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 0:47  Hi, Be It babe. How are you? Are you doing great? Happy Friday. I'm so glad you're here. I really am. I'm really glad that you're here. I hope you know that, like, as I sit here, picking what's gonna be the inspirational message for you today, picking the wins I'm going to share with you, reading your wins, because I have, like, a collection of wins. Some of them, if you notice, like when I read them, they're like from months ago is because there's so many that I want to share, and I wish I could share them all every single week, but know that I really do, can't wait to get them out there. And I hope that when you re-hear your win that you shared from months ago, you remember like you did that. You fucking did that. So way to go. So we do an inspiration from the internet, because things can be inspiring out there, doesn't have to be all be crap. We do wins of yours. We do a win of mine, and then we do a mantra. Lesley Logan 1:28  And so this particular one is like, phrases to say when you're at the doctor. And I wanted to give this to you, because we want to talk about, like, how you need to be an advocate for yourself when you go to the doctor sometimes. So here they are. Specific phrases that will make doctors listen to you. One is, this is having a significant impact on my quality of life. The next one is, this is having a significant impact on my partner's life. Another is, it's keeping me from have, being able to do activities that I enjoy. I'm having to take off work because I'm experiencing symptoms. I've struggled to get appropriate care for this problem. Please, can you make a note why you're denying me this treatment? Could you please send a copy of my medical records to me after we're done? Other people have noticed the problems I'm having and have said to me that it may be an issue. My pain is significant enough that I cannot sleep or can't walk. If you are in a larger body then saying something like I have recently lost 10 to 15 pounds, and my symptoms have got worse. That can be a really quick cheat for doctors. They often say, like, you have to lose weight. And you can say, I've done that. And then another thing, if you have notes that you have psychiatric care to let them know that I've already talked about this with my psychiatric care doctors, and they agree that this issue has nothing to do with my psychiatric care, and my pain is very difficult to manage with other over the counter treatments here's what I'm experiencing to manage the situation. So like I, I wanted to share this with you, because I think sometimes we go to doctors and we tell them, like, oh, let's just see how it's going. Oh, you're in range, oh, this, oh that. And the problem is, is that you, by the time you got into the doctor is probably four to six months from when you wanted to and so it can be frustrating when they're like, let's just, let's just see how it's going. It's like it's been months, right? And I do hate when doctors are telling you to lose weight, because, as we know, most doctors had the least amount of training possible around nutrition, especially in the States. I don't, I can't speak for other places. So this particular account we'll link to in the show notes, these are people that are in the U.K. and these are phrases that they have noticed have worked for them, and then they have a whole bunch of comments in the section of other phrases have worked for other people. And I just wanted you to have it because, my goodness, your health should not be something that you, that is holding you back and keeping you from being it till you see it. And as you know, on the show, we've had multiple doctors on here before. We've had Lindsay Moore on here to talk about how to advocate for yourself. We've had Jessica Valant who talks about advocating for yourself. We've had the FemGevity people who work as telemedicine help for for women in multiple states in the U.S. So we, at this podcast, like, I really am trying, like, how do we get more doctors to you, to help you be till you see it? Because sometimes it's our health that's keeping us from these wins and from doing the thing we want to do, and holding us back. And then you get to the doctor, and they don't listen to you, that can be infuriating. So I hope those phrases help. I really, I had to advocate myself when I was having health issues, because I was like, let's just wait and see. Oh, it's not that bad. You probably just have IBS. And it's like, no, I don't have IBS. That's not a thing. I don't have that and so, but I would, but instead of, like, having a nice phrase to say, like, I have done all the things for IBS, and it has not, the symptoms have gotten worse, like that phrase would have gotten their attention, or, you know, things like that. So anyways, I hope, I hope that's helpful. I hope that helps you when on your next appointment, so you can be seen and taken care of, so you can go be the person you want to be. Lesley Logan 5:00  Okay, your wins. Okay. This is from Heather Ingram. She is an eLevate grad, Agency member, and just all around badass person. And she wrote FYF, one of my clients who comes one time a week, does homework three to four times a week. So she does her Pilates homework three to four times a week. She's loving my new Contrology apparatus since I switched from the Allegro Tower of Power the last three sessions, she is amazed at how much connection she feels, and that it feels so much harder, but in a good way. Today, she said running feels like a real running too. I was so nervous to make a big change from an Allegro to a Contrology for fear of resistance or client concern in my boutique home studio, another client commented how much safer she feels in rushing splits and tendon stretch, since she has to do all the work, but now rocks the Reformer teaser for the first time, I personally felt like Pilates so is now so much harder as fuck in my own body. But I'm loving all the curiosity and my own body and my clients. I'm glad I made the leap in my teaching journey. I just want to acknowledge, like, even if you guys don't even know what those words are Tower of Power or Contrology apparatus. Like, we've all had to, like, felt this urge to, like, make a change in our life, right? Like, maybe it's your schedule or it's your job, or it's where you're gonna live, or all these things, and we're like, oh my God, and you don't know how it's gonna be on the other side, you just feel like it could be better. And then, you know those concerns that, like, the negative person's gonna come in and, like, go, oh, I like the other thing better. And like, so you could, like, go, oh my God, did I make the right decision. You could doubt yourself. And so I love that Heather saw out these comments as wins, that she made the right decision. And I just wanna say, if you are someone who's making a switch or change in your life, seek out the compliments and try, because what will happen is your brain will actually be on the alert for the person who's going to say, this sucks. And you go, yeah, you're right. It does suck. And really and really know like that person just thinks everything sucks, right? So anyways, I just wanted to share that win, because I think we can all like we can all relate to that a bit, right? Lesley Logan 7:04  Okay, Joanne Sutton, she's from Agency. She's in Australia. She's amazing. She's got a great book out. We've had wins from her on her book. And she wrote, I was feeling down about my finances, so I have a few clients away for many weeks, and some large unexpected expenses. So I started worrying. I knew I needed to pull myself out of this dangerous worry state. So I wrote down all my financial wins for the year in a notebook. There were so many. The more I wrote down, the more grateful I felt, and I realized my situation was so much better than I thought it was. They included things like raising my rates, paying off my tax statement, plan early, getting a new client, selling Thera bands, etc. I'm no longer worrying and still feel I and still feeling grateful for everything I have and celebrating each new financial win as it comes along. I have a new client booked in for an initial assessment, as I mentioned above, she read my book a year ago, which she describes as a fascinating and signed up for my free book bonuses, which means she also gets my fortnightly newsletter. So after a year, she subscribed to my on demand videos and wants to have the initial assessment next month, which she has already paid for. She's in the U.K. and I'm in Sydney, Australia. My client journey really worked. I just like, I'm just obsessed with this, Joanne, because first of all, like, let's just go back to your first win, which is about, like, going, oh my god, I have all these bills. Oh my god, all this is happening. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Like, ah, you know, I live in the States, and like, every thing on every time I open my phone the news widget is like, I got something financial for me to worry about. And it's so easy, as someone who's like, tendency to upper limit is by worry, to go in that worry zone. And I love that you went into the gratitude zone, and I love that you started to write down things that were financial gratitudes, and that allowed you to see, like, actually, like, what's going on right now for you sucks, but you have done all this, so look at how much you have done so you can handle this. You can totally handle this. And a year ago, you did something so scary, you published a book, and someone saw it, and we never get to determine how long it takes someone to sign up for something, but the fact that you were so consistent with your newsletters, even with everything that's going on in your life, so that she could when she was ready to make the decision, make the decision, contact you. You have to be so proud of yourself. Your consistency is what got her there, right? It's so amazing. Like there's always gonna be reasons why we don't do the thing, why we don't send the newsletter, why we don't do the post, there's always a reason, but the fact that you had consistency there allowed this person to feel safe and sign up and like, that's just going to fill those financial problems that are momentarily, momentarily happening. Yeah. So anyways, thank you, both ladies, for sharing these things so we can see, like, ah, gratitudes. Like, never underestimate them. Lesley Logan 9:38  Okay, my win. Okay. In May, I know this is June, but in May, I didn't get to celebrate with you guys, yet, my husband goes on a camping trip with his friends, and they always want me to go, like they always, they always want me to go. And I was going to go, and then they changed the date, so it was going to be difficult for me to go. And then they went the original dates, and then they changed dates. It was like a hard no, can't do it. I was leading the eLevate Cadillac weekend, which means it's like the halfway point, I would have about eight different people at the house from the two different groups, and so it was just gonna be a lot and I mean, not a lot. It was amazing. I love doing it. It's a lot, but it's really fun for me. However, I, I was like, oh, I can't go on this trip now, because this is happening, and my win is, I actually was like, okay, but what do I get to do? Because I don't get to go on this trip, but I also get to have a weekend doing whatever I want when I'm not teaching this group of people. Amazing. My husband took Bayon so I actually also had a weekend dog-free. So I was just like, I was like, a single girl for like, four days. I'm gonna tell you right now, I did all the things that I never get to do, and I'm like, I have to think about the dogs. Do I have to go back to this? Oh, does Brad want to come like I did everything, like a single woman would do it, and I fucking loved it, not that I but I'm not saying like I would love being single. I would never love that. I love my partner so much, and I love my dog so much, but like, I just took advantage of four days, and also, like that allowed me to be so much even more focused on the women who came to the house for the eLevate weekend. And then also for those who are on the Zoom, I could be so much more focused for them. So, a huge win. And just like, yeah, I took myself on a girls night. Fuck yeah, I did.Lesley Logan 11:17  You know, I ate at the places I wanted to eat. I had girl dinner, which for me is eggs and tater tots, sweet potato tater tots, sweet potato tater tots, to be specific. So, like I did all that, guilt free. So fun. And so you know, if you needed to hear that a girl's night is a freaking win, like a solo girls night is a win, or a girls night with your girlfriends is a win. It is. These are hard things to do. Should I, I could have cleaned out my closet, and if I had I could call that a win, but I really wanted to take the weekend and do like, whatever I wanted to do, and so I did. That's my win. I love it. Lesley Logan 11:48  Okay, let's get you a mantra, and then get you on your day. My heart is open to helpfulness for myself and others. My heart is open to helpfulness for myself and others. My heart is open to helpfulness for myself and others. You guys, are you receiving? Are you allowing it to be easy for people to give you things? Are you receiving? I hope you are. If you're not, repeat that mantra three more times.

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.Hello, Be It babe. Happy June 13th. Oh my God, it's Friday the 13th. That's so exciting. I just discovered that in this moment. So you guys, I am just so excited to be doing this podcast. I've been doing the FYFs more than a year now. This podcast is growing in a beautiful way, and I've just had some amazing guests. I hope you are listening to those interviews, because they're the best. And if you like the recaps before you listen to the interviews, that's fine too. I like a little sneak peek too. I guess I should also say this is a win. But like I did, watch the White Lotus Season Three without googling what happens at the end, because I was behind. So I could have and I was like, Lesley, you will just watch it, because typically, like when I watch any shows, if I get a little anxious or nervous, I will just do that. But that's not my win. I'll have another win, but first I have to celebrate things that are inspiring me. So these Friday episodes, I share things that inspired me. I share your wins. I share a win of mine. I give you a mantra. And these could also be mantras, but we're gonna do them as wins. Like this is an inspiring thing, so I have a bunch of quotes for you from different amazing women, and then I hope that you save them for yourself. So, Madeleine Albright said once, there's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women. Yeah, there is a special place. Nora Ephron said, above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim. Maya Angelou, each time a woman stands up for herself without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women. Oh, that feels good. Joan Baez, you don't get to choose how you're going to die or win. You can only decide how you're going to live now. Michelle Obama, when they go low, we go high. Malala, we realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, well-behaved women seldom make history. That is true. There's a great book about, because she caused a riot, and I just it's all about like non-well-behaved women. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, women belong in all places where decisions are being made. Unknown, here's to strong women. May we know them? May we be them? May we raise them? Aretha Franklin, be your own artist, and always be confident what you're doing. If you're not going to be confident, you might as well not be doing it. I love this series of amazing, just inspiring quotes, and like the well-behaved women seldom make history, really, truly does inspire the heck out of me. I like see it in a neon sign, and I want it in my office. And that's just because, don't you think sometimes we need reminders? I mean, I think that's probably why I like do this podcast is like, so that you can have a reminder in your ears on your commute, something that, oh, I didn't realize that's a win. That's a win. I have wins in my life. Or oh, wow, I didn't realize that that thing that they said is a Be It Action Item is actually I do that already. I think sometimes we need that outside person to say, you are doing amazing, right? I hope that this podcast can be that for you. And so I hope that those different phrases, like save one and put it on a wall and put it somewhere, stitch it, I don't know, knit it on a pillow. Obviously on how to do things, but like, just whatever one like, really helps you show up for you. Because when you show up for you, as we know from past guests, you influence the bubble that's around you. You do. All right, let's talk about how you can influence each other. We got some wins to share with you. Okay, I got a few from Katie Donnelly, so she's gonna be our win for the day. Katie Donnelly, she's an Agency member. She's gonna be eLevate next year. She's someone I've known since her baby was born. So now I every time her baby is a different age, I'm like, oh my God, that's how long I've known you. And she put, bought my Google workspace for my new website and email address, katie@thepilatesdoula.com baby steps. I'm sharing that with you guys, because if you need a doula, here you go. Katie Donnelly. All right, also, Katie Donnelly posted about a new prenatal reformer class in a local moms group and all of these other wonderful perinatal professionals hyped me up. You guys. I don't have the image, but she did post it, and it was just like several different women talking about how amazing Katie is. And these are like, perinatal professionals. So these are other professionals who are recognizing the, this and Katie and that had to just feel like the win in its own. But also then other women were like, oh my god, I won't be pregnant by that time. Like it just was, like, just so fun. So I really, really appreciate it. And this is like a shout out to the podcast, LL's wins on the pod this week, of loving her new nighttime routine reminded me of a win I should be celebrating. This is a nighttime routine journal my friend published. I've been doing it consistently, not perfectly, for almost nine months. It's so helpful for winding down and practicing gratitude every day. Morning routines are still a challenge for me, but at least I've got one bookend in place, and she has like, a nighttime routine journal. And there's a lot of different journals that are out there, you guys, and I'll see if we can find the one that her friend does and put it in the show notes. But if you are not a morning person, don't let that stop you from starting a nighttime routine. And I love that my win of committing to a nighttime routine reminded her that she has a win she can celebrate. That's why we do this. That's why this entire episode exists every week. Is to remind you that you probably have wins happening in your day, that you're just not celebrating, and we have to celebrate them so that we have something to combat the crap that is coming at us every day, because everything happens like you have a good thing and you have a bad thing, and sometimes we only do the bad things. But just remember there are good things happening, and they might not seem huge, but having a bookend in place to have a nighttime routine meaning you have the best night's sleep, this means that your morning is gonna be better, even if there isn't a routine to your morning like it's just gonna be better because you're great night sleep. So Katie, thank you for sharing that so you can inspire the newest listener who didn't hear my win about nighttime routines being a win. So I just love that. We can just keep that going like a domino effect going. I love it. I'm obsessed. Okay, so now, you guys, a win of mine. So here's the deal, we have the world's sweetest dog. The world's sweetest dog I am obsessed with, Bayon. He is nine years old, and he we got him as a puppy, and he's just so sweet, right? But you know our dog, August, who never followed any rules, caused Bayon to stop following rules, and when you have a pocket pity, he can never be bad, because people make judgments. It's kind of like the expectation you have as a woman, you mess up, you mess up for all women, somehow, that's like, the pressure. No, just me. That's like, a pity, right? Because if you ever want to, like, watch a documentary about how amazing pities are and how they are not as bad as the media likes to proclaim, watch a documentary called Beyond the Myth. It's really, really informative. Because a lot of people think they have long jaws. They don't. I think they have the toughest jaws. They don't. So anyways, Bayon has, like, never caused an issue, never caused a problem, but he stopped listening to us on walks, and so I would have to really make him not pull on my leash. Or when a dog was barking up, he would want to bark at the back of the dog, and it's like, no, that's unbecoming. Yes, that other dog was the asshole first, but you're the one who's gonna be judged. So, you know, bring it together. So anyways, we have been really working with him on this, and found a little tool, we can click, get him treats. And you guys, it's so amazing. He's so cute. He just wants to be right by our side, because it's way more fun to be by our side than it is to pull in front. And so I just want to say you can teach an old dog new tricks, and actually, we're just reminding him tricks he knows. But because of our other dog, we weren't taking him to parties and things like that. So he used to go to public places all the time. And then in the last five years, I guess I blame COVID. We stopped taking him to places. And another win is because of all his training, he went to a birthday party, a huge birthday party who knew no one at. It was loud. There was children. There was kids coming out of there, like touching his head. And Brad had to teach them all how to like this is how you meet a dog you don't know. You got to put your hand like this, calm down, so that you can always pull your fingers back if they react differently. No, don't put your hand on top of their head. No, don't grab their head. And he was just so good. He licked every stranger. He was just so great. My win is we got our dog to be the trained dog that he was already, and we got to celebrate that with him. And it's really fun, because now we can take him everywhere. We literally take him, everywhere. He goes into Costco, where those people, he went to dispensaries the other day, like he's just having the best time. And it's kind of fun to still have a dog you can literally take everywhere. You know how people take little dogs, but like, he's not a little dog, he's a 50 pound dog. And as we come up closer to our summer tour, I'm just even more excited, because he's always been so behaved in people's studios, but I know now that he listens to his naming called again. It's just gonna be a lot more fun as we go on tour and just have a lot more ease. So that's my win. We trained our dog again. Do you see how wins can be simple? They don't have to be this, like goal they've been working on for seven years. I gotta wait seven years to have a goal. No, no, that's not true. All right, let me get your mantra and get you on your weekend. I release the fears that do not serve me, hmm? I release the fears that do not serve me. I release the fears that do not serve me. Babe, do you do that? I hope you do. I really, really hope you do. It's just going to help you out so much better. It's going to make your life so much easier. Release the fears that don't serve you. Be afraid of falling off a cliff when you're at the edge of a cliff, but don't be afraid of falling off a cliff that doesn't exist in your life right now, right? Because it's just wasting your brain space, your beautiful brain space. It could be doing another amazing things. Thank you all so much for listening.

Send us a textTV characters die for a lot of reasons. Sometimes their stories just run their course, and the larger narrative demands it. Maybe someone didn't renew their contract, or there was an on-set conflict that meant they got written out. Occasionally, the actor themselves passes, and it becomes inevitable. Whatever the reason, we've all had the experience of turning on one of our favorite shows, only to watch a key character suddenly take a dirt nap out of nowhere. In this episode of FYF, Saint and Jim look at some of the most memorable TV character departures that have ever hit the small screen. Of course, there's also news, tangents and shenanigans, because it wouldn't be Fandom without them.  

Lesley shares an eye-opening stat about feedback bias toward high-performing women and celebrates a win from Dana Karen's impactful challenge for people with chronic pain. Lesley also shares a personal win about filming for Pilates Anytime and how being challenged creatively led to growth.

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 0:48  Hey, Be It babe. Welcome to your FYF episode, your Fuck Yeah Friday episode, where we share wins. We share wins of yours, wins of mine, a mantra, we get inspired, we're to take it ourselves into the weekend, when that's the best time to be inspired, so that you can enter your work week and plan it all out and make your magic happen. So this inspired me. This is very interesting. I don't think it inspired me, but like, intrigued me. Around 76% of high-performing women receive negative feedback, compared to only 2% of high-achieving men. So what this said is around 76% of high-performing women reportedly received negative feedback from their managers, compared to just 2% of high-performing men. That come from data collected from 23,000 employees across 250 organizations, by the way. So why is this happening? So they think unconscious bias leads managers, male or female, to typically evaluate women during performance reviews on their personality rather than the work they contribute. Are they easy to work with? Do they get along with everyone? Are they likable and collaborative? These areas of feedback don't necessarily touch on a woman's performance, which hurts both the employee and the employer. The employee, remember, is the high-performer. She's going to be looking for concrete ways to grow and progress in her career. If she see it receiving feedback on how nice she is, well, she might start looking for work elsewhere. Managers keep it constructed and hold on to top talent. I thought that that was like interesting. I made me wonder, how do I provide feedback to different genders in any of the things that I'm doing? Am I providing feedback specifically on the tasks that they're doing so that they can become better, or am I talking about things that have nothing to do with the project? So I thought that that was just really fascinating to something we could all explore, like, those of you who have people on your team, how are you providing feedback? Are you keeping it even? Are you giving the same kind of feedback to people of another gender in your corporation? Like, how are you doing that? So, anyways, I hope that that kind of gets you thinking. Lesley Logan 2:35  So let's go to one of your wins. This is from DK. My heart is so incredibly full right now. I'm on day two of a seven-day challenge, and I am running for getting active with chronic pain called Meant to Move, after my book. Remember her book? It's Dana Karen's book. I have been busting my ass for the past four weeks or so leading up to this challenge with IG lives and new freebies and tons of promos, and I was so exhausted by the time it even started. I was disappointed at first to just get four sign-ins, because I'm making like, $2 an hour, but I have to say that things are going so well so far, I just got off two back-to-back coaching calls with people telling me how grateful they are for the safe space about the challenge created, and how happy to they feel to have a guidance and support to get going. The second client said to me, the movement part is just a bonus. What I needed was a safe container to put my grief and feelings about movement and where it was okay to be starting from scratch and you gave me that. I mean, that sentiment right there was exactly why I wrote the book, why I created my first pain program in 2022 and why I made this challenge. I have been trying to figure out the correct format for years without success, and I feel like I'm finally hitting on something that might actually work if I can figure out how to find my people. I just feel so fulfilled knowing that this is working for someone, and it made my whole month. Dana Karen, DK, we love you. We're so proud of you. We're so proud of the work that you're doing. Thank you for sharing this with us. Thank you for being you, and thank you for helping people in pain get their move on. Lesley Logan 3:53  All right, my win. Here it is real quick. You guys, I got to film for Pilates Anytime again, and they're dear friends of mine, and they challenged me to come up with some really great stuff. And we looked at the stuff that people have liked to play as anytime and what I want to do, and it's different than what I can do at OPC, and it's really quite fun. And so I can't wait for this content to come out, but I also just love that it challenged me. Challenged me to like, how do I succinctly say what I want to say in this tutorial that's different than my YouTube stuff. How do I create this class so that it makes sense at home, so you can repeat it forever and ever. I don't know their audience as well as I know my OPC audience, and that's different. And so it just was a fun challenge, and I had a great time. And I love the team at Pilates Anytime, and I also want to celebrate that they are been around for 15 years, and they really paved the way for OPC and other platforms like mine to even exist, and they've been so supportive of me and my journey and so just a win for everyone all around. Lesley Logan 4:50  So, now, here we go. Life never leaves me without options. Life never leaves me without options. Life will never leave you without options. Lesley Logan 5:01  Thank you for being you.

Send us a textIf you're reading this, chances are you grew up with cartoons. We all grabbed a bowl of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs on Saturday mornings, and sat cross-legged in front of our family TVs as kids to watch generation-defining 'toons — ranging from Bugs Bunny to My Little Pony to He-Man. But at some point, "cartoons" crossed a tipping point and became "animation." The Flintstones, The Smurfs and Scooby-Doo evolved into South Park, Ren & Stimpy and The Simpsons. And just like that, cartoons weren't just for kids anymore. So to what do we attribute the staying power of animation? Is it nostalgia? Is it that we embrace our entertainment growing along with us? How did we get from Steamboat Willie to Pickle Rick? Pop this particularly wide-ranging edition of FYF into your earholes, and kick it around with the boys. 

Lesley Logan kicks off this FYF with a shocking CPR training stat and ends on a high note with inspiring wins, including an epic push-up record by a grandma and major business milestones from Agency member Jeanne Cho. Lesley also shares her own big win about staying ahead of the game with her latest flashcard project. If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/podcast.

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach.

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 0:48  Hey, Be It babe, welcome to your fabulous Friday, right? Oh, fabulous. No, that's not the right FYF. So it's Fuck Yeah Friday. It's just gonna stay that way. And this is where we celebrate a lot of wins, and I love celebrating wins so make sure you're sending them in. We also talk about things that are inspiring, because there's a lot of crap out there, and then sometimes I bring up some crap, but then, like, we educate ourselves. So here's the deal. This one might not actually make you feel good, but we're gonna have, we have two things. I'm not gonna end on some bad note, but so a study found that out of 20 dummies used in a CPR certification course, only one had breast overlays, meaning participants couldn't actually practice on a dummy that accurately portrayed an average woman. So he also found that during a cardiac emergency, bystanders are less likely to provide women with CPR because they wouldn't feel comfortable performing the procedure and touching their breast. When women are blatantly overlooked in tests and trainings like these and others, crash test dummies or defibrillator pad trainings, it is, not only proves to be unjust, it can quite literally mean life or death. So ladies we've got to know this. We need to know we're less likely to receive CPR. And I don't want to say that to scare you. That's not what I'm trying to do here. What I am also trying to do is educate us, right? Because I have done CPR classes like every other year, and I can tell you right now, never in my life it has one of my dummies had breasts on it, and something that I embarrassingly, am aware of as, like, I have a very hard time with the Heimlich maneuver. I have a very hard time finding people's belly buttons. I'm like, oh my God, we were at this restaurant and someone's choking. I'm like, I noticed she's choking at the table. I was about to give I'm like, I know that she doesn't have time, like, and I know how to do it, and I also know that I have the hardest time finding the belly button. And as I got up from the chair and screamed she's choking, a doctor right next door, got up and did the whole thing, and I was thank God for medically trained people. But I just want to say, even as a woman with breast, we need to know these things, so go get trained. We should start demanding these things. You know, if we start doing that, maybe this can change how things are. Lesley Logan 2:41  Okay, so, but because I don't want us to be angry all fucking time because it's annoying. Here we go. This is gonna be so cool. So a grandma does 1575 push ups in one hour, her second world record after planking for four and a half hours. So go grandma. Yep, she racks up a second world record, 1575 push ups. That is insane. She is a grandmother of 12 people, you guys. Here's her name, DonnaJean Wilde, 59, from Alberta, Canada. I mean, this happened last September, but girl, you are impressive. I don't feel the need to have to ever do this. But I actually love that you did it. And I think the more we have records like this from women like you, the more young girls and those 12 grandkids, and the friends of those 12 grandkids can see like, wow, look at all the things that I can do. Look how unstoppable you are. So freaking cool, right? So cool. So anyways, thanks, grandma. Thanks. Thanks, DonnaJean Wilde. Lesley Logan 3:42  Okay, so now let's do your wins. All right. This one is from Jeanne Cho she is an Agency member, and I'm actually super stoked for her. She's a part of our new agency as well, and she's been using the Lesley bot, and it's really fun to see how this bot, who's been trained on 10 millions of my words, has been helping this amazing person out. So, Jeanne, we got two wins to share of yours today. So you'll be our wins today. A client who loudly complained and quit with price increase last spring just came back. I mean, yeah, that's what happens. Because they're like, I went to other places and the cheaper ones aren't as good as you. So, go Jeanne. Jeanne hired a sub to teach when I travel and for the hours I don't want to work, feels like progress. Fuck yeah. Completely booked for the next month. Way to go. Event Marketing Company reached out about a well paid opportunity to provide Pilates at a running event with huge brand sponsors. Even if I don't get it, I'm thankful for opportunities that come my way. Yes, I love that Jeanne, thanks for like sharing that we can be grateful for just having the opportunity come the way, even if it doesn't pan out, I think that's beautiful. Old clients continue to find their way back, and new clients are walking in. Two new clients this week, in fact, and those hours replace my injured two time a week, client who's out for three months, one new client has expressed uplifting appreciation that can't help but make me feel awesome. She had two diastasis repair surgeries and had been declined another studio. She felt the difference after one session and is excited to work together. That is so beautiful. I mean, I hate that she was declined for another studio, but honestly, I also don't mind if a teacher was, didn't feel comfortable that they didn't sell her on something that wasn't going to work for her. So way that I'm glad that she found you. The second new client is a referral. They are college roommates currently, and shows that even students who can't afford Pilates can afford Pilates, and the initial client even took a winter break off, but dutifully came back. Jeanne, look at all these wins. I love it. I think wins can be these little things that just keep adding up, and we have to look for these wins. It can be as simple as someone came back after complaining a month, a year ago. Look at that. It's a win. That's a testament to, like, what you did. Lesley Logan 5:44  Okay, now, one of my wins. So this is a couple months old, but I haven't been able to tell you guys yet, the Accessory Flashcard project, my final deck in the series, was on time. Everything was on time. The entire team. I mean, obviously we should be by now, but, like, we were on time for everything. And the presale went so amazing, and people were so excited. And I mean, their excitement was really what made the whole thing so fun. And the deck is really cute as well. Yes, by now, we should know what we're doing, and we should be on time with things, but the reality is is like, there's always life that lifes in there. And so what I can say is we planned ahead. We put time, block things the way we wanted to, and it actually all did work out like it was supposed to. And I'm currently filming the tutorials for it, and we're going to be done a month in advance, because my assistant and I have been really, really working on like, how do we stay two months ahead? So if I ever get sick or something ever pops up, we can always say yes to things we want to do. So I'm so proud. The win, this is not a small win, of course, the accessory flashcard deck going to presale and going to print, it will be finished when we actually get to hit ship on those things in the summer. But it's not one of those, like, small wins. It's not an esoteric win. It's obviously like a big project win. But what I'm celebrating right now is it's really easy to procrastinate, to postpone, to delay, it's really easy to start a project not finish. No one would have cared, really, if we're like, it's gonna be another six months, everyone. But we worked a year ago at planning this out, and then we made adjustments on this project based on the last rollout. And I think if you can always reflect, refine and continue, then even if we start a new project that has nothing to do with the flashcards, I know the team, and I know how long things take, and we can take that information to make sure the next thing goes off without a hitch. And that, to me, is the win. Like you learn your lessons from the experiences you have. In fact, we actually all learn more from a failure or from a mistake than we do from a success. So I'm just so proud of this team. I'm so proud of all of you. We couldn't do this whole thing without all of you. So just thank you so much. Lesley Logan 7:49  Okay, here's your mantra for your weekend, and then you can go. Rest is my medicine, peace is my birthright. Rest is my medicine, peace is my birthright. Rest is my medicine, peace is my birthright. Babe, you're amazing.

Send us a textHey, do you eat food? If so, then this episode of FYF just might be for you. However, if you're not an ADVENTUROUS eater? If you have a traditional tongue, or a persnickety palate? Then prepare to have your mind (and taste buds) well and truly expanded. Because on this edition of the show, Saint and Jim are discussing food fads — those equal parts trendy and tasty goodies that are just as fresh imagination-wise as they are fresh out of the oven. We're talking innovative ingestibles like Sliders. Cronuts. Edible foams, creative cookies and crazy concoctions. Some took off, and made the great American plate. Others were literal flashes in the pan. But they all stretched the boundaries of the menu, and reminded us that food can be fun as well as fandom. So dig in.

