a dick.” Then you have adults going ‘I was offended. I was offended, and I have rights.' Well, so what. Be offended. Nothing happens. You're an adult. Grow up. Deal with it. I was offended. I don't care! -Steve Hughes (Theme music plays, pencil scratching in the background) in a whispered tone P: Transcripts D:Are you offended? F:I'm so offended! D:(laughs) F:And you don't care D:I honestly, see, you, so I love comedy F:(laughs) D:and you, you know, comedy is one of the most amazing things if you think about it. With comics, comedians, and it's getting harder for the comedians, it is getting harder and harder because of the way our world is and the way people react. Um, but comedians, they can take a serious subject F:Like hot topic subjects D:Very Hot topics F:Ok D:They can talk about racism, they can talk about sexual… F:Politics D:Politics, it doesn't matter what the subject is and they can take it and they can discuss it in a way with humor because there is truth to everything, every, you know, we're, (laughs) in being intentional, which we're gonna talk about that , knowing what words mean, and understanding words…it's an education thing. It, it's all about …yeah, we just gotta be smarter people, we gotta keep learning. We stop learning. We do. So, yeah, this comedian, he talks about being offended. And it's funny and you hear people laughing. Those people were laughing, they were enjoying themselves. And they were laughing because he was talking about being offended. What happens when you are offended? When you get offended. You've been offended before, right? (2:21) F:(laughs) Yes D:I've been offended F:Yes, I'm, I'm sorry I was just sitting there going ‘When, there, yeah, I sometimes D:Yu took offense to something? F:I sometimes have gotten offended way too easily. D:People leave churches because of taking offense. F:Yes D:People cancel people, cancel culture, because they are offended F:I'm gonna say this, marriages end because of offense D:Marriage ends because of people getting offended. So, do we care? Some things we should care about. If a marriage is ending because people get offended then that's because there is a lack of understanding. That's a relationship issue, that's a communication issue. F:And honestly I think that anytime anyone gets offended it is because of a lack of understanding D:OK F:I feel that misunderstandings are what cause offense to come about D:Yes, It is F:And, and what he said though, what was his name, I'm sorry D:I can't remember his name, I'll find it and we'll post it F:We'll post it, anyway, but didn't he say something to the effect of … D:Ok, Ok, thank you, drive safe F:Just want you to know you are gonna be n the book now. Because they heard you…(laughs) D:(laughs) She's ok with it F:Transcripts D:It's all part of our… F:It's all part of life D:It's all part of the Youngblood Life Podcast, so it, it is what it is F:But it's going in the book now…anyway…what I was getting at… D:You are going to have to put F:Elizabeth…E:, yes, um But ultimately misunderstandings, I feel, cause offense, I think D:Well, so what causes the misunderstanding? F:Lack of, a misunderstanding is, in my opinion a misunderstanding is D:Lack of education… F:Not only lack of education but a closed off heart D:Well… F:And a closed off mind D:Ok, now what I mean a lack of education, too, but the reason I say that, lack of education lack of book learning.

Preface (0:00) (Audience laughing in the background) “What happens if you say that and someone gets offended? Well, they can be offended. What's wrong with being offended? When did ‘sticks and stones may break my bones' stop being relevant?” -Steve Hughes (Theme music plays, pencil scratching in the background) in a whispered tone P: Transcripts D: There we go F:Are you offended? D: (laughing) I don't get offended F: (laughing) Hey, so that's Devin over there D: And this is Justin F F: (Whispered) That's right D:We focus on the F. F stands for focus F:Sometimes. Sometimes other people use it for other words, and guess what…I, I actually got offended D:Well… F:Because I was younger and a little, a little less wiser than now D:That's a choice F:I've learned that now D:Yeah, well F:Actually I learned that awhile ago, but D:It happens F:because, quite frankly, I don't give an F D:Very true F:I keep it for myself D:You should F:That's right D:The F is yours, no one else's F:It's just an F D:Just an F…Anyway, welcome to Transcripts everybody! This is the Preface. It is. (1:20) F:It is the beginnings of where we came from, why we are here, and what you are about to get… D:So, what we are, we are, technically I'm, I'm gonna call this a book, it's a , I guess it is a podcast but I am gonna call it a book F:Sure, is this like an anthology kinda…no, I, I mean thats in, that's in music, sorry D:Could be, I guess, if you want to consider it that way, but I mean, ugh, this is the ramblings of a madman with his best friend (scoffs and laughs) Well the thing is, is so… F:(laughing) So who's the madman and who's the best friend? D:Yes, that is where I was going with that one…well, I mean, so, so what this is, this is simple, this is a…audio version of the book, I guess we will call it that way, where, but it is uncut, it is unedited, it is what it is… F:It's raw (2:04) D:…and we discuss the things that piss people off, and make people feel good, and discuss the things that give people the opportunity to better their lives and think, maybe, their truth is not actually truth F:Exactly, and, and it is not one of those things, we're not, we're not seeking to piss people off. We are seeking to provide more of the education that we have received D:Well, and, and that's what it comes down to, it's all about education and I think that is where we have gone wrong in our country and have gone in our world. Everybody wants to say things, and…make their…everyone wants to be validated, and they, when they wanna be, but they also want their validation to be the end of everything F: Well, and they are also seeking to have their validation be for their manner of thinking D: Well, if we disagree, we just disagree F: Correct D: And we can still be friends, we can still talk about things, but that's, that's where we've I think as a society we have forgotten, and I think that's what this whole Transcripts thing is where it is coming into play. F:And I agree, and the, the thing to think about is, kind of, so, yeah, in a, in a nutshell kind of thing, and we're not on video so you can't see us in a nutshell D:That's coming, That's coming F:Oh, That's coming D:But not the nutshell, the video part F:laughing…um, where did you come to get to this point D:I'm an old fart F:No,…(laughing) D:(Laughing) F:You can't say that because I am older than you D:Well, so…that means you are an ancient fart (3:41) F:Whew…that gives me more value…ancient versus --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theyoungbloods/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theyoungbloods/support

I have really bad days. Days to wear I want to say F*** IT! I Quit. I Feel Like such a Loser! The only thing that brings me back from this and powers me through my negative thoughts and emotions is the gym. I workout those feelings. Weights, cardio, sauna doesn't matter. I get something done until I don't feel like a loser anymore. It's the only thing I know that fixes my state of mind.
ProjectME with Tiffany Carter – Entrepreneurship & Millionaire Mindset
I almost didn't do it (true story). After ten years of me resisting starting ProjectME with Tiffany Carter the podcast and business coaching brand, I finally said, “F IT,' and hired a web designer, a brand photographer, and a podcast producer. MAJOR rip-off the Band-Aid moment. Within 6 months I had a podcast with a 5-figure incredible sponsor. Was speaking on stage to thousands of women, and even snagged a guest expert TV spot. Most importantly, I felt more fulfilled and free than ever in my entire life. Crazy that I spent TEN YEARS in pure fear resistance, worrying about what will my corporate clients think. People will think I'm being narcissistic. Maybe I'm too fat to do this, or not pretty enough. People who I know will think I'm cheesy and talk crap about me. All of that time and energy I wasted worrying about other people could have been spent taking action on my dream life and helping people who need my expertise. Since I can't go back and change things, this is now a HUGE part of my story and the message I share with millions of people every week >> Stop letting what other people may think about you, hold you back from living your Most Exceptional life. The only person who loses here is you. One thing we can NEVER get back in time. Honor yourself and your precious life by fully going after the lifestyle you want, instead of settling for what you've got. I promise you, it's worth the risk.

One of our biggest limiters in sport and life is the fear of what others think of us. We skip out on races, events, or group rides, runs, or swims, because we worry that we will be slow, or we won't fit in. We often let other people's perceptions of us get in the way of our own goals and what WE want to do. Yet, once we DO take the leap and move out of our comfort zone OR once we decide to NOT worry about what others think (because really, that is all in our head anyway), we end up in the place where we wanted to be all along. Which leads us to our podcast today, we are talking about the "F*#% It" attitude. What it is, how to find it, and why we should all strive to go through this year worrying less about what other people think of us and just being our authentic selves and not letting fear hold us back. This is the year of "F IT." Also, Angela shares her favorite hype song, and honestly, we did NOT expect it to be this one. This podcast episode is definitely explicit, but we were fired up! Have a listen!
This is the pep talk you need. Change is hard. Which means you're going to want to quit or give up. I call those moments F*** It Moments. Today's episode is a little different because you're going to hear me get in someone's face who is about to throw in the towel on a big goal and a promise that she has made. When you hear me coach her, it will be like I'm coaching you. And once you're done listening, I promise you won't be saying F*** it, you'll be saying F*** yes.

What's better than a good segue? A really bad one. In this episode the O'Bryan and Beardly talk about the big move that is happening for the podcast. Also they talk about how picking a record to listen to from front to back is much harder today and how much harder it is to separate the art from the artist in today's world. Note from the editor:So I know that the audio is a bit low, but I'm working on that and know now what needs to be done on the recording side. I tried to turn up the volume on this episode but, I was greated with ana really bad echo. This is just a hobbie (for now, we hope) and I could have cranked it up and said F IT but, I belive if you're going to do something, do it the best you can. So we are only going to give you what sounds the best...even if it's a lower volume. -BeardlySong: DemonsBand: Wounded SaintsVideo by: Louie PerezSupport the showAll that and more!!!https://www.buymeacoffee.com/STBacklineMERCH IS UP NOW!www.sharethebackline.comCheck out the OFFICIAL Share The Backline Amazon Wishlist here:bit.ly/STBWishListFollow us on:Instagrambit.ly/ShareTheBacklineIGbit.ly/Obryanbit.ly/Beardlybit.ly/HATElynFollow Share The Backline on Twitterbit.ly/STBTweetAnd dont forget to Like and Subscribe@sharethebacklineor else {{
ProjectME with Tiffany Carter – Entrepreneurship & Millionaire Mindset
I tried to hang on, and it was slowly killing me. In my opinion and experience in coaching tens of thousands of people, we all deep down know what we need to do, but our EGOs convince us that we are “confused, “torn,” “unsure” … It's less scary and even painful to remain stuck in uncertainty than it is to make those BIG MOVES. This is how it ended up taking me TEN YEARS to start my dream podcast and coaching business. Staying in the familiar “good enough” zone felt more comfortable than taking a risk, and making those moves…UNTIL IT DIDN'T ANYMORE. If you're familiar with my story, you know my life has been filled with trauma, pain, and betrayal that I have fought with every fiber of my being to stay alive, function in this world, and heal those deep wounds. Risking more discomfort, and doing more vulnerable scary things DID NOT sound attractive to me, it sounded like more hard work. What ends up happening when we stay in resistance, is we block joy, we block fulfillment, and end up feeling like the walking dead (numb). 5 years ago, I was sick of tired of living a “good enough” life…as I knew that wasn't living, it was merely surviving. I said “F IT” and jumped in that icy cold water…I knew if I didn't, another 10 years would go by in an instant. What MOVES are you resisting in your life? What will your life look and feel like IF you stay stuck in this place year after year? Go listen to a conversation between two women who have jumped in…we're here to help guide you. **NEW** YOUR SEASON OF ABUNDANCE: Guided Meditation Series Click here to get it for FREE!! projectmewithtiffany.com/seasonofabundance Connect with Po-Hong Yu: Spiritual Advisor, Somatic Energy Healer & Embodiment Teacher IG: https://www.instagram.com/pohong.yu/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/pohong.yu Podcast: Tao of Po https://www.taoofpo.com/podcast Website: https://www.taoofpo.com Welcome to ProjectME the Podcast with your host Tiffany Carter, who takes the mystery out of making BIG money.

This has to be said… Holding yourself back from writing that post, making that video, publishing that book, starting that business, doing your thang, because you're worried about what “THEY” will think, is ruining your life. Yes, people will say stuff, they will talk shiz behind your back, and maybe think you're crazy…it will sting, but that initial pain will quickly be replaced with a feeling of pride and self-respect for following through and doing it anyway. When we hold back, it ignites shame and self-doubt, which only keeps us stuck. Do you really want to give that much power to other people to control your dreams? We only have a few months left in the year…say F IT and take an action on something you've been sitting on and obsessing over. Just think of how good it will feel to be in action instead of stagnant. Imagine what you could do with all of the time and energy you've been spending desiring instead of doing. It's DO season baby. A BIG FAT ZFG to anyone who isn't totally supporting your best life.