We build it like that. It is the thing you can't put a price on, to be completely honest. Because, in life as adults, I think it can be really difficult to make friendships like there's so much going on. For example, I meant to text a girlfriend two weeks ago. She travels a lot. I travel a lot. Something happened in my life and Brad's like, I think you should text her and I was like, yeah, I should text her and I just didn't do it. And then I was taking my yoga class, oh my God, I need to text and see how she is. Now that I'm in town, I can't wait to see her. and after yoga class, she'd already text me. So I just fucking love that. But that friendship, while amazing and wonderful, and for sure, I can go a month without texting her, and we're still the deepest and wonderful of friends, on this retreat there is not a month to make a friendship. You make it in a minute. Lesley Logan 0:44  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 1:27  Hello, Be It babe. How are you? I'm your guest today. No, it's me, and I'm really excited to chat with you. I realized you hear about us talking about Cambodia a lot, like, in my clips of like, come with us, come do Pilates, come do this, and you probably take a week off of your life to get on a plane, and for most people, at least 17 hours of travel, but probably more like 21, to do all that, you probably want to know a little bit about what is it like, right? And so I thought I'd just have you like a lowdown of my three favorite parts. And on Thursday, Brad is going to tell you about his favorite parts about the retreat. And I hope that this really makes you realize, oh, I'm coming in October. This is going to be something I do. And if you're someone who wants to host your own retreat, you can actually use our system and our team helps that make it easier for you. Obviously, you'd replace Pilates with whatever it is you do. But at any rate, let me tell you a little bit, so first of all, why do we go to Cambodia? Why do we go to Siem Reap? Well, if you're at all like me, you're probably like, hmm, can I go to an island? Can I lay on a beach? And I definitely understand a vacation of that sort. But this is not that. And you come to this for a different reason. So first of all, when Brad and I got married, which would be 10 years ago this October, Brad and I got married he wanted to go to Siem Reap for our honeymoon. And I was like, wow, that is not what I thought honeymoon would be. I thought a honeymoon would be like an island in Thailand on a boat. But really, I was like, okay, well, if we do Siem Reap, can we go to Thailand, and we also went to Japan. It was really, really fun. And the most hilarious thing is like, what we resist is there to assist, because we landed in Siem Reap and I was, my soul is home. It was dark, you guys. It was so dark. We went straight to bed. But like, I just was so excited to be there. I love the smell of it. I love the energy. It was just so different. And I think, you guys, we have an episode that came out with Monique Rhodes about getting out into cultures that are different than ours, and getting a little uncomfortable. And I just realized there was like a sense of joy around me and energy inside me that was like this is amazing. I got up and we watched the sun rise over Angkor, and then we went to like, seven temples in one day, maybe nine, and I just knew I'd come back. And so a year later, we had two retreats that year. We took people, Pilates clients, there, and we just had so much fun. We did it again and again and again. Now we've been, I don't know, 10 or 12 retreats. At any rate, what happens when you come on a retreat with us, and the reason I think you will love this so much is I really believe that women should travel abroad. I think it's really important for women to see different ways the world works, see how different cultures support the people around them and community around them. I just thought it was just like the coolest thing. And so at any rate, I also know that traveling alone is not actually everyone's cup of tea, and also it might not feel very accessible or very safe. And so when we created this retreat, I wanted you to become to my home, because that's gonna make you feel more comfortable, right? And also we wanted to make it super easy, so that you don't even have to worry about, how do you get from the airport to where we are. It's a different country. t's a different language. Whenever I land in different country, I'm always like, okay, I know once I get to my hotel, I'm gonna be okay, but from the hotel to the airport, how does this work? Do I need a credit card? Do we have to have cash? Do you have to exchange already? What's the cultural system? How far is the airport? Sometimes they're so far away. So you don't have to worry about that, because we actually pick you up. We have one of our most amazing drivers, trusted drivers, who comes and picks you up. You come to our house and we do five Pilates classes over the six days. So we actually do a class when you arrive, just to stretch out from the plane, and I find out like, what your movement goals are that week and what exercises you want to move through. And each class helps each person build up to the practice and things that they want. And we had so many people, like this last retreat, we have people who never did Pilates before, to clients of ours who've been part of OPC for a really long time, to teachers who've been teaching for a really long time, and each person got to work on an exercise that they really struggled with and get some breakthroughs. It was really a lot of fun. And so we do one afternoon class, and then four mornings we do a class. We don't do a class on the sunrise day. I promise you, we get enough steps in. We do. We get enough steps in. And so it's just really quite fun to see also how your Pilates practice can change only in a week, but from day to day depending on what we did the day before, which is just fabulous. It's like creating the Pilates movement habit that you really want. We do it together on this retreat. Lesley Logan 5:39  So Brad will talk more about all the temples and the food and all the other stuff, but I wanted to tell you about the workshops. So I used to do Pilates mat workshops. And the truth is, is that it's hot. It's hot there. And two and a half hours working on our mats, on these exercises. While super fun and interesting, it's also just a lot. It's a lot on the body. It's a lot on the mind. And I don't think it makes your mat practice more consistent when you get home. The mat classes themselves do that. So I pulled together some my favorite things that are like podcast type, my business coaching type, my breath work stuff, all that stuff, I pulled it together, and I put this unique two day workshop together where we do breath work to visualize what we want. Who do we want to be? What is this Be It Till We See It, right? What is that? And then we journal, and you can share what you want. Obviously, don't have to. And then we go through all the different things that you should get clear on. So it's like everything, every Be It podcast has taught us roughly on manifestation and visualization into a workshop, and we end with breath work, and it's just so beautiful to solidify it. Lesley Logan 6:53  Then the next thing, we come back, I take that woo-woo, and I bring in stuff that makes it a one woo, which is, how do we actually get the thing we visualize to become reality? How do we do that? And I can tell you right now, because we've done this so many times, and we've had people do it twice, that we have a woman, her wins will be shared on a future FYF, that in less than six months of the retreat, and what she visualized, she's already doing the things that she put together, already, right, already done. So because we actually talk about, okay, so you're really busy. You've known you want this life for a really long time, but you don't know how to do it. We actually go through a series of exercises to make that a reality. Buy back your time. Make it easier for you to have the habits you want. Make a morning routine that you like to have. Make an ideal schedule that has you and your priorities in it. All the things that you hear me talk about in, like, short, quick sentences, we take hours to, like, really dive in and depending on who you are and where you're at in your life, one of the practices we do might be the exact thing you need, where the other one might be for someone else. It's just really fun, because by the end of the second workshop day, you have homework that you can take back on literally, what your first next step is to make this vision become a reality, to make this vision something you can be till you see. It's just really, really cool, and it's something that I promise you, like doing breath work outside and hearing birds chirping and sometimes a frog ribbiting to the side, and then the traffic's going by, like it's just really cool, like you're not so removed from life that you're woo, I'm off in Wonderland. And then you visualize something that's not even what you want, but it just sounds so spiritually amazing. No, you visualize what you want. Lesley Logan 8:35  And the thing that this retreat always attracts is the almost epic people, and they change you because they validate you. They see you. They high five you. We had a beautiful soul who was like, I don't want to feel like this. I don't feel like this emotion. I'm going to keep that between the retreaters and the women there didn't even know her, and they're like, no, no one would ever judge you for that. You don't need to feel like that. And validated her in a way they don't know her, you know. And so that to me, that community, that family, that we build, we build it in a class, we build it like that. It is the thing you can't put a price on, to be completely honest. Because in life, as adults, I think it can be really difficult to make friendships like there's so much going on. For example, I meant to text a girlfriend two weeks ago. She travels a lot. I travel a lot. Something happened in my life, and Brad's like, I think you should text her. And I was like, yeah, I should text her. And I just didn't do it. And then I was taking my yoga class. Oh my God, I need to text her and see how she is. Now that I'm in town, I can't wait to see her. And after yoga class, she'd already text me, so I just fucking love that. But that friendship, while amazing and wonderful, and for sure, I can go a month without texting her, and we're still the deepest and wonderful of friends, on this retreat, there is not a month to make a friendship. You make it in a minute, and it's really quite cool, because these people have no idea who, what your life is back at home, and so you can kind of explore the things that you desire, the things you want, the things that you're worried about, in a way that is in a different vacuum, half a day away from everything else. Lesley Logan 10:08  You can notice what you miss, what you don't miss. You can notice what you don't actually worry about, and what you are and it really helps you have some perspective. But most importantly, you get these deep friendships that just this shared experience, that even a year, five years from now, you'll think back to this trip and that person, that conversation, and how integral it was into you becoming more of the person you want to be. I think it's really hard to dream up what your future should be in the current chaos of your life. I think it's just really hard. Because even if you are able to, like, close your eyes and tune out all the noise, the moment you're done with the meditation, there's a knock on the door, an extra bill came that you weren't expecting, or someone texts you out of the blue and needs something. And so it can be really hard to, like, stay in that juiciness, right, to stay in that space, to really pull it together, to pull the whole dream together, pull a vision together, to, like, really explore what you don't want without any outside influence. And so yes, we're there and we're outside, and there's gonna be influence, but that influence is going to be, oh my God, over a thousand years ago, a bunch of people built these temples without machines, right? They did a bamboo and elephants, and someone put this from idea into reality, and there was a whole world here thriving away from the ocean a thousands years ago, because they were able to figure out how to get the water to run the wrong direction so that they could live. Talk about moving actual mountains to create a society that thrives and survives. Lesley Logan 11:48  And so to me, what is so cool about prioritizing your Pilates practice, or even starting a Pilates practice and being around other people and having the most incredible experience, an exposure to something so different. In Cambodia, they have a very savory breakfast, okay, and it's very filling, because a lot of them work outside, and most of us probably barely sit down and enjoy our breakfast. But there, we like sit down, enjoy it. We get to explore it. We have it outside. There's all these different things we do, and having that such a different cultural experience keeps you from doubting or putting up obstacles to making your dreams a reality, which is why so many of our retreaters have come back again and have made changes within a week, 30 days, six months of their life, and are having their dream become a reality, and more importantly, they're in community, because it's, like I was saying, was so hard to build friendships. You build them in seconds because you all are there because you wanted a week away. So you have that thing common. You're all there because you're like, I wanted to see this. I wanted to go on this experience. And so it really brings barriers down and allows you to have really deep, wonderful aha conversations, and yeah, you'll go shopping or go for a walk with someone you literally met yesterday. And it's just, it's just magical. So I'm really obsessed with this retreat. I really love exposing people to a culture that's so different than theirs. I really love people seeing how uncomfortable they can be. Not that the retreat is uncomfortable at all, but meaning like, yes, you can do that long flight. Yes, you can get to a foreign country on your own. Yes, you can be among strangers and make friends. Yes, you can do Pilates five times in one week. Yes, you can visualize what you want. Yes, you can try a food that you've never heard of and like it. Yes, you can, right? And what that brings in your confidence that you take home with you. Most people get home and they're like, take me back. How do I go back to where that was? Because there's just something so present in your body when you're there. That's how I can describe it. You just get so present, get out of all the chaos, and you get to just be yourself among some really cool people. Lesley Logan 14:04  So I want you to come. I want you to come this year. I want you to come with us. I want you to stay at my house. Want you to move with me. I want to hear what you dream of, and I want to celebrate that, and I want to help you find the first next step for that. And I want to build a community with you that puts in, build in cheerleaders and accountability buddies to remind you, oh my God, remember this? I want to give you memories that last a lifetime. Lesley Logan 14:28  So go to crowsnestretreats.com so that you can be it till you see it on this and I think the Be It Action, I would just be like, what if you could do this trip? What if you could go on a trip? What if you were someone who could go on this trip? What would that look like? Who would you have to be? What help do you need? Just, do you need a travel agent to help you book the flight? Okay, let's do that. Don't let that technology stop you. Don't let the crazy trip stop you. Do you need someone to watch your dog? I bet you there's someone who can just watch your house and your dog for you. There are, literally, those websites for that. What if you could make this trip happen instead of going, oh, next time, oh, I'm too busy this year. What about next time? What if you could make it happen? I think that's my Be It Action Item. Lesley Logan 15:08  And I will say, I pulled this for Brad, but I think it's really cool for this podcast, it says my creativity exists outside the paradigms I'm told to squeeze myself into. My creativity exists outside the paradigms I'm told to squeeze myself into. You are told all the time, busy, busy, busy. People are busy. Get stuff done. And you're also told a ton of stuff about why you can't take a week off for yourself. You must be on a trip you do with others. You can go on this alone. We've got others for you. Yes, you can. You can. And the way the retreat is set up, if you fly on a Friday night, depending on where you live, you will be there on Sunday morning at the latest, maybe Sunday afternoon. The retreat starts in the early evening, and we end on a Friday morning, so that you can fly out on a Friday and be home probably on a Friday. Solike a week, a week of work. Come on, what are you waiting for? Lesley Logan 15:57  All right, loves. I hope that it was fun to go on a little adventure with me, letting me share why do this retreat? Why I want you on it? What you're going to do with me on it. Thursday, Brad is going to talk about all the other goodness, his favorite parts, and I think it's really fun to hear why he loves it so much. And then you get to experience both of us on a retreat together. And the joy and the adventure is just, well, it's a good kind of contagion. All right loves, until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 16:24  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Send us a textWe all know this to be true whether we realize it consciously, or not: our sense of smell is the one of the core five most closely tied to our memory. If we pick up a particularly evocative scent (especially if it's been awhile), we're immediately transported to the last time we detected it. The reasons for this are complex biologically, but regardless — nothing has quite the power to produce nostalgia like a unique aroma, especially one from childhood. On this edition of FYF, Saint and Jim break down some of the weirdest, wildest and most wonderful smells that they (and others) can remember as being tied to specific memories, and encourage you to recall the same. Plus: all the news that's fit to nerd.

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 0:51  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig in to this validating convo I had in the last episode with Dr. Judith Joseph. Brad Crowell 0:59  Dr. Judith Joseph. Lesley Logan 1:00  So good. I clearly decided to start while Brad is still getting ready, and we're not going to worry about that because he has ADD, I have ADHD. We're just going with it. Okay? This is how two people making it work. Guys, how are you? I cannot believe this is episode 509, on the day that we're recording this, I'm gonna actually post and celebrate the episode 500 that like just happened. It came, it went. Life was going on. Because, you know, life, life's fucking life, guys. Lesley Logan 1:26  So today is April 10th and it's Consumer Awareness Week. Consumer Awareness Week takes place from April 10th to 16th this year. Oh, thank you. Brad Crowell 1:37  Ready to get started now, guys. Okay, here we go.Lesley Logan 1:37  This day aims to educate buyers and consumers about their basic rights. This includes access to information regarding the goods and products they are purchasing. The sellers are enforced by law to reveal the ingredients they are using in their products, and they also have to follow certain guidelines regarding quality and standard of the product of being sold. If any of the above stated rules are broken, the seller's answerable to the court of law. Yes, consumers are powerful and many laws have been passed to protect them from being exploited. Are you aware of all of your rights? If not, celebrate the week and find out all there is to know. So here's the deal, actually, really, really important. Depending on what state you live in, those who are in the States, you have different consumer buyer laws, depending which country you live in, like there's these different things. So definitely, if you don't know, you should absolutely do some research and do some Googling. But I also just want to say, like, we're recording this after several different weeks and days and months of like, exercising our consumers and power, and it is working. Like, have you seen how much it's working? Like, I don't shop at Target, but I've been part of the not shopping at Target. Like, you know, there's a couple things we need, I was like, not getting it there. My poor assistant was like, so where are we getting these things? And I'm like, oh, here's an art store you can go get them at, and they're $1 more, and it's gonna be fine. So Target's less, like, $15 billion the last time I checked, $15 billion, $15 billion, you guys, this is great news. I don't want anyone to lose their jobs, none of that kind of stuff. But also, like, we have to tell these people who is in charge here, so. Brad Crowell 3:04  Yeah, it's actually really difficult right now, especially in the States, with people taking a wrecking ball to the things that that actually hold companies accountable, such as the FTC and their Consumer Protection Bureau. So there are literally laws that are supposed to protect us, and right now, there are people in power who are trying to give companies back the power to do anything that they choose, and that is going to eventually affect every single person, not just in the United States, but if you're buying products that were made in the United States and you're overseas, they might not be made with the same kind of qualities that, you know, they need to be, so. Lesley Logan 3:45  So here's the thing, even if you feel like you have no rights or voice, your dollar has power wherever you live in this world. And so where you spend that money does matter. And I get it like we have been in places in the States where I'm like, okay, so this is the only place we can shop right now. This is the only place to go. So, you know, don't, please, don't starve. Please don't, like, go without, but like, if you can spend an extra dollar and go to a different store, go support small businesses. Go support women-owned businesses. Go support people of color businesses. Like, I promise you, you'll feel so much freaking better. You'll just feel better. Like, it felt good to be like, oh, we're gonna, look at this place over here that has exactly what we need.Brad Crowell 4:18  I mean, slash or I'm just buying less stuff because I'm like, oh, I need to buy that thing and what would be my normal thing would be, go to Amazon and just order the thing. Lesley Logan 4:26  You know, in one of the FYFs, I actually told people how they can boycott like in a way that like helps them. So if you haven't ever listened to FYFs, I'm adding like things in it that inspire me, plus your wins, plus my wins, and they're still under 15 minutes. And I actually did do it. It's really fun. Okay. Brad Crowell 4:41  Cool. Cut me off. So what I was actually gonna finish saying there is that, you know, I'm actually buying less stuff because my natural inclination is to just go to Amazon and then to just order it, right? But now I'm like, okay, well, if I'm not ordering from Amazon, or if I'm not ordering from Target, or if I'm not ordering from Walmart, you know, then where am I going to get this? And now there's more effort to go figure that out, and probably requires a trip to the store, which I don't really have the time and the schedule to just go do that. So the convenience is, is definitely something that we're trading. But also my pocketbook thanks me, because did I really need to buy that thing. Chances are it's 50-50.Lesley Logan 5:23  Yeah, yeah. Well, in the FYF episode, I actually explained it, you could also borrow it if you need to, like, if you really need it, but you don't need it forever, you could just borrow it, right? So anyways, we have to keep going. So know your rights. Consumers all around the world do some research. This will actually make you it'll make the companies that you work with even better because of it. Brad Crowell 5:40  Yep. Lesley Logan 5:41  Okay, we just literally wrapped up the eLevate retreat. So that's a retreat at our house for those who graduated the eLevate program. And we also had just wrapped the reformer weekend for eLevate round five, which is super, super fun. If you're interested as a teacher in eLevate, you can apply for 2026's program, and then that way you could come to 2027's retreat, because the retreat is for the grads, and it's really special. I guess, don't you love it? I love it. I love having the people here. I love having all the different years of grads here. I love being able to see them in person. So it was absolutely fabulous.Brad Crowell 6:14  It's a good time. It's a good time. People are amazing, and it's, what's been really fun is to see the incredible sense of community created even across different groups of grads. So year one, year two, year three, etc, etc, where, where they're intentionally building community, and they're part of this really amazing group. So it's been fun to see that from our perspective, for sure. Lesley Logan 6:38  Yeah. And then also, last week, we actually opened up the registration for the UK tour, the Mullet Tour. Brad Crowell 6:41  The Mullet Tour. Lesley Logan 6:41  So, you guys, if you are in Europe or the UK, or you want to fly there, we're going to be there this September. Brad Crowell 6:52  Yeah, we're going to be there in September. And what is a Mullet Tour, Les? Lesley Logan 6:55  Business in the morning, Pilates in the evening. That's how it goes. Business in the front, party in the back, business in the morning, Pilates in the back, in the evening. No? Brad Crowell 7:05  Well, sort of. You just mixed a whole bunch of things, but it's business in the front, Pilates in the back.Lesley Logan 7:12  Right, but it's in the morning and then the Pilates is in the evening. Brad Crowell 7:15  Yeah, okay, we're gonna go with that. Lesley Logan 7:17  Well, that's what the Mullet Tour is. It's our second event. It's not annual, because we skipped a couple years. So I don't know the next time we'll be in the UK. I'll be really honest. We're already booking 2026 stuff, and 2027 we just got booked for something potentially so like this might be it, UK, for a couple, for a little bit, so. Brad Crowell 7:35  For a bunch of years. Lesley Logan 7:37  Yeah. So get in. Brad Crowell 7:38  Do it. Make sure you're paying attention. Lesley Logan 7:41  If you understand how the UK works, the studios are quite small, so space is limited, opc.me/uk is where you can get that information. You can come to workshops. You can come to classes. Obviously, the deal is in there. If you get all the good stuff for the Mullet, the whole Mullet, you need the whole Mullet to get the deal. Also coming up. Brad Crowell 7:57  You need to show up with a mullet or you can't come. Just kidding. Don't do that.Lesley Logan 8:02  (inaudible) on a lot of people. So don't do it. All right. April and this month that we're in right now, towards the very end, it is Spring Training. What is Spring Training? Well, there's the baseball people's doing spring training, and it's our version, and it's a week of Pilates classes with the OPC teachers and myself, mat classes, reformer classes, chair classes, tower classes. You can get the mat only ticket, or you can get the full spring training pass. It's a freaking great deal. If you go to opc.me/events, you'll hear about it as an early bird, which means you'll get a better price than anyone else. Brad Crowell 8:35  Yeah, get yourself on the wait list. Lesley Logan 8:36  You don't have to be a teacher. You can be someone who's just been doing Pilates. You can also be someone who's like, pie-curious, and you're like, I don't know. Maybe this is time. It's gonna be a lot of fun. I'm just gonna say we have uniforms. The dog has a uniform, everything. Brad Crowell 8:37  It's gonna be great. In fact, there's a theme to this one. It's all about the push ups. Lesley Logan 8:54  Oh yes. Brad Crowell 8:55  So this is our first annual spring training. We do want to do this every single year, but that will depend on you, gotta show up. Lesley Logan 9:03  We wouldn't do push ups next year. And also, if you would, ah, push ups, it means you have to sign up.Brad Crowell 9:08  That's right. Lesley Logan 9:08  It means you have to sign up. Brad Crowell 9:09  It's intentional. All right, cool. So that kicks off at the end of April. So go to opc.me/events right now, so you can get on the waitlist where you're actually gonna get that early bird offer. Only the people on the waitlist get the early bird offer. If you are a Pilates business owner in any way, meaning you are taking clients and getting paid by anybody, then I want you to come to my free Pilates business webinar. It's called the Growth Accelerator, and it's going to help you, whether you have a studio or home studio, or you're taking clients in the park. Go to prfit.biz/accelerator. That's profit without the O dot biz slash accelerator, and we're going to be talking about the three biggest secrets that Lesley and I have learned over the past 2500 clients we've coached. We're going to share those things with you, and it is awesome, actually. It's really been a great experience so far, doing this on a consistent basis, and we want you to join us. Lastly. Lesley Logan 10:01  Lastly, we're going to Cambodia this fall. Brad Crowell 10:05  Yep, October. Lesley Logan 10:06  Yeah and people are like, oh, I want the 2026 dates. And I have to say, we have a tentative date, but we are waiting on some news. Brad Crowell 10:11  We are waiting on a couple of other things to fall into place before we can confirm the 2026 dates. But here's what we can tell you, we're only going once in 2026, this year '25, we were able to go twice, next year because we're traveling to Europe at the beginning part of the year, we can only go to Cambodia one time. Lesley Logan 10:27  And so we want you to come this time. Brad Crowell 10:29  Don't wait, like, a year and a half from now to do this. Lesley Logan 10:31  No, I mean, like, things will just be, your life is not going to get less busy. Brad Crowell 10:35  It's true. It's very true. Lesley Logan 10:37  Like, just like, when does that ever happen? So, so you're going to go to crowsnestretreats.com and snag your spot. Brad Crowell 10:43  Yep, crowsnestretreats. Lesley Logan 10:45  Only a few spots. Go grab yours. Okay. Brad Crowell 10:48  crowsnestretreats.comLesley Logan 10:50  Yes, do that. Okay, we have to talk about Dr. Judith Joseph, but first we have a few audience member questions. Audience questions to answer. Brad Crowell 10:58  We do. This is interesting. We've had a bunch of questions come in recently about types of equipment and models and brands and all those kinds of things. So I'm just gonna quickly zip down them, @JohnLanningQ7B on YouTube, asks, hey, my wife is looking for a machine currently. What brand model is yours, Specifically? He was referencing a reformer video, @Finaloadonell3419 on YouTube asks, where can I buy a mat like you're using? And @marilynhighness4234 on YouTube also asks, hello, thanks for this great workout. May I ask where can I get this Pilates mat with handles and a strap? Thank you so much. Lesley Logan 11:35  Yes. Okay, so John, my reformer is a Contrology Reformer. I like the 80-inch. It's really amazing. Prefer it to anything longer, unless your wife is over six-four, that's what I would get. And I like calling a machine myself as well. I think it's really cool. Also, it makes it feel like that's why it's expensive. It's a machine. I buy it. So that's what I use. Brad Crowell 11:57  You can go to opc.me/reformer and you can literally get a link to the one that Lesley uses. Lesley Logan 12:03  There's a little discount on it too. Then for my mat lovers, I use the Contrology Mat. That's the mat with the handles. I prefer the Contrology Mat to all the other brands out there. Yes, I've tried most of them all, and the rest are too squishy, way too squishy. And after just teaching the reformer weekend and then having the mat weekend eLevators, every single different teacher who was on my equipment was able to be like, oh, this, this is what is happening, right? Like, this is what, like, this is why I'm not connecting when I think I'm connected, because most people are on too squishy of apparatus. And so if you're a tight person, the squish, kind of like fills in the gaps, and if you're a hyper mobile person. you kind of like, fold into the squish. So you want to get the Contrology Mat and. Brad Crowell 12:47  Just fold in the squish. Lesley Logan 12:48  You fold in the squish. Brad Crowell 12:49  Just fold it in. Lesley Logan 12:50  Just fold it in. Brad Crowell 12:50  Fold it in. Lesley Logan 12:51  Yeah. So opc.me/mat gets you the discount link for the mat, if those for whatever reason, don't show a discount at checkout, then just hit me up and with your email and I will connect you to a person. So that was all the questions, right? I answered them. Brad Crowell 13:05  Yeah, you got all three. Lesley Logan 13:06  Yeah. I'm a cool, I'm a Contrology demo center. So I think it's really important that you know I'm freaking biased. However, that being said, my bias does not come from me not having explored all the equipment or having other brands. I have actually just sold them because I prefer the Contrology I really think that they have a great thing going on there, and their customer service is really helpful if anything goes wrong. So I, not that that does happen. But you know, like, shippers, things like, you gotta just, you want to have build up relationship. And I really love Balanced Body, and Jay worked with them closely on the Contrology line and you know how much I love Jay, by the way, the day that we're recording, this is his birthday. Brad Crowell 13:40  What? Lesley Logan 13:41  It's his birthday today. Brad Crowell 13:42  Come on, I didn't know that. Lesley Logan 13:43  Yeah, we did. Last year, we actually celebrated his birthday with him.Brad Crowell 13:48  Well, I didn't, yeah, okay, cool. I'm not remembering last March 25th.Lesley Logan 13:52  Happy Birthday, Jay. And he hates it. Brad Crowell 13:55  Happy Birthday, Jay. Lesley Logan 13:55  He hates right now that we're doing any of this. Okay, well, now go get your Contrology stuff, and if you have questions about any of it, you can just DM me. I will happily answer. I love talking about equipment and making sure you get the right stuff for you and what your practice is. And you know, somebody else was like, hey, I'm thinking of getting a folding reformer instead of a mat and spine corrector. And I was actually able to talk about, like, why there is a classical reformer that folds. I have not personally experienced it. It is not cheaper than a regular reformer. It just happens to fold up. And when I'm in Chicago this fall, I'll get to kind of explore it with someone who is in my program who has access to a Contrology Reformer, and that one so I can give you more comparisons, but like, it doesn't become cheaper, it just becomes foldable. Anyways. Brad Crowell 14:38  I just want to give you guys a quick update. The actual link for the mat is opc.me/foldingmat, folding mat. Lesley Logan 14:45  Folding mat. Brad Crowell 14:47  Folding mat. Because you're gonna fold in the mat.Lesley Logan 14:49  Fold in the mat. All right. The wheels have come off this bus. We have to take a brief break, and then we're gonna come back and talk about Dr. Judith Joseph.Brad Crowell 14:56  Stick around. Brad Crowell 14:59  Welcome back. All right, let's talk about Dr. Judith Joseph. Dr. Judith Joseph, MD, MBA is a board certified psychiatrist, researcher and passionate mental health advocate, recognized in the 2023 Congress Proclamation Award, with that award. She's dedicated to making mental health conversations more accessible through groundbreaking research and social media. In her book, High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy, Dr. Joseph helps readers identify hidden depression and discover the unique science behind their own happiness. And I'm really excited to dig in, because there's a ton to learn in last episode. Lesley Logan 15:37  I learned so much. I mean, this was like I got turned on to this guest because we have a different guest. We had on about anahandria. And I was like, okay, this is the first time I've heard this word. I'm very interested. And so then a friend of mine who listens to the pod. Brad Crowell 15:52  What it? What is it? Lesley Logan 15:53  Anahandria.Brad Crowell 15:54  No, anhedonia. Lesley Logan 15:56  Anhedonia. Brad Crowell 15:58  Yeah. Lesley Logan 15:58  Anhedonia. Brad Crowell 15:59  Anhedonia, A-N-H-E-D-O-N-I-A anhedonia. Lesley Logan 16:03  Yeah, guys, I'm a little dyslexic. Anyways, so, but I had been turned on to this person, and I did some research. I like, went down the rabbit hole of her, and I was like, oh, I really love that we have another person's voice on this. And also, like, a book that's coming, that's out on this. And so first of all, there's so much in the episode, you must go back and listen to it. Also you have to grab her book, ladies, I think it's gonna be amazing for you to give to your friend. But she said, there's a, there are tons of people out there who have the symptoms of a depression but are still functioning and over-functioning because they are the rock and I think a lot of people listening, I mean, if you didn't feel so seen and so heard during this episode, like you, there's not a time for you to be depressed. Brad Crowell 16:46  Yeah, who's, who's the rock, like, you know the person who keeps the family together, or the person who, you know, you could be the breadwinner, or. Lesley Logan 16:55  You might not even be the breadwinner, but you're, you're the like, you might bring money to the family, but like, you're the person who gets them on the bus. You're the person who gets every like, if you take a day off, there's no groceries for dinner, like you're the rock, like you're the. Brad Crowell 17:09  Teacher, doctor, boss person, you know, whatever. Lesley Logan 17:11  But also, like you could be working at a place, and especially now with everything's going on, you could feel like, if you stop, they'll just replace you, and then you have nothing to go back to, and that's gonna even be more depressing and more so you are just like over. Brad Crowell 17:26  You're not allowed to stop, you're not allowed to fall apart, no way. Lesley Logan 17:28  So you keep it all together, but you're actually like, not happy, and the things that used to make you happy don't make you happy anymore.Brad Crowell 17:35  We have this idea, this preconceived idea, of what depression is, and that's not necessarily like, the only way that depression looks, right? Depression certainly can look like that, but also it, we might not realize that we're depressed because we think, well, I'm out there kicking ass and taking names everyday.Lesley Logan 17:53  I get up, I got, I've showered, I wash my hair, so I can't be depressed because I got dressed and I'm actually doing great at work.Brad Crowell 18:00  Yeah, and, and, you know, I think, I think there's something specific that you said about it, that you said, I'm going through the motions. There's no joy in it, you know. And I think she really responded to that. She, like, lit up. She's like, yes, that's exactly, that's exactly it like, you know, it's absolutely possible to still be doing all the things, but when there's no joy in any of it, that's like, can also be depression, right? Lesley Logan 18:29  Yeah. And I just want to add, before, I want to say, like, she said, not only over time does it wear on you, but it can feel like you don't have anywhere to turn to. Because if you go to the regular medical world, they're gonna be like, here, you look fine, right now, you know so, and my girlfriend is a social worker, and she was trained that people would be coming and looking for medication. So, like, she's like, Lesley, people probably needed it, but they're like, they looked clean. They looked like they got, they got them, like, all the things there. And so I think, like, it's just important to know that these different things are out there, and you might be experiencing them, and you might actually have to be advocating for yourself around these things. So I don't know, I just, this blew my mind.Brad Crowell 19:10  Yeah, and, you know the joy, the element of joy missing, I thought that was intriguing, but, but the other thing that I that like, really blew me away was it seems quite logical to me that we say my biology is different than your biology, so the food that I need is different than the food that you need. I know that they custom-make nutrition plans for the astronauts, they all have a different custom nutrition plan because their bodies function differently. Here's what I never took that to the next step and realized happiness doesn't look the same for everybody either, right? So we have this concept of like, well, do this thing to be happy. Well, that might make you happy, but it doesn't necessarily make me happy. And now that I'm saying it out loud, it sounds very logical, but I never thought about it. And when Dr. Judith said that, she said your happiness is not the same as my happiness. There's a lot of people out there trying all these different things, but it's not working for them. That's because they're basing it off of the science of somebody else's happiness. And she mentioned that, this was also, I found really interesting, so the definition of anhedonia was that, basically you're missing the joy, right? And there's more to it, but I'm forgetting it off the top of my head. But she said it's actually contagious, right? So if you work in a high stress environment, I'm putting that in air quotes, right, I used to work in a place like this, where it was stressful for no fucking reason, right? It was stressful. Why? Because the boss, that's how he felt like a good company's run, right? And so he would make arbitrary deadlines that had literally no reason. This has to be done by tomorrow. Why? Why? What's happening tomorrow? We just have to get it done by tomorrow, right? And it was like this manufactured stress, and it created this, like, high, this frenzy, this high, high, strong atmosphere, right? And that is contagious. And she said, but guess what? So is joy. Joy is also contagious, right? And I thought this is really interesting, because I've, I operated in this high stress environment for like, six years, and you know, people would come in and they would say, how do you do this? And I'd say, I don't know. I just do it, right, but it's probably because I was conditioned to do it. Well, interestingly enough, I think we can also flip that and condition ourselves to find joy, to be in joy, you know? And she said, when you start to shift inside, people are going to notice it in you. You have something that they want, and they're going to start gravitating towards you. Yeah, I, I really appreciated all this. And she said, she said, how do you know what happiness is for you? She said, there's a lot of science under it. Well, first off, she has a quiz about anhedonia, right? And I think that's, that's like a great. Lesley Logan 21:59  I love that quiz. Brad Crowell 22:00  It's a great jumping off point. We're gonna put the quiz in the show notes. The link to the quiz in the show notes.Lesley Logan 22:05  It's only 17 questions, and it takes two minutes. Brad Crowell 22:08  Yeah, it's a self-assessment tool for self-reflection, right, and it allows you to understand, like, yeah, am I finding the joy, you know, in my life? And then from there, she's got tons of resources. She obviously is the reason that the timing is really great here, because her book is just coming out right now, and she has a book called, it's called High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy. Lesley Logan 22:36  You guys, you can pre-order it today and if it's available by the time, but, here's the thing, if you, like, I think this is the type of book that needs to be on the New York Times bestseller list, because we, the more people know about this, the more we can change the contagion. Brad Crowell 22:51  Yeah, so HFD is what it's about, right? High Functioning Depression. And she says, hey, look, it's not like an official diagnosis. You couldn't go to the doctor and get diagnosed as HFD. But I think that that's like comma yet, because her research is started, is effectively what she's trying to understand is, you know, like, you know, can this be something that can be diagnosed? Because people are experiencing these, these feelings, and they are, they are experiencing depression, even though they're, you know, high functioning. So, very interesting research. Lesley Logan 23:27  And also, I recently got added to the DSM at some point, because this, I was in high school, and the DSM was like a three so, like, we find things out and we add it in. So I. Brad Crowell 23:35  I don't know what a DSM is. Lesley Logan 23:37  Oh, it's this, it's like an encyclopedia for mental health stuff. So, like, it's where every doctor goes when it comes to, like, like your.Brad Crowell 23:44  Diagnosis of Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.Lesley Logan 23:47  Yes, yes. So when I was in high school, I remember it being, like, three, maybe, maybe it was a four already. But I remember being, I remember my teacher specifically saying, do you see how there's a three? It means there was a two and a one, and that means that like, as they, as we learn more, we add more and like, I think the more, I think it's really, not that we should label everything, but I do think when you have a label for what you're going through, you feel less alone, and you have an understanding of, like, how to operate, to get back to where you want to be. I just think that's how, that's how it works.Brad Crowell 24:23  Yeah. And I, you know, I do want to say, obviously, Lesley and I are not psychiatrists, but Dr. Judith is, so, you know, that's, that's a really great place to get started.Lesley Logan 24:32  If this is your first episode, and you were thinking you were listening to two psychiatrists. I'm so sorry to disappoint you. We are two people who talk to a lot of smart people.Brad Crowell 24:40  All right, well, stick around. We'll be right back. We're going to dig into those, Be It Action Items that you covered with Dr. Judith Joseph and they're pretty, they're pretty fire y'all. We're gonna dig into the Five Vs. We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 24:53  All right. Welcome back. Let's get into these Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Dr. Judith, Joseph? I'm gonna go first here. She talked about practicing the Five Vs to reconnect yourself. And this, I had to go back and listen to this, like, two or three times, because she also talked about, like a overlapping Venn Diagram, and then, and then, like, the conversation just went a different direction. And we never finished that thought. And I was like, where is it? But we did cover the Five Vs. So the Five Vs, and she writes about them in depth in her new book, are Validation, Venting, Values, Vitals and Vision. She said they can really help you understand the science of your happiness and increasing those little points of joy every day. And what she means by that is, when you're doing research, you often create points, right? You like, like, if this happens, you get this many points. If that happens, you get this many points. If this happens, you lose points, whatever. They're points. It's a point-based system. And she said, so her tools help you evaluate your happiness in a, in a scientific way, you know, so and she uses these Five Vs to reconnect with herself. So what I was saying, I would start with her quiz. I'm sure part of the quiz is going to be going through these Five Vs, or at least that's in her book, and that'll help you start to figure out, like, you know, where are you on this? You know, are you? Are you? Do you have HFD, right? The High Functioning Depression. She says, Start with one or two. Don't, don't start with all five. Lesley Logan 26:24  Be It babes, you do not get to start with all five. You just start with one or two. That's what the doctor said.Brad Crowell 26:29  Okay, so pick one or two, tap into it. Don't overwhelm yourself. Validation and venting are great places to start. And so check in daily, and track your joy. So check in daily, and track your validation and venting and then she has the Anhedonia Scale to measure whether or not you are getting points of joy in life. So that Anhedonia Scale, we're going to link to that in the show notes as well, so that you have a quick link to go find this information. But, but this is great. I mean for, especially, for those of you who are a one woo person like me, having a systematic approach to measuring something as amorphous as happiness is very helpful. It helps, clarify things. So what about you?Lesley Logan 27:22  Well, I was just thinking about how the longer life is going the way it's going where we are, I might become a two woo. I might just go all in on the second woo. That doesn't mean I'm I'm not, I'm not for Dr. Judith. I'm just, just saying it right now, if you hear me say I'm a two woo girl, you know why.Brad Crowell 27:39  Heard it here first, people.Lesley Logan 27:40  Heard it here first. So the other part of her Be It Action Items that I really love was she said she was talking about Deepak Chopra meditation and like, how we can get caught up in, like, I'm a Pilates instructor, I'm a mom, I am this. And like, when you even say your name, your name can represent a lot of different things that you're known for, or what people think you are known for, or whatever it is. And so she suggested you do what he said, which is like, lose your name and just say I am, I am, and you can repeat I am. And what it does is it really helps you become present in just being a human, in your experience that day. And that is like just being right, like we forget to just kind of be in our bodies, which is really, really cool, and you get to have that self-reflection. So, and I think it's easy to forget who we are or like or think of ourselves as, like, having all these different compartments, and then forgetting, like, why are we doing all the things we're doing? What is all this for? You know, and I really like when I lead a breath work session. I'll ask the people, like in agency, I'll ask them, like, okay, like, if you need more energy from others, put your palms up. And if you need more energy, if you want to actually keep the energy you have, you don't want any more from anyone else, put your palms down. And I actually, like, sit there and I ask myself, like, I notice I ask myself the same question, like, do I need more from others? Do I need this? So, like, being able to be present is really helpful and understanding like what we need and who we are and where the joy is coming from. So you guys, I was blown away. I'm blown away by Dr. Judith Joseph, and I am so grateful that she was on the pod. We get to say we knew her when this book goes on the bestseller list and the HFD becomes something that we all can actually like, you know, find easily if we need it.