Episode 27 - F*it - Overcoming Obstacles with Amy LedinLess than one percent. That was the five-year survival rate Amy Ledin was given after being diagnosed with stage-4 non-small cell lung cancer in 2013. At just 36-years-old, the news came as a shock. “I wasn't a smoker, I didn't have a history of drugs—I was so surprised,” she recalls about her diagnosis. The impending fear that tomorrow may never come didn't just weigh on her out of her own despair. Married, and a mom to six children, Amy knew if she were to succumb to the grim statistics, she'd leave behind the beautiful life she'd built. So she decided to lean into the fear with unshakable determination, and spun the diagnosis on its head to instead make it the reason she'd take every chance she could. "I went all in on the belief that I would be the less-than-one percent," Amy says.At the time of her diagnosis, Amy was submersed in the fitness industry as an online coach and was well-versed in nutrition and exercise. But she says that at the time, her own mindset surrounding health and fitness was seriously flawed, and she began questioning how she was treating her own body versus the more loving standards her clients were used to. “I had no confidence. I was restricting [foods], overdoing cardio, trying diet trends… I wanted it at all costs,” she says.As she realized that her days were no longer guaranteed, the disconnect she felt between how she was coaching and living was more obvious than ever, and for the sake of her health, it was time to make a change. Amy's determination to survive her lung cancer revved as she researched women who had beat it. Her brain was flooded with positivity. "What you focus on will grow," she says. She directed all her energy into taking a health-focused, holistic approach to exercise and nutrition to support her body, and she set her intentions on believing that she would beat cancer.This mindset shift was exactly what she needed to put her health first, and a few years later, she also developed an important take-action system that she still relies on to this day. Amy's daily agreement cards (DACs) prompt her to examine any areas of her life that she felt she could improve upon, such as spending more quality time with her children, and the following day she'll set her goal as following through on that promise. She credits this daily practice as a way to consciously commit to positivity.In March 2020, when the world put the brakes on due to the pandemic, Amy discovered she'd need to go through another round of chemo. But the news still didn't stop her from staying in the driver's seat of her own life, and she created her first podcast, F*It! While the decision was initially driven by fear, “I got scared. I didn't want to regret anything,” she says, the experience has opened her eyes to just how powerful communicating and sharing can be. “When we don't share our struggles, it can eat at us,” Amy says. “By sharing our ups, and especially our downs, we keep our minds healthy, we connect, and we grow."Connect With Amy -- F*It Podcast on Apple, Spotify, and more! https://open.spotify.com/show/78uB4aUq4MfImBjL2x6NLX?si=7f021b153bb24290 https://youtu.be/IGw2d2o0CVw -- Her Daily Agreement CardsInstagram: Amy_Ledinhttps://www.strongfitnessmag.com/motivation/how-amy-ledins-cancer-diagnosis-sparked-the-life-of-her-dreams/
ProjectME with Tiffany Carter – Entrepreneurship & Millionaire Mindset
This also doesn't work… I've seen countless friends, fellow entrepreneurs, health practitioners, and clients get caught in the ALL or NOTHING cycle. It looks like this… Procrastinating, avoiding stuff, resisting hiring help, and then everything starts slowly piling up…and your stress level increases as the pressure grows. You end up dreading your business, being snappy with the people closest to you, losing sleep, can't poop, and you finally get so miserable that you go say “F IT” and spring into action like a leopard on a raw T-bone steak. You frantically go do all the things, get a temporary high from this sudden productivity, and then crash. The cycle starts all over again. Our number one most productive state to be in is PEACE. Solutions come more easily and we think clearly from this space. Fear and anxiety block solutions, creativity, and mental clarity (unless we are being chased by a bear). Slow and steady always finishes the race. Going fast and frantic only leads to injury and burnout. Peace is always available to us if we choose it. Everything will work out for the greatest good of all. Simply focus on doing the next indicated action, one thing at a time…while allowing yourself to go at the pace of peace.

UnRuley Leadership: Breaking glass ceilings with confidence, grace and style
In this episode of UnRuley Leadership, I share a personal story with you, the story of the most agonising email I ever sent. I spent hours working over it, reading and rereading it, wondering if my wording was too harsh and what the recipient would think of me when they read it. It took me a long time to screw up my courage to hit that magic send button, but when I did, it was the best feeling ever. This experience led me to develop the ‘F-It' approach to emails, which is a valuable technique when you have a difficult email to send. Most of the time, the emails that we worry about sending aren't actually as explosive as we think they are. And even if the email does ruffle feathers, you can actually use the information to your advantage, because you'll get to know the other person and their pain points better and you can remember that for next time. Don't forget to subscribe to the UnRuley Leadership so that you can hear more techniques, tips and tricks that will help you move towards the career you deserve. Timestamps [0:54] It's story time!

Welcome back to the BITYSI podcast.I can't freakin' wait for you to dive into this interview. Amy Ledin is one of my dear friends, and you'll hear me totally mess up her name in the very beginning because we are not perfect. Have you ever. Okay. Have you ever had that time you've convinced yourself you're right about a word, and then someone else says no I think it's the other way. And then, you can't remember which way you think it is nor do you know which way it's right? That is exactly what happened. My husband and I used to go, No, I think you say it like this. No, I think you say it like this and that's why I just put her on the podcast and she said it like this, and when it came time for me interview her myself, she means so much to me I was like so excited to like honor her and like edify her, I totally got it the way that I had been fighting to say and it wasn't. So, just proof. And I love it because, here's the thing, y'all, it's not gonna be perfection to being it till you see it, the thing that you want to have, the life you want to have, the relationships you want to have, the health you want to have, the goals you want to have, the blanket you want to knit, it's going to have mistakes along the way. But that's where the journey is and that's where the story is and that's where you learn things about yourself and about things, you just like never even knew.So, I had to share that with you, cuz I like you to be super super honest with you and so I would love to know, hit me up on Instagram…If you have ever totally biffed a dear friend's name in an introduction because we'll you're not alone, and that's important, you know. I want you to check out the show notes and learn all about Amy Ledin. She is beyond a badass. She has her own podcast called F* It. You are going to want to listen to it after this. She is a health coach, and she is a survivor of so much. But as a cancer survivor and I know that for me, you know, I have not yet had to survive something like that and so sometimes it's really easy to think like, Oh wow I haven't had it so tough, so I really have no excuse. And the truth is that we all have our own obstacles, and we all have more to conquer as we're on this planet for however long, and it's the mindset you have going through the obstacles that feel small and like maybe you shouldn't be whining about. That is practice for if you ever have those times where you need a lot more support from yourself. And Amy shares how she survived cancer and how she used her mindset to do that and also she uses it every single day, in that she does and what she teaches her kids. So I can't wait for you to dive into this. Be inspired by her. Please check her out on Instagram and on her podcast.—Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and business fitness coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to out yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.—EPISODE Lesley Logan – 00:03Okay. Oh my goodness! Y'all, this woman that I have for you today. I have to say this, we've shared this right before on her podcast. But when she got up in the front of the room of this mastermind, my first mastermind I've ever been in, and she spoke, I was like, Oh, my God, this woman is amazing. She's so powerful. I have to know her. I have to get to know her. I have so many questions for her. And then when we were asked to get accountability partners and she looked right at me, I was like, Oh, my God, she wants to be my accountability partner! I'll let her finish her side of the story. But in the last couple of years, I've gotten to know her. We've been through so much together, we talk about everything.. We have bi-weekly accountability talks, and really just help each other out. And I just enjoy her as a friend, as an accountability partner, she's a mentor and a friend. We can just go off and talk business with each other, and she's taught me so much. So, Amy Ledin. How are you today? Amy Ledin – 01:00Oh my gosh! What an intro? Well, let's just say the other side of that story, because I was intimidated as hell seeing you because you were so, what I loved about you, Lesley, was you were to the point, you are very direct. And you know, you just know how to consolidate it. I remember when we got into small groups you were so great at the problem solving, and I'm like, I am intimidated by her because I want to be her. You know, when you kind of have triggers that you're like, this is because I'm seeing something that I really want to have. Because you were just so cut to the point. And so I love that we both when I saw you, like I want her as my accountability partner. Because I wanted someone that, you know, with coaching, it's like, you want to respect and that you're a little bit afraid of and not like it's negative afraid, it's like afraid of disappointing, afraid of, you know, so it was I knew it would be the perfect fit. Lesley Logan – 01:54Yeah, that is so that's so funny. Because I have to say, like, y'all, when I had to go up into this in this room and talk in front of 50 people, and I just was like, Oh my God, this might, I've never been a mastermind, like, you know, these people are throwing up numbers I've never, I've just only dreamed of, and you're supposed to go up there and brag. And that is like the epitome of like being it. Like, I was like, Okay, get up there, you better be bold, you better just like brag your ass off. And so putting yourself in those situations that scare and intimidate you in a good way I think it's so great. Thank you for being here. For people who don't know your amazingness, can you tell everyone a little bit about what you do? Amy Ledin – 02:35I am an online, you know, I would say fitness coach, but I always say you know, mindset because the front door is that I'm selling you on losing fat, but the back door – because I know that's the door that matters – is I'm changing who you are. So I, I rope you in with the fat loss, but I actually really get you to change your identity. Lesley Logan – 02:57Yeah, because that's an interesting thing. Because I'm in fitness as well, Pilates teacher, and the truth is, is that if we were to come at you and say, here's what we're gonna do, we're gonna actually help you. Like, we're gonna help you change your mindset so that you approach your health and wellness better and differently, very few people would sign up. You actually have to, like rope them in to use your words to like, with the thing that they think that they want, which is the fat loss, and maybe that is what they want. But so much of it is like, what's going on in their head and like how they're talking to themselves and how they treat themselves and, and you have so many amazing ways to help women specifically with their mindset. And, you know, I'm sure that comes from self practice, like, from your own life. Amy Ledin – 03:43Absolutely! I mean, I'm the queen of struggle, some brought on by myself. And I think, you know, I'm going to share… I had stage four non-small cell lung cancer for over seven years. But the first two years was accidental mindset, you know, finding hacks because I really just had no choice because if I stayed in my fear, I wasn't going to be able to accomplish much of anything. And, you know, I was a single mom at the time and building my brand and, you know. I finally got to the point where I'm like, okay, I may have cancer for a while and I need to actually start adapting some mindset tools versus just kind of compartmentalizing it, which compartmentalizing for seasons can be okay. But eventually, you know, you have to tackle it. And so then I just became obsessed with really chasing a future self that stayed out of the fear because I didn't want to just be a survivor. I really wanted to be like someone that is the thriver. I mean, I immediately Googled like, stage four Iron Man winners like I wanted to find like the extremes because I feel like you know, it is the power of belief, right, that once you see what's possible, then that is what your brain will start to chase and so, I thought that there were a lot of people that weren't just like cancer survivors they were dominating you know their businesses so that's where it started for me. Lesley Logan – 05:08Oh! This is so great. So I mean first of all can we.. we can share that you are cancer free and… Amy Ledin – 05:15Yes! Lesley Logan – 05:16Yes! And we can dive more into the more recent news on that soon but I really love what you said. You were searching for evidence of what you wanted to see, wanted to see proof of, which is people thriving people doing iron man's and having these crazy businesses and all these accomplishments post-cancer so that you could see that and be that for yourself while you're going through your cancer. That's amazing! Amy Ledin – 05:45It's such a game changer. I mean, I say to anyone that's having because it's like everything in our life is just stories that we're telling ourselves. It's how we're defining it, right? And one, we can realize that we don't even need to put definition onto the stories that are coming our way. But two, it's if you're having a limiting belief or something that's holding you back from your greatness because I do believe we are all destined for greatness and you have to at least start to believe that first and foremost. So when you're starting to have primal feelings of fear, anger, anything that's negative, you got to stop yourself and go. Okay, I gotta find proof on the other side. So if you're like a single mom struggling right now, it's like, find every freaking story of a single mom that's overcome. If you're going through a divorce right now, it's finding people that have thrived through that because it's one thing to tell it to yourself. But you got to see it because you will become that. You will start to chase that. Your body will, you know, gravitate towards that. I had a guy on, Chad. Chad Wright came on, he's a former navy seal and he'd said, he goes, you know it's so powerful when you see that your physiology will even change. He goes, I do ultra marathons and you know the crazy thing about ultra marathons is it's not until they get about two mile 95 that it's actually new territory for them, which is insane. That means that they're always practicing and training for something that they don't even get any new direction for like a while, right? And he was training with his mentor and they were racing and his mentor made the comment about that he was going to…his body was starting to like…he's like, Oh I don't know, you know, we've got former hours. I don't know.. And he goes, in that moment, I actually knew that Greg's body was going to start to break down and within an hour, his physiology just started to change. So, I'm always like I want to hack it for the positive. I don't look for the side effects. I asked my doctors not to tell me side effects of my medication. I don't like to hear that kind of stuff because I asked myself, does it serve me to know? No. I'd rather actually go look for all these amazing stories so that when I'm taking my medication I'm not even thinking about that. And it really does make your…I mean, I'm not a unicorn, I always say to people like I'm not special I've just learned to master the mindset in those ways that's helped me become the fighter. Lesley Logan – 08:06This, exactly. I used to be a marathon runner and I ended up being a half marathon runner because it's way easier to stay in shape for half marathons. If you are