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 0:48  Hi, Be It babe. How are you? How's it going? Today is your Fuck Yeah Friday. It's the last one of March. Forgive me, on the start of March, I should have been like we're celebrating women, and I really did without even knowing that, because, you know, it's a women's month when it gets close, right? But like, I'm recording in January. And then we started this month celebrating a woman who people were tearing down based on her personal choices, and she had so many accolades. And then we honored two other amazing women. One was just a really great reminder to us all about courage and confidence, and the other was a beautiful child who is autistic, who wanted to have a celebration for her uniqueness. And today, I think is a great FYF to have with who's going to inspire us. Lesley Logan 1:31  This lady's, this is amazing. I almost like want a poster of this in my office, not even a lie. From Jane Goodall, and she said, "It actually doesn't take much to be considered a difficult woman. That's why there are so many of us." Right? Right? So I just thought that that was just a wonderful little thing that we could all just giggle about, because don't we like change how we do things, or change the pleasantries on things, just that we aren't considered difficult, right? We do this all the time. So anyways, thank you, Jane, thank you for that. Thank you for reminding us that it doesn't take much to be considered difficult, because that's why there's so many of us, right? So anyways, if that resonates with you, just remember, you're not difficult. You actually have very amazing, I think the opposite, the, if a male will be difficult, he'd be someone who knows what he wants, right? So I just think that you're not difficult, that you're someone who is clear on your boundaries and know what you want. That's amazing. So, thank you, thank you for that, Jane. Lesley Logan 2:27  Okay, your wins. This is where we're going. Your wins. So I'm going to read from Kelly Nyhan, and this is from the fall, and we got a lot of wins in here, so here we go. First win. I got through all of my emails. I love reading all the newsletters from LL, truly, and one, had my win listed, which is about updating my logo, and I'm feeling so proud. Yeah, that's why you send them in. We celebrate you, and then you get to see them, right? Number two, I'm a bit on the ADHD side, and I have such troubles getting focused and making a plan of where to put everything, notes, ideas, tasks. Anyways, I ordered a planner that I think could help me, and I'm 99% committed to reviewing it each morning and evening. I like digital first sessions and appointments, but I need a place to handwrite everything else. I also took time to visualize how and what. It's really the most debilitating thing for me. It was never a problem, and now after menopause, it's literally ridiculous. Three, finally woke up at my desired time of 5:30 am and did a brain dump of anything and everything. I got to get on paper somewhere and out of my head. I feel a little embarrassed to admit all of this, but happy that it's all in a safe place. I also evaluated my night rituals. Thanks, LL's newsletter, geez, these really helped me think about things. Thanks. And so true, I love getting up early, cheat the day, but for some time now hitting snooze. I think it's because I didn't have a morning routine that I was excited about and felt like it's too many tasks burning me. Well, now I have a handle on them, and today I got up with enthusiasm. Number four, I got a new person in my Mindful Mover Zoom class. It's very much an invite only. Basically, it's referral. So this is so great. And one of my students is coming with a friend for duet, starting November, weekly. And I'm thinking that in the spring, just because it's too cold for snow for the 70 plus age group to drive here, but in the spring, a small group of Pilates group circuit, where they really know the names the exercises thanks to eLevate. Last but not least, sent all of my remaining payment reminders for 2024. Yes, I'm getting a better system to send them before the second to the last and recruit day and requiring payment on a specific day, I take checks and sell only, so I still have to do it manually. It's fine for me for now. Kelly, there's so many great wins in here, and I just want to highlight a couple of them. You do not have to go I've been on the ADHD side. Having ADHD is a superpower. Knowing how you move and operate is actually superpower, right? So it's not the ADHD that's the superpower. It's like knowing how you learn, how you operate, how you do things. That's the superpower. So celebrate that. And also, I love that you're not being perfectionist about checking the thing 99% a way to go, way to be honest with yourself. I love that. I also love that you figured out how to wake up at your desired time. I think we overwhelm ourselves with all the things we have to do, and so then we just go, I don't want to do any of it. Well, you actually have to figure out a way positively to welcome in those things that you want to do. That's how habits are truly made. So congratulations. And I also am grateful that you know that there's little tidbits that you get from the newsletters, that's why you read them, because they help you, right? And what you don't need to do and what you are getting so much better, it's like overwhelming so with all of the things, so way to celebrate that, and I also just want to celebrate like, way to figure out a system for taking your payments and also owning that like, manual that works for you right now. If that's what works, that's what works, right? Just because there are technologies and systems and if this, then that things that are out there, it doesn't mean that it's easier for you to use them. For example, I love to write, so yes, there's chatGPT. There's even a bot on profitablepilates.com there is a bot that's trained of 10 million of my words from podcasts, from courses, coaching calls, seven years of coaching calls and Slack, 10 million of my words. I certainly could say to my own bot, write me a post about this, and I don't, because even though that would be, in quotes, easier, it takes away the joy that I get from doing it. And there's certain things, even doing something like sending payment reminders, there's something in that that's bringing you joy, and that's why you do it a different way, and that's okay. So thank you for letting us all learn from you and be on your journey with you. It's really beautiful. Lesley Logan 6:17  My win. Last April, I heard about a way that my assistant could take over my inbox. I think it was April or May. And I even have the book, and I have all the things, and I just hadn't taken the time to figure it out. We had so much other things going on, and while it would have saved me time to do that, it would have taken more time to do it. So I was just like, no, I'm going to read this book at the end of the year, beginning of the new year, and I will implement it in Q1. So, I can proudly say that here we are the end of Q1 and my assistant and I are implementing this where I am not in my inbox everyday, I actually get to go in there and just read the things that she needs me to respond to and it's not because I don't want to hear from you. First of all, none of you email me. You all DM me, or if you're a member, we talk in our community places. So it's not about putting a barrier up to other people. The reality is, is that an inbox it's like I'm giving away my feelings of the day and how my day will go to random people who are asking for different things that have nothing to do with each other, all at the same time. There's so many different things in an inbox that can take over the day, right? Whereas, if I have my assistant go through my inbox each day and either respond, delete, or put in a folder for me to respond to, it can be more on my timeline, a.k.a boundaries. So while, by the time this is placed, it's been more than a year that I've thought about doing this, that's not the point. The point is, and the win is that I gave myself a deadline, gave myself a timeline to do it, and got my team on board to do it, and now it's being implemented, and it will take some time. You know, it takes some time to build a new system. I'm not really good with details, so we'll see how this goes. But I really am excited to have more time to be creative and to be in my communities that I've built, because that's where I want to play. I want to play in my communities. I don't want to read an email from a random person who bought my email off a list, who's trying to sell me on why someone should be against my podcast. I want things filtered so I can look at those at the time that I want to look at those, so I can spend the time for the people that I do this for, which is you. So anyways, that is my win, implementing something I wanted to do around the time that I wanted to do it. Boom. We did it. Lesley Logan 8:38  All right. Here we go. Let's see, what are we taking away? What are we taking into this weekend? What's our poem, mantra, affirmation, thing to think about? My well-being hinges on being able to hold what hurts, love what's being neglected, and enthusiastically work with what I've got. Well, that's pretty cool. My well-being hinges on being able to hold what hurts, so not hold on, hold what hurts, love what's being neglected and enthusiastically work with what I've got. Here's to not waiting for everything to be perfect and working with what we got. You are amazing. I adore you. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 9:19  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Send us a textNostalgia is a funny thing sometimes. If we get the idea to re-read our favorite book, re-play a beloved video game, or re-watch our comfort movie, we can usually manage that. But what if the thing you want to revisit is a place...and it doesn't exist anymore? What if you want to, say, browse the shelves at Blockbuster? Dig into some fried ice cream at Chi-Chi's? Head to Sears and pick up a set of Craftsman sockets? You can't. Because those places simply aren't around anymore. In this episode of FYF, Saint and Jim take a look into some of the long-gone stores and restaurants they used to visit during their misspent Gen-X youth, and wish they could stop into again. Chances are, you would, too. Did your favorite spot make the list?

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.All right, hello Be It babe. Happy Friday. It is FYF. If this is your first episode with us, hello. This is when we celebrate your wins and my wins and some things that inspired me on the internet. And I should just say that we're recording these early so some of these wins happened a while back when you're listening to this, but so did yours. And what I love is that when I get to, whenever you listen to this and you get to listen to your wins, you get to be reminded of the accomplishments you've had in the past. So I think that's really fun. Also, the whole point of this episode is to really encourage us to notice what we can celebrate. There's a lot of things to celebrate. We have an episode coming out in episode coming out in April, all about high functioning depression, and one of those things is like celebrating the things you did do. So that's a sneak peek on that with Dr. Judith Joseph. But first I've started this year with the FYF having an inspiration from something I saw on the internet. And when this came up was in January, during the fires in LA and I kept getting really irritated about just how people were treating a woman who runs the fire department in Los Angeles, and I wanted to just honor her, because I think, here's what I think, I know as women, we are above and beyond qualified for most of the jobs that we're doing. We're more than qualified. Studies already have proven that women won't apply for something unless they have a 10 out of 10 of the things that people want, where males will apply with six out of 10. So I just want to highlight this amazing person. This is from the account Hear Her Stories. A little bio for the 24-year veteran fire chief of Los Angeles conservatives are calling a DEI hire. Kristin Crowley was a paramedic, engineer, fire inspector, captain, battalion chief, assistant chief, fire marshal and deputy chief. When she took the firefighter exam, she ranked among the top 50 out of 16,000 applicants. She became the city's first openly LGBTQ+ Fire Chief in 2022 and it says, "Congratulations! You have earned it!" She has so earned it. And I wanted to honor her and celebrate her, because it doesn't really matter any other things that she identifies as like this woman has achieved so much, top 50 out of 16,000 applicants. Are you kidding me? Way to go, Kristin. You inspire me. You are amazing. And thank you for the work that you have done and the service you've done for other people of LA. So, you inspired me. That is who I am highlighting today in our FYF episode. And I think that irked me, because I have been more than qualified for things that I've been doing, and then people go, who are you to do this? And it just is, like, how about you go get qualified for your own thing? Like, why can't we just celebrate what someone is doing? And it doesn't mean that they're perfect, doesn't mean that we can't make mistakes. But also, like, people are hired because they are qualified. We have to trust that in a lot of cases. And I really trusted in Kristin. So, anyways, that is my little bee in my bonnet moment. So let me celebrate. I wanted to celebrate her because I just really, I was impressed with that. Listen, I'm so impressed with that. Okay, an FYF from you is Lisa Osoteo. I was going to post this in random, but then, on second thought, it's definitely a win wrapped into other wins. I sold my Allegro 1 Tower of Power. It's been on my mind to do for a year, but my resistant brain would shut down when I would think of the tediousness of it. I'll need to take pictures, clean it up, post it, let go of my sweet first reformer tower. When every time I would use her, I would resent that she wasn't a Contrology reformer, not her fault. She saw me through my Pilates journey when I was learning how to teach, and she saw me through eLevate when I was learning and still learning the repertoire. When I finally told my friend Mandy I wanted to sell her, she put a fire in my butt by matching me up with someone in the area who was looking exactly for what I was selling. I needed all the things I was resisting. I took the pictures, cleaned it up, posted the post and yes, talked to and negotiated with some random strangers. I posted on Sunday, got an offer on Monday, agreed on a price, Tuesday, and today, Wednesday, we saw her off to her new and rightful owner. I learned a lot in this process that when my brain shuts down, it's because I get overwhelmed by too many steps. Two, once I got started with the help, sometimes with good friends, the work itself is manageable. Three, selling can be a win-win for everyone involved. Four, letting go of things that no longer serve you is liberating. Five, I can detail Pilates equipment like no one's business, plus drops of oil do wonders on pins. Thank you. Balanced Body garage. Six, the Pilates community at large are pretty awesome. And seven, I get to buy a Contrology Wunda chair and spine corrector for 2025. So that's my win. Way to go, Lisa. Way to go. I love that. I love Lisa so much. She is just a fabulous person. She's an eLevate grad. She's been on a retreat to us Cambodia. It was just like a fabulous week I got to spend with her. But I love to look at the world through her eyes. And the thing is, is that some of the things were on our to-do list to let go of and get rid of are really going to be the thing that someone else is looking for. And in the world where there's so much stuff, you know, there's so much stuff, and we're like, oh, I want this thing, but I already kind of have a thing. Well, if you can have the thing that you want, and you're just not getting that because you are already stuck with something else, the thing that you have someone else might want, so you can get the thing that you want. And everyone wins. So I love that it's a win-win. So your win is a win-win. Thank you, Liza. Okay, I'm gonna do a win of mine, which actually happens be on the same thing. So around the beginning of the year, I feel like there's just too much stuff. Maybe it's because I've been in a van for a month. Maybe it's because we give a lot of stuff, we get a lot of stuff. And so Brad and I used to live in a really small apartment, and in Los Angeles, in the west side, and so we could not acquire very much because there was no place to put it. And now we have a house, and I'm like, literally looking at stuff that's in a bag in a corner right now, if you're watching on Zoom, I'm like, looking at this. Where did this come from? So we came home from the tour, and I listened to Mom and Me Astrology, and I did not clean on New Year's Day. Well, I wasn't home for New Year's Day, so that was not hard. When I came back, I legitimately went through my closet. I was like, okay, we're not wearing a lot of this stuff. And I went through and I just was like, pretty harsh about the cuts. I was just, let's go. It's time. I honestly, I could do another harsh at it, but we'll wait for that for another day. I also went through all of our towels. They're useful towels. I don't want to throw them away. I don't want to waste and put things in the garbage. So I, like Lisa, I was like, okay, I've got all these clothes, who needs them? I've got all these towels and sheets, who needs them? I get sent a lot of skincare and makeup care and all this stuff that I'm not going to use. And so it's brand new. It's in the box. Who can I get this to? Well, here's the funny thing. This is the win. I opened up Instagram, and I saw that the butcher in town is actually taking clothes to people who lost everything in the fires. Boom, that's gone. Then my friend's store is collecting makeup and clothes for another charity that's in Las Vegas who needs it. And I was like, oh, boom, there's all that. And then someone suggested, oh, contact the pet place. They always need these things. So I contacted the Nevada SPCA, and I said, do you guys want, like, used towels and stuff? Like, we always want used sheets, used, towels, used whatever. Here's when you can drop them off. So my win is, normally, I clean things up and put them in a bag and then they just sit in bags somewhere forever, or I just give them off to a friend, but I really wanted to give it to people who needed it, and here we are. I gotta say, win, checked that off the list, I got to get rid of things I'm no longer using and give them to people who truly need it. And I feel good. It feels good to do that. So I would just say a simple win you like have on your to-do list is to clean out your closet or clean out a junk drawer, just know that there's probably a charity and who's looking for the things you're getting rid of, and it makes the task that you have on your list feel even better to do. And so that is my win of the week. Now for your fabulous mantra, let's see, this one was going to come from the Deck of Plenty. The Deck of Plenty says, I release what keeps me sheltered from my life. Oh, this is so timely for this episode. Don't you love that? I just drew this one. So, I release what keeps me sheltered from life, I create space for what encourages my growth, and I rejoice in the ways that life emboldens my best to come forth always.ed I release what keeps me shelter from life, I create space for what encourages my growth, and I rejoice in the ways that life emboldens my best to come forth always.

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 0:48  Hello. Be It babe. Oh my goodness. Hi. It is your FYF. It is time for us to celebrate some wins and be inspired by people's wins and what is possible in this world and with each other. And I'm just so excited to share with you what I've just discovered. So there's this place in Japan, and it's called the Cafe of Mistaken Orders. Okay, have you heard of this? So, a woman named Akiko created a cafe where her father, with his dementia, could work. And so the place has people who have dementia. You have to have dementia to work there, and then there's some volunteers, and you work two hours a day, and you maybe bring the correct order to someone, maybe you never bring an order, maybe you sit down and talk to people instead. But at any rate, the goal of the cafe is to help people with dementia stay connected to society, which has proven to slow down dementia. And because Japan is this aging country like they have a lot of elderly people, they've been spending a lot of time trying to figure out how to keep the people with dementia connected. They have a lot of dementia cases, and now they have 8000 dementia cafes in Japan. So there's 8000 places where people with dementia are working, and it's just really freaking cool. So, thank you. Asia may rock on Instagram for highlighting Akiko and the Mistaken Order cafe and what this is doing, because I really like it. And I don't know if you've heard, but one in six Americans will have dementia, and if you're a woman, your rates go up, I guess, estrogen stuff, blah, blah, blah. At any rate, I think this is really amazing, and I'm really impressed with people on the things that they can do on this planet with not a lot. What a great idea. You know, sometimes we're like, how do I change the world? Well, how do you change a person's life that you know, and you'd be surprised how that's a domino effect of changing the world, like she's changing a country with this. I'm obsessed. Thank you so much. Lesley Logan 2:36  Okay, so now a win. We gotta celebrate more wins. So Akiko is winning in Japan with that. Kelly Nyhan out of Chicago, who actually, I have, the reason I picked her win is because I'm actually about to see her in a couple of days in Cambodia. So here it is. After two years of working with two different clients, they have finally decided to commit to a permanent day and time per week with the expectation to reschedule when they miss. I highly encourage versus enforced, but I think that my elevated teaching of the work and my intention at around working with them, perhaps has made the difference. I also am a high touch type of communicator, educating, motivating and celebrating along the way in the studio, but also through email, PocketSuite, her scheduling tool, and on social media. So yay. I'm feeling really great about it, and now I can count on the income each week. I also have a boundary, mostly in my head, that I don't work with people unless their intention is to commit to one time per week, no here and there, two times per month, et cetera. Just no. That sounds like a better fit for class for them. Kelly, I love your win. I love that it's kind of a unspoken rule. I love that you have these people who, now, after listening to you all this time, finally feel the importance. You did that. And also, you didn't stop reminding them of this possibility, right? Like you just kept doing it. You've just kept putting yourself out there. You kept being yourself more importantly, and that is so beautiful. So thank you so much for sharing that with us, and what an amazing win. And yes, now you can count on that income, and I'm so excited to celebrate in Cambodia with you. Lesley Logan 4:01  So, my win. Well, Brad and my win. So, okay. Traveling to Cambodia is not always the easiest thing. There's not always a lot of options for us. And I have some airlines I love and some airlines I refuse to fly on. So at any rate, we had the option of having like, six hour layovers in the middle of the night in Singapore. So shorter travel, but like, $300 more a person, okay? Or we could take this really weird flight option, which would have given us 13 hours overnight in Singapore each way. And I decided, not only does that, not to save the money, but I did like the price. I was like, yes, finally, we're under $1,000 to fly to Cambodia, yes. But really, I've always wanted to see the Singapore skyline. I've just always wanted to see it. Just so excited to see it. And so I chose that one because now both Brad and I have an evening to go on a date in Singapore on the way to Cambodia and all the way home. And I share that with you because I think sometimes we don't travel or we don't do things. We're like, oh the time commitment, oh the thing. But what if you could find a silver lining in what is going on with that oh-thing and take advantage of it. So I am totally taking advantage of these ridiculous layovers where I get to leave the airport and see Singapore. I get to see it. I'm so, so excited. So it's just gonna be it's gonna be beautiful. I'm gonna post pictures. I'm calling this a win. 13-hour layover. That's a win. It's not funny. So maybe you can also have a 13-hour layover. Where would you lay over for 13 hours? I want to know. Lesley Logan 5:38  All right, your mantra. Why not? Why not? How timely I just threw this from. How timely. Why not? 13 hours in Singapore. Why not? Why not? Why not start a book club? Why not go to dinner by yourself? Why not? Why not? What is your why not that you're going to use this mantra on this weekend. I want to know. Please share your wins with me. I love sharing them in. Send your questions into the Be It Pod, we answer them on the recap episodes. Share our interviews or our recap episodes, or this with a friend who needs it, needs inspiration. Now also, by the way, I've got to figure out how to go to Japan, because I do want to go to the dementia cafe. I mean, I looked at the menu. I can't have anything on it, but the tea. And I really love tea, but, you know, they probably won't even bring it to me anyway, so it doesn't really matter. I just want to experience what this cafe, the Cafe of Mistaken Orders. Like, how perfectly imperfect is that? Beautiful. All right, loves, take care of yourself out there. Okay? You are the only person who could do it to do the way that you do it. You're it. And you're probably working yourself really, really hard. So what breaks can you take? What things can you do to support yourself? Yeah, and ask yourself, why not? All right, until next time loves, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 6:51  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It 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 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 0:46  Hello, Be It babe. Hello, welcome to the FYF. Welcome to the Fuck Yeah Friday where we celebrate wins you had, wins you might have had, a mantra, we celebrate someone who's inspired us. So I came across this article about how Elon Musk said that the donations, the hundreds of millions of dollars that MacKenzie Scott, I hate this part, they say like Jeff Bezos' ex-wife. So MacKenzie Scott is her own person, and she has lots of money, and she has been donating hundreds of millions of dollars a year to charities that are devoted to women services and women's health. And he said that that hundreds of millions of dollars is destroying Western civilization. That's literally his quote. And her response was that she doubled her donations. And I just love that. I love that. I freaking love that she did that. I hate that she is getting attacked for the generosity that she has because, holy frickin molly, are we kidding? What are we doing here? Come on. I love that that was her clap back. And I think more and more, those of us who come across someone who's just trying to tear you down because you make them look bad, clap back in a really elegant freaking way like that. We should call that a MacKenzie Scott. So anyways, MacKenzie Scott, love you, obsessed with you. Someday I want to meet you, because I would love to learn your ways, but also you are inspiring me, and you just put a smile on my face on a really busy day. And I just so appreciate you for that. Lesley Logan 2:18  All right, now we do one of your wins. And this one is from Christine Bowen. She hasn't been an Agency member for many, many years, and she lives in Ireland, and she here's how it goes. So a lovely new client started with me this morning and just purchased a five-pack. He's had a lot to deal with the last year with multiple surgeries related to cancer. So he sent this message to me, and this is why I teach. So this is from him. Thank you for this morning sessions. It exceeded my expectations and gives me a real sense of excitement that physically things are going to improve myself in the not-too-distant future. So Christine goes on to say it makes the challenges of running your small business worthwhile when teaching people Pilates can help people feel that there is hope and they can help themselves to feel good in their body and get out of pain. Right, Christine, that is beautiful. What a great way to like start your day, but also what a wonderful human that you guys get to do this life together. It's so amazing what you teach him, but also that energy that's gonna come back to you. I mean, it's just so wonderful. So thank you for sharing that win, because it's your win, it's his win. We all get to win because of it. Lesley Logan 3:22  All right, a win of mine. So I'm recording this obviously from the past, from the very past before we went on tour. So one of the wins that I have had this week, just back in the past, is we are way behind on recording because I had a cough and I thought I should (inaudible) because, like, maybe I'll just push through and we'll just, like, stop recording whenever I cough. That just was not an option. Even on, like, in the beginning of the week, I couldn't get a sentence out without coughing, so we just bumped everything. And as I sit here with behind on filming a bunch of things for our YouTube channel, I decided I was like, I can't even stress about it, because, to be honest, what is the most important thing that has to get done this week, this week, this instant, what has to get done? Okay, this is what has to get done. If that gets done, yes, it is important for how our business goes, and how our YouTube video's released, and all those different things. But when it comes to priority number one, two and three, is it this? And to be honest, no, making sure people are, get all their stuff for the tour, making sure that the van is packed with everything that is, making sure that I am healthy to be on this tour is the best thing that I could do. Those are the top three priorities. And you can't have more than three because then you don't even know how to take actions. So, hopefully, there'll be YouTube videos for you all in January and February. And if there's not, it's not personal. It's not personal at all. I got a cold, and we had to make some changes and make some adjustments. And here's what I will tell you, that I like to do whenever something comes up that I can't control, and it causes something negative, in air quotes, to happen. I go, okay, how could we prevent this in the future? So in the future, I can't turn back time and not get this cough, right? So what could we have done? Well, honestly, maybe we should have actually been recording January and February's content in October and November, and not end of November. So what does that mean? It means my team will have to have the stuff ready for me to record early, so they'll have to work a little earlier on things. So how does that look? Well, that means making those adjustments today, because they're already working on the two months after that. So now they're going to have to start like not doubling up on their work, but like making some tweaks that they're even a little bit more in advance. And so what used to be good enough with two months in advance is no longer good enough. I think we have to be more like three months in advance and or on the end of Q2, early Q3, recording for Q1 already, so that we don't have this rush at the end. Now, some things can't be helped. We cannot batch more podcasts than we do, like we can't do that. So I recognize that this rule won't affect everything, but it can affect some things. And so I share that with you, because if you are sitting here listening to this, behind on stuff already and going, how am I already behind? It's the beginning of the year. It's only the first Friday of February. Stop, pause, get that thought out of your head. Ask yourself, what would I need to do so that I wouldn't be so rushed that I'm having this issue right now? Right? So that's the changes that I made, and I'm really proud of that, and I'm proud, I'm just like, I'm not gonna get mad about it. I'm not being harsh on myself. I'm not even gonna waste another minute thinking about, oh, maybe I should have done it on Saturday instead of doing x, y, z. No. No. Other things had to get done. And so this will get done. And obviously running a business can't be on like the whims of my cough, but there are things we can do to plan in advance so that there can be time if someone gets sick, and that is the most important thing. Lesley Logan 7:01  So y'all, I hope that this little, little bit of like, badassery, amazing win and musings on how to do your schedule so you're not rushing around if you have a cough, helps you with this Friday. Now, I must leave you with a mantra, how about that? Okay, well, get this wow, I just picked this one up. I did not plan this one in advance. And it says there is always a way. There is always a way. So at the time that I'm recording this, maybe we figured out a way to record those episodes, I don't know. But guess what? We're not going to stress about it, we're not gonna be mad at ourselves, because there is always a way. If there's something you want in this world, there's always a way. Always a way. And if you can just remind yourself of that, there's always a way, there's always a way, there's always a way. I bet you, I bet you my love that that way will reveal itself, and it might come from a place that you weren't even thinking about. So thank you so much. You are amazing. You are wonderful. You being a listener. Please share this with a friend who needs it, and until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 8:01  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