thinking about being a runner let me just say you can easily do a couple six mile runs and an eight mile run and like you're good in a week. So, but it's true, like, if I remember I did this one marathon a couple years in a row and I had the same thought at the same mile and at the same end I can look at my times and it's the same exact mile that I got the slowest mile of the entire race. It's only not because I wasn't trained for it, not because I wasn't ready for it, but because I was like this is the hardest mile. This is the mile with the hill on it. And if I didn't know that there was a hill there, I probably wouldn't have even thought that. And then the next day I was like, well this is where I had my slowest time and like again I didn't actually set myself up with the mindset that I could do the thing. And so when I started doing other races I would not, I would purposely not look at where the hills were, where the things were. I'm like, It's San Francisco. It's gonna be hard. I would just go without knowing what the race was because I could just go, I'm gonna…this is what I want to do it's how I'm gonna feel, this is what I want and I had the best races in my life when I stopped figuring out like where the hardest part was or looking for the negative thing. I really liked that you pointed that out because we are also you know thoughts become facts. The end. The problem is that what you believe is what you perceive, right? So if you are like, Oh this divorce is going to be hard or starting my own business is going to be hard or changing my wellness routine is going to be hard, then you're only going to see all the things that make it hard. I love it because you're like, look for the people that are doing the thing you want to do because then you'll see that it's A) possible and the you can actually look for the evidence of that. So that's, that's really, really awesome. Did you? I mean, like, when did you start doing this in life? Is this something that you've always done? Did someone teach you this? Amy Ledin – 10:09You know, well, my, I'd asked my mom that because I'm like I did a podcast once on, like looking for the silver lining. And I do think it's something that, you know, I definitely was raised to in every negative situation, stop and go, okay. But there is…you gotta find one good thing in the middle of the mud. Like, there has to be something good in the middle of the mud. Because again, then your brain does start to focus on those things. And I definitely think that I at least have a little bit of that armor to help me through my cancer. But you made a good point, it was literally just seeing it one day at a time. Because if you would have told me I had to fight this for seven years, would I have necessarily showed up working as hard as I did? Maybe not. That's a really good point. Because this is why you do have to just say it's one foot in front of the other, versus anticipating the hard points. And just going, I can make it through today. Because everyone can make it through a day. I mean, I'm preaching this to myself today on this day, especially that I can make it through today. I don't know what next week is going to necessarily look like. And I didn't know what it was going to look like. But I knew that I could get up and crush my business in isolation in that day. And just doing that day after day is what made the business continue to go because I didn't look ahead at like what was going to be here next year, it was more like, you know, yes, creating your future self. And I think that's super important in like designing a map for your future because you do chase that. But in isolation of waking up every day. It's truly just saying, I can do it today. And it gets the deprivation mindset away because you get a lot of that in fat loss where I'll hear clients like it's so hard and like, yep, now it's gonna be hard for you because that's what you're telling yourself. And the more you state those things to yourself, it just comes true for you. Lesley Logan – 11:58Yeah, I am, there was a time when I, I still have things that I can't eat with my stomach. But I had 10 years of stomach issues. And in trying to figure out what I could and couldn't eat, you go through elimination diets and things like that. And, and you know it, my body would look super one way in the morning, I thought I could be like a swimsuit model. I mean, the way I would wake up and then I would go to bed looking like I was nine months pregnant. And it was freaking crazy, messes with your mind. But you have to go through. And figuring out what you can and can't eat. It's just a process. So it's hard. But when I wouldn't know what I could eat, I hated going to restaurants because people will go, I would say, Oh, can you take this off, take this off. And the servers in LA are so used to every weird diet that comes through there, like whatever…If you want to pay two times as much for this burger that you're not going to get the patty on, that's fine. Like, they don't care. But people would always go, Oh my god, well, what can you eat? Like when I tell them what I can't eat? They're like, Oh, could you like, that's just like, what else is there? And I'm like, Well, if you go at it like that, it does sound like I can't eat a lot of things. But I just ordered a dinner at a restaurant. So I just couldn't. I told I told Brad…I said I just don't, I would rather not eat when we go out. Because it's almost easier for people to think that like I don't eat than for me to hear to have to like challenge that I have plenty of food that I can eat that I'm not limited that I that I'm not you know, being deprived that that mind..because I can't be around that kind of mindset, because it's already hard. And I don't wanna make it harder. And so I think that is…we do really set ourselves up for the success we can or can't have. And so I'm like that looking for that silver… that something nice in the mud. Amy Ledin – 13:43Yeah, Always. Always. I mean, it becomes almost a game in that, you know, like, Alright, we're, you know, you could be I remember John Maxwell saying like, his flight had gotten canceled. It was like a big event. And that's an easy time to be like, Oh my gosh, you know, like I need to be… and he goes well, it's an opportunity to talk to someone, you know, like, I now have a few extra minutes. And it may seem so small, but it is just like the power of gratitude that this just magnifies in your life. That I'm going to walk into the same exact grocery store that someone else walks into, I'm not going to see all the shit that they see. And altercations or the yucky produce or whatever. I'm seeing everything amazing. I'm seeing the person complimenting another and that's just me with a filter on our brain and you know, it's going to show that to you. Lesley Logan – 14:32Oh, yeah, yeah, I've definitely experienced that. When I moved to Las Vegas, most people were so excited and I didn't really know what to expect because I've never lived here. I've actually not moved in how many years…I lived in LA for like 13 years. I hadn't moved, you know, in so long. But I didn't remember what it's like to be new somewhere. And everyone's so excited. And then I got this message from someone saying everything I would hate about Las Vegas. Like everything that I would hate about, like all the bad things that are happening in Las Vegas. All this stuff and I literally just wrote thanks for thinking of me and like period like close it out. Because I don't want to know this because like I don't want to be looking for that stuff when I'm new somewhere. I want and it's very true, like if you can see the blessing in what's happening it does make it easier for us to have an opportunity to learn something about ourselves, learn something new and and really see how everything happens for you, right? Like it's like not that you would ever wish cancer on yourself ever again but the people you've met and the experience you've had and what it's done right you've changed to how it's happened. Amy Ledin – 15:40I say it's for me 100%. I tell that to people. I'm like, it's actually to my advantage. And they're like what? You're actually happy? Listen, my perspective is completely different than yours. And I say that meaning you haven't had to have the same thoughts that I've had. So, I see it as my advantage of having a little bit of that veil lifted of the what if you're not here. And it's made me take faster action because I do see that time is our biggest commodity. But like everyone else, we get guilty of forgetting this. You know, I've gone through the honeymoon phase after I was in remission that you're, like yes you know I'm gonna do it all I'm gonna ask all the people and be bold, and then you forget. But like you've mentioned about the person that gave you the list of all the negatives. I'm a big believer in these…I call them software updates. And we need to do them on our brains often. And I make lists of everything. Like when we moved down here to Florida not knowing anyone I knew that I was going, I know my brain well enough that I'm going to have days where I don't like it as much. So, I create these lists that helped me in those low times. I did it during cancer. I've done it for let's say that you're struggling with – fat loss. You need to make the list of all the things that you gain by getting to your goal. All the things that you gain so that when you are in you know hurting yourself, you're in front of yourself, and you're not working as your best self. You go to that list and you give yourself the software update. Like I recorded our new house and every little video of it so that on the days that I'm like, “man what are we doing down here? Like this is not our home. It's not our place, we're kind of in between homes.” I go watch all that. That's my software update to remind me of what's to come. So, for a person in the middle of the starting of their business, go look at that list. You know, make it a mind movie. I love the mind movies app that Joe Dispenza owns, and that it actually adds music to it because again your brain doesn't know the difference between the imagination and reality. And it's actually going to start to see like, “oh my gosh this is what's happening to me this is what's possible”. Lesley Logan – 17:47That I love! That is a really amazing thing. And, y'all, she does do software updates on her podcast. F* It! So, if you forgot what that podcast was in the beginning, gotta check it out because she's these little doses of reminders. And it's true especially on your hardest days. If you got to have those lists or you have to have that go to song or that go to podcast it's like oh that's the one that reminded me of why I'm doing what I'm doing what I'm doing all of this for. Yeah! I just love that so much. I mean I lived in a 500 square foot apartment for seven years with my husband for six years with two dogs in L.A. And I would just go, when I would be traveling I would look at my goals. I had my big vision out whenever I came home and I'm just really feeling small. And I'm like well this is why you're staying in a small place. Here's what we're doing here, you're reinvesting everything and like because otherwise, you just start to like, you start to focus on the wrong things. And that takes you out of everything. But I do want to go back to that one day at a time. You know, I had an interview with Rob Mac. And he says, “You don't have to see the whole staircase. You just have to see the first stair.” So, I knew what I wanted to be doing. But I couldn't see how to get there from where I was. But I could see the next step, and the next step was moving, and so then I moved. And I think that is really important. I think sometimes we get stuck in having to know all the things. And you said it like, if you knew that you were going to have cancer for seven years, you probably wouldn't have done all the things in the beginning. Because like well, you know what differences they make. I'm gonna have this for seven years. Amy Ledin – 19:23Exactly, exactly! I think it's an advantage not to. And then the key like you said is to take action. It's like, when you go to uh you know, a good coach or a good mastermind is usually going to say to you what can you do before you leave here this weekend. Because those are signs to yourself, that you're telling yourself you're doing things. You're telling yourself that you're believing in yourself. Because a lot of us it's just lip service, right? I mean I hear it a lot and that was like, “Oh yeah, I was just stressed. I'm going to, I'm going to get better at it”. And I go, “Okay! Well, what does that look like for you?”. Then let's map that out because you are going to have a stressor again and we need to already have some strategies, because then your brain will start to look for those strategies. But if you don't have anything there, it's, it's, it's gonna just continue to chase the old path. So having that next step, Hey, I don't know how I'm gonna make a million, but I do know how I'm going to get the next 10 you know, in my next launch or whatever. Lesley Logan – 20:20Yeah, you teach something amazing because you have your DC Bootcamp. And you talk about, like, if you don't make something happen in the day that you want to make it happen, then you then it's not a loss. It's a learn if you create a strategy. And I love that so much. Because it's true. Like, you're not going to, you're not going to do everything you say, you're gonna do all the time. That doesn't make you not good enough, or not able to do the thing. It's just life. Life will happen, things do happen, but making the excuse for life like, Oh, I was stressed out, or I have three crazy dogs. And today, they're just wanting a lot of attention. Okay, so then next time, what are some things I can do in place of that? Could I get up 15 minutes earlier? Could I add the extra glass of water as soon as I wake up next to the bed, so I don't have to pour it? So I don't have to remember to pour it. Like, if you're trying to drink more water. Maybe it's that you pre order your groceries. Or that you have a friend that you text when you're like, hey, next time I say this, just text me back this message. Like, they're just coming up with strategies. So that you, because you'll be tested, we get tested all the time, you know? And that's I feel like is the universe trying to go? Yeah, you really want this? Really, you want this? Amy Ledin – 21:38Totally! Lesley Logan – 21:39Okay! Let's see how you do it this time. Amy Ledin – 21:41It's so true. And not judging yourself for it. Like I you know, used to be I think a lot of high achievers that is to a fault. Because then what happens is when they fall or they fail, they stay down in that low place for so long. Whereas, you know, I always share my spicy chicken sandwich. I used to eat the spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's. Like, I love spicy chicken sandwiches, but they do not love me. And I would every time I'd wake up in the morning and regret spicy chicken sandwich, I would say oh my gosh, never again. But that's all I did. It was just words, right? When I started actually writing down and doing the pen to paper of like, what it makes me feel like or what I'm going to do instead like an alternate meal. Sure, I maybe slipped up another one or two times. But again, it's like if you see your brain is a program, and it finally sees other options up there in the air for you. You're going to not pull into the Wendy's anymore, because you're gonna go oh my gosh, this does not make me feel good. I wrote down how this made me feel. This is the lip service that, you know, I haven't had a spicy chicken sandwich in like three years now all because of just that little, you know, strategy. And it's just because most of us we're honestly just on autopilot. We're not realizing that we can take control of it. Lesley Logan – 22:57Well, because I forget how many thoughts we have in a day. But like 98% of them are the same exact thought, like we're not having new thoughts. And so when you do those strategies, you're actually giving your brain a new thought to think for the next time that happens because we do go on autopilot because kind of part of it is that we have to and part it's like it makes things simpler. We only have so many decisions in a day. So, it's okay if that's what you're doing, but you want to go in the right autopilot. You want to set yourself up with the best pilot possible. Amy Ledin – 23:24Yes. Lesley Logan – 23:25You know, I want to chat a little bit about this because I'm came back and I know, like I remember it because we've been friends. I was like, Okay, alright, everything. We're just going to talk things positive on Amy, we're not going to actually go down the rabbit hole of what could happen. I'm not going to look up what could happen because I only want to have it in my mind because I want to put it in her mind. Like because I know you and and, you know, I just remember thinking after I got off the phone with you, I was so heartbroken for you. I just didn't want to tell you. Because I didn't want you to even have that in your mind. This is key with friendships, y'all, you got to have people around you