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 0:49  Hello, Be I babe. We made it. We made it to the end of January. You did it. You're in. You're one month in. And if that makes you freak out, you should probably listen to this episode more often. You should listen to Be It Pod more often. I am calling in more ease in my year. I'm really, truly trying to do that. I am calling in more joy and also not letting things outside of my control steal my joy. I mean, good fucking look up for me. But that is what I'm doing, one of the things that I want in this year. And we started a new segment around here in the FYF where we celebrate some women who've just inspired the fuck out of me, and I hope they inspire you, because I think we need a little more of that. So Michele Kang pledges historic $30 million to US Soccer for women and girls soccer programs. The investment from Kang will scale competitive opportunities for youth players, expand and improve talent identification, and fuel professional development for women players, coaches and referees. You guys, this is so cool. This woman donated $30 million and it's for women and girls soccer programs. Because sometimes we're so focused on the professionals, and we're like, they're not making enough. We're not paying women equal. And you know what? If we can focus more, we should do all of that, and someone will do that. But we can also as a group, or as listeners, or as people who love something or have a passion for them, like, how can I support the youth in that? How can I create foundations so that there's something to stand on? So when we get, we should have more equal pay, but as we have that, we have people coming in to continue to take those spaces and enjoy the fruits of that labor. So way to go, Michele. So Kang's $30 million donation over the next five years is the largest philanthropic investment in U.S. soccer's women's and girls programs, and the most generous donation ever made to U.S. Soccer by a woman. Brilliant. Way to go, Michele. So cool as there's a lot of women out there who do some amazing donations, and there is proof that when we make money, the communities that they live in benefit. When women make money, they actually put it back into the communities more than men. And to the few good men who are listening, this is not like a nag on you, but it's just like, what studies show, okay? So don't come at me, like, I do a ton of stuff. I'm sure you do. Thank you. Keep doing it. And maybe get your friends to do it too, you know. So, thank you, Michele. I don't even play soccer. I don't even watch soccer, but that got me super excited. Do you see how you can see wins in things that have nothing to do with you, they affect you in zero way. Lesley Logan 3:10  Okay, so Stacey Extence is one of our Agency members, and she said one of her wins is having a great conversation on the phone with Kim Young, another member, today, comparing notes and discussing our Pilates pass. We also agreed to meet regularly. moving forward. Doing contract work for the studio I rent from. We are moving I'm in transition phase until 2025 and could use the income and they want to help with marketing things. I got a part time job, 20 hours a week that offers me a set schedule, great for building my Pilates business more and health insurance. Love it. Made a connection with a breast cancer nonprofit offering them a sample class to their team, so that they will encourage folks to come to see me for lessons. I will also fundraise for them each fall. I had melanoma removed from my knee recently, was told that they got all of it, so I am cancer-free. Stacey, your wins are so cool. And I just want to highlight something. A lot of times people think that they have to make their main thing the main thing right away, and it is okay you guys to take a beat and get like a part time job, make sure that the hours work with when you don't want to be teaching, you don't want to be doing something that you're trying to build, so that you can have just some consistent income and, for Stacey, health insurance so that when she's not doing that, she could focus on building her business. And so when her business can't support her, then she could let go of that. I think sometimes we put a lot of pressure on things to happen sooner than they're ready, and then we freak out, and then we make decisions that are in freak out. No one benefits from that. And you end up making decisions that actually won't affect you in a kind way. It just happens that way. Lesley Logan 4:37  All right. So then we have our wonderful Melissa Nagai from Canada. I had a retired Pilates teacher contact me this week to start lessons. He says that he practices daily, but he hadn't had his own teacher for a few years. I'm excited to meet him. I'm restructuring my teacher training. I'm happy with the work I've got done on this. My apprentice is slowly teaching more and more. She's doing great. We're going to start having her work with a couple private clients. Way to go. Melissa, I love this win because you have, a long time ago, needed to get some teachers in your studio. Your studio is so busy and it's not easy to build someone up for your clients to enjoy, and you have done that even while being busy, and the reputation that you've put out into this world is getting out there because now a teacher wants to work with you, and you are truly someone, I hope you're listening, who is so consistent, just consistently work on things, and that is why you have these amazing wins. And I love that you celebrate them when they're small. We're not waiting for the apprentice to be done with all of her hours before we celebrate how great she's doing. So thank you so much for letting us have that. Lesley Logan 5:41  Okay, a win of mine. We haven't been home quite a month, and we're gonna be leaving soon, but I started journaling. Found another journal. I love to do a journal, and I got away from my morning pages for a little bit. I do them different times. I started using Mont affirmation cards and pulling them to journal towards. But I got this new journal for this year, and it's really fun, because it lets me explore the moon and where it's at in the day that I'm journaling, and so I can really, truly understand, like, what is happening outside of my control that could make me feeling the way that I'm feeling, not that the moon is, like making me an angry person or anything like that, but my moon is cancer, and cancer is the moon, so I'm affected by it a lot, and I love to look at it. I think it's so fun. And I have had this desire to have more ease. And for years, I thought, what would it be like if I tried to make my work and my goals align with when the moon is getting bigger and when the moon is getting smaller, and what would that be like? And I did that years ago with my cycle. And so I'm just like, my win is that I've just been journaling in this journal and noticing the moon and where it's at and what's going on with the stars, and just going, okay, not gonna wait to do things, but I'm also not gonna push so hard either. There's a difference between pushing and being pulled. And there's an energy out there that wants to support me in everything I wanna do, and there's an energy that wants to support you in everything you wanna do. And sometimes we actually are trying to shove things through, when, really, if we just took a beat, someone would come right up and pick it up and take it for you. So my win is this new journal. I've been loving it. I've done it for 31 days. Really proud of myself, really loving it. Do you have a journal you love? I would love to hear it. And if you do journal every day, you should be celebrating that win, because not everyone does. A lots of people want to and you are doing something a lot of people want to do, meanwhile not giving yourself credit for doing something that's not easy. So I want to hear you celebrate your journaling. I want to hear all of that. Lesley Logan 7:31  All right, let's pull out a mantra affirmation. This one says don't judge your beginnings harshly. Don't judge your beginnings harshly. Don't judge your beginnings harshly. Lesley Logan 7:44  You are amazing my loves. Thank you so much for listening to this podcast. I hope these wins inspire you. Notice how this whole entire month not a single one of mine has been taking a lot of action on anything, and that is because we don't need to wait to celebrate the things we did. We can actually talk about and focus on what we did do, which might have been just actually getting your dreams on a calendar. So thank you, and until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 8:08  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It 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 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 0:48  Hello, Be It babe. It's my birthday weekend. Thank you for listening to this podcast. It's a birthday gift to me. And if you were like, oh my God, I didn't get her anything. You know what you can do? You can leave me a review. You can show this to a friend. You can send a win in to The Be It Pod. We can shout it out. You can just say, hey, my favorite episode was x. I love all that. I want to hear that. Want to celebrate it with you. Lesley Logan 1:08  All right, so we're going to celebrate someone who inspired me this week on the interwebs. This girl is so freaking cute. This is from F1 Academy. Freya Lally makes history as the first female driver to reach the Grand Finals, securing a top 10 spot in the British Indoor Karting Championship. Let me just tell you that Freya Lally looks like she's 10 years old and she might be. It says, "How do we fuel the future of women in motorsports? It starts at events like the British Indoor Karting Championship (BIKC), the largest single motorsport competition in the world, with over 5,300 participants across categories. This year, Freya Lally made history as the only female driver ever to reach the Grand Finals, securing a top 10 finish in the Cadets and earning a fully funded Club100 championship seat, the next step on the UK karting ladder.  Freya's achievement is a testament to the growing presence of women in motorsports, with female participation in the BIKC surging 400%. In our shared mission to accelerate gender equality, The Female Quotient and F1 Academy are sparking bold conversations and taking action. Let's come together to challenge the status quo and ignite change, on and off the track." This is so cool that I wish they had said how old she is. I swear to God, I'm not lying. She looks like she's 10 years old, and I freaking love it. You guys, it takes time to make some changes. And if you are sitting here listening to this podcast and being it till you see it, and you're like, there needs to be representation here. This needs to exist. I've got to create this thing because it needs to exist. Just know that absolutely you should do it. And it takes time. And something else that I really love is we're highlighting this girl and she's not necessarily the winner. She was just in the finals. And I think I'm gonna take back my (inaudible). She's in the finals. So often, if the person's not first place, we're like, whatever. It didn't change anything. No, it changes things when someone who's not usually in the top is in the top, and we take time to celebrate that. We take time to go, oh my God, it is possible for me to make change, for me to do something different. If you're a parent for your kid to be the first of 100 to do something. All these things are really, really, really awesome and possible. And you know, we got to celebrate what did happen. That's why this episode even exists. What did you do? Right? Lesley Logan 3:14  So speaking of what you did, here we go. Let's shout out some of our FYF people of the week. Kimberly Craig is an Agency member at one of my OG eLevate grads, and I just am obsessed with her. Happy FYF, it's my 50th birthday on Tuesday, and my sister and bestie made the day phenomenal. I felt so loved and celebrated the entire day. My sister and I got matching tattoos, and they are the epitome of us and our relationship. Cute, fun, silly and sentimental. My other tattoos are hidden, so it's out of my comfort zone to get it on my hand, but I love it, and it makes me smile every time I look at it. When we clasp our hands together, they're hugging. I don't have the pic for you for this. But I did see it and it's really cute. Little tattoos are hugging. I just did my first live virtual workout of my 50 Days of Pilates sessions this summer. In honor of my milestone birthday, I'm celebrating that with the people I have. Each live workout is making more than my magic number, which is awesome because I only charged $50 for it. I had a few people join live, including a new person who said she had no idea what Pilates was, but loved it. It was so much fun. This weekend, my son is racing his first pro motocross race, and so I'm going to cheer him on and celebrate. It's been a long road getting there. He's been running for 17 years, and was the last kid in every race for about 11 of those years. If that's not a testament to baby steps and perseverance, I don't know what is. It's a great reminder that just because it doesn't look like things are happening doesn't mean they aren't changing massively. So true for life, business and your Pilates practice, Holy freaking molly. I just want to say, you guys, I read this when, months ago, when it came in. We have, obviously, we have a few. We try to get a couple every week. So I don't ever want to skip over any so I want to get them to you. But sometimes they're like, and I did not realize that I picked the go-kart girl and the same guy as the motocross kid. But check these people out. Perseverance, yes, oh my gosh. Kim Craig, your wins are always fabulous and I would just love celebrating you and happy 50th birthday. On my birthday weekend. I know, we don't have the same birthday, but we're celebrating together now. Lesley Logan 5:01  Okay. Tania Tsiora, she is an Agency, ex Agency member, and I just loved working with her. She says hello, several new clients who started this week compared to last year's. Let's see how it goes and who stays the course. In half an hour, we have, in the studio, the first teachers practice, teachers from other studios. We will be four. I'm so excited, because yesterday, one more registered for the retreat next month in Greece. We have two more spots available. Also my win for this week, it's how grateful I am to celebrate one year in Agency with you, Lesley, Brad, Kirsten, Maya, Roxy, and all of you. And how much has this helped and guided me, for both myself and the studio to grow. You know, Tania, I love that you were able to take a moment to compare yourself to yourself and go wow, this week, this week, you got more new people than it did a year ago. In a week. These are the things we have to do, especially when working towards something, because we don't realize how we are always going up. It is always growing. It's just that sometimes you go down to go up, down to go up, down to go up, but you're going up. It's like the stock market, even when it crashes, it goes back higher, right? Like it just does that. So, at any rate, thank you ladies for sharing those business wins, those personal wins, the moments in between. Like we're not waiting for perfection before we celebrate around here. No, we are not. That is the 2025 thing. We do not wait until it's over to celebrate the win. Lesley Logan 6:18  So my win, I mean, I was born this weekend. No, my win is as I literally turned 42 this weekend, don't feel older. I feel more energized. I feel more supported. I feel calmer in doing less. I feel proud of doing less. And when people go I know you're so busy, I literally say I'm not that busy. It just looks that way. What do you need? And if I can't do it, I'm like, great, here's who you need to call instead. My win is that I hope that I am the things that I've heard women who, when they turn 50 and 60, say that they no longer do because now they're 50 and 60 and they're living their best decade. I have listened ladies, and I have learned. I have observed, and I'm doing it at 42 because why wait? So my win is I listened to my elders. I made those changes now. And truthfully, I refuse to buy into the I'm getting older thing, meaning that, like time is short on this earth, and I need to rush. I don't need to rush on anything. I get to sit here with you for a couple more seconds as we read the mantra for this week. Lesley Logan 7:24  So this is back from that CHANI Deck. I release what keeps me sheltered from life. I create space for what encourages my growth. I rejoice in the ways that life emboldens my best to come forth always. I don't know why. Lately, all the mantras have been like three sentences, but they happen. So here we go. I release what keeps me sheltered from life. You could just stop right there, like that could be maybe that's the mantra you need. I create space where it encourages my growth. Create space. You guys, just because it's January doesn't mean you have to set goals yet you'd be actually just creating space. I rejoice in the ways that life emboldens my best to come forth always. I'm gonna end with that one. One more time, I rejoice in the ways that life emboldens my best to come forth. Always, you guys, I'm rejoicing you. You're amazing. And please share this with a friend who needs to hear wins and inspiration that things are going well somewhere for someone, which means that it can happen to them. This is not the Pi of support. This is the infinity symbol. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 8:30  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It 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 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 0:48  Hello, loves. Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast on a Friday. That means it's Fuck Yeah Friday and it's time to celebrate some wins. And I'm gonna be really honest, we are re-recording this. So I recorded a bunch of stuff before we left on tour, and then this one didn't work, so I am kind of winging it a little bit, and I wanted to repeat some of the stuff that I know I can repeat because I've saved it, and then I actually have to change some things, because now we're in real time with this. So first of all, you, let's be real, it can be really hard to be like, fuck yeah, it's Friday when it feels like everyday there's some more devastating news. Like, on the time that I'm recording this, Brad and I have watched all the videos, and new videos of what is going on in Los Angeles, the place we called home for 14 years, the place our friends still call home, and it's hard, right? So if you, how, like, how do you have a win when, like, you are looking at such devastation. And that comes after we were in New Orleans two days after the terrorist attack, and we live here in Las Vegas, where there was an incident, and it's like, it can just be really hard. So I just want to say, like, I never want FYF to be glib and like, not taking into account that, like, shit is happening, right? I also want to be real and say like, if you're not going through the -ish, then you must be doing things to make yourself strong, energized, generous, like you had, and only way to be generous is to have an abundance of energy, stamina, money, whatever, so that when devastation happens, you can support others without it affecting you in a way that's negative. We had someone come in into an agency group a while back to my first assistant, talking about how to advocate and how to be an advocate. And something that she said, and something that, like, has always stuck with me, is like, you can only advocate, like the, if you look at a Venn diagram, like what someone needs is one circle, what you can do is the other circle. And so, like, the overlap is the advocacy, right? And it's never going to be a circle on top of a circle. It's going to be, sometimes it's going to be a sliver, because you're going through your shit, and sometimes it might be like, like a crescent moon, and sometimes it might be half. But what I can say is, like, if you have the energy, strength, stamina, if you have invested in yourself and in your dreams and in your stuff, you can then have things to give to others when they're in need. It is really nice that I have some time in my schedule, because I created that a year ago, that as information about support comes up, I can share that, right? I have dedicated to have a following that I love and that I care for, and that can look to me for resources, and I can do that. And so anyways, I say all this because sometimes we're like, how, we can feel helpless. And so how can there be a win when it just feels so helpless? And sometimes there isn't anything we can do. And sometimes it's just sitting there and texting friends, like, I'm there for you. And sometimes it is offering up a room. I had a friend offer up a room, and she said, we have dogs, and if your dogs are friendly, you can come and so like, just know that, like, not everything has to be you giving up time or money or place because you might not have it, and sometimes it can just be resources. But most importantly, you can't do anything for anyone else who's going through shit if you haven't taken care of you. So anyways, to my LA people, my people who have people in LA who are going through something right now, who have your friends or your family members or friends of friends have lost everything. It can just feel heavy. And how do you start a year? How do you take action when it just feels like, what's the point? And to that, I say we gotta enter the year slowly, and we gotta figure out, like, what is it that we want more than anything and then truly stick to the values that we have when it comes to making decisions. And it's not going to be easy. No, it never has been though, never has been. It's just that, you know, some of these things haven't felt like they've come so on top of the other things, and they are feeling like that right now. And I don't, I don't have a crystal ball. I can just say that, like, what I focus on first is taking a walk every day, because walks really calm the nervous system, and I really get in touch with myself on what I need. And if I need a break, I take a break. And if I have energy to do more, I'm doing more. And it can be really easy if you were raised to be a people-pleaser or to like give more of yourself than others, to feel like you're being selfish, right, when you are taking time for you. But you know what? It's not selfish because you aren't going to be the version you want to be to others if you don't, just won't. Lesley Logan 5:20  So anyways, that was a long intro. I hope it makes you think. On another win, I'll talk about something else that I'm super excited about, but I'm supposed to be remaking this one. So okay, I'm going to tell you something that inspired me from the internet, because sometimes that can be accessible. But this one is from the Female Quotient Instagram, and it said, "We're not crying. You're crying." When, I'm going to say her name incorrectly, I hope I say it as close as possible. Berru Merve Kul, a visually impaired 22-year-old woman, walked onto the stage during her graduation ceremony, the staff at the university also invited her mother, Havva. Havva was presented with an honorary degree from the University of Sakarya in Turkey for reading her daughter's lecture notes to her during her four-year course in law. She helped her with homework as well, as the university didn't have the resources to help visually impaired students. Without Havva's perseverance, her daughter's dream of becoming a lawyer may not have been realized. Bravo!" So this mother helped her daughter, who's blind, get a law degree, which is her dream, and so that mother got an honorary law degree. And you know what? Here's the deal, that really does, we can go, why didn't that school have visual, like, impairments resources? Not everyone has these things yet. Not everyone has realized that. Not everyone has done that. And so that does suck, but we can actually focus on the win in it. And that's what the point of FYFs are, is like the what's the win in this? And the win in this is what a cool thing that mom could do to support her daughter, and how cool that Turkey now has a visually impaired lawyer who can actually make change, right, who can actually affect change? I think that's really cool. So that really inspired me. Lesley Logan 6:55  All right, so let me hit you up with the wins of yours that you sent in. Here we go. Christine Eschen, she's an Agency member and eLevate grad. She said celebrating my 27th wedding anniversary with my soulmate and husband today at our third annual blues party, and it was the most successful one to date. Had a client late canceled this week, and I held my boundaries, charged her and enjoyed an extra hour to myself. And I'm continually blessed by a local day spa that keeps my flyer up in front of a cookie jar for everyone to submit their info for a drawing for a private and I keep all the names for my email list. Got together this week via Zoom with my Agency family members, Heather and Kim Young and yeah. So anyways, I love that. I love look at all those wins in there. How freaking cool. Way to go, Christine, and way to just be consistent and keep showing up. And congratulations on your anniversary. Lesley Logan 7:41  This next one is from Sonia Ahmed. She's an eLevate grad and an Agency member, and she wrote I got a lot ticked off, to prep me for my new biz and a new country tax biz number, finalized my logo and new business name, registered my new business name, purchased a new URL for a new biz name. Lots of other little bits, like working on Canva. It feels so good to get some focus back. I still have some way to go, and many other admin tasks, but these ones were the big ones that needed doing first before I could move on to other tasks. So, way to go, Sonia, for taking off the non-sexy stuff, and thank you for celebrating the non-sexy stuff with us so we could celebrate, like, yes, you guys, it is a win to, like, do the logistics in the business. It's not the thing that's sexy, it's not the thing that goes viral on Instagram, but it is the thing that is important in your business. Lesley Logan 8:24  All right, so my win is, you guys, I drove five and a half hours at night and didn't freak out. I share that with you because I don't like to drive, and I get really stressed out. I have to get, like, a really big tunnel vision. I have a really hard time. But we, at the last day of our tour stop, Brad and I bought a car, and it's a car that I've wanted for a really long time. It is a car. It's like a dream car for me, and it's not a new car. It's a new-to-me car, it's new-to-us car, and we call her the OG and we have not had a car since 2018 and we have been kind of just waiting. So I don't, anyways, I don't have a car to, like, go, just to go get coffee, and I just take the OPC huge van to go get coffee, which means it has to have open air parking, right? All the different things. So it's not actually really easy. And then sometimes when Brad and I both need to go somewhere, like, I'm borrowing my dad's car as a 41-year-old. So at any rate, we got a car, and I was just like, let's just ship it. Like, you know, let's just ship it because it's 100 bucks in gas, it's $500 to ship, like, and also because I didn't want to drive at night by myself. But guess what? We decided to do it because one, I was so excited to see her, she's so beautiful. Second, we wanted to get her home, we have things to do. We have a reason we need a car. So I drove her. Brad drove the van. And actually, you know what? To pass the time, I just talked with my husband on the phone and our, his friends, like, through the whole drive. And so I'm calling it a win, because normally that would stress me out. I like, definitely, I will say what set me up to have a win is to have a plan of what to do in the car so that I could, like, not be distracted, because it's new. You know, when you drive a new car, you're like, where are the buttons? Second, you know, I had lean on people. My husband knows I struggled driving at night, and he made sure he was in front of me the whole time and that he, like, he was the one calling friends, so I could just answer with my little click of my air pod. And so it's a win, because I lean on people and accepted like there's just some things about me that are never gonna be amazing. I'm never gonna be an amazing nighttime driver. But I drove five hours at night. We made it home, and I washed my hair, and that's the second win. Way to go. I'm patting myself on the back. Lesley Logan 10:25  So the next thing that we do in these, FYFs, if you're new to these, is, after we celebrate your wins and a win of mine, we draw an affirmation. So this is from a card deck that my photographer, Monica Linda got me like, years ago. And this, I don't even know the deck name, so I can't even give it to you. It says gratitude changes everything. Gratitude changes everything. It certainly does. You know what my therapist said to me one time? She said, gratitude and judgment can't live in the same space. They don't hold the same energy. And so if you are feeling judgmental about yourself, start naming things you're grateful for, and you can change that tune right around. So gratitude changes everything. Lesley Logan 11:01  I love you guys so freaking much. I'm really excited for what this podcast has to offer this year. I'm really excited for the guests you're gonna hear, some guests I'm bringing back. And please keep leaving reviews. Please keep sharing this podcast with a friend.

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 0:48  Hello. Be It babe. Welcome back to another Friday. Oh my God, we're already in the second Friday of this year. And you know what I'm gonna say? I'm gonna say what everyone's saying, the year is flying by. Thank God. You know what? Whether it's good or it's bad, sometimes it's good that we're just flying through it, as long as you're taking time for yourself. And I will say you should celebrate listening to this episode as a win, because this episode is the time where we celebrate people's wins. When we celebrate people's wins, we are being present. We are taking time to hold space for the work and effort that other people have done, including ourselves. Because sometimes you'll hear your own FYF, and it's inspiring to hear what people are doing, which is why we added a new segment in because I want to just shout out like women who've inspired me on the internet, including yourself. It could be you one day, it could be you, who knows. So don't worry, these will stay short, but this one is 23-year-old Adriana Brownlee becomes the youngest woman to scale the world's 14 highest peaks. So we've actually interviewed the first woman to ever scale this top seven K2s. But this woman scaled the 14 highest peak, which is like not even one per continent. It probably could be multiple in a continent. So Adriana Brownlee quit university and decided to climb mountains instead, big mountains. And she has ticked off the boxes as in the world's tallest mountains. The 23-year-old eventually became the youngest woman to climb the world's 14 highest peaks. Let this be a reminder, all paths are different. Choose yours, trust it and work hard. Yes, yes, I'm into that. Yes, I love that so much. I mean, my goodness, university is great for people it's great for. And whatever you are out there doing on this earth, whatever you're trying to educate yourself for, whatever you're working on, is great. We all get to have different paths. And we can be inspired by others. And sometimes you can be so inspired you're like, why that sounds cool. I want to do that. And if Adriana does that for you, fabulous. And if not, freak, that's so cool. 23 years old, and she did that. I mean, may we all do something that challenges us in a great way. And if school isn't challenging for you, you can do something else. Lesley Logan 2:45  All right, so today's win of yours, this one I'm really excited about. We haven't heard from this person in a bit, which you'll hear why, and I want you to see yourself in this win, because I know that many of you listening are dealing with things at home that we know nothing about, and they're not taking a few days, they could be taking a few years. So Joanne Sutton, she's an Agency member for many years. She lives in Australia, and she said, for the past three and a half years, I've been caring for my mom, who has serious health issues. This year, she has been hospitalized five times in seven months, and her last day was seven weeks when I visited her twice daily and took her food. After an amazing call with LL, I'm celebrating what I have still been able to achieve in my business during this very stressful and exhausting time, including being woken up multiple times during the night. If you have a lot going on in your life, hopefully you can see what is still possible. Many times, I wanted to give up, but I've still managed to write a fortnightly blog post and newsletter, keep teaching my one-on-one clients virtually via Skype. And last week, I taught 29 clients, the most I've ever taught for many, many months, had the second largest quarter financially in July, August and September, since I started teaching virtually four and a half years ago, and my mom was in the hospital during this quarter. Wrote a book about becoming pain-free through Pilates that launched on Amazon in February of this year and became a bestseller. Filmed two videos per month for my on demand library. I'm so grateful to be an agency member. I know I couldn't have continued to all of this without the support of LL, Brad and the Agency team. Joanne, you have freaking done a lot. And yes, she has a bestselling book, and it's really, really amazing. You should check her out. It's hard when things are going on that are outside of your thing that you're working on, you're like, come on, I'm working on this thing over here. And then we can feel bad about feeling resentful, and we can feel exhausted and we can wonder, but you know what, what's kind of crazy is when you're really busy and you have goals, you still manage to get things done. You just don't always have a time to celebrate it. So I just want to say, Joanne, thank you for taking time to celebrate with us so that we can all go, Oh my God. I have had some crappy shit going on the last seven months, and I still managed to do that. That's what this episode is for. That's what it's for. So thank you. Lesley Logan 4:45  All right, quick win of mine, I have been home for not even 24 hours by the time that this actually releases, maybe just 24 hours, and I'm so proud. The first thing I'm doing is getting a Pilates session in. I did that today. Getting my hair done. Yes, a win can be just self-care. It can actually just be showing up, because, you know what? I have a million things to do, so much to catch up on. I could tell you, when I'm on tour, I can barely keep up with a lot of the work that I normally do. I can only basically do the promo of the tour, teach the tour, and then sleep and hopefully get my workout in right. There's not a lot I could do outside of that, because it's just really hard to take calls. There's no signal. Sometimes internet doesn't work. Everything takes a little longer than you want, and so when I come back, I could literally go through the 17 million packages that showed up while we were gone, but we're not instead, I did my Pilates session, getting my hair done. Win, win, win. That's me. So you guys, it is my birthday month. I will have more wins coming up as I celebrate 42 but we're not there yet. Lesley Logan 5:44  So today I'm going to end this with your affirmation, keep moving forward. Keep moving forward. I don't know where this deck is. This one was gifted to me by Monica Linda, one of my dearest friends, and it's just keep moving forward. So, thank you all so much. You know what to do until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 6:06  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

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.Hello, Be It babe. Welcome to a new year, our first FYF of the year. And it's only a few days into this year, and you might be like, oh my gosh, I have to have the FYF already. Do not pressure yourself to make something grandiose. Did you get up? Did you brush your teeth? Did you look at the sunshine like those are all things that you can celebrate, because it's hard out there. Every day, you're gonna have an emotional roller coaster of things, and so it's so important. That's why this episode exists. It's Fuck Yeah Friday. It exists to celebrate what you did do. That's what it's here for. That's what's here to remind you. And I'm adding a tiny segment to this, I promise. I'll still keep these episodes nice and quick. You can hear my wins. That's true. I also just want to highlight like people who've inspired the fuck out of me, like women, specifically, who've inspired me, who may or may not be on this podcast, who knows, maybe they'll find out that I've shouted them out. So we're gonna kick off our year with someone who I learned about from an Instagram account called Female Quotient. Her name is Margret Chola, an 85 year old grandmother from a rural village in Zambia has become an icon of reinvention and intergenerational collaboration. With the support of her granddaughter, Diana Kalezhi (Dee), a New York City based stylist Margret, has captured the world's attention. Their bond and collaboration is a reflection of the confidence, creativity, and courage it takes to embrace individuality. Dee shared the shoot was impromptu and very low stakes, as these images were simply meant to live on my Instagram page. Little did she know that those posts would leave an impact on the way we view beauty and self-expression at any age. It's a reminder that no matter where you start, your story can ripple far beyond your expectations. So I love this. If you're watching on YouTube, you'll have to click the Instagram link, but I'll just show you like, look at Margret, freaking gorgeous woman. So it's this 85 year old grandma from Zambia, and she is wearing every color with gloves and fabulous pineapple crystal glasses, and she's just got the smile on her face gorgeous bracelet, like you just want to have it. And then if you keep going, she's got this hat that I dream to have. Maybe someday it won't even fit in the car, but my gosh, it's stunning with her glasses and her shoes, like and her shoes, oh my gosh, I love this, because it's an introgen, like granddaughter and grandmother created this thing, and they had low expectations, and it turned out that it was like inspiring women everywhere. And honestly, like, the pictures keep going. And I just want to now meet Margret, and I'm so inspired by her. If you're hearing this today going, why the heck am I learning about Margret? Go click the link, because you may need to be inspired. Doesn't matter what your age is, doesn't matter what your body looks like. You can put together some fabulous things that that have a ripple effect, as they said, beyond where you live. You can inspire people. She has inspired me. I think I'm gonna go get dressed up for today, literally, holy moly, I'm gonna step it up a notch because of this. So that is our new segment, shouting out someone who inspired me, who caught my attention, and I love that she's with her granddaughter, Dee, and I love that they're affecting people around the world. You could be doing that too. And now let's talk about you. Let's share the wins that you have. So here we go. First up, we have Heather Ingram. She is an eLevate grad, an Agency member. She's done an OPC workshop for us. I absolutely love this woman, and she wrote fab webinar with Kareen Walsh today on becoming a magnet for money. Sign me up for that. Also just finished a fantastic session with my favorite private client, who does her homework three times a week, and the progress in her Pilates practice is effing inspiring. As I watched her move through her flow today, I actually had a proud moment when I caught my own reflection in the mirror, made eye contact with myself and silently said to myself, you did this for her. You helped her get here. You're pretty effing great. You are. I always in my sessions with a standing roll down arm circle and then reach around to pat themselves on their back for their energy effort. Great session. Give themselves some love. And today was the first time I gave love to myself for what I'm doing for my clients. Yes, tooting my horn. Heather, thank you for inspiring us all to toot our own horns. We should all do it more often. How freaking cool is that I love that you actually saw yourself and like actually had that moment with yourself, because it's so true. Yes, she's doing her homework, but you managed to inspire her to do that. You chose these exercises for her. You set these things up so that she could have the success that she's having. So way to go, girl. It's like another collaboration. This is another collaboration. Okay? Dana Karen, who's an Agency member, she wrote, wow, my heart is so incredibly full right now. I am on day two of seven-day challenge I'm running for getting active and chronic pain called meant to move after my book. I've been busting my ass for the past four weeks or so leading up to this challenge with IG lives and new freebies and tons of promos, it was so exhausted by the time it even started. I was disappointed at first to just get four items, because I'm making, like, $2 an hour, but I have to say that things are going so well. So far, I just got off two back to back coaching calls with people telling me how grateful they are for the safe space that the challenge created and how happy they feel to have guidance and support to get going. The second client said to me, the moving part is just a bonus. What I needed was a safe container to put my grief and feelings about movement and where it was okay to be starting from scratch, and you gave me that. I mean that sentiment right there is exactly why I wrote the book, why I created my first paid program in 2022, and why I made this challenge. I've been trying to figure out the correct formula for years without success, and I feel like I'm finally hitting on something that might actually work if I can figure out how to find my people. I just feel so fulfilled knowing that this is working for someone, and it made my whole month. Dana, way to go, babe, way to go. You know, I think we all look at people and maybe even look at this podcast, and you go, oh my God, she must have had, like all the listeners, as soon as she hit play, whatever, whatever you hit to upload the episode. I don't know what my team does. No, you have to work for it. And yes, there are sometimes moments where these flash in the pan like everything aligns, and it works out really, really well. But typically it doesn't work like that. Typically those stars, they die fast. What really is the truth is that every single person out there that you are seeing share their gifts and change people's lives have been doing it like a duck on the water, just like looking so smooth, but underneath they're just like, kicking their feet, kicking, kick, kick, kicking, you know, just like, so, so much. So I just so appreciate you sharing with us the hard work that you went through. DK, and then also that you're feeling so fulfilled. And so I'm in day two. The money will come. It just will. But you're changing people's lives, and you're learning about what they need to hear from you. So you can keep doing that. And congrats on your amazing book. All right, a quick win of mine. So we are not even done with this tour. I'm still on it. I'm still on it, and what I'm gonna say is, my win is that I'm having the best time. I really am. I'm so honored and so grateful and so blessed. And that's a win, you know, because it'd be so easy for me to sit here and focus on, like, the times that the schedule didn't work correctly, or we hit traffic, or, you know, something happened. I mean, one summer tour, the dogs jumped out of the van to run into a store that Brad was in, you know, so the chaos can happen. But I am going to say is, with about five days left on this tour and only a couple stops left to go, I would do it again. I would do it again. Really, really would. So thank you, if you came out on the tour, thank you for doing that. We will announce our West Coast summer tour soon, but not so soon, because I've gotta, I gotta relax. Gotta take some time. Okay, let me leave you with a mantra. The last couple years, I've gotten the mantras offline. Now because you guys have been so generous and gifted me so many mantras, I'm either getting them off of Instagram, or I have a couple decks that I am using. And so today, it's from the CHANI deck of plenty. No sponsorship here. I just like her. I send my past self love, I send my future self strength, I shower my current self with a million compassion affirmation. I send my past self love. Let's do that. I send my future self strength. Take a moment. I shower my current self with a million compassion affirmations. If you need a million of them, just Google top affirmations for 2025, right, and just keep reading them. Here one more time. I send my past self love, I send my future self strength. I shower my current self with a million compassion affirmations. You guys, we've had many, many guests on talk about affirmations and putting Post-its up and putting them where you can see them. May this be your sign that you do that. Maybe that's your win. And if it is, send it in to us, so we can shout you out on the next FYF. Have an amazing day. And until next time, be it till you see it. That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

They kind of feel comfortable, but retrograde, R-E, they say, anything you can redo, redefine, recreate, redecorate, put a re in front of it. And so to go back, don't blame astrology, but understand what's going on, and then you can work with it. Lesley Logan 0:18  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring.