who really help your mind stay on. But I just want you to know, like, what were some things that you did? Because I can imagine like anyone who's like, maybe someone's going through a second divorce and like, I'm here again. You know, or maybe they have a thing that they're working on and you're listening like it didn't happen again. Or the same bad thing happened to you. You know, I definitely can resonate. I have a whole story on some things…you just feel like you're getting knocked down when you're down. What went through your mind on how you could get through this again? Amy Ledin – 24:35This last time and it was definitely the hardest because I had really celebrated the last one and really thought that that was it. You know, and not that I never, I mean I always thought it, but I did realize something. And this is really key. I unconsciously was still thinking it was going to come back and I didn't know this when we even had that conversation. I'll tell you why. This time when I got back into the gym. And when I started trying to force…because I didn't have an appetite like after I went into remission…and I would kind of just like not take it seriously you want to know why because I thought unconsciously it was gonna come back. Whereas this time I started making decisions that showed myself I don't think it's gonna come back. I started working hard in the gym again whereas you know for the last couple years I kind of just was skating by because I'm like well if it comes back what's the point of trying to get my squat up to heavier because it's uncomfortable, right? You have to lean into that. And the same thing with my eating issues was I was like, why should I force myself to eat if I'm going to go back on chemo? So that I point out just because it is so important that your decisions that you're making really aligned with what you want your future self like fully. And I didn't even realize that if you would have asked or told me that last year I would have said, whatever I don't think it's gonna come back. But I was still doing things decision-wise unconsciously. But this last time, you know, I just went all in on mindset, you know. I started future-self journaling every day, really writing what it would look like on the other side. And I asked myself at least 100 times a day – Is this thought serving you? Is this decision serving you? Is this…with everything. So when I would go to fear I would have to stop myself because I did learn that I went to fear. I mean I broke down with a couple friends where I was like, Am I going to be able to do this? Like I actually feared that it wasn't my mind that wasn't going to be able to do it. I didn't think my body was gonna pull through for me. Because I felt like my mind was strong but like I was losing weight faster than I ever had and I was noticing that I was much weaker than I ever had been and so that started to mess with me. And so I just, I mean I had to go all in on personal development. I mean every day I went for two anger walks, you know, where I'd go out in the morning and then I'd go out in the afternoon and I don't you know, I used to think like oh there should be a point that we are just strong enough to handle. I think that's the biggest mistake people make is that we get too confident and like what we think we know. I think the best of the best…they actually do it more than even you and I, meaning they know that they have to surround…your bubble becomes you know the sum of your five people. I wanted to make sure that they were people that were fully like pushing into me and reminding me that I'm going to do it because I'm human. Like you said, like we're going to have those doubts and so you want to make sure that when you're not alone someone else you know is helping you with it. And you know if it's something that, like cancer, is kind of brought on and you don't ask for it. But let's say that you're going through a divorce or you've lost some more money or you're not growing, it's like learn that shame does nothing for you. Because I didn't go to shame. Because I had a colorful past that I would be like, Is this why this is happening to me? You got to stop and go. Is this serving me to even go to that place? Because that's going to take you down an even slower rabbit hole where then you can be destructive because you can start to sabotage yourself. Lesley Logan – 28:00Well, and also you will find evidence as we already discussed to prove that you're correct. So you're just gonna find all the evidence to show that you did this and you did this and so this is why your cancer is back. And that doesn't serve you at all, it doesn't help you and then take the next step at all. Amy Ledin – 28:20Yeah. Well and I actually met…so there was a guy last year that sadly…he died of my…we had the exact type of…same type of cancer. And he had the same gene mutation and he lived about five years. But even in his…he had his wife post something for him right after he passed and it was so heartbreaking. But what made me the most heartbroken about it is he was still looking for the reason why he ever got cancer. And I thought it's such a shame. What does that serve you? Why do you need to go? Because that path actually just gets more fear and then you're angry. Because he was an extremely healthy person and so he was always chasing the why. And I stopped that at year two. I just said, I don't know why but I gotta face it and it's not gonna serve me to keep searching that when I need to despite this. Lesley Logan – 28:08Right. Because there's a difference between figuring out why something happened to you and. And how something is for you. And.. Amy Ledin – 28:13Yes! Lesley Logan – 28:14And because one is like going back into the past. And one is figuring out how this is better in your future. And I think that is hard because of course, people probably listen, as well of course, I'd want to know why it happened. I'd want to know how it happened. I'd want to know what I did. Wouldn't it be nice if I knew? Did I eat something, drink something, did I go near a building of some kind? It's, I guess that would be really nice to know.. Amy Ledin – 29:38Yes. Lesley Logan – 29:38If that was actually possible but what I think we all know about cancers is like a lot of it doesn't make sense. Like a lot it doesn't make sense. Amy Ledin – 29:47You. You nailed it. You can still ask the why but rephrase it. How is this for me, that's happening to me? Like what you know instead of like. Why me? Why me? It's that victim mindset that takes you into fear. Whereas you can still ask and you know, I wanted to find out because I knew that my cancer was a trauma type cancer, but it wasn't a poor me, why me? It was okay. I want to know why this is happening for me. So that now I can arm myself. So same thing…if you're going through, like you said, your second divorce or you've lost something in your business. Okay, what am I needing to learn from this? That's what my therapist used to always tell me. Amy, what are you learning in this moment from this? Lesley Logan – 30:33Yeah. I know, I know. Because also, I feel like when you're when you get smart enough, and you're like. Okay, I know what she's gonna say. I know what she's gonna say. And it's like, Yeah, but you need to hear it. Because otherwise you wouldn't actually be solving this problem like you. Amy Ledin – 30:45Show it that way. Lesley Logan – 30:47You know, so you got news. Amy Ledin – 30:52I did! Lesley Logan – 30:52Recently, you're cancer, free, free, free, free, free. Amy Ledin – 30:55Cancer free! It was crazy. I mean, honestly, it was, you know, I came down here to the states from Canada to get ready for lung surgery. January 20 was supposed to be surgery. January 4 I had scans and then January 8 they called me and said, You're not going to believe it. Like, we have no sign of, no evidence of active disease. You're not even going to need to have surgery. Like it was incredible. It was, and I made sure that, you know, right after that, I went right into truly believing that and showing myself that I believe it and getting right into like, it's never gonna come back. It's kind of like the person that loses the weight – get rid of the clothes, right? Because you're still telling yourself you might go back there if you keep them. So, I went all in on trying to get my appetite back right away, and really just believing that it's not going to be so it's been incredible. Lesley Logan – 31:47Oh, I mean, I know I was so happy. I'm and also what's been really awesome, y'all, to see – if you might not know Amy, but you know someone in your life was like her – you can see them taking the action and doing the things. It's inspiring, but also all possible. Like, what she's doing, because even though she says not a unicorn but also special human beings but also unique. But she's right. Like what she is doing with herself is something we all do. On our day, no matter what we're going up against, maybe we're not going up against cancer, but maybe you're you know what, and I think that's also important, like someone sitting here listening might be like, well, I don't have cancer, it's just that I like, I just hate my job. It's okay that your biggest problem is that you hate your job. Amy Ledin – 32:26Yes! Lesley Logan – 32:26Like, I used to think, Oh, my problem isn't big enough. Like, I didn't lose a family member or I don't have cancer, or this didn't happen to me, but it doesn't mean that the problem that you're in doesn't feel huge and big and all encompassing. And the reason I'm calling you out on that is because you need to – you the listener – is that it's so important that you don't discount the problem you're in because then you do not see yourself without that problem. You don't take the steps to get to see how it's happening for you. And I think it's really, really important that you…that we acknowledge the problems that we have, and we don't discount them because they're not big enough, you know. Amy Ledin – 33:05Because your body doesn't see it any differently. Look at PTSD. They've learned that with PTSD, you don't need to be a soldier over in Afghanistan to have PTSD. You could have just had a neglected parent, because it's about the way that your body responds physiologically, right? And so I always say that people are like, Oh, well, I don't have cancer, like you. I'm like, it does not matter. Your problem is your problem. It's perspective. Lesley Logan – 33:29Yeah, it totally is. It's we, it's all, it's all in you. And it's and we have to shift our mindset around that. And that's a really huge thing. So I really, I mean, we'll have to have you back for so many reasons. I just love talking to you. And, and I love having excuses for us to talk to each other. Amy Ledin – 33:48Totally! Lesley Logan – 33:49So but before I ask you one last question, I just want to make sure everyone knows where they can find you. Your Instagram handle is Amy Ledin. Is there an underscore in there? Amy Ledin – 33:58Yep. Amy underscore, Yes. Within, Yep. Lesley Logan – 34:00Yeah. Ledin and, and you know, it's so funny, y'all. I have to tell you this, Brad and I go back and forth on each other it's Leden or Ledin. We do it all the time. I'm like no, and we've changed positions. And Amy Ledin – 34:14Most people say Leden, if you phonetically, you're going to look for Amy underscore Leden. Lesley Logan – 34:22It's, it's so funny, because, because we both love you so much. It's like, I think that's Ledin and I'm like, no, it's Leden. And then I heard someone else introduce him, like, they introduce his Leden and he's like, Okay, and then he's like, it's Ledin. I'm like, No.. Amy Ledin – 34:33I love it. I love it. Lesley Logan – 34:33Too funny. Okay, so now no one can forget your name and they're gonna find you on Instagram. Follow her everything, DM her, let her know your takeaways. But before I let you go, I think it's so important to have all this information. It's great and it's inspiring. And some people who are high achievers, I know you're already thinking, Okay, I'm going to do this right now. I'm going to go with my strategy right now. But the reality is, it's like life is happening. And how do we prioritize ‘being it'? And I see ‘being it' as anything that's bold or executable or figuring out what your intrinsic motivations are, targeted actions, but like, how do you prioritize that when life is happening? It can feel like a whirlwind. Amy Ledin – 35:16For me, I have always really tried to get really tight with my inner voice, because I feel like if you can learn to squash…because I feel like we've got like an inner bitch and an inner boss, and the inner bitch, if your inner bitch is too loud, it's going to affect all your areas. So at night, it's almost like a brain dumping, where you don't have to do it on writing, but you lay in bed and do a little reflection and where your inner bitches the loudest, you need to squash her tomorrow. And those little…so maybe for one week, it's you need to be a better mom, and I need to be spending more time with the kids. But maybe the next week, it's not, you know, I mean, I time block, and I do all the things to manage my day. But I find that if I can learn to squash that, it just builds my confidence. Whereas if I let that nag for a few days it can get worse and worse. Lesley Logan – 36:05Oh, I love that because it's like an intrinsic thing. And like I targetable and executable thing like you're because you're right, the inner bitch. Like they, they change their mind about what they're pissed off at all the time. Amy Ledin – 36:17Totally Lesley Logan – 36:18And, and it's and that is something that is nagging at you, and you're probably wanting to deal with more. And so instead of ignoring her, you could just take the boss and go, Okay, how do we project manage this little thing? How do we like, put some time in for more family time? Or how do we put some more time in for sleep or whatever and like, so you're letting the inner bitch like have their moment and tell you but then you're bossing it up. Amy Ledin – 36:41Yep Lesley Logan – 36:42I mean, I may have made my own words up there for how you do that. But I love that so much, Amy, you are amazing. You're just a true gem. And I am. I mean, I'm so happy it was in that room, it was so random how I ended up in that room, it was really like, spur of the moment decision. And it's changed my life so much because I get to have you as one of my best friends in this world. And I learn so much from you. And if you're listening to this now, please screenshot this tag, tag me, tag, Amy, share your takeaways, please. Because it also gives us a reminder of like, what worked for you, what level it landed with you. And it's a reminder of like the things that we say that we can remind ourselves with too, because everything we just tell you. I think that's because we tell ourselves that all the time. Amy Ledin – 37:25And I think that's important for your listeners to hear is, I mean, and I don't just say this lightly, but I mean, I've had so much time with you over this last year, like you're the real deal. I'm so thankful that you were in my life. And I love the takeaways that you give because you're constantly troubleshooting on yourself. And that's what's so cool about it is like you and I will have these conversations and we share a lot and we've gotten really vulnerable with things but like you are such the, you are you show the power of the troubleshooting and you're like, it's like figureoutable. You know? Lesley Logan – 37:56Yes, Yes. Oh my gosh. Well, thank you, Amy, for being here.

In this Pilot Episode the host Jamie Akens drops in and shares the concept of this show and some backstory. Fudge it Just Jump is a combination of the "Fake it til you make it" and just saying, F-It, I'm going to go for it even if it doesn't make a lot of sense. The rational mind keeps us from doing great things, and what if we could muster up enough courage to go fit it - how would our lives look? Jamie recently made a leap of his own, leaving the comforts of his stable job, mortgage payments, and family and friends close by to pursue a live on a tropical island to study modern online business and dive deeper into the world of mushrooms. In this podcast series we will interview some interesting people who have made the leap into their wildest dreams, and explores the ups and the downs of their story. We also will chat with people who are considering taking a leap, and gather their questions to ask the experts.

I hadn't even finished listening to this guest on Andy Frisella's podcast and something overcame me and I sent him a video on IG and asked him what it would take to come on F* It. I was blessed to say that Chadd Wright said yes. Recording this before having my amazing cancer news (see episode #73), this was just what I needed in what seemed like the hardest time in my life. Chadd is a former Navy Seal, founder of Three of Seven, who has an incredible story to tell. While I have always known there is power in words, he confirms it in the episode more than ever. Not afraid to share is beliefs and convictions, this is someone that you come to respect and admire so much. I hope you get out of this just as much as I did.