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 0:57  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co host in life, Brad and I are going to dig into the validating convo I had with Mary and Kate Swick in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that one, you need to make time for that episode and maybe listen to it twice. I think Brad listened to it three times. Brad Crowell 0:57  Two and a half times. Lesley Logan 1:02  Two and a half times. So holy freaking moly, there's a lot of information. Grab your notebook, maybe even look at the transcript of it, because you can go to your sun sign, or Mary and Kate often talk about your rising sign, and you can just like, copy and paste what they're saying, because they gave a lot of information. But before we get into that, today is January 2nd 2025 and it's National Personal Trainer Day. And because I'm a Pilates instructor, I think we just need a Pilates instructor, yoga instructor. It's your national whoever is (inaudible)Brad Crowell 1:49  We're gonna, we're gonna adjust it from personal trainer to fitness trainer. Lesley Logan 1:53  Yeah, whoever is your personal person taking care of you, and OPC can be that person for you. So we're gonna celebrate me. To be honest, I think they really phoned it in when they came up with holidays for January 2nd. Brad Crowell 2:07  Yeah, right. Lesley Logan 2:08  Really went through, and this is the best one that didn't have, like, motivate yourself, go do the thing, like, that language is no longer allowed here. So National Personal Trainer Day is an annual day of observance on January 2nd when many people start working toward their new year fitness resolutions. Just so you know, we are not saying that you need to do that. Personal Trainers guide, motivate, and train you to exercise correctly. Yes they do. Brad Crowell 2:30  Yes they do. Lesley Logan 2:30  Yes they do. Without them, many injuries can happen due to bad former incorrect use of the equipment. So they are vital, often overlooked part of society. Personal Trainers should get the credit they deserve for the great work that they do. Yes. Brad Crowell 2:41  Yes, they should. Lesley Logan 2:42  I should. And also, at OPC, we don't do, like, one-on-one stuff anymore. We do provide feedback on your form just by submitting (inaudible)Brad Crowell 2:51  Did we ever? Lesley Logan 2:52  No, we never did. But I did. I used to. Brad Crowell 2:55  Yeah, okay, but you aren't OPC. Lesley Logan 2:58  That's true. I am not OPC. That's true.Brad Crowell 3:02  Hey. Lesley Logan 3:02  Hey. Brad Crowell 3:02  Congrats. Lesley Logan 3:03  Congratulations to me. Okay, so we're not even home yet, so just so you know, we're. Brad Crowell 3:09  We're a solid week away from being home. Lesley Logan 3:11  We're like definitely somewhere in the Panhandle right now but we're gonna come home at some point, and then we're gonna head to Cambodia.Brad Crowell 3:11  I think we're at Pensacola, probably on the way to New Orleans. Lesley Logan 3:21  We're definitely doing a class in Pensacola, and tomorrow is a class in New Orleans. Yes. New Orleans is sold out, so don't even try. At this point. Brad Crowell 3:29  Pensacola, I think, has a couple left in the class. Lesley Logan 3:32  At the time we're recording this, the class had some spots. Austin has some spots in the workshops. Dallas has some spots in the workshops, and Lubbock has some spots in the workshops, but that's it, so and that's also. Brad Crowell 3:43  How about Phoenix? Lesley Logan 3:44  Phoenix, at this point, has three spots left in the workshops, but you guys, we are 34 days away from those places, so they could be sold out by the time you're hearing that. It's very true, but just reach out, because you never know. You know. Brad Crowell 3:56  Never know. Go to opc.me/tour come check it out. Lesley Logan 3:59  So when we come back, we're going to Cambodia in February, and we have announced, it says we've just announced October. Brad Crowell 4:07  When we're listening to this. No, the announcement for October hasn't come up just yet, but it will be, should probably be on the website, y'all. But basically, we're going to be putting out an offer to the people on the waitlist. So go to lesleylogan.co/retreats plural, retreats plural, and add yourself to the waitlist so you can get the special offer. Well, it's our early bird special. So if you want to check out what's going to happen in October, the dates are the 12th through the 17th, 12th to the 18th, 13th through the 18th, something like that middle of October of this year, 2025. What? We're going to be making that big announcement, only the people on the waitlist. So if you're on social, we won't be talking about it. Lesley Logan 4:46  Only people on the waitlist will get that early bird discount and get the invite. And last October, it sold out from the waitlist. So, just so you know. Brad Crowell 4:55  We're the biggest group we ever took, and we literally had to bump people to February because it just went immediately. And that was really exciting and incredible. So if you are thinking about it at all, make sure you check out those dates and come join us. And as you all heard us talk about back in November, we drove to Los Angeles. Lesley did this incredible week of prepping for the guillotine photo shoot.Lesley Logan 5:16  1100 pictures. Brad Crowell 5:17  Yeah, we did 1100 photos for the new, upcoming flash cards accessories deck.Lesley Logan 5:22  I've been going through on the tour, I'm sure at some point by now, when this comes out, I will have sat down and picked the pictures for this deck, and I am supposed to have been done writing by now. So. Brad Crowell 5:33  Yeah, we'll see. Lesley Logan 5:34  We're gonna project all that, because we're trying to actually go on presale earlier than we usually do. Usually we go on presale in May or June, and we're trying to hit that April, March. Brad Crowell 5:43  And here's why we're trying to avoid hurricane season in Florida. Lesley Logan 5:46  Yeah, you know these are things you have to think about. Brad Crowell 5:48  When they ship. Lesley Logan 5:49  Yeah, when you're a business owner, you have to think about things you never thought about. Brad Crowell 5:52  Never thought about.Lesley Logan 5:53  Before. So you need to go to opc.me/flashcardwaitlist to get on the waitlist, because only those people on the waitlist get the presale price. And the presale price is the best price that deck will ever have, ever, ever, ever.Brad Crowell 6:06  If you are feeling stuck in your Pilates business, or you're really worried about this year, my name is Brad. I talk a lot about, how do you grow a small business, especially a fitness business, especially a Pilates business. So if any of that makes any sense to you, if you're like, Okay, it's January. I need to capitalize on this wave of people wanting to get back into the studio, but I'm not quite sure how to connect with those people. You don't know how to get new clients, or you're worried about the money. Come join me for a free webinar when we get back home the following week, I'm going to be hosting a free webinar called the Pilates Studio Growth Accelerator, and in that webinar, I'm going to be revealing three massive secrets that Lesley and I have put together after coaching more than 2500 businesses over the last seven years. Because this year, this January, right now, it is Agency's seventh year. Holy cow. That is unbelievable. I can't believe that.Lesley Logan 6:57  It's insane.Brad Crowell 6:58  Yeah, we kicked it off in 2018 so that's amazing. Anyway, go to prfit.biz/accelerator. That's profit without the O dot biz slash accelerator, and join me for the free webinar. And then finally. Lesley Logan 7:09  Okay, so you guys are first. Brad Crowell 7:11  Drum roll please.Lesley Logan 7:17  We are going to do a spring training OPC, and it's going to be online. It's going to be something you can do live with us. There'll be some replay action. Brad Crowell 7:26  This is like, going to be a big event. This isn't going to be like, oh, join us for a one hour workshop. No, this is like. Lesley Logan 7:31  No, it's going to be a week long event. Something similar to what you used to do four years ago. But we're going to include all the OPC teachers multiple different pieces of equipment. So no matter what you have access to, there's going to be part of this event that is for you. Brad Crowell 7:42  Yeah, no summer camp this year. Okay, we're going to do the spring training instead of the summer camp.Lesley Logan 7:46  You don't know why. If you were listening to the pod, we kept confusing summer camp and summer tour, and we decided that we need to change the season. And I was born and raised in a baseball family. Brad was raised in a football family, but you may not know my grandfather was actually a professional baseball player, and so spring training. Brad Crowell 8:04  He played for the Philadelphia Eagles, right?Lesley Logan 8:07  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Brad Crowell 8:10  Just hit my head with guitar.Lesley Logan 8:14  And the he meaning Brad, no, my grandfather played for the St. Louis Cardinals he was the catcher. So we're gonna do spring training. It's gonna be end of April into May, and I want you to get on the waitlist, because something special will happen for the people on the waitlist. We'll make sure we always put things special on waitlists. You always just want to be on waitlist. Brad Crowell 8:30  Just be on the waitlist. Lesley Logan 8:31  And we don't bug you. We just remind you what's coming out once a month, so you don't forget about it. So go to opc.me/events, opc.me/events.Brad Crowell 8:39  Yeah, by the way, I just want to say the waitlist is different from our newsletter list. So if you get our weekly newsletters. That's great, different from the waitlist where we specifically talk about the events that you may have been wanting. Lesley Logan 8:50  Yeah, if you're like, interested in what our spring training is going to be, then you're going to want to be on the waitlist, because we won't talk about it on the newsletter until whatever special was on the waitlist is over. Brad Crowell 8:59  Yeah, and I'm not encouraging you to do this, but if you're like, oh my God, you send me a lot of emails, you don't need to be on the newsletter list, but you can still be on the waitlist. Possible. Lesley Logan 9:08  I mean, I write good emails. I'm just gonna say it. Brad Crowell 9:10  You do. Lesley Logan 9:10  They all come from me, and they're not chatGPT, we're not even using my bot to write them. So, you know. Brad Crowell 9:14  It's true. It's true. opc.me/events, plural, opc.me/events, get yourself on the waitlist, and we'll be letting you know about spring training. Lesley Logan 9:23  Also that waitlist. Also let you know about all OPC events that includes the course. So there's good stuff on that. Brad Crowell 9:29  Yep, yep. Love it. All right. Lesley Logan 9:31  Before we talk about Mary and Kate, we have a lot to get into, because we do have an audience question. Brad Crowell 9:35  Yes, we do. Okay. Lisa Hansen 6014 from YouTube says hey, in the shoulder bridge exercise, difference in pointing and flexing.Lesley Logan 9:45  Okay. Brad Crowell 9:45  I don't even know (inaudible) to myself. Lesley Logan 9:48  So, don't worry, means nothing to a lot of people. So in the shoulder exercise on the mat, you actually point the foot up when you kick the leg up. Brad Crowell 9:56  Oh, I know exactly. Lesley Logan 9:57  Yes, I know you do. Brad Crowell 9:58  But you go up pointed and down flex? Lesley Logan 10:00  Yeah, do you remember why?Brad Crowell 10:02  Oh snap. Uh, well, probably about this stretch that creates when you do it. Lesley Logan 10:06  Great job. Brad Crowell 10:07  Hey, nailed it. Lesley Logan 10:08  So, okay, so, so in Pilates. Brad Crowell 10:11  Sorry, Lisa. Lesley Logan 10:11  Yeah. So Lisa asked this, and also her further questions that came from this was like, well, my foot cramps when I point it. So, yeah, here's the deal, in Pilates, when you point it is actually to help you get length in the front of your leg, because the hip flexor is going to want to try to jump in there. And when you flex, is to help you have more access on the way down, to help people have more access to the hamstring and glute, allows you to push into something when you flex with the roll up and you push your heels down, it gets you more access to those hamstrings and glutes. Why? Because you need them to turn on so you don't overuse your hip flexors. Brad Crowell 10:42  Yeah, so that's actually why. Lesley Logan 10:44  Yeah, in sidekicks, when you turn the leg out and you point it up, you flex it down. Why do that? You point it up, so your hip flexor doesn't try to lift the leg, and you flex it down so you can get more gluten hamstring. So pointing and flexing in Pilates is not choreography. It is about the connection. Now, when you're new to exercises and Pilates, it will feel like you're learning choreography. That's fine. But then there is a point to it. Brad Crowell 11:07  There is a method to do with the madness. Lesley Logan 11:09  Yes, and then, just to follow up, if you are someone who's foot or feet cramp when you're pointing them, it tells me you are over using your foot, and the point and flex is happening from the ankle down and not from the butt down. And so what I would just say is. Brad Crowell 11:25  Say that one more time. Lesley Logan 11:26  When you point your foot if it's cramping, there's a lot of reasons why muscles cramp. You could be lacking magnesium, electrolyte. You could be dehydrated, the muscles could be tired. But specifically in Pilates, if a foot is cramping when it's pointed in shoulder ridge, for example, she's got one foot on the ground, not cramping, one foot and they are cramping. It tells me that she's over using the foot. Brad Crowell 11:50  Okay, that's what I just wanted you to say one more time. So yeah, she's doing what? Lesley Logan 11:54  Over-using the foot muscle. She's working from the ankle down. Brad Crowell 11:57  Yeah, that's what I was unclear of. Lesley Logan 11:58  You need to, so your foot is not its own thing. Your foot is part of your butt. So you want to think about that point and flex going from up and down the chain up and down the whole leg. It's not choreography. It's part of like your whole body. And so when you're new, it's going to be just the ankle, but as you advance and the more she uses her butt, the lesser foot will cramp. There's an exercise on the Cadillac called shoulder roll down. If your feet cramp in that exercise, 100% you're not using your butt. 100% of the time when you access your ass, your feet stop cramping. Brad Crowell 12:06  And you're fast. Lesley Logan 12:35  Yes. Brad Crowell 12:35  Oh yeah. Well, great answer. Lesley Logan 12:38  And also, Lisa became an OPC member because of all these questions. Brad Crowell 12:42  Hey, Lisa, welcome to the club. Lesley Logan 12:43  And now I asked her, I said, send me a video of you doing this exercise so I could actually see what's going on. So if you would like me to see how you point and flex your foot and see if you're using your butt or you're just overusing your foot, opc.me/40Brad Crowell 12:43  Yeah, go check it out. Opc.me/40, and come join the amazing family, the community that we got going on there. Okay, so this is gonna be super juicy. Make sure you stick around. We're about to talk about Mary and Kate Swick. Lesley Logan 13:09  And ourselves. Brad Crowell 13:10  And they actually read our charts, and we're gonna talk about that too. So we'll be right back. Brad Crowell 13:16  Welcome back all right. Now let's talk about Mary and Kate Swick. Kate and Mary Swick are the hosts of Mom, Me and Astrology, where they bring together traditional and modern astrological insights. Kate, an Aquarius, and lifelong student of astrology, combines her studies in modern astrology with a background in energy work and intuitive practices, offering fresh perspectives on innovation, growth and self discovery. Side note, she's also went to school for psychology, worked in corporate for a long time, running some spas and stuff. So she's got a lot of interaction with a lot of people, but she grew up with Mary, a Scorpio, brings over 35 years of experience in astrology, making her a trusted guide for navigating major life shifts. Together, they provide guidance on navigating life shifts and understanding planetary influences. Also not mentioned here is that Mary's husband, Kate's father, also worked as an astrologist as well. So Kate was like, around, around this whole world. Lesley Logan 14:12  Before the internet and email, like someone would call and Mary would be out, and there's no answering machines, right? So Kate's like, writing down, okay, yes, the North Node thing you said came true.Brad Crowell 14:23  Yeah, the second month, moon's sun did a back flip. And, yeah, I don't know anything about things clearly, Kate, obviously, grew up with all of this and. Lesley Logan 14:32  If any of the things sounded overwhelming, what I have decided since I've met them and we've known them now three years, maybe four years, is that just the more you listen to the terms, the less, the more familiar they become, the less it's like learning a new language. The less overwhelming it is, and the more you study it in yourself, the easier it is for you to understand other things. And I have to be honest, like, the more chaotic the world is, the more I'm like, hold on, what's going on in the moons, let me see, because. Brad Crowell 15:02  I haven't wrapped my head around houses yet, but I've got, like, sun, moon, I'm starting to understand that. But then there's, like, the planets and the degrees. I don't know anything about that.Lesley Logan 15:11  I'm excited because I picked up a journal for this year. And every day, there's a way for me to put an entry. It tells me what's going on with the moons, and it tells me what's going on with like, different things, and it's a way for me to practice you have to look at your own chart, and I had stickers to put what things are in which house and what degree. And so I feel like just every day I get to spend a little time journaling in this area. Again, what's gonna go to what I loved astrology is what Mary said. Astrology is very validating. It's not as much predictive as it is a green or yellow light saying go or slow down or pause. And you can use it as a valuable tool to help you see things you might not have noticed about yourself, or some things like, why do I do that? Like, why am I doing that? Sometimes I find myself going, why do I do that? And then I hear from my chart, like, this is the way you do that, you're like, oh, so that's just like, kind of who I am. So I just need to be aware that that's something that I tend to do, and something else that'll come up. We had them read my chart and your chart, and something that came up is that I'm someone who requires a lot of downtime. And I have noticed in the last year, I require a lot of downtime, like I just do after tours, after things like, I just, I need to lay down on the ground. And I used to think, oh, is there something wrong with my health or something wrong I need? And so going back to the validation of it, no. In the chart that I have, it literally says lay the fuck down, take time for yourself. So I really like that. And she's like, it's like having a friend who can give you an opinion or show you something that to you that you didn't see yourself. And I also think that's really cool. We had them read our chart. And there's a lot of things that are like moving around, that are going on. And every time I show someone my chart, who knows astrology, the things they go, Oh, wow, you need to stock up on your learning. You've got a lot going on over here. And I'm like, what is it? What do I need to learn? But it's not predictive, right? So we can't tell them what I need to learn. But I really enjoyed, in summary, what I, we are in a transition of something going on in our business right now. And what was validating about this is because we're at the end of the seven years, and so there are a lot of things transitioning, because that's how things are working in my chart is a seven year change, and what I need to be doing, what I need to be focusing on. And some things have already, the energy's already started in there. And I was like, oh, this is really validating. And then there was some things that she said. Was like, hey, you go look out for this. Not a beware, but a be aware. And I was just like, oh, that is really good information. The other thing that I'm glad that they said is you might want to not just rethink collaborations, but also check in with new partnerships. Check out new things. There might be someone who is famous or doing this x thing that you can actually like work with. And also there's just some really good stuff, you guys. It basically just says, I'm coming into like, the more authentic I can be, the better it is going to be for me, the more that I can manifest, the better that's going to be for me. And so what was so cool about that is, I've been thinking I need to be spending more time manifesting what I actually want, because that's just something I'm being called to do, and to hear in my chart that it's like, yeah, you're in a manifestation place. Go do that. It really helps put the green light on something I'm intrigued by. And I find that to be really cool, because it doesn't feel like this random hobby or this distraction. It feels like a direction. I have a lot of new beginnings coming up. Is that what? That's what they said. Did you hear that in my chart? Brad Crowell 18:29  I mean, you and me both. I'll get into that in just a minute. Okay, first off, one move Brad over here, this has always been interesting to me. Intriguing to me after having my chart read, I've met Kate multiple times, and her partner, Mike, but I have not met Mary. I've not met mom in person, I don't believe, but I have listened to them for a long time. Lesley Logan 18:50  I know you, you download their podcast. You listen to it.Brad Crowell 18:52  I do. I actually listen to their pod. And the reason is because, first off, I know you're very interested in it, and I just wanted to kind of start to wrap my head around the language of it, and kind of it, and kind of, yeah, I don't really understand it all, all the time, but it's fun. They're very sweet and they're it's easy to listen to. It's not that long, you know, it's pretty informative. It's also not doom and gloom. I don't know. I always imagine movies from the 90s where someone, like, bases their entire life off of, like, a one paragraph astrological reading in the local newspapers some bullshit, and then they go change their world for the better or the worse. That's kind of just the understanding I had of astrology, but listening to them talk about it, it's really kind of changed my understanding of it, so in a good way. So anyway, we did decide to do our charts with them, and that was also incredibly revealing to me, since I know me better than anybody, right? But before I get into my chart, Kate actually said, hey, the context here not to blame astrology, but just to understand. She explained that when you go through hard things, you can say, oh, here comes Pluto again, rearing its ugly head, right? And not in a sense of you have no agency, but it gives it sheds clarity onto things that might be happening in your life, or why you might be responding in a specific way, and you might be looking at yourself going, why did I do that? And that doesn't mean that you're off the hook. There's blame astrology. That's not what that is, but it does give you visibility into certain things. So it may be also a reminder that some of these things are temporary, because things are shifting and changing. Lesley Logan 20:19  Yeah, some planets move really fast. Some move really slow. And another example, because some people might not really be familiar with Pluto, although, my God, I've been so fucking aware of Pluto and Aquarius, but I'm very involved. So a lot of people like to blame Mercury in retrograde. It happens.Brad Crowell 20:35  Mercury's in retrograde. I've heart that a billion times.Lesley Logan 20:37  It happens multiple times a year, which is why you hear it a billion times. And the thing that I love from Mary and Kate is that they've actually really helped me re evaluate what mercury in retrograde is. First of all, I was born under a Mercury in retrograde, so they don't actually affect me as much. They kind of feel comfortable, but retrograde, R-E, they say anything you can redo, redefine, recreate, redecorate, put a re in front of it. And so to go back, don't blame astrology, but understand what's going on and then you can work with it, which is kind of cool, because, like, you said, no agency can go, okay, hold on, we are in a retrograde. So yesterday, I was trying to move these files. I tried two times it didn't freaking work. And I could have gotten mad or upset, because, like, I get frustrated when technology doesn't work for me, when it worked, like, literally an hour ago, and I was just like, you know what? Yeah, I'm just like, You know what, it's retrograde. I'm just gonna leave that there. I texted the team. I'm like, do you see these files? Because I tried two times and I don't see them there, but maybe I can't see them, and they're like, we don't have them. And I was like, we have to redo it tomorrow. I'm not gonna get angry about I'm just gonna redo it tomorrow. And I was like, ooh, retrograde. Brad Crowell 21:39  Yeah, Astrology can validate what you're feeling. We didn't talk about Pluto yet, but we're gonna get into that in just a minute. So Kate also said, astrology is not there to tell you that you're being punished. That's not the goal of it. It's, you know, it can help validate what you're feeling. It doesn't take away the emotion of what you're going through, but it can provide a sense of purpose. You know, what you're going through and dealing with is exactly what you are supposed to be dealing with. She said, It's all part a much larger plan and a much larger cycle, right? For example, we were talking about Pluto, we were talking about mercury, but we weren't comparing it to Pluto just yet. Mercury in retrograde happens three times a year. Pluto, it's like a 20-year cycle, right? And so what was really interesting is when they read my chart, and it was the two of them talking back and forth to each other for about 30 minutes.Lesley Logan 22:26  Okay, I'm so curious, what happened to it 22? I really wanted to go back and go because (inaudible).Brad Crowell 22:31  I'll tell you what happened, in fact. So here's what's crazy. They basically said hey, Brad, and this was Mary, mom. She said, to be honest, I wish you were here in front of me so that we could meet you face to face, because you have a very intriguing chart. She said, I don't think I've read this many, very many charts over my career, 35 years doing this, very many charts where there were three moons, there are three planets at a zero degree, zero degrees. Now that doesn't mean anything to me. I have no idea what that actually means, but they were very intrigued by this, because I was born under a new moon on a specific day in a specific place, and whatever the degrees of all the planets (inaudible). Lesley Logan 23:07  And you have three planets at zero, which means it's like a new beginning. But also you could kind of be either the old other sign, or this sign.Brad Crowell 23:14  I could be a chameleon. Lesley Logan 23:15  Yes, it's really quite crazy. They also said that when you go to a new place, you don't stand out as a tourist. You kind of just are that. And it was, I'm like, yeah.Brad Crowell 23:23  Are you going to let me talk about how excited I am about the chart, yeah. So, all right, so, so basically, they began to describe me, and Mary doesn't know me. Kate knows me. She actually was using some references of my life, of our life, that she's aware of, but Mary doesn't know those references. Doesn't know me. And yet she was looking at when I was born and where I was born, and she was describing why I did things I did in high school, which was fascinating to me, because she talked about, you were talking about being a chameleon. When I was in high school, I used to literally blend into all the different crowds. I hated the Goths versus the preps versus the jocks. I just thought it was the stupidest thing. So I would wear different clothes every single day, as if I was part of a different clique, a different crew, and I had friends in all these different clubs, or what a social hierarchies, or whatever the it was high school. And for me, I did it in a cynical way, because I thought it was bullshit. So I was like, Well, I'm gonna break the rules and I'm gonna be part of everything. But how funny to hear them talk about how I can do that kind of a thing. And I was doing that when I was, like, 16. It was really interesting to hear them talk about how I'm probably very intrigued about travel and about understanding the world and about different cultures and all that stuff. And that could not be more spot on. That is literally my driving purpose in literally life. I always say travel is my drug of choice. Brad Crowell 23:24  Yeah, yeah. And we and they also said next year is a lot of travel, and it freaking does. You were trying to squeeze a (inaudible) trip in a really crazy time, and I'm like, can we squeeze it into this quarter? Can we do that?Brad Crowell 24:59  I have more coming that she doesn't know about. Lesley Logan 25:00  I know, but I also really loved that they brought up. So something about Brad. He's Oh, yeah, let's just go. Let's go to this thing. And I'm like, Okay, I'll go. And then he's like, oh, you know, while we're over here, let's go to this thing. And I'm like, that was not on the plan. And we gotta drop off these three things if we're 12 o'clock at the FedEx and it's, what are you talking about? I thought we were just going to get lunch, and now you're adding three things. And they freaking brought that up in the chart. I swear to God. I mean, I know it's not psychic, but it's definitely validating. And again, yes, Kate has met you several times. We've hung out, we've gone to dinner, but not like, we're like, every quarter.Lesley Logan 25:01  No, maybe once a year over the past three or four years. Lesley Logan 25:39  Yeah, we have to send Mary a picture of you like I think she (inaudible).Brad Crowell 25:43  I feel it. I'm sure Kate pulled up a photo us. It was really just interesting. I lean towards an addictive personality, where, when I commit to something, I go 1000% in on that thing. I love to travel. I'm really good at showing a front and not sharing what's behind, right? So that's also the way I always thought about it is, that's how I was raised. No one ever sees what's actually going on behind the curtain. Maybe that's also just how I am. My interest in language education, my inclination towards technical stuff, you know, just fascinating to me. And then what we never actually circle back around to, and I want to finish with here before we move on, is Pluto. They said that somehow, I don't really understand it, but Pluto is affecting 10 of the planets in my chart, and that cycle, that 20-year cycle, is concluding right now, and next year is going to be a very interesting transitional time for me. Lesley Logan 26:40  I have to look at your chart. It sounds like maybe a 10-year plan must have been like, in Capricorn or something like that. Brad Crowell 26:44  I have a Capricorn rising. And I never even knew that. I was like, I don't know. Lesley Logan 26:48  Yeah, no, you have Capricorn rising. I have Gemini rising. We gotta look at what your moon is. But, yeah.Brad Crowell 26:52  This was really interesting that they were talking about some of the things that they were forecasting for me for next year during this transition period. I've already been doing them literally this past year. I can't remember the specifics now, but there was like, three or four things where I was like, oh, that's already started. I've already started to shift out of some of the roles that I've held in the company for a really long time. I've already started to make decisions on what I want to be doing in the company. And this kind of started six, eight months ago. So it's just funny that there's stuff going on in my world that they had no idea yet they were talking about it as if they did. Lesley Logan 27:26  They gave me some specific dates. I'm not gonna lie. I'm aiming for one of those to be the accessories launch card date, because, like, this is a great day to launch something. I think so too. Obviously, this is not a commercial for Mary and Kate, but what I hope is it's an awareness of take a look at these things, because it can feel like your world is uncertain and chaotic, and maybe it is chaotic. Brad Crowell 27:46  I mean, especially politically now. When the day this comes out, we're 18 days away from a transition in the president's office. Oh, and that's, you know, a lot of uncertainty starting at the end of this month.Lesley Logan 27:56  It's weighing on me. Well, also, like, I had a call today with someone I was like, so do we think that there's going to be a war where we're going at that time, because this is the weirdest thing, that because we travel so much for work, we have to pay attention politically, what's happening in the world like it, it affects us on an actual economical level, like it affects us on our work and affects the safety wise. And she said, well, then we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I said okay, we're gonna act as a be it until you see it. Here we go. You know. And so having an understanding of this, again, it's not a psychic thing. It can actually just validate. Oh, I do feel like everything is in transition right now, and I have all this stuff happening in my houses. So it is. So it makes you feel to me less crazy, and oh, I'm on the right path, or I can work with this. And so at the very least, you should listen to their podcast. And the episode, we had to talk about Pluto. We went through every single because we're talking to you like, as if you listen to it. We went through every single sun sign, which is a sign that you are born like the birth date, the one that like you. Brad Crowell 28:53  The one that you probably know. Lesley Logan 28:54  You probably know (inaudible) because it's on the magazines and everything. Oh, this your sun sign. Brad Crowell 28:58  Cancer, Capricorn, Aquarious.Lesley Logan 28:59  Yeah, based on your birth date. So you don't have to know the time or location you're born. You can just know your sun sign. We did that for both Pluto and Uranus. So I would just say, like, dabble in it. You can at least listen to the podcast, their podcast, and start to.Brad Crowell 29:15  Yeah, Mom and Me Astrology. Lesley Logan 29:16  Yeah, yeah. Because just to finish Brad's little point here, it's all part of a much bigger and larger cycle and plan. Brad Crowell 29:23  Yeah, stick around, because we're gonna get (inaudible) be it, if we certainly do, we're gonna get into those, Be It Action Items that they laid out for us on the pod. We will be right back. Brad Crowell 29:33  All right. Welcome back. So finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items, what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Mary and Kate Swick? I'm gonna jump in first here. I am cancer sun sign. So I was born under that cancer. Will be handed power, but may feel uncomfortable managing it or forming alliances. Cancer may hold taboo or secrets needed to navigate private matters carefully, interesting, because what we see happening next year is growth with the company and my entire shift, my entire goal, has been for us to grow OPC and begin to rub elbows with some other companies so that we can partner with them for marketing efforts and growth efforts and collaboration and all this stuff, but not on a local level, now on a national level, and eventually on an international level, would be our grandiose goal. So I just find it really interesting that may put me in an uncomfortable situation which I get that I could see how that I could be in a room with people who are running a conglomerate, and it might make me feel like imposter syndrome, or whatever it might be. Lesley Logan 30:41  And knowing that is helpful, because then you go, Okay, I'm gonna feel this way, but I'm supposed to be here. I've been handed this power, and so I'm gonna be uncomfortable. It doesn't mean I can't do use this to my advantage. Brad Crowell 30:51  Well actually, so the cancers may hold taboo or secrets really well when navigating private matters. So you know, if you're maybe a therapist, or you've got someone going through something, what I find really interesting is the environments that I came from were prone to secrecy, because there was a lot of controversy in the work environment that I used to work in, right? And I already feel like prepared for this kind of a thing. There's definitely intimacy being heightened coming up, and then cancers are encouraged to prioritize therapeutic services because of it. And there's a couple of action steps here. It's time to reflect on my needs in relationships, and not just intimate relationships, but just relationships in general, and then also explore what fulfills me emotionally and physically. Therapeutic services will help me process and escape into healing activities like mental health walks or yoga, which is interesting because I I totally was driven to that before, when my life was incredibly stressful 10 years ago. I'm excited to see some of that stuff coming back around, and I'm excited to embrace it so very interesting.Lesley Logan 31:56  And if you are not a Cancer or an Aquarius, because I'm going to go into mine and you're like, but I'm another sign, we talked about it in the other episode. Brad Crowell 32:04  We did talk about it.Lesley Logan 32:04  But also, I think what's really cool over the next year and years, you're gonna hear Brad and I talk about some things, and I think it's going to reveal itself how these things are evolving in our lives, because we're pretty open with you guys about what's going on with our lives and what's going on business, what we're going through. And so, for example, I'm an Aquarius, like Kate and Pluto is in Aquarius. So we are here, and Aquarius requires you rebirthing yourself. And this is something that they talked about when they read my chart. It did come up. You may, as Aquarians, and this is if your sun sign, and also your rising could be Aquarius. This could apply to you. Same goes for cancer. It can be your sun sign or your rising sign. So you may experience a tightly packed, intense schedule. I literally made my assistant already send Brad a screenshot of Q1. Yeah, it's in Slack, babe. It's about belief. Are we sure we want to insert this into this quarter? Can we at all look at the next quarter for this Belize trip, and it's because it's already looking very full, and we're not in it yet. And so it's coming through, and you'll hear in my FYF, like, I'm really proud of myself, because I did plan a birthday trip that doesn't need to happen, but I want it to happen. And yes, it adds the intense schedule, but I want Brad to experience a beautiful place that I love. So anyways, it's gonna be in a tightly packed, intense schedule, however, this can lead to big bucks or better bucks than what you've experienced in the past. And so now I'm like, Okay, well, some of that schedule can stay. So Aquarians are encouraged to prioritize their health. I mean, I do, but you should, and if you haven't listened to the ads on this podcast, there's a lot of ways to prioritize your health here, and is it, particularly in the reproductive and unlimited native areas. And I just want to say I've actually been focusing a lot, ladies, if you're over 40, that means, like talking about looking at your hormone health. It doesn't mean to have a baby. I'm just really focused on keeping my hormones as long as I fucking can, and then eliminative areas. It's look at your digestive system. That's what I'm saying. They also said for Aquarians, there's a need to differentiate yourself now, showing more creativity and innovation and how you dress or present yourself. Here's what's so funny. I'm already planning this photo shoot that we're going to do with Monica Linda from Girl Squad, because we're doing a photo shoot with the new decks, and like to get some pictures for future tours. I bought the most amazing fur coat, I mean, the most amazing fur coat, and then I got the skirt that I showed you. And I have wanted to, I want to update the podcast, art and things like that. And if you haven't noticed, I've been wearing more regular clothes lately, you guys. And here's the thing, it's because I'm in a big transition. Yeah, I am showing up, and they said, remind Aquarians this is a big transition. So it does not happen overnight. So I think it's going to take all of 2025 for the new mystic comp. But in my chart reading as an Aquarius, they said, like, you're gonna have a new look. And I have been over this last year changing. I got rid of the eyelashes, right? And I've been practicing makeup, and I've been practicing these different things, and I had started doing my nails. And I'm fucking obsessed with these nails. If you're on YouTube, aren't they beautiful? They're more beautiful than when I came home. So at any rate, like, if you're an Aquarian, we are the weirdo sign. We are the alien sign. We need to stop playing like, ooh, let me hide. I'm an alien. Let's be the weirdos and be the aliens, because this is our time. It's not going to happen in your lifetime again. The last time Pluto entered Aquarius, it was the French Revolution. If I recall, that should have been 1700s that should definitely been a forewarning. Brad Crowell 32:13  The last part, yeah. Lesley Logan 34:50  So let's enjoy the next 20 years (inaudible). Anyways, I hope that you enjoy this. I know there's a lot of information, but please again, use the transcripts, because that can help you sometimes reading it and hearing it and seeing it can help you with your sign and let us know what takeaways you had for your sign. I want to share those. Instead of sharing the wins, I'll share what you took away from it. It's totally fabulous, and I'm really excited to hear how this helped you. They did a lot of research to help both planets. We are so lucky that we got that. If you do want your chart read by them, listen to what they said on that last podcast episode. I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 36:04  And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 36:05  Thank you so much for listening. Hey, Happy Fucking New Year. Brad Crowell 36:08  Happy New Year.Lesley Logan 36:09  We didn't say that the beginning. Brad Crowell 36:11  We did not say that. Happy New Year. Lesley Logan 36:12  Happy New Year. Happy New Year. I don't believe in resolutions. I believe in upgrades, just like your phone. I say this all the time, your phone just updates itself, and then you have the same phone with better systems. And that's what every new year is, to me. It's taking you and just making the systems better based on what you didn't like and what you did like. So share this with a friend who needs it, and until next time, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 36:38  Bye for now. Lesley Logan 36:40  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It 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 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 0:47  Welcome back to Be It Till You See It. Today is your Fuck Yeah Friday, your adult version of TGIF. You know that weekly episode that you're like, this is gonna drop, and it's gonna remind me that there are wins out there and you know what is also like, really important, if you got to this episode and you're looking for a way to skip out of it because you're like, because, like, (inaudible) what's going on? Brad Crowell 0:47  Yeah. It's a big deal. Lesley Logan 1:06  Does that make you think that other people are winning and you're not? We have to slap, slap, slap. Brad Crowell 1:12  Change that up. Lesley Logan 1:12  This is where you go and youBrad Crowell 1:15  This is an opportunity to know that good still happens in the world. Lesley Logan 1:21  Yes. Brad Crowell 1:22  Yeah. Lesley Logan 1:22  Yes. And that led to you go, oh. Also sometimes you go oh, I had that win.Brad Crowell 1:27  Yeah, maybe good is happening in my life, but I'm not seeing it. Lesley Logan 1:30  Yeah, Yeah. So okay, first up, the win that you sent into us is Adrienne McCaskey and she is Agency member. We probably just saw her in Pennsylvania, actually. Brad Crowell 1:40  Oh, yeah. Lesley Logan 1:40  So coming from my I-need-a-moment, so I'll just say, if you find yourself complaining in your life, this is me talking not Adrienne, find yourself complaining in your life, you need to finish your complaint and then find a win. So that's what's happening here. I'm struggling to think of specific wins as of late. So, that said, I'm feeling good about how I've been able to be more present with my kids after school and in my off hours. Thanks to more automation and use of my scheduling tool and trying to get clients to schedule and cancel themselves. Brad Crowell 2:10  That is awesome. Lesley Logan 2:11  Yeah, that's fucking amazing. Brad Crowell 2:13  Fantastic. Lesley Logan 2:14  That's a huge win. Brad Crowell 2:15  Yeah, that's exactly why you want a scheduling tool. So, good job. Lesley Logan 2:19  Yeah. Also, thanks to some tips from others and the agency group, I've been better about setting reminders and sticking to schedules for admin tasks like tax deadlines, cleaning, etc., so Idon't fall behind or let these things sneak up on me. Every little bit of organization helps. Setting a reminder and then looking at it, I mean, I think you won, Adrienne, I think you won. This is like The Game Of Life. You just won it. I love that and I love that.Brad Crowell 2:47  You know, I've never played that game. Lesley Logan 2:48  The Game Of Life? Brad Crowell 2:49  I've never played it. Lesley Logan 2:49  The first time I played it, I gave me six children. I had the kids under the van and I had a split-level house, which on the card. Brad Crowell 2:55  What? Lesley Logan 2:55  Can you tell it traumatized me? Brad Crowell 2:56  What is this game? Lesley Logan 2:57  The Game Of Life? Brad Crowell 2:59  Never played it. Lesley Logan 2:59  Oh, we should just get it and play it at Thanksgiving. So you like spin, and it tells you like a number, and that helps you choose a job. And you pull a card and you can end up being a cop or a teacher or a surgeon, right? And then you go at other things, like, okay, now choose your pay, right? And then you draw a random card, you can get $10,000 a year, that could be your pay. But then it's like, oh, taxes are due. It's like Monopoly, but not. You're not buying much houses. But I had six kids, because every time it was like, oh, you just had a baby. It's like, oh my God. And another kid, all these kids, like, stacked on my little car. And then I had a split level house. And the drawing of the house when it was a split level had a split down like it was a trashy house. Brad Crowell 3:39  Oh. Lesley Logan 3:38  And by the way, split level houses are not it just means that there's a split level. So I thought The Game Of Life was being a little harsh on some people. You could also get a (inaudible). You learn about all the different types of homes you can get. It's very interesting. We have to play it. Okay, let's get back to one more win of yours. This is from Karen Campbell. Celebrating that I've been honing in on my ICA, so that's a ideal client avatar, and this week, things have really clicked. I have the most true to me, I Help statement that I have ever had. It's been a culmination of all the conversations, coaching calls, webinars, inside of Agency, as well as leaning into the use of AI for help with marketing messaging.Brad Crowell 3:39  Great.Lesley Logan 3:39  Thank you, LL, Brad, Kirsten, Kirsten has an AI course that Karen's leaning into, and Rachel Piper, and for the recent Monica Linda and Nadine Hanafi webinars. So grateful. Brad Crowell 4:25  Awesome. Lesley Logan 4:26  Good things are coming because I've gained the clarity needed to move the needle forward. Boom. Brad Crowell 4:34  Man, she's on a roll. Lesley Logan 4:35  She's on a roll. So Monica Linda has been on the Be It Pod, and so has Nadine Hanafi. And if you are wanting Nadine's amazing branding stuff, it is brilliant, and we've linked to it in her podcast episode. And so please take a look at that so you can get our little Be It Pod link to figure out what your colors are and things like that. But also, I just want to highlight this is a culmination of conversation. Brad Crowell 4:58  Yeah. Lesley Logan 4:58  I heard about I Help statement, I should have an I Help statement, and it can take time. Brad Crowell 5:02  It takes time. I was just on a coaching call with another Agency member, and I'm going to remain anonymous because I didn't tell I was going to share this, but she said for years I've struggled with my I Help statement and the frustrations that I've had in the past couple weeks have suddenly made it really clear to me what my I Help statement needs to be. Lesley Logan 5:24  Oh. Brad Crowell 5:25  Yeah. And because when we go through some bullshit, you suddenly know what you do and don't want and who you do want to work with and you don't want to work with and why. And so it can allow those things to become more clear, but maybe sometimes you just have to go through something first before that clarity comes to you. So it's a tough thing to demand instantaneously, even though you can be thinking about it, thinking about it. So Karen, I know it's really exciting, so I'm happy for you. This is fantastic. Great job. Yeah.Lesley Logan 5:53  Yeah. Okay, so I thought today would be a good time to reflect on things that you don't have to join in, because I didn't tell you this before we hit record, but on things that I said I want to do this year and celebrate what I did do on that. So I'll start. And if you think of something that you wanted to do this year, and you can tell us how it's going. Brad Crowell 6:13  I'd have to look at my phone, but I have something in mind. I don't know if I did it or not. Lesley Logan 6:18  Okay, so I wanted to be more intentional about getting into the Las Vegas community, and like having friends in Las Vegas, doing things with friends. And I will say, we planned a few things, and I'm like, Las Vegas' canceled. This is not a complaint. But also, I got to hang out with another Las Vegas multiple times, and I tried out new restaurants with her. And so I'm gonna call it a win. I also tried out a library card, and I tried out pole dancing, and I tried to, like, get to know more parts of the city, and we tried out new restaurants, and we were open to going to dinner with different particular couples or potential couples. And so I feel like even with all the travel we had, I definitely took advantage of the Vegas time that I had, and it's really easy to go reflect on that. Go, I could have done more. Oh, I could have actually reached out to them a week before. I could have done this. That's not how you do wins everyone. So what I did do is more than I did a year ago, and more than the year before that. And I really am proud of that intentionality, and I'm excited for the year to come because I have more people in Las Vegas to spend time with. So that's really cool. Lesley Logan 7:23  Another thing that I also had wins throughout the year already about this is just like being more intentional with girlfriends and talking to them, and I got to see all of my girlfriends multiple times in the year and hang out with them in person. And so I'm really proud about that. I think that's really cool. Brad Crowell 7:40  That's awesome. Lesley Logan 7:40  Yeah, I also had this goal of really trying to figure what's wrong with my stomach and with my health and my sleep, and with the help of FemGevity, I fucking got answers, and I really am loving how I'm feeling, like I'm going into next year feeling better than I did last year. Yeah, so that's a huge win. And then I will say I wanted to have more time in my schedule, and it took us several months and some big battles, but I got a bunch of my time back. And did I use that extra time to work on the things that I wanted to learn? No. Brad Crowell 8:15  But that's kind of okay.Lesley Logan 8:16  That's okay because the goal was to get the time back.Brad Crowell 8:18  We've also been push, push, push for years, so, you know, taking a rest with that time is also incredibly helpful. Lesley Logan 8:25  I also was like, what is it like to get bored? Let's try that. And I also got better ideas not filling that time. That's why the win doesn't have to be I got time and then I used it somewhere else. I got some time back and I used it to play a video game and read a book and lay on my (inaudible) and talk to some girlfriends and I have time like the other day, I saw a friend's story. I never watched her stories, and I saw her story, and she was going through something, and I was just like, hey, I'm free at 9am on Monday. Do you want to have a chat? I got on the phone with her, and because I had the time and I wasn't behind on projects, I can go here's how I think I can solve your problem, and here's who you should call. And that's what I did. And it was a 15-minute call, and I was like, okay, bye. And so I just am really proud that I gave myself time that wasn't filled with other things, so that I could be there for people or do things spontaneously. Brad Crowell 9:11  Yeah, well, that's awesome. Those are great. I got a couple that come to mind. This year, I wanted to shift away from some of the managing of the company that I have been doing historically, because I am very passionate, but I'm also very hands on and controlling. And so by relinquishing the projects to people who are incredibly capable and could do the job, it's been allowing me to focus on shifting into a different position in the company, which still is the CEO role, but more of a sales and marketing side of things. So I'm still, you know, ultimately, handling stuff, but I'm not micromanaging like I was, and that's been a really different way to work, and it's also allowed me to connect more with our clients who are coming in, and also effectively move the needle of the sales in a good way. So that's a big win. The word for the year for me was stability. Lesley Logan 10:11  Oh.Brad Crowell 10:11  Yeah. Lesley Logan 10:12  You and Michael Unbroken has a word for his year. He does it on his birth. I don't, I can't pick a word. But anyways.Brad Crowell 10:18  Wow. 2024, my goal was stability, and what that meant is last year was really intense, topsy-turvy as far as launches and income and travel and all the things, and this year was just as busy, but it didn't feel as chaotic, and it was also more we were able to high-level with our company, we're able to shift when we were getting the income. And so it gave us better cash flow management, which any business owner out there understands what I mean. It's great to make a bunch of money at the beginning of the year, but then if you make no money in the middle of the year, you're like, oh my God, do we still have enough? And so we were able to make some adjustments and shift things around as far as when we were doing what we were doing, and that has made my stress levels incredibly better this past year than it was a year ago. So I'm super proud of our team for that. I'm proud, I mean, it was a team effort to be able to do that. Lesley Logan 11:15  Yeah, I'm also proud of us and also you. Here's the thing, you can ask the team do all of these things, and we can change things around so that it feels more stable. Then you also have to let go of the muscle that likes to stress and worry. That's the think. Like, that's a habit. Stress is a habit. Stressing about things you can't control, habit.Brad Crowell 11:35  That's true. Yeah. And the last thing which I need my phone to be able to answer is my goal was to get seven hours of sleep this year, a night. Lesley Logan 11:42  Oh, on average? Brad Crowell 11:44  On average. And I know I got six for sure. Lesley Logan 11:47  Can we just log in on your computer to Oura? Brad Crowell 11:50  I mean, can I? Lesley Logan 11:51  I think you can. Yeah. Brad Crowell 11:52  Okay, here we go. Well, I got six hours on average. Lesley Logan 11:56  And you wanted seven? Brad Crowell 11:57  I wanted seven. Six hours and 15. Lesley Logan 12:00  Here's what I think we should do, Brad, we'll get our 2024 reports at the end of this year while we're on tour. And then when we come back from tour and we do the FYFs for February, you and I will share any changes we want to make to our health, as far as what we can track, as far as sleep goes. Brad Crowell 12:17  Dig it.Lesley Logan 12:18  Okay, here we go. I think that this is the most applicable mantra that could exist for wrapping the 2024 FYFs up for the year. I am growing and going at my own pace. I am growing and going at my own pace. I am growing and going at my own pace. Guys, that could be your mantra for the whole fucking year. So you know what to do. Lesley Logan 12:44  All right, loves. We hope you really enjoyed. I don't know, if you think that these suck, you can tell us, but here's the thing, I listened to this one podcast I've been inspired. I said it on during one of the roundups, the rewinds, one of the reviews gave him five stars and then said this host is lacking and is not doing a great job. So don't say that. You can email that in, but give us five stars, and then email the team like, hey, the FYF suck, or hey, I really wish you did X, Y and Z. You're welcome to tell us. I'm not gonna say we'll make changes. This is who we are, but the goal, again, of the FYFs is to remind you that good things are happening, and even when you're feeling like you're in a shit hole, like a lotus flower can grow from that, and so wins can come from the weirdest places. Until next time, Be It Till You See It. Happy New Year. Have an amazing one. Brad Crowell 13:31  Bye for now. Lesley Logan 13:33  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

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 0:47  Hello, Be It babe. Welcome to your, probably your favorite podcast episode comes on a Friday. Honestly, most podcasts on Fridays are long and who has the time? And really, you just want to know that it's Friday. This is like the TGIF. Did you ever watch that, Brad? Did you get to watch TGIF? Brad Crowell 1:01  No. Lesley Logan 1:02  Your parents didn't let you? Brad Crowell 1:03  No. Lesley Logan 1:04  Oh my God, Family Matters, Step By Step? Brad Crowell 1:07  Nope. Lesley Logan 1:08  Oh so good. It was like two hours of like sitcom shows that were weekly episodes. And we lived for TGIF. Brad Crowell 1:17  Yeah, I was allowed to watch, like, Mathnet and Reading Rainbow, and then we would go to TGIFriday's. Lesley Logan 1:23  No, that's a lot of money. Brad Crowell 1:25  Not the same. Lesley Logan 1:25  Never, no, no, no. Brad Crowell 1:28  Special occasions. Come on, let's be real.Lesley Logan 1:30  Yeah. So this is the Fuck Yeah Friday. It's the adult version of TGIF, and it's actually where we celebrate some of your wins you've sent in, and some of ours. Brad Crowell 1:38  Yes. Lesley Logan 1:39  So we have Ainsley. We just got back from Cambodia with Ainsley. Brad Crowell 1:42  We did. Lesley Logan 1:43  And we're gonna see her in March. And she said, so this, obviously, this win is from a bit ago, because it's before, before Cambodia. But she said currently boarded and sat on the plane for Cambodia, that's got to be a huge win. 10 beautiful days filled with adventure Pilates and Pilates people, oh, and so far, there's no one sat next to me. I'm excited for the adventures that lay ahead.Brad Crowell 2:07  Well, I could attest those were adventures.Lesley Logan 2:10  They were amazing adventures. Brad Crowell 2:12  It was incredible. Lesley Logan 2:12  And that was Ainsley's two years in a row. Brad Crowell 2:13  Yeah, second time joining us. Yeah. Lesley Logan 2:16  Fabulous. Like, it's amazing. It was amazing to watch Ainsley do it a year again, like, in a row. Brad Crowell 2:22  Yeah, your limit. Lesley Logan 2:22  And just see how much her life has changed because of what she implemented from the last retreat. And now I can't even wait to see, no, we'll just see her in March at another retreat, so, here at the house, so I can't wait to see what she's implemented by then.Brad Crowell 2:35  Yeah, it's gonna be amazing. Lesley Logan 2:36  All right, we have Erin Donohue. Brad Crowell 2:38  Okay. Lesley Logan 2:38  She is an eLevate OG grad. Brad Crowell 2:40  Oh, yeah. Lesley Logan 2:41  And she wrote so many wins. Backstory to my personal win. With the help of Lesley Logan, my incredible partner, Kim Craig, and the amazing ladies in my eLevate cohort, I've realized my worth and found the strength to leave my emotionally abusive marriage. I had to quit my job in a private practice PT, and take a hospital-based job to get health insurance and a salary to pay my bills. After a year of hustling, I saved up enough money for the eLevate retreat in 2025. I can't wait. My practice win, I made time for movement snacks throughout the week. It helped me stay consistent. Today was 15 minutes on the chair before my afternoon client. My teaching win, I have a client who practices Pilates in a bigger body. She told me this week after a session, I never thought I'd find a form of exercise that I like, but I really like this. I am so honored to teach her.Brad Crowell 3:26  Wow, that is a lot. Lesley Logan 3:28  I'm emotional.Brad Crowell 3:29  That is a lot. Lesley Logan 3:30  I'm gonna cry. So first of all, a year ago, we're on winter tour, and on the day that this comes out, we'll have just seen Erin in Hershey, actually. Brad Crowell 3:39  Oh, fun. Lesley Logan 3:40  I don't know. Maybe not. Guys, don't ask. Two days from now, we're gonna see Erin in Hershey two days from now. Okay, so we're recording this in the past for the future. But she had said are you going to do the Elevate retreat again? And I said I don't know, you know, like, I was hoping more people would want to come, and this is important. Like, not everything goes the way you want. But she's like, oh, I really wanted to go. Just couldn't make it happen this year. I said okay, look, I will do it one more time, and you have to come, and you have to get other people to come, and she fucking did it. I love that we get to share this win on this FYF, because some of these wins are years in the making. Brad Crowell 4:14  Yeah. Lesley Logan 4:17  And I also think it's really cool that she shared she had to make some really tough decisions, like leaving a job that you love to do a job that you also are qualified to do, but maybe you have to make some changes to your schedule or changes where you work, or changes with who you work, so that you can make the life changes that are going to be long lasting. You can look at this with a lens of oh, that sucks. Instead of oh, I get to do this so that I can have these things. I just really love that she shared that with us. Because sometimes we have to make decisions in our life that feel like a setback, but they're really set ups for opportunities, and also that teaching win is fucking beautiful. Brad Crowell 4:50  That's super fun. That's the kind of client that makes you excited to show up for work. So totally love that. Totally get that. Lesley Logan 4:57  Yeah, oh my God, Erin, thank you so much. And Ainsley, for sharing these wins. Also, I just want to highlight Ainsley's one more time. Do you see how she made no one is currently sat next to me as a win like wins don't have to be efforting that like, you did. It could be lack of effort on someone else's part.Lesley Logan 5:15  All right, I have a win, unless you have one. Brad Crowell 5:17  No, go. Lesley Logan 5:18  Okay, this podcast is in the top 1.5%. Brad Crowell 5:20  What? Lesley Logan 5:22  Yeah.Brad Crowell 5:22  I know. I'm excited. Lesley Logan 5:24  So when we launched the podcast, because of our dedicated listenership, we actually launched at the top 2% like, which is cool and incredible. We were beating our friends, and that felt weird and cool. We would never say that in front of their face. I was like, I'm proud of us for doing that. But then we sat at 2% forever. And now look, here's the deal. Brad Crowell 5:43  For how many it's. Lesley Logan 5:44  When did we launch in '21 or '22? Brad Crowell 5:46  2021? 2021. Lesley Logan 5:48  2021. So three and a half years. Brad Crowell 5:50  Yeah, three and a half years. Lesley Logan 5:51  Yeah. And here's the deal, we also, in those three and a half years, thousands, tens of thousands of podcasts have launched. Brad Crowell 5:58  Oh my gosh. Lesley Logan 5:58  So we didn't. Brad Crowell 5:59  Probably millions. Lesley Logan 5:59  Millions. We didn't drop out of the top 2% but it was just frustrating, because in all the podcasts of all the world, we were in the same spot for three and a half years about, with all the effort that we were doing. And I'm like, I don't, doesn't anyone like us, the downloads are going up. What's going up? But honestly, I, we might have hit 1.5% a month ago or two months ago, but I stopped looking because I was getting really sad about it. So that is a team win, and also it's a win that includes you, because your listening is what made it happen. So you get a listen score and a percentage, and the percentage gets better as the listen score goes up, which means the number of people who are listening, but also the amount of time they're listening, so listen all the way to the end, or at least fast forward. But don't skip the mantra. So anyways, I think that's a great win.Brad Crowell 6:50  Yeah, that's a good one. That's amazing. It's exciting to see forward progress, for sure. Sometimes it has felt like, are we spinning our wheels? But no, apparently we're not. So, that's exciting. I love it.Lesley Logan 6:59  Yeah. I love it. Brad Crowell 7:01  Validation. Lesley Logan 7:02  That's exactly what that was. Yeah. Okay, so the mantra for today, I embrace change seamlessly and rise to the new opportunity it presents. There's a lot of words in this. Brad Crowell 7:14  I embrace change seamlessly and rise to the new opportunity it presents. Lesley Logan 7:19  Yes, we repeat it three times, I embrace change seamlessly and rise to the new opportunity it presents. I mean, it's December, like, middle of December, like, right now, guys, there's a lot of change that probably not many of us are doing well, seamlessly well. So let's try it. And there's an opportunity it presents. And I think that actually goes align with the two wins that we shared with our listeners and ours, you know, so I don't know that we were that seamless and celebrating the fuck out of yes, we're 1.5% and I can't wait the next step is 1%. Brad Crowell 7:51  Heck yeah, let's do this. Lesley Logan 7:53  Alright. Thank you all so very much. Until next time, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 7:56  Bye for now. Lesley Logan 7:58  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It 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 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 0:46  Hello, Be It babe. Happy FYF. That means it is Fuck Yeah Friday. It is the time of the week where you're supposed to celebrate things. If you haven't started practicing celebrating that all the time. I am actually joined with my co-host, Brad. Brad Crowell 0:57  What? How about that?Lesley Logan 0:59  And you know what? One of the wins I have for this year, is I learned how to say your last name. Brad Crowell 1:02  Hey, what? That's a good win.Lesley Logan 1:04  Didn't even know I was saying it wrong. Brad Crowell 1:06  Only 10 years later. Lesley Logan 1:07  Nine. Oh I guess we knew each other, 11. Brad Crowell 1:10  Yeah. Lesley Logan 1:11  At any rate, you guys, if this is your first time joining us, what we actually do is we celebrate some wins of yours that you send in and a win of one of ours, and then we end with a mantra, and oh, I got some new cards. I guess I'll get those for the next one, not for this one. But don't worry, you've got a mantra at the end of this. Do not stress. We're just taking you behind the scenes on how this goes down. Lesley Logan 1:32  So let's get started with a win of yours. This is from Kristin Salmans. She is a eLevate grad and Agency member, and she wrote. After our eLevate call, Friday, I saw my hypermobile prospect client, put her on the spine corrector, like we discussed, and then took her to the reformer. After a few things there, I decided to put her on the box and use the weights to work on her arm, back connection. It was amazing. When we finished, she said that was hard, and I've done a lot of hard things. That was so hard we found connected. She was so much more open through her neck and her shoulders. She's got homework. Thank you. It's working. Brad Crowell 2:07  Love that. Lesley Logan 2:07  I love it too. You know, one of the things that we do with eLevate grads is we have alumni calls that they can join and they can ask questions about their practice or about a client they're working with, and they get feedback and hypermobile, crossfit client isn't normal. Brad Crowell 2:21  It is not normal. That's true.Lesley Logan 2:22  And so it was just really, really fun. So Kristin, thank you for sharing that with us. All this is to say is like a lot of times you don't have to be a Pilates instructor to have this win. Sometimes we think something should be easier because we're really good at something else. And honestly, what we really have to do is actually go about things a different way, to recognize, oh, I'm not doing it like that. Like Brad's super hypermobile and he has yoga, but when he actually focuses on some of his foundations, he finds that it's really hard and really difficult to do. Lesley Logan 2:51  Okay, I have another win I want to share. This one's from Rachel Hines. She actually went on a Cambodia retreat with us over a year ago. She's an agency member, and she wrote, I was extremely sick this week, kept testing negative for COVID and other various things, ended up in an urgent care and basically they said it's just some kind of virus. Anyway, that's not the win part. I have been out of the studio for five whole days, and because of my team, the studio was completely covered. I have an awesome studio manager and great instructors that everything just kept moving. My studio manager took her first official meeting without me. It took time to get to this point, and I've been very particular with hiring and everyone reflects our brand and our mission. Brad Crowell 3:27  That's amazing. Congratulations. Lesley Logan 3:29  Congratulations.Brad Crowell 3:30  That's like the ideal.Lesley Logan 3:31  I know, I know, when we met Rachel, you know what a difference a year makes, is what I really actually want to say. And this being the FYFs of December, you kind of want something to happen yesterday, but actually this win is because she has been so consistent with her mission and her values and making sure that the team that she has and that she keeps and that she nurtures is aligned with those. This is why you want to do that. So when you're sick, you're not like 'and these fucking people don't know how to answer an email and respond and handle the studio while I was sick for five days.' So this is why you do it.Brad Crowell 4:03  That's amazing. Well, congratulations. That's really exciting. Lesley Logan 4:03  Yeah, Brad, do you want to take this week's win? Or I could do it. Brad Crowell 4:08  I do want to take this week's win. Well, I'm gonna piggyback off of Rachel. We had a similar experience that made me feel so calm and excited about the team that we built when Lesley and I were out of town hosting our Cambodia retreat. We also launched the tour, the winter tour, and it was incredible because it was not possible for us to participate in it, other than maybe making a post on social but we literally didn't even have to do that. We've gone through this a handful of times. They've created a system, and they were able to replicate the system and successfully, because we sold out three locations on the very first day of the launch, and I'm pretty sure we were asleep in, you know, on the other side of the world, so.Lesley Logan 4:59  Yeah, all I did was accept, you did it. I was like, I had to go to sleep. You're gonna be up for an hour. If this comes through, you need to accept the Instagram post. And that was all we had to do while we're halfway across the world. It was freaking awesome.Brad Crowell 5:13  So I couldn't agree more, Rachel, it is a absolutely joy-filled moment when you're like, oh, wow. It's possible for me to step away and the wheels stay on the bus, not only that, but taking a client meeting without you, that's progressing the business forward. So that's incredible. Lesley Logan 5:30  Yeah, yeah. I think it's hard to see some of these wins until you're sick, or until there's an obstacle or like this thing. We don't often give ourselves time to test things, and so it's like, you just gotta know that you're ready. You know, I was just watching a workshop, and she said, the reason why we do Pilates is so that if you're in the ocean and a shark comes up, your body knows how to twist and turn and swim faster and use your legs and use your arm and get up, and you can beat the shark because, but you wouldn't ever test that on, like, willingly.Brad Crowell 6:02  No, that's quite a scenario. You're making me go. Lesley Logan 6:06  I know. Did you get stressed out? Okay, let's do it with the mantra. Okay. When I focus on my reason for being, I am infinitely brave. When I focus on my reason for being, I am infinitely brave. Brad Crowell 6:20  There you go. Yeah. Lesley Logan 6:21  When I focus on my reason for being, I am infinitely brave. Yeah, you are. Brad Crowell 6:26  When I focus on my reason for being, I am infinitely brave.Lesley Logan 6:29  Yeah, I feel like we're trying out for auditioning for a (inaudible).Brad Crowell 6:33  When I focus. Lesley Logan 6:36  On my reason for being, I'm infinitely brave. All right, loves, you know what to do until next time, Be It Till You See It.Lesley Logan 6:46  Bye for now.Lesley Logan 6:48  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Send us a textAdvertising. Even just saying the word makes people roll their eyes, since the culture has managed to find ways to cram ads into every bloody crevice in the universe now. We even pay extra just to skip them a lot of the time. But it wasn't always that way, was it? Back in the last golden age of advertising (in the '80s and '90s, which was basically the last best time for everything pop-cultural), ads were actually a form of entertainment in and of themselves. In this edition of FYF, Saint and Jim take a look back at the retro ads of their youth, which — despite being little but crass marketing — still have the ability to evoke a very specific brand of nostalgia. So get your skis shined up, grab a stick of Juicy Fruit, and put this in your earholes.  

Real progress can start with small steps, especially when we make time for self-care. This FYF, Lesley shares Djamila's wins—from new clients to fresh confidence—as she grows her business and embraces personal goals. Lesley also reflects on her own journey to prioritize her health and gaining strength for a big fitness shoot. Join Lesley to celebrate each step forward and discover how a little self-advocacy can set the stage for even bigger wins.If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/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 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 0:46  Hey, Be It babe, Happy Fuck Yeah Friday. We've got some wins of yours to share. We've got a win of mine. We are coming closer and closer with every single one of these Fridays at the end of the year. And so, my goodness, I hope you are taking some time to celebrate some wins by now. Because, if not now, when? And why wait till the end of the year to like, oh, I'm gonna make all these changes next year. Celebrate wins now, and these little wins can help you start to make changes this year. So let's get to yours first. Actually, that is the order. I almost went out of order. So let's get to yours first. Lesley Logan 1:15  We have a couple from Djamila, so she will be our wins for today from you guys. Djamila is an agency member, and has lived all over this world, all, all over this world, and now is in Switzerland, I believe. Here we go. Her wins, surviving a painful double ear infection with flu. Oh, my God. Published my second meta ad, and it's helped me understand the unique selling points of my product and generate a new trial session in two days, create a new promotional flyer and got it printed, training my coaches on what's important and non negotiable to me when working with the clients, it's working because the feedback from clients who have tested other studios has also been super positive, and this has boosted my confidence, because I am seeing the value of my experience. They are seeing the value of my experience. Had a coaching call with Kirsten, who really helps making social media accessible. Almost done reading Dr. Gabrielle Lyon's book Forever Strong. She is protein-obsessed, and I know that you'd eat more of it. What I like is how she flips a narrative from people are over fat to people are under muscled being thinking of other areas of my life and biz where a similar flip could help me. Code of the week that I got from a friend on LinkedIn, why seek a job that you are fully qualified for and can do? There'll be no room to grow and learn in. Ah, these wins are from earlier this year, and there's so many in there, and I do love the narrative change of people are under-muscled. I love that you are reading that Djamila and calling it a win in your life, because I think this is a really cool thing for us all to explore. I just, I really do. Lesley Logan 2:39  So your next set of wins came later this summer. Two little wins for me. Last week, I convinced a client who has back issues that instead of canceling his hit strength training membership with my studio, he should come try Pilates as it might suit his needs better, and if he liked it, we could discuss transferring his membership to Pilates classes. He accepted instead of haggling to get out of his contract, I'm totally being it till I see it, because I know I'm not even teaching Pilates at my studio yet. I just, she's a Pilates, side note, you guys, she's a Pilates instructor for many, many years, so just doesn't have it in her studio yet. Okay, back to her. I just sent out my first studio newsletter using MailChimp. Yay. Looks so much more professional than a regular Gmail. Met with a lawyer friend who has agreed to help sort me out with some legal docs I need in Switzerland. Sometimes daring to ask for help really pays off. Djamila, I think like asking for help somehow always, does pay off. And I just want to say thank you. Your wins, when you post them, they're so reflective. And I even learned something about how I, other things I can see as a win. And so I'm so excited to share your wins with our, with everyone listening to the Be It Pod today, because you know, you can survive a double ear infection with the flu, and that's a win. You can, you can, you can get that on the other side. So just absolutely thank you for being you, and thank you for being vulnerable, and thank you for sharing all of these wins. You guys, if you sent out a MailChimp for the first time, it's a win, right? It's really a win. Instead, we focus on how long it took and why I've been pushing up for so long, and what, like, someone unsubscribed instead of going, I actually did something really hard today. That's a win. That's an FYF. Lesley Logan 4:09  All right, so today, as you're listening to this, is the day before I am going to do my photoshoot for the Accessories Deck. And in my last, really, like, since 2007 I had a lot of stomach issues, and so a lot of the shoots that I've done, I've done in like stomach pain or just not having eaten that day because I don't want to start the stomach pain off while I'm on the photoshoot, which does affect my ability to do the actual exercise and have the energy and stamina to do it. But because I'm working with FemGevity, because I've been advocating my health. My stomach has been doing so, so much better. And so my body is ready for this photo shoot. And I, in caution say that because, out of context, I don't want everyone to think I'm talking about body appearance. That's not what I'm talking about at all. But like the strength of my body. I've been able to actually absorb the nutrition that I've been putting in my body, and all because I advocated myself earlier this year, and not that I ever stopped. I finally found someone who was listening, and in that collaboration together, I've gotten so much out of it, and so I share this with you, because if you have projects that you're just procrastinating on, if it is because of your health, because your hormones are not where you want them to be, or maybe you're feeling a little bit down, or maybe you're not feeling as strong as you used to, or as energized as you used to. Getting help for yourself is a win, and then you'll get to do those things you desire to do, because I would really, really hate to be sitting here and procrastinating on my deck because my stomach was bothering me and my body wasn't strong enough. This deck required more strength than any of the decks because there's so many little tools that I had to practice and so many little accessories, and I needed to practice all of them. And they're accessories for a reason. You don't practice all of them all the time, and I had to do that, plus the guillotine, which I don't always have access to. And so my win is I ready in my body for this, and it is ready for this, and I am ready for this shoot to bring you the most amazing deck possible. And it's because several months ago, I said yes to getting help. And so that's my win. So if you are needing that, please check out our FemGevity team because they are fabulous and wonderful and changed my life and truly have saved it and give me the strength that I need to do all the things I want to do. So there's this deck, but there's more to come, right? There's winter tour and things like that. Lesley Logan 6:28  So all right, let's get you a mantra for your weekend. There is peace in changing your mind when it is done in love. There is peace in changing your mind when it is done in love. There is peace in changing your mind when it is done in love. All right, loves, feel free to always change your mind. Send those wins in. We want to celebrate your wins here on the Be It Pod. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 6:54  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

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 0:46  Hi, Be It babe. Hello, happy FYF. If you're new to the Be It pod, this is a quickie episode where we share wins that you sent in. We share a win of mine. We can see what qualifies as a win, and then we have a little mantra, and move on with our days. Tuesdays are interviews, Thursdays are recaps, and today is a Fuck Yeah Friday. Before I get into the wins, just highlighting that I'm recording these well in advance of the present, so they may not sound as topical as what might be going on. And that is okay, because we need a little win in our life, no matter what is going on, whether it's good or not, or whatever you deem it to be. Lesley Logan 1:23  So here we go. The first one up is Natalia. Natalia wrote, finally making some time to be here in Slack and enjoy being part of this wonderful community. I got some new in-person clients, and one who wants to do online privates with me. My TV appearances last week went super good, and I got a call from a National Women's Magazine. They want to interview me as a Pilates expert, so I'm going to be featured in the magazine. I had my terms and conditions checked and adjusted by a lawyer, finally, and I got my book contract. I still can't believe I'm writing my own book. Oh my gosh, Natalia, and congratulations, because at the time this is coming out, you've written your book. So way to go. And I love all these little wins. You're celebrating so many different little things, and sometimes we just celebrate just getting back into the habit of something as a win, you know, and not going so behind. I'm really tired of hearing people to speed up on themselves, and because all you're doing is delaying the ability for you to do the thing that you want to do. Instead, celebrate what you did, what you are doing. Focus on that, because that is how you move things forward. You can't change the past. Lesley Logan 2:19  Our next win is from Bianca. She's an agency member, and she wrote, my corporate event retreat went well this past weekend, and one of the guys in the group said, I can finally feel my spine after the last class. My corporate clients are now interested in becoming a private client and wants to get back to practicing Pilates. Well, Bianca, way to be amazing. Way to be so great that you gave this person the feeling of their spine back. I mean, that is impressive, my dear. And isn't that so cool we get to do and change people's lives? So I just absolutely love reading that and hearing that and celebrating that with you. Lesley Logan 2:51  All right, my win. So here's the deal, I am back. So I got back from my trip with my mom and sister, only to be 48 hours from when this drops to leaving for LA for a week. And to be honest, I actually haven't spent a week in LA since we moved. You know, I've spent a couple of days here, one day here, maybe three days, but never, I don't think I've ever spent seven days. And that's what I'm doing. And so what I wanted to celebrate is that I'm actually so ready for that trip. Everything is planned out. The schedule is there. There's no rushing around trying to get things ready. I am ready for this trip. My schedule is going to allow me to take care of my clients, take care of my members, and get ready for this photo shoot that will be next weekend. And by ready, I mean, that's a fitness photo shoot, so it's like exercises. It's for the sixth deck. And so it's less about appearance and more about stamina and strength. But I just want to say I'm ready and that's a win. That is a win. And so I just want to share that being ready can be a win, just like doing all the things to get yourself set up for something. You know, we tend to focus on all the things that didn't go the way we expected. But actually, even in all of that, the fact that bags are packed, outfits are ready, equipment is ready to go in the van when Brad drives, we are ready for this is a testament to not rushing around and trying to fit in too much, too fast, and being present and celebrating wins when we've had them. You know, it's not that everything is great all the time. It's fucking not. There's a lot of crap going on. There are days when you own your own business where they start off with shit hitting the fan, and then you pull on that thread and it just unravels the entire sweater. And then you're like, well, this is not what I fucking had planned today, but to even have that and on top of it, stick to what is the goal here? What are we trying to do? That I could go on this week long stint in LA and continue to ready myself for the shoot? That's a win. It's super, I'm super excited. I'm so grateful for my team. I'm so grateful for the desire of so many of you to have this deck. I can feel your energy around it which makes me excited to go and shoot it in the first place. Lesley Logan 5:03  All right, let's get you that mantra so you can get on with your fabulous weekend. And the mantra is I welcome the wisdom that comes with growing older. I welcome the wisdom that comes with growing older. I welcome the wisdom that comes to growing older. Are you welcoming that wisdom? I hope so. Don't fight it. You're, so much good stuff coming as we go from day to day, right? You're learning from all the things you experienced. Lesley Logan 5:28  Thank you so much for listening. Thank you for sending your wins. And we want more. So send them on in so we can celebrate you, because you will hear them probably on a day that you're like, nothing's going, right? So send them into the Be It Pod, and until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 5:42  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It 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 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 0:46  Hi, Be It babe. How are you? Happy Friday. Okay, I'm just gonna be out for quick in case you missed last week's episode, these episodes are recorded in the past about the future, and so they do not necessarily embody exactly what's going on in the times of November 8th 2024 but they're wins. So you know what? In case it's a crappy day, let's focus on some of the good things that are going on around there. And if it's a great day, this is just going to be another great day waterfall for you. Lesley Logan 1:13  So our first win is from Heather Ingram. Heather is an eLevate grad and an agency member, and we just adore her. She's phenomenal. So small wins, finally getting back into Slack and making time to work on my business after juggling family situations all summer, just finished From Messy to Magnetic webinar, dug into the digital brand kit workbook resources Nadine shared and just got my results from her three-minute brand quiz, and I'm blown away with how spot on the results are and they align with my four core values I exercise from the biz retreat. The recommended brand kit is nailed me, my vibe to a tee, which I was struggling to show in my branding. Taking the one and a half hours today to dig into this has lit a fire to stop procrasti-branding, waffling about which color is in design and just take action. Thanks for this fab webinar. Heather, you are so welcome. Nadine, you guys, was a guest here on the Be It pod, Nadine Hanafi, and so I hope that this win from Heather, if you've been wondering if you should do work with Nadine, helps you go try out her quiz and just see what that's like. And also, to all of you, procrasti-branding is when you procrastinate on the other work you do to like diddle around with your colors and your fonts, because brand is a feeling. So thank you, Heather, your passion for Pilates is such a joy, and anything that helps you go out and shout from the rooftops who you are and what you rock at, I am all for and I am cosigning on. So huge high fives for you. Lesley Logan 2:40  All right, we have Christine Eschen, also an eLevate grad, and was Heather's partner in eLevate and an agency member. So I thought it'd be fun to share their wins together. So she wrote a day late here on my FYF wins, but here I am on a Saturday. Had a fantastic lavender retreat day last Sunday at my farm, and had the wonderful help of Lori. Lori Watson, oh, my God. We love her too. Loved having some agency and eLevate family here. Also had a fantastic quarterly call with LL last Thursday, finally, at a text with former student that said, oh, on my way out, I noticed this other Pilates studio down the street. Are they new? By the way, it is parked right outside of my target gated community. This easily could have turned into an I need a moment post, but I replied to my student she's close, but I will keep my abundance mindset, to which my student replied, you are amazing, Christine, calling in abundance. And so it is. I would be lying if I did not admit that I did actually have to give myself a pep talk afterwards about how worthy I am and that perhaps we both might be for different people. In that spirit, I was running errands today and stopped by this new studio, and her husband answered the front door, clearly trying to get ready, and I introduced myself and said I had a lavender farm and my own Pilates studio, and that I hoped she and I, a solo-produce, might find a way to collaborate or help each other. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that without the support of agency family and without LL and Brad, this might have gone differently and affected me much more. I wouldn't have believed that not everybody is for everybody, and that my people that are meant to be for me will not pass me by. Have a great weekend, everyone. XO, Christine. Oh my gosh. Christine, it's so hard when you're trying to make your magic happen and put yourself out there, and you've invested so much time and so much energy, and then while you're trying to build things up, someone else pops up, and it just can feel like a punch to the gut. But I think the way that you handled it is so beautiful, and whether or not they want to collaborate has nothing to do with you and reflects no way of anything about you. It reflects more on them. And you guys will find the right people for you, especially because you are going to keep going and putting yourself out there and sharing and shouting from the rooftops why you are amazing and how you help people, and you have that beautiful lavender farm for them to do Pilates at. So of course, you guys, if you live in Northern California, you should check out Christine. Lesley Logan 4:56  All right. My win. So as you are listening to this, I am already on an annual girls trip with my mom and my sister. The annual trip started last year, so we are two years in, and honestly, there's so many reasons why we could have not done this. My sister's trying to move. My mom was just in Cambodia. There's been a lot of travel. I have tons of things I could be doing to prepare because winter tour's around the corner, but, you know, taking this holiday weekend to spend with them and try to create a kind of tradition of sorts is really important, also because I don't get to spend my holidays with my family, so spending, I think it is, veterans weekend with my family, is a great way to kind of get Christmas in early and Thanksgiving at the same time. And also being in a fabulous hotel. When do you get to do that on a holiday? You don't. You're usually like in homes, you know, around a fireplace and kind of trying to squeeze everything in. And we just get to spread out and take time. And so I just share this as a win, because if you are thinking, oh, I need to see, I want to see my friends and my family more, but I have too much to do. I want you to know if you take the day off or two days off to spend it with them, that's a win, because there's always so many reasons why you can't and eventually get to the place where you don't have the energy stamina, you know, to do it, or people are gone, or things have changed, and so I'll meet you this next year. I hope so. Missing me the same place. I don't know. There's a lot of life that can happen between now and then, but I do love having this weekend with them and taking time to celebrate being present with them. And so yeah, that's my win, and it came with a lot of planning in the past for the future to make it happen. And sometimes that's how it goes. That's how it goes, love. So if you know you have a slow season, use that slow season to plan a trip away that's during your busy season, because you'll be glad you did. Lesley Logan 6:49  All right, loves, let me get you that mantra and then you're gonna get on with your weekend. My feelings deserve names, deserve recognition and deserve to be felt. My feelings deserve names deserve recognition and deserve to be felt. My feelings deserve names, deserve recognition and deserve to be felt. Yes, they do. You are amazing. Lesley Logan 7:07  I can't wait to hear your wins. Send them in to the Be It pod.

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 0:46  Hi, Be It babe. Welcome to your first FYF of November. We got a lot of Fridays in November, which is kind of cool. It means you have a lot of weekends, right? And I want to also say these are all being recorded before any big event happened, so if they seem like they don't follow the timeline, it's because they're being recorded in the past about the future. And I'll get into that because it's one of my wins. But let's get into your wins, and that's what we do here. Lesley Logan 1:11  So our first win is from Olivia Walton. She's one of our eLevate graduates in round two, and I just adore her. And also, congratulations on your wedding, Olivia. But she said, Susan and I had a great mini session together. End of my day teaching, beginning of her day teaching, who knew North Carolina and New Zealand time zones would work out so lovely. Thanks eLevate for bringing us together. So I love this win because it's a win about two people making time for themselves and each other, who, by the way, only know each other because they're both grads of elevate. Susan was in round one, Olivia's in round two. So there's so much in this that I love, because I hear all the time people saying, I just want community, I want support, but it requires you to participate in community and support, right? And also not being bothered when who you try to create community with doesn't vibe back, because it's not personal. They're in their own thing, and then moving forward, because you will find your people and so way to go, Olivia and Susan. You are just so freaking awesome. I'm so happy about that. Lesley Logan 2:09  Melissa Capitano is our next win. She is an eLevate grad as well. She's from round three. She's also one of our agency members, and she wrote yesterday, I taught a private session to a new client, just four privates so far. I started her with roll downs on the Cadillac. She could not keep her heels against the poles. I cued it, but she wasn't able. I said, no big deal. Let's do some other exercise and come back to it. We did footwork exercise in the C-Shaper, Elephant, Short Box on the Ladder Barrel, Leg Springs, and many more at the end. I said, okay, let's finish how we started. She was able to keep her heels on the poles. She said, how does it happen? I wanted to say it's because I'm amazing in training and I'm now an amazing instructor who can see what your body needs and can pick exercises that teach it. But I said something like you did other exercises that showed your body how to make the connections it needs either way, I think it's a win. So Melissa, I am so obsessed that your eLevate training has come in so handy, and that you're using it, you clearly are using it, and that you, you know, asked what you wanted, you didn't get it. Instead of harping on it, you gave the client what their body needed. And then I also love that you went back to see what happened. How cool is that? And I love that she got to see that too. The ownership in her body is as much the win as it is you picking the exercise she needs. So yes, you had an amazing training, but also you were implementing that training in your own way, and that is what I think is the most beautiful win. So thank you for sharing that with us. Lesley Logan 3:30  All right, my win. One of the things that I've mentioned as a win before is just the team has been really good at helping me set myself up for success when it comes to these busy seasons. And so as you're hearing this, I've been home in the States for almost two full weeks. But it's not like I'm just here, you know, we're actually getting ready for the next thing and the next thing. And so my team and I were able to really think things through so many months ago to go, okay, what has to happen November? If, when would that normally happen in October? How can we make that happen in the summer? And so here I'm sitting with you, and I am able to support all of the different parts of the business that I'm in charge of without going, oh my god, oh my god. Because one of the things that drives me crazy is, when you're on vacation, worried about when you get back from vacation, how it's going to be. I've really been trying to practice being present. I'm an Aquarius guys. It's so freaking hard. It's really, really hard. So that has been tremendous. Has been a huge, huge win. It's just all the efforting in the past that's allowed me to be present in this present. Lesley Logan 4:35  The other win I want to just share is that this entire year, I've been percolating on some major changes, and the win is that I'm not worried about those changes anymore. Doesn't mean that they're going to go smooth. Doesn't mean I've even implemented them, not even sure when I'm going to do that, but just getting to the point where I can percolate and think and even try out and think out different ideas without worry and fear, without the upper limiting problem that I have. That's huge. That is a win, and I want to share that with you, because I don't think we give ourselves enough credit for when we kind of not grow up, but we don't let the things that normally make us scared when that no longer scares us like we should celebrate, holy moly, because you'd work to get there right? The work I had to do was acknowledge I am worrying about things I cannot control instead of focusing on the things that I can. And so by not having that worry, I've been able to really play out some of my wonders. What would have me do this? What if we do it like this? What if we make this change? How does that stay in alignment? So it's a little esoteric of a win. It's not something super specific. I can't share it with you yet, but it'll eventually come out. And I just want you to know that it took me a long time to get here. I definitely had some tears the first time I thought about making these changes and lost sleep over it. And now I'm at a place where I'm like, these will make things better for everybody. And how can we make the changes in a way that honors everybody in the best way and honors our values? So to be there and ditch the upper limiting, oh, I just feel, feel good about it. If you're one about upper limiting as make sure you check out Episode 400 with Gay Hendricks and get his book The Big Leap. Lesley Logan 6:10  All right. Time for your mantra because that's how we wrap up these episodes. So here it is. There is strength in the quiet. There is vulnerability in being loud. There is strength in the quiet. There is vulnerability in being loud. There is strength in the quiet. There is vulnerability in being loud. Oh, my dears. I hope that mantra gets you through this weekend, and I know there's a lot of uncertainty going on in the world, make sure you focus on what you can control. All right, it's very important. It's very important that you do that. Have an amazing day and until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 6:48  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast. One thing that would help both myself and future listeners is for you to rate the show and leave a review and follow or subscribe for free wherever you listen to your podcast.

Send us a textHot on the heels of Saint and Jim's controversial food takes last week, this edition of FYF digs through the Trick or Treat bag, and throws back to the halcyon haunts of history's Halloweens — before our boys' pancreases declared mutiny on their glucose levels. The topic? Candy. Which sugary nuggets from your repurposed pillowcases were trash, and which were treasure? Are you more of a sucker for Snickers, or bonkers for a Butterfinger? Are two Twix better than one KitKat? Will you trade us two Almond Joys for a Reese's? And who's eating the Circus Peanuts? Let's all use our sweet tooth to dig into some treat truth, and break down the best and worst of your begged-for bon-bons.    

Send us a textThere are a lot of weird quirks inherent to being human. Everyone has different fashion sense, different thought processes, and a different worldview. But one of the biggest things that truly makes us all individual? Our palates. One person's yum is another's yuck when it comes to all things food. On this edition of FYF, Saint and Jim break down controversial food opinions, e.g. — Does cilantro taste like soap to you? What are your feelings on tomatoes? Does pineapple belong on pizza? What's the most repulsive food in the world, and why is it mayonnaise? Plus, all the news that's fit to nerd. Eat up!   

It's Friday, and Lesley is back with another round of inspiring wins—from setting boundaries to making time for friendships. In this week's Fuck Yeah Friday episode, Lesley highlights community stories that show the power of connection and being intentional with your time. She also shares her own win: carving out time for meaningful friendships, even with a packed schedule.

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 0:46  Hi, Be It babe. Oh my gosh, I'm coming into this FYF after having just two epic interviews, like, just so freaking great. So you know, part of my wins are just that I'm like, loving the guests that we're attracting for this podcast. They're just freaking phenomenal, making me be a better interviewer. For sure. I'm having to learn a lot really fast. But, first, we obviously share your wins, then we share a win of mine and a little mantra. So this one is from Jennifer L., Jennifer Lapina. She is an eLevate member of mine, so at this point she'll have graduated from round four, and she says happy to be enjoying my North Carolina home, sitting on my French porch, listening to the birds, crickets and frogs, watching the fireflies as I type. This evening, met virtually with Yasmine in Germany and she helped me overcome my spine extension anxiety, and I'm thrilled to be working out with my instructor of 15 years, Amanda, at Core Integrity Greensboro. She's an amazing instructor and friend and her feedback has been invaluable to my practice. I'm playing around with all of her classical equipment (inaudible), especially loving the foot corrector and the high chair, and Amanda and I are swapping private. So that's a win-win. Finalize the details to co-host my first retreat on the island of Crete in October, and I'm happy to meet up with more of you virtually now that I'm on the eastern side of the world and my summer schedule. And I'm finally feeling a connection to my seat on a daily basis. I mean, just love those wins. Jennifer's like, little wins each and every time. And like, also some of those wins are after, like, working towards those things. So I also just want to say, how cool is it? You had a teacher for 15 years and now you're teaching her. Congratulations. So, so, so stoked for you. So thank you for sharing that. Lesley Logan 2:29  Okay, we have one more win. I want to share this, but it's also from eLevate round four person. You know, we truly love, love, love, love, our eLevators. It's one of my favorite things that I get to do. This is by Ainsley Walker. I looked at my new schedule for September, and I realized I have more duets than ever. It's what Brad advised on our one-to-one. I have eight. I have reduced my mat classes to five weekly sessions, and the remainder 50% are one-to-ones. I'm happy with that as I realize it's what I have nurtured to happen with the teaching confidence gained from this group. I still find duets harder than one-to-ones and I'm figuring it out and playing with them to discover how it can be easeful. I'm comfortable being uncomfortable in that. I've moved my advanced client for two hours working through all her reformer headstand moves. I had the posters and the flashcards, and it was so fun seeing a body in front of me doing the moves that hopefully will be in my practice in the future. I stood strong on my price raises, even when questioned, I smile with confidence and it enabled me to keep doing what I am doing, not become overworked and put my clients first as a priority. Everyone understood and I got incredible feedback from a new client who seems to be getting, doing the rounds of the reformer (inaudible) saying that my class was the best, had the most impact on her body with simple instructions and simple-wise, it all made sense. Ainsley, I'm just like in awe of these. I just want to say thank you. Thank you for sharing this with us. Thank you for celebrating the wins of your clients, but also of yourself. And it takes time to stand in your worth and know that, and also to really make sure that prioritizing yourself helps you prioritize them. So congratulations, and all those works of like makes you imagine and change in the schedule so they can be what you want it to be, so you can show up as your best self. So thank you so much. Lesley Logan 4:13  All right, you guys, my win. So I think I've shared this at the beginning of the year, that I want to be more intentional with my friendships. And I started this year off with having a couple days with a staycation with friends, and then it's actually been a really difficult trying to, because I'm also trying to, like, make friends in my town. Not that I don't have friends, because they're probably listening. Hi, guys! But like, having, like, friends who understand the work that I do, and just being more intentional with that. And this week that you're listening to this, I'm seeing two friends who don't live near me, because I actually was able, Brad and I were able to make it a point to stay in LA an extra day on our way home from Thailand and Cambodia to celebrate a 50th birthday of a friend. And next week, when I get home, I get to celebrate another friend's 50th birthday. And so, you know, I think the win is that sometimes it can be kind of like focusing, like I gotta make more friends here, and in trying to make more time for friendships, I've just made more time for the friendships that I have. And I can look back at this year and see there's been a lot of in-person connections with the people I've loved for many, many years. It came from intentionality. And last week's win was on intentionality. This week's win is on intentionality. And so maybe it's a theme for this month. I don't know. We'll see, but I just want to share that I'm just really so freaking stoked for myself as you listen to this, I'll be flying back from Thailand to spend the day with one friend at a spa in LA so we can celebrate another friend's birthday, and none of us live in the same town. And no, it's not easy. It took work. It took a lot of extra work. It means recording FYFs and podcasts in advance. It means being extremely planned ahead. But so I could have this win, worth all the extra planning. Worth all of it. Worth all of it. Lesley Logan 6:01  Okay, let me leave you with a mantra for your weekend. Are you ready for it? When I root into the earth, the earth rises to support me. Oh, that's so good. When I root into the earth, the earth rises to support me. When I root into the earth, the earth rises to support me. All right, love, go celebrate your wins. Send them in to us. We'd love to celebrate them with you, and until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 6:24  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Send us a textA bit of trivia: did you know that the largest toy distributor in the world is way better known for selling billions of burgers? The humble McDonald's Happy Meal has been a staple of American kids' diets for decades. But as much as everyone loves McNuggets and fries, the real appeal of those brightly-colored little boxes has always been the plaything inside. Whether you preferred Barbies, Hot Wheels or Beanie Babies, there was always something cool in there to help fill up our toy box. In this edition of FYF, Saint and Jim take a look back at some of the best, worst, weirdest and most collectible Happy Meal toys of the last 50 years.

Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:46  Hey, Be It babe, how are you? Oh, my God. How excellent is this? How exciting is it? It's Friday. You made it. You did it. I'm so happy that you're here. Thank you for letting us be in your ears as you kick off the weekend. And if you listen to this on a different day, hey, thanks for letting us be in your ears. This is the episode that is short and sweet, and it's celebrating your wins, wins from listeners. It's in a minute. A win of mine and it serves to remind us that, like even life's life in there's some good stuff going on, right? There's some things to celebrate and these little things add up. They really, really do. So let's kick off your wins first. Lesley Logan 1:17  So this is from Christine Eschen. She is an eLevate grad and also one of our agency members, and she wrote a day late on the FYF, but here it goes. Thanks to LL, my last two clients that late canceled I held to my boundaries and charged them. I had LL in my head saying, you teach people how to treat you. Went live on Facebook and had one of my clients comment how much I have helped her and changed her life. Made me feel so good. Texted a client today to remind her to remind her to book another appointment next week as my schedule is getting full, and she did so and bought a 10-pack, which makes this a record month for my studio. Still need more to pay the bills, but hey, I'm happy my other win is thank you, LL, for creating this community. I love all my agency peeps. Okay, Christine is proof that there's like these little wins that happen in there all the time. They're always happening, like receiving a compliment is a win. It's a win. How cool, right? So, so, so cool. So, way to go. Christine, thank you for taking us on this journey, and also congrats on your record month. That's so big. That's so awesome. Yeah, I hope there's always more to make. There's always more to do. So taking and basking in that this is the best you've done. You've been doing, you were starting on your own with nothing like with no clients like this is a big deal, you know. So thank you for sharing that with us. Lesley Logan 2:29  All right. Tania Tsiora, she's an agency member, and she wrote this week, wrote and sent the ninth newsletter, and received feedback by several clients. It was about how to find a hobby. Compared to previous years, July is much better. Actually, after a long time there's revenue growth, giving a mat workshop in studio in two weeks, it's almost full. I had my first performance on contemporary dance. It was amazing. So important to do other things apart from Pilates. Tania also had another win. So I'm going to just put it in here. She put two more new clients this week and nice people, excited about tomorrow's mat workshop. Love the preparation with my colleague. I got a proposal to go two times per week to give a mat class in a gym. Yes, I want to teach also elsewhere and meet new people and make an impact. I have to go outside of my studio more often. One more person register for the retreat. Yes. Okay, so do you see all these little wins in here? Like she's celebrating being consistent with her newsletter, and like people are telling her they're reading it, and she had her best month compared to previous July's. And she also has a workshop that's almost full. And someone set up for, like, there's these little wins that happen and you know, it's so easy to focus on oh my God what can I tell you? So there's like, a thing in my in my work, that just broke again, that out of her control. If I was Tania, I could go, oh, this thing isn't working. Instead of focusing like, Oh, my God, I've had one more person sign up for this thing. So thank you, Tania, for showing us, reminding us the little things that we can be celebrating. Lesley Logan 3:51  All right, let's talk about one of my wins. So I'm on vacation. That's a win, and I know that that sounds like another big win. Like with last week, it's like she's just winning. No, let me be really honest, we almost canceled this vacation. You know, there's those days you have in your life when you're like, going, I don't know, we probably shouldn't be gone that much longer. I mean, it's another eight days where we're hiring a dog sitter, and then there's the hotels, and then there's these extra flights and all that, all these things. I just put my foot down. I was like, I want a vacation. Want a vacation. Us taking a vacation is a huge win, because there's always more work to do. There's always more work. I have tons to do for this podcast, but we're celebrating the wins worth making. And this win is from an action we took months ago. And actually, a lot of the wins you'll have are from things you did before. And so thanking yourself and having gratitude for the things that you did before that set you up for the win today is something I hope you make a habit out of, because it does make life really a lot more fun. So I'm celebrating that Brad and I are in Thailand, and we're having a great time.Lesley Logan 4:59  All right now, let's get that mantra to you because those sometimes you're like, I just need something to think about this weekend as I go through whatever you're going through. I welcome what is. I welcome what comes. Oh, some of you hate that one, but guess what? Maybe it's a medicine you need. I welcome what is. I welcome what comes. Say it with me. I welcome what is. I welcome what comes. All right, loves. You are amazing. Thank you so much for being a listener of the Be It podcast. Please share this with a friend. Share the interviews or share the recaps.

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 0:46  All right, Be It babe. How are you? How are you? Happy, happy first Friday of October. I am in Cambodia when you hear this and that'll be in my win in a second. But just in case, it's the first episode of the Be It Pod you've ever heard, this is a short one, because we do your wins, win of mine and a little mantra, and it is to remind us that there's good things happening, right? Like, as I record this right now, there are 17 things that went wrong today, all out of my control, and to be honest, makes me go, you know, I'm thinking, I'm just gonna hang today up, just gonna hang it up. But also there's good stuff, and I think that's what's most important about taking time, at least on Fridays, to go FYF, here is a win for me today. So let's start with yours, and we'll get into mine. Lesley Logan 1:32  I'm going to do Stacey Extence. I'm, I think we had a win from her recently, but I just want to, I'm really excited for this win for her, so I want to get this in here. My win is big and lengthy, so apologies. And by the way, it's not lengthy enough, to be honest, Stacey, so no apologies necessary. I've been in my corporate job for 24 years on top of Pilates part-time for three years. For the past decade or so, I worried about being laid off, which is one reason I did teacher training. In June, I received an email letting me know I could participate in a voluntary severance package. No guarantee that I get it, but I pushed the button to apply and left it up to fate. I received notice Wednesday that I was accepted and will be leaving in a month. I am not sad to leave. There are so many reasons I believe I'm ready. They're giving me a nice package and opens the door for so many other things to grow. Stacey, I'm so happy for you. I mean, gosh, 10 years of work and you're gonna get fired at any moment, is so stressful, and I love that you just put it out there, like, yeah, let's see if this happens. And I'm this is a huge win, because you get to go try something new, and that's so scary, but also so exciting. It's not even new, you've been teaching already. You're an excellent teacher. I've known you for a lot of those 10 years, and I'm just so freaking excited to celebrate this with you. Lesley Logan 2:40  We also have a couple from Katie, so I'm going to read them both. Katie is an agency member, just like Stacey and she wrote, my entire month of July is booked, so obviously (inaudible) but here we go, except today, because everyone took a long fourth holiday but I used the time to film three classes. Getting ready to start at a new studio in the fall now that my four year old is going to preschool longer, I've got a few pop-ups scheduled and for the new place this summer, and I've already booked some spots. I love the pace I've been growing at since Piper was born four years ago, and I left teaching high school to be a stay-at-home mom and focus on Pilates. It started with four hours a week, then five, then eight, and now I'm at 10. It's so important to look back and realize I'm doing it. And I raised my prices. Love that one. Then we have an update to this. It says, from Katie Donnelly, this week, I subbed at a studio I taught at from 2017 to 2020. I left, I left because of a new baby, pandemic, 30-minute commute, so good terms. Some old clients saw my name and signed up for class, even though they normally don't take it that time, one even asked what springs I had her on for short spine because, with your cueing, that was the best short spine I've ever done. My client who lost her daughter at 22 weeks in November of 22 had her rainbow baby last week. I (inaudible) her via text message, because I was on vacation. These are my favorite moments in my job. Katie Donnelly, so okay, you guys, I'm gonna go back four years. I remember her being pregnant, and like making this plan to switch from having this school job to having teaching as a job. And it is incredible to see how she's made it work with her dreams. And that doesn't mean it's easy, by the way, like if you're hearing this, cool, must be nice for her, it's she worked hard for it. And I'm not saying that you don't if you're listening to this. I'm saying, like, patience, rolling with it, getting curious, getting support. Both these people had support during these big transitions, and so these wins are humongous. But also, do you see the little wins in between acknowledging what they've done and celebrating, like, the small stuff? Because you gotta do that, y'all, gotta do that. Lesley Logan 4:42  All right, a win of mine. So we are, this is (inaudible) a big win, because it is a big win, but we are starting kicking off our biggest retreat ever in Siem Reap and we're gonna have our biggest retreat ever, March of 2020 and obviously we had a few people drop out. We couldn't cancel the retreat, because no one would call it a pandemic. So we, no one's insurance would go in, so nor would ours. So we actually had to host it, and we had an amazing retreat. And what a family that was. I got to see some of those retreaters on the tour this summer, but this is our first retreat Since 2020 that is at capacity, and we're actually celebrating with some people, like, my mom's coming for the first time, my brother's coming. Our publicist is coming. Like, it's a really big party. We have a whole, a group of people who have all come together. They're related, they're best friends. It's just really amazing. And so this win is actually a culmination of a lot of little wins along the way of us just continuing to go and be consistent and showing up for what we know is best, and like relearning and learning and adjusting and making changes and so Brad and I are really excited as we get ready for everyone to arrive. And actually a lot of people arrived a day early. We are celebrating and basking in, this win is huge and we don't normally want to promote only the big wins, but I do mean it when I say it's a culmination of a lot of little wins we celebrate along the way, and every single day will be a celebration. And I think that's really cool. That's really fun. And I'm excited, and I'm excited because several of you are with me on this retreat. You're part of this win, and some of you are going to be with us on the February retreat because we'll keep doing this. So anyways, I hope to see you on a retreat. We definitely talk a lot about celebrating our wins and being present and breath work and mindset and manifestation and all this awesome stuff, and we see some cool temples along the way. But yeah, that's my win this week. I think it's good to celebrate the big ones every once in a while, especially when you work so hard to get there. But if you don't have a big win coming together just yet, like Katie did, or the close of a chapter, like Stacey did, or like our retreat, please remember that those small wins, like I slept in or I didn't scream at my dog for doing the wrong thing because he's a puppy and doesn't know better. Like those, those are all wins, and you can celebrate those, too and I want to hear them, so make sure you send them in to the Be It Pod so we can shout them out to you, because by the time you hear them, you might just need to be reminded that you had a win last week or last month or whatever. Lesley Logan 7:10  All right, so now let me lead you to a little mantra to kick off your weekend. I'm going to use this one too. All right, today I celebrate that I'm younger than I'm ever going to be. You guys, I pull these out randomly. Today I celebrate that I'm younger than I'm ever going to be. Today I celebrate I'm younger than I'm ever going to be. Y'all cannot at all once today say I'm getting old, because today you are the youngest you will ever be, and we're celebrating that. You are awesome. And thank you for listening to the Be It Pod. Until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 7:42  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

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 0:46  Hello, Be It babe, welcome to your final Friday of September. Oh my gosh, we made it. We did it. We're here. And what does that mean? Q4 is around the corner and this is the chaotic months, and this is the months you're gonna forget to celebrate your wins. In fact, you're gonna stop listening to the things that support you, and you're gonna get a little bit crazy and chaotic and I'm gonna encourage you to keep, keep doing the things that make you feel like a human, because you will feel like a human on the other side of this. Just because it's chaotic and crazy and demanding of a Q4 does not mean you can't feel good while doing it. Just saying. So, on these FYF episodes, these Fuck Yeah Fridays, I share some wins of yours. I share a win of mine. And then we have a little mantra, and we take on the weekend, right?Lesley Logan 1:32  All right. Tania Tsiora, an agency member, wrote, one more person registered for my retreat. We organized in October. I prepared everything for the second workshop, Welcome to Pilates, I give tomorrow in the studio. Let's see some newbies. And I finished writing June's newsletter. It is, of course, about the retreat, which will be sent out on the sixth. Hugs, everyone. Oh, my God, Tania, yes, that is a major, look at all these wins. Celebrating that you got a new signup, celebrating that you've already got everything prepped for the weekend workshop, and celebrating that you did the newsletter. You know, I think so often we have things that come up on our to-do list, and we do them. We totally do them, but we don't always celebrate that we did them. We're like, just move on to the next thing. We just move on to the next thing. And that, my loves, is such a bummer. So thank you, Tania, for sharing that with us. Lesley Logan 2:18  All right, Natalia, she wrote, my landing page, my book, which will be released in September, is live, and it is wandpilates.de. Oh my gosh. If someone had told me last year that I'd be invited on TV several times this year and write a book, I would have thought they were crazy. I'm feeling so excited, scared and grateful at the same time. It is unbelievable. I'm looking forward to everything that comes. Natalia, you wrote a book, you've been on TV, you did all of these things in a year. I just love this one so much, because you guys, she didn't go into the year knowing she'd be on TV. She didn't go into the year knowing she's going to write a book. Sometimes we're like, okay, I'm going to write a book this year. I'm gonna do this and like, we just like, there's no surprise. And she had so many surprises, and she is rolling with those surprises. She was so present. So congratulations, Natalia, on writing the book, but also on celebrating the landing page is ready like again, there's wins so we can celebrate along the way to a big goal. And I love helping remind you of that each and every day. Lesley Logan 3:18  All right, my win. So here it is, my sleep scores for my Oura ring are insane. They're insane. They're absolutely amazing. Is not a fluke that they're insane. It has been months of this, and so I've been celebrating them along the way with, I'll tell you. So the first two nights amazing sleep. I celebrated with my FemGevity doctor. Then I was celebrating with, like, all of the people, anyone who listened to me. I'm like, look at my sleep score. Look at the sleep score. Look at this one. And then I was like, looking at the deep sleep and the REM cycle sleep. And like watching it each and every night get a little bit better and a little bit better. And the reason I'm celebrating my sleep is, you guys, we need to sleep. We're supposed to sleep a third of our life, and we need more sleep. Sometimes we think, and some of us have convinced ourselves we need less sleep, and that's fine. I'm not saying you need eight hours. I don't get that. I do really, really well with seven. Seven is awesome. If I get seven and a half, it's even better. But seven is like a sweet spot for me, and I've been sleeping through the night, and so I'm celebrating that, because all of this is efforting come to fruition. Efforting in first doing things like creating a sleep routine that worked for me. Then it was like a morning routine that helped me set up for a better night's sleep that night. Then it was getting my hormones checked so I could help me sleep. Then it's getting my gut checked that can help me sleep. All these just different things I've been trying to do to come together and I'm sleeping, and it is great. And so if all you can recognize of yourself today is that you were sleeping and drinking enough water, you slayed. You have so many wins. That's two wins. That's amazing. It's amazing. So go celebrate that. Lesley Logan 4:50  Send in your wins to the Be It Pod because we can celebrate you here, and you can then hear this win in your ear when you are probably on a day when you need it, like I just need a win right now. Now you're here in the exact right moment. I'm going to remind you of all the things you're awesome at. So what are your wins? We want to hear them. Make sure you share with a friend. It helps take those negative Nellies and turn them into people who celebrate some wins. Lesley Logan 5:11  And our mantra for the weekend is I breathe in healing. I exhale the painful things that burden my heart. I breathe in healing. I exhale the painful things that burden my heart. I breathe in healing. I exhale the painful things that burden my heart. My love, breathe in healing and exhale the painful things that burden your heart. You are amazing. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 5:37  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

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 0:46  Hi, Be It babe. How are you? Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It podcast, where we are going to discuss your wins and one of mine, and remind ourselves that there are ways that we could be celebrating more than we are doing in this world to be it till you see it, which means taking the step while you're scared and doing the best you can and not being so hard on yourself. So let's start with your wins. We have Mary Dellanina. Past few weeks of wins. Here we go. Kelly and I had let me know about being on the FYF pod, the only one I hadn't listened to, and I needed it just then. Thanks, LL. So little pause, guys. What that meant is I actually had shared one of Mary's wins in an episode, and she got to hear her win again and relive that win, which is so needed, because sometimes you're like, nothing's going right, and then you remember some things were going right back then. So there you go. So that is exactly why you want to send your wins in. So thank you, Kelly, for telling Mary about it. All right, back to Mary. I needed a reminder from February to keep my head up as the studio is a little emptier in July, I wrote a newsletter about sharing our wins, and it was fun to see people write back about their weekly wins. Way to go. I love that. I love that you had your people, Sarah, their wins too. This is so fun. Met Kelly and I hand to work on her website. Gave me a break as I have a stress fracture on my left foot, to reach out to other instructors and try to stay sane as I don't, I can't do my cardio, I love my bike ride in the summer. I took a class with an instructor I met through LL, winter tour years ago, she opened a new studio. It's fun to see what she's been going on with a lovely day. Really working on my Pilates self-practice as I can't do my pickleball or biking, making time to write my newsletters during classes that I had to cancel due to low turnout. A few folks in my membership have been giving me frustrated vibes this week, and I probably kindly, yes, it is usually user error, but treating them with kindness does help. I told my clients that I'm not making any decisions regarding moving for at least a year. This also helped me know that I have a timeline that is not immediate. My young gals in my entrepreneur group, so they are so impressed I continue to see coaching at my age. I'm not dead yet at 59. Mary, there are so many wins here, and I just want to highlight a couple things, you guys. So it is the summer, and she is using these empty hours to get ahead on some things, to help other people out, because then you'll get to see, like, how awesome you are at something, and also to take the head on some things that you'd have to do. So she's not doing them on other hours. She's also taking care of herself, even though she's injured. Huge, huge, huge. Finding ways to work around an injury is a big deal. That's a win. And also, you know, it is a win to be kind and also honest with people when they're screwing some things up. I love that, Mary. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. Lesley Logan 3:31  Jennifer Hildebrandt, she's an agency member, and here is her win. My win. After months, more accurately, years, of hemming, hawing, fawning, fretting and procrastinating, I finally sent out a letter to all my Zoom students who I've been teaching online since March 2020 informing them my rate increase, schedule changes and cancelation policy effective August 1st. In a panic, when the pandemic hit, I slashed my prices and eliminated my cancelation policy and literally, literally had no boundaries around my schedule. And I haven't changed any of that all these years. Resentment, shame and embarrassment, along with a host of other thoughts and feelings, have been building up inside me. I was at a boiling point. Something had to be done. I got some great feedback from members, as well as some really helpful video responses from LL about how to approach this, which helped fortify my courage, gave me direction and motivated me to park my ass and write the damn letter. I took so many deep breaths, held myself in grace, compassion, understanding throughout the process, and then I hit send. I was filled with relief and peace that knowing that this act was a huge step and align my work with my life, I am so grateful, the strong, supportive energy of this group which helped me through this challenge. Way to go, Jennifer. You guys, sometimes you spend so much time thinking about the conversation you have to have with someone that you forget you create all the stress. You create all this worry. You create all the stories in your head. You got to know that as soon as you actually have the conversation, confrontation, you will have a huge flood of peace and relief because you said the thing, you did the thing, you took the step. So take the step. Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing your step with us so we can all celebrate that with you and be inspired by you. Some of you are gonna write a letter today. Lesley Logan 5:16  All right guys, my win, eLevate round four has wrapped. Now, it doesn't mean it's goodbye from these amazing humans that I've been able to teach for the last nine months. It is actually like you've graduated and now you're with the alumni, and we can continue to chat and answer questions and support you. And it's just really cool. This is a really cool time. And when every eLevate round starts, it is overwhelming. People are at all different levels. They're all different confidence levels, all different practice levels, all different levels of understanding what Pilates is, and it is really fun for me to help them find trust in their practice and trust in their bodies and trust in their method and to prioritize themselves, and so congratulations, round four, you are epic humans, and I am so, so, so grateful that you trusted me in your journey. Thank you for letting me share what my mentor passed along to me with you so that you can continue to pass it on to your students. And it's not over, because now you're in the alumni and now you can come to the alumni retreat, and when that, and also some of the stuff that we learn takes years to kind of come into your body, takes time, you know. So I'm so, so, so, so, so grateful, and I'm so proud of you, and it's a win for me, because honestly, when we created eLevate, I was like, does anyone want this? Is this something people are going to need? Am I going to like doing it? And I do, I love doing it. I absolutely love doing it. And I created a program that changes people's lives that I love doing and I think we all need to know that you can create things that support and have amazing impact on people that align with your work and your values and your needs and your goals. So that is a huge win. Get a few months off of actually, like eLevate-ish stuff we do quarterly calls and things like that. But round five will start in January. So in January, you'll hear a win that I'm celebrating round five kicked off. Because, yes, it is a win, even if I do it every January. And if you are a teacher who's interested in eLevate, you can reach out to us. If there's spots left in 2025 we'd love to chat with you about it and go to lesleylogan.co/elevate.Lesley Logan 7:34  All right, let me leave you with your mantra. Remember, these are random. I just scroll on down and see which one pops out, and it is, I am in charge of how I feel and I choose to feel happy. I am in charge of how I feel and I choose to feel happy.

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 guests 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 0:46  Hey, Be It babe. Welcome back to your FYF. It's our third episode of the week is always a win week. And the reason is, is because in being it till we see it is not about only celebrating when we get to where we're gonna go. It is celebrating things along the way. And some of those things are gonna seem really huge, and some of those things will seem really small. Some of those things are gonna be like, that's a win? And we're gonna be like, yeah, it is. So today is September 13th and we've got some wins of yours to share. So let's get into it. Lesley Logan 1:13  So from Melissa Capitano, she's an Agency member and eLevate grad, she put I shared part of this on the group call but it's getting even better. I have three clients who are just loving that I'm teaching classical Pilates. If you haven't done eLevate yet, it's a game changer. Two, Karen and Wes are private-only clients and work with both me and another teacher. Both have decided that they want to learn the sequence and the exercises and see and feel their progress. I felt like I couldn't give, have given them that before. It actually worked well because the other teacher lets them stretch and works with them on balance and coordination and more contemporary Pilates. Karen is coming four times a week now. The other client, Monica, takes classes, mat and equipment, and does two privates per month with me. Karen and Monica bought the Reformer Flashcards and study them. And Monica even talked her sister into buying the cards. Karen told me she watches Lesley's videos while she pays bills and stuff. Melissa, this is so special. You guys, if you're a Pilates instructor, you need to hear this. And if you're not and you're a client, then you could be Karen and Monica, right? But we think that people want to be entertained and we think that they aren't going to be as into the exercises as we are, but they are. They absolutely are. They're so wonderful. And I'm so, so proud of these ladies and I love that they like watch the videos while paying their bills and doing things. They're like taking time to learn their Pilates outside. That is so fun. Thank you so much for doing eLevate, Melissa, that was I'm so glad you did. And anyone who's interested in eLevate, if you want to have clients like this, you gotta reach out, see if there's room in 2025. This other one is from Andrea Maida. She is a dear friend of mine. We do a lot of YouTube collabs together and she wrote, "My wins are an amazing 6 a.m. Reformer workout with friends, booking plans for August and October and a clean bedroom. You guys, let Andrea Maida's wins show you that you can call a workout at 6 a.m. a win, a workout could be a 3 p.m. and a win, and that making plans for the future is also a win, especially if you're someone who doesn't always do that, right? So oh, I just love that so much, Andrea. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your wins with us today. You guys, send your wins in and I will share them on an episode. And the thing is, you'll probably hear them after the win has been passed for a while, and so then you get to relive your win. And it might just happen on a day that you need it, that you just really need it. Okay, so here's my win. I didn't kill my plant. It's a big deal for me. It's a really big deal. So I'm trying to get into having plants that stay alive because I really like the look of plants, and I really like how beautiful they are, and I want more plants in my life. I just have always loved rooms that have plants, you have better air. But I want this plant, and I don't really know the name of it but it's got pink and green leaves, and I really liked the look of it, and I put it in this really cute pot, and I want it to be in my office, so I have all this like, disco stuff. That's a, it's a pot that's got like, disco glass on it, right? And so I put it in my office, where it hits the light the first half of the day, and it just looks so beautiful. And it started like the leaves went from being up and beautiful to, like, sad. So I had someone look at it, and she's like, I think you should just water it a little bit more, because when leaves are like that, they need to be watered more. And I'll say, I watered it more, and in 24 hours, it looked a little better. And then I was like, you know, someone told me this plant also needs just like more light, even though this window technically is facing the east and technically should be getting light for the first half of the day. My office isn't that bright. Maybe it's not bright enough. So I put this beautiful plant in the bathroom where we have lights that keep our plants alive, because there's no windows in this bathroom. And after two days in there, she is happy as a clam. She's got new growth, she is ready. She is loving life. And so I'm so happy because I saw that she was sick, I asked for help, and then I stayed curious, and she is alive, and she is not in the room I want, so I have to go get another pot and a different plant. But I didn't kill her, and she looks beautiful in her new home, in the back part of the house. And I will have to just get another plant. And now I'll have two plans that I get to keep alive. And if you're like, Lesley, this is just really like, this is not a win. This is lame. My friend, you are not giving yourself enough credit in this world. And I'm going to call you out, this is a total win. I've never kept a plant alive in my life, and I'm really, really proud of this. And everything can't be so serious and hard all the time. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to be super, super aware and on top of things and all this stuff and like we just have to be everything all the time to all the people that actually doesn't like lead to a wonderful life, nor does it allow you to have fun and be present. And we have an episode coming out about female burnout because we're so hard on ourselves. So I am sharing this win that I kept plants alive to hopefully help you chuckle a little bit and think about all the plants you've kept alive. Or maybe it goes help makes you want to go buy a plant and try to keep one alive. Or maybe you've kept a pet alive. That's a big deal. Good job. Pat yourself on the back. You are doing great work. That's what this episode about, to remind you you're doing amazing things. Lesley Logan 6:16  All right. Your mantra for the weekend is my perspective is unique and important. My perspective is unique and important. My perspective is unique and important. I love that your perspective is unique and you are important. Thank you so much.

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach.

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.Hi, Be It babe. Happy September. How are you? First Friday of September. What a fun day. I'm sure somewhere where you live, there might be a First Friday event. Have you seen those? They're really great ways to get in your community and get to know people. What is this episode about? Well, this is the FYF, meaning, Fuck Yeah, Friday meaning, let's celebrate some wins along the way. So can you celebrate a win when you complete a project? Absolutely, you may even hear me say that. Can you celebrate a win that's just like a moment of oh my god, that actually went really, really well? Yes, you can. And that's what we talk about a lot. So I share wins of yours that you send me, and I share a win of mine, and I leave you with a fun little mantra. So let's get into it. Our first FYF is from Katie Donnelly. Okay, I had a lot of fear stepping into this title. All my greatest hits of who am I to claim this title? I don't know enough, what if I'm seen as wrong, but I took the first step and check it out. Katie Donnelly has launched the website, thepilatesdoula.com. Congratulations, Katie, and thank you for sharing those greatest hits because it definitely makes all of us like, do you do that listener? Like, my love, do you ever go like, who am I? I shouldn't be doing this. Someone else should be doing this. Oh, like, we're looking for permission to be amazing when you already are. And Katie Donnelly is amazing. She actually did a wonderful workshop for us over on onlinepilatesclasses.com which is a pre and postnatal workshop. And, holy moly, I'm not someone who's having children in my life, but I am making every one of my friends who's getting pregnant watch that course. So it's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Thank you, Katie, for letting us celebrate this big moment with you. And also, you guys, just want to say, I checked out her website. Okay? And just two days before (inaudible) she bought the URL. So the website right now is just a website with just a beautiful picture and ways to get in touch with her. You don't have to complete everything to the perfect degree to celebrate the win. You can actually celebrate that you just got the first step done or the second step done. So thank you, Katie, for being an example of that. Allyn Wong said I took, nobody's around, hahaha, two days off from teaching this week, and created a welcome automation email via MailChimp. This is hard for me, so I'm glad it's done and I'm looking forward to seeing if it makes a difference regarding engagement. I also made a Kuna Board and a Gondola poll, posted three times on Insta, got my studio ceiling repainted after it leaked last week, created and ordered new business cards and postcards to put around town, planned a new cola with a pelvic floor P.T. for September, October. I mean, my goodness, so I just want to say, like, I love she took two days off, and it's because, right now it's summer, and so she didn't have any clients. But you can look at us like no one's here or you can actually look what you can get done and, holy moly, look at all these different wins she had. I really love that you celebrated all of these things, big and small, the automation welcome series is so much work and so much tech, but you also did some fun, creative stuff, and you got out into the community. Just truly amazing. Allyn, thank you so much for sharing these with us. All right, my win, this is gonna feel like a really, a really weird win. I'm just sharing with you now, because I've been traveling, and so I was recorded ahead of time, but on July 29th my mentor passed away. I'm gonna try not to cry. I can do this. And I knew he was sick and I was able to see him in April, Brad and I were able to make it happen on a long way home. So from Arizona, we went to L.A. to get to Vegas. But, I got to see him. We got to spend some hours with him, which was just beautiful. But I normally am someone who's like, well, gotta keep going. Gotta, like, normally, I should say, years ago, it's been a while since someone passed, but like, just, would have just tried to get through the whole day, and instead, I actually decided to feel my feelings and take things off my plate. So I still did some work, mostly out of distraction, but I allowed myself to feel my feelings and share how I was feeling and connect with other people who got to learn from him. Jay Grimes is a very special person. And for years, I felt so honored and lucky and blessed, and sometimes wondered how I got to train with him, and I no longer think any of those things. I actually know I got to train with him because I put the work in to train with him. He also is someone who was a man of few words but the words that he did say were really impactful and really important. And so I actually spent the day sharing stories with different friends, remembering them with him. And I've actually still been I've been doing that the last month since then, just as I remember people, I remember something I've been doing that. And you're like, what is the win? The win is in creating a business and a life and a schedule for myself that allowed me to feel the feelings I need to feel, and take the break that I needed to take. And yes, the show had to go on the next day, and I had to do some things. And grief isn't linear, so I'm not, I don't think I'll ever be over it, but I am very, I'm very grateful, and it is a win that I was able to take that time. And so if you are going through a loss, or if something comes up, or you get information that kind of throws a wrench in your day, giving yourself permission to fill your feelings is a win, right? So I thought I would share a really fun story about Jay with you, because you gotta (inaudible) the game. So first of all, one of his, one of my, I have so many favorite sayings from him, but one of them is, "We don't change the work. The work changes us." And another one is, "You do Pilates because you love your body, not because you hate it." I really loved how he allowed everybody to do Pilates, and he knew that everybody can have access to it, and the more they love themselves, the more they're curious in it, the more that Pilates practice would be there. So I just love that. But here's a funny story. So he would say, if you don't like an exercise, then you have to do it twice. That's because you need it. And he said it all the time. But I was in the program with him, so that the, towards the end of 2016, and it was the last weekend of of workshops of the program and so we'd all been quite cozy and fun and whatever. And so he had mentioned that if someone doesn't like an exercise, it's because they need it, so they're going to do it twice. And so, like, I don't know, 20 minutes later, not even that much longer, but it was far enough away, but he didn't realize he was saying, we're on the line rail. And (inaudible) came up and was like, oh, I hate that exercise. And I was like, oh, sounds like someone's got to do it twice. And he looked at me with that look only a parent could have, like, I can't believe you just said that to me right now, but also a smile on his face, like, and he said who let her in here? It was just a funny moment that I'll never forget, and I'm really grateful for that. So, my love, if you've got something going on, give yourself permission to take something off your plate and then celebrate that you did that. That's a win. All right, your mantra for today, because I don't plan a mantra ahead of time. I just pick one. I do not rush through my life, I temper speed with stillness. Oh, that's so perfect. I do not rush through my life, I temper speed with stillness. Say it with me. I do not rush through my life, I temper speed with stillness. My love. No more rushing. Temper your speed with stillness. And thank you so much.

Well, it's happening because of my amazing team, but I am in Los Angeles. If you're watching this, I am definitely on my home recording it, but when you're listening to this. I am in Los Angeles for the weekend, and that's me proud of my win. So I will save that information for you for a second. But if you are new here, hi, welcome to the Be It Pod. I am so grateful that you are here. This is podcast was a dream of mine for a long, long, long, long time. And what's so cool is that we are past three years, we're past 400 episodes. We've got amazing, amazing guests coming from you, and you make me a better person, you just do, because you challenged me to find really cool people that are helping you be it till you see it. So thank you so much. I hope you listened to this week's interview and our recap. If you haven't, make sure you listen to those, because it's important. There's some great stuff. There's some gems for someone. And if it's not for you, it'll be for someone you know in your life. And sometimes we're just listening to things like, oh my god, this is definitely for my friend, or this is definitely for my mom. This is for my sister. And like, how cool that you could be the messenger of the thing that they need? That's amazing. That's actually could be a win you celebrate. So FYFs, I celebrate. I win of yours and I win of mine. So this is from Jeanne Cho, she's an agency member, and she wrote, FYF I now have converted two out of my five work days to begin at my desired start time of 9 am. I truly believe this is a result of manifestation. I'm looking at a 10% drop in client retention due to a 20% price increase. I sign up three new clients this week, two which will become duets, which is where I needed this business to go. One of these new clients gave me a 30% tip on a five-pack at the new highest price in town rate. What? Just about my first international trip in three years, to take a week-long trip to Barcelona with my mom and my daughter. Oh, my god, three generations. That's amazing. Okay, so Jeanne, I just want to, like, shout you out. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. Can we just, go, I just want to do something. I'll highlight a couple things in here for anyone listening to this, she is going to have a 10% drop in client retention due to 20% price increase. Guess what? She's still making 10% more. That's how that works. So when you increase your prices 10% you can lose 10% of your clients and make the same amount of money in less time. She's actually going to be making 10% more money in less time. So way to freaking go. She also got people to be in duets which means she's making even more money on those. And somebody decided that her price is weren't even high enough, and they tipped her even more. So, like, just signs from the universe that you are doing an amazing job. Yes, money can be scary to charge for, but like you, obviously, are giving people the benefits that make them go this is worth it. So way to go. And so excited for you to have three generations on an international trip together. That sounds so amazing. Lesley Logan 3:17  All right, I'm gonna do one more. This one's from Brigid Pearse. She is out of Australia, a member of like, four years just doing great. FYF, new client coming today. Resonate with my marketing, is excited to work with me. My energy is low, lots of motions coming up about a lot of things. I'm being kind to myself and staying focused. Started booking a holiday for July. You know what? Good for you. Like, a holiday when you're feeling low, having something to look forward to is just like the right thing to do. And actually, the timing of that win, Brigid, couldn't be any better, because it's actually what I had to do. Lesley Logan 3:52  So my win is that I'm why I'm in Los Angeles. Is because months ago, I booked myself a little Pilates vacation for after my tour. I could have said let me think about it. Let me wait on it. I mean, like I could have signed up last minute. I'm sure could have gotten one or two days in, but I was like, no, I want all three days, and I want to lock my spot in five months early so that I have this to look forward to. So I have this thing and it's so easy for us to procrastinate on making a decision about something that can make our future self happy. We can procrastinate. We can talk ourselves out of it. We can say, oh, now's not the right time to spend that money. I'll just wait till three months before, when the spots are like, there's still a spot left, but like, you have to deal with your money how you want to deal with it, and that's fine. I'm not here to tell you what to do about your money here, but what I am saying is, like, do not put off making a decision that your future self is going to love just because your present self is low or tired or a little bit nervous about things. Because guess what you also do? If you remember Nikole Mitchell's episode, when we do things like that, when we book these trips, when we book these times when we kind of put ourselves outside of our comfort zone, it forces us to show up in a different way prior to the thing or after the thing. So that we actually can make up for the investment we made. We step up into a higher power. You would not step up to the person who would be able to plan that vacation if you didn't plan that vacation in the first place, just wouldn't. So sign yourself up for things that scare you a little bit, because it will force you to step up into that person. That's a great way to be it till you see it. I mean, don't just scare yourself all the time into being like till you see it, but it is an option. It's an option. So I'm super, super excited that I said that I, like, made sure that this happened, and I planned this as far in advance as I did. Because, trust me, there's a few times like, Oh, my god, am I doing the right thing, like, I'm gonna need more than one, two days at home before I leave again, and it's like, no, absolutely it's gonna be the right thing. It's gonna be the absolute right thing. And yes, there's all these reasons why it might not be the right thing, but I actually don't have to focus on those, because I can just trust that it's the right thing to do and I'm in the right place I need to be. Lesley Logan 5:44  So here is your mantra. Let's see. I just pull this out at random. So what do we have? I have everything I need to succeed. I have everything I need to succeed. My dear, you have everything you need to succeed. I have everything I need to succeed. Let's say it together. I have everything I need to succeed. Yeah, you do. Go have an amazing Fuck Yeah Friday. Make sure you celebrate your wins, if not with me, with someone that you know, and send this to them, let them know what's an FYF. Because what's so fun is when I know that people are doing FYFs all over the place. I know I have teachers who graduated from my programs who do with their clients on Fridays. Like, I absolutely love this. This is the best thing that can be contagious. So until next time you guys, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 6:24  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It 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 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. Hey, Be It babe. Happy Friday. Happy FYF. Happy fuck yeah, we made it. We are here we did it. And you know what's so funny is like, I write a bunch wins down and then I do these things. And sometimes I have an (inaudible). So one of the things I want to celebrate real quick at the top of this is we already hit our three year anniversary and our 400th episode, so we should just like whoo, whoo. And that's because of you. That's just because of you. We have so many reviews because of you. It's just like so freaking incredible and we have an amazing guest because of you guys. So just keep the listening coming because you need to know that every time you download the episode it really does make a difference. Every time. So please, please, please keep doing it. If you're like ah, I'm not good at anything. I'm not doing anything in this world trust me if you listen to this episode, you listen to all three episodes in a week, you are doing amazing things because what you're doing is allowing us to get bigger amazing guests for you and other listeners. Because those downloads matter. So, thank you. So if you're new here, hi, welcome. We do some of your wins that you send in, we do some of mine, and then we do a mantra. And shout out to Helen who sent in her be it song that she uses in her morning she (inaudible) which one she wants to use. I'm gonna let her keep that for herself. But if you listened to the Kel Cal interview and you have a be it song that you were listening to so a song you play in the morning that like makes you like, it's like your be it till you see it song, I want to hear, send it to me I want to hear it. Really, really is amazing. Lately, I've been playing Lovely Day. Mike Copeland. It's like lovely day, lovely day, lovely. I'm not gonna sing it for you, because I'm not as good as them. But it's great. That's mine, so you can borrow mine. Helen, I'm not sharing yours.Alright, so let's get into it. Let's get into your wins. This is from Kimberly Craig. It was an early FYF. Today, I was disappointed with how much I didn't do then I realized I was telling myself whys. I talked, caught up on some emails, wrote, edited, and scheduled two newsletters and two blog posts. That's a huge for me and something to celebrate. I'm a week ahead. Then I took apart my car for a supposedly short replacement of my carbon filter, I thought maybe 15 minutes, which turned into two hours of blood, sweat, and almost tears. Turns out there's no cabin filter, carbon filter, clearly I don't drive car. (Inaudible) model. The only model that doesn't have one. But I did discover a mouse house in my AC condenser and might have fixed my air conditioning instead. So now I'm going to make dinner and take my kid to volleyball where I will be talking up my summer session to some of the other moms. I'm doing more than I gave myself credit for it. Just because my to do list is still long doesn't mean that the stuff I take off doesn't count. Boom, Kim Craig, thank you for sharing this as a Be It win that we could share with all the listeners today because holy freaking moly, can we just like take a minute for like how much you got done. First of all, that's a lot. That's like, that's something, that sounds like more than I did today. So I am just so freaking proud of you for noticing that. And oftentimes, you guys, we make a to do list that is too freaking long. It's impossible to get it all done. It just isn't. Like I look at my schedule with my assistant and we review things and then I wake up and go yeah, this can't happen today. Today. Today, I'm gonna honor my cycle. And we're not doing that today. And that is a win, right? So like, it's okay, if you didn't get stuff done, because beating yourself up to get it done is also not going to be, you're not gonna be fine and be present. Can I also just shout out that like, you're a week ahead. And you also took apart your own car. Like, I am so impressed by that. If any of you are people who like do household tasks that are like fixing things, that's a win. So in case you're certainly like I haven't I don't have any wins today. If you, like my husband will go up and fix the air conditioning system and I'm just like, fuck yeah, what a win. Fuck yeah it's Friday. Like way to go babe. Because these are just things I'm like, not my strength. Not my bag, may call someone. And so I just want to say like if you're someone who does have talent and these things and you're doing them you take it for granted that it's a win you actually see this like this is just part of life. This is what I got to do. But you did that. You did it. So thank you for celebrating that. Thank you for reminding people that you don't have to finish the whole To Do List to have done everything. So, way to go. We had Djamila's win a couple weeks ago which is like a Ta Da List, so I'm in. Way to go Kim. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And I just want to repeat what you said at the end, I'm doing more than I give myself credit for, just because my to do list is still long doesn't mean the stuff I take off doesn't count. Boom, boom, that's freaking amazing. Amazing. Okay, so keep this I'll go into my win. So we are almost done with the tour. And I was actually able to bring a lot of my morning routine stuff with me, which is, uh, not always, like, usually it's like, I got to a morning movement, I got to shower. You know, I get to having a latte. But like, I don't really have a better way to do a routine, or at least I didn't prior to this tour, but I had spent so many weeks at home really trying to hone in like what is my new morning routines, less actually able to take some of them with me. So hello, dry brush, my HigherDOSE dry brush, I was dry brushing myself in my bed before I got out. I'm like what a great way to start the day. I was also able to still take with me some of the things that FemGevity provides me, so that I could take care of myself and have my hormones be the balance that I want them to be. There was, also I was able to take my Red Light from HigherDOSE with me, if that just like makes me feel like I'm like doing some self care. It's a win to me that in the chaos of a tour. And even as organized as our team is and as planned out as a tour is, there's just always like, a little bit of obstacles, everything takes a little bit longer. You forgot a timezone change whatever, that I could still start every day with some things that make me feel like I'm at home. And that is my win. Your mantra for the weekend is I uplift, my joy and the joy of others. Yeah, you do you listen to this podcast, we're both doing it. I uplift my joy and the joy of others. Say one more time with me. I uplift my joy and the joy of others. All right. I'm just so grateful for having you as a listener, I'm also really, I want you to know that even I'm not someone who like needs accountability all the time. But I definitely go through bursts and spouts of like, you know, woe with me. And so having you having to have a win to share with you guys really helped me look ahead and plan ahead, because I am like, oh, I can tell them about this. Or I can tell him about this. Oh, I can help them with this. So I just I'm really grateful for you. Thank you so much for listening to the Be It Pod. How are you going to use these wins as inspiration in your life to see a win that you have? I want to know, I want you to send your win in. You can put it in the reviews. You can send them in on Instagram. You can send them to me somehow get them here because the Be It Pod wants to shout those out.

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 0:43  Hi, Be It babe. Welcome to your Friday episode. Welcome to us sharing some fun wins. This is a quickie. It's always a quickie. And hopefully you hear a win of yours because it might remind you of a win you had in the past and you might be having a day where you're like, "Oh, this day." And then, and then you hear your win or you hear someone else's win you go, "Oh, I had a win like that." Lesley Logan 1:05  So here we go. We're going to start doing some wins. The first one is going to be from Laurie Sindlinger. "FYF, I was feeling a little rundown from teaching lately and noticing I was taking a lot of my clients' negative energy with me long after the sessions were over. I started this week by taking care of my own needs and my family's needs and bringing a different energy into the studio myself. When I saw the clients that always complain about their lives and it kind of dump on me, I put up a mental barrier. I listened, but immediately let it go and focus my energy on the good work I could give them. I'm not sure if they noticed, but I did not carry the bad energy with me for the rest of the day. And I felt great all week. Also, one of my clients brought me a cute hair clip today that lays flat behind your head. So I thought it'd be useful for Pilates. And I finished viewing and taking notes on two of the summer camp classes. I bought a day pass and could not attend live, so I'm working my way through them all little by little." Laurie, I just love this. Like I really, really do. You know, there are those energy vampires and we're like, how do we get this person in our lives? Like how did this happen? And so I just really appreciate you sharing your way of creating space between their negative energy and what you were doing in a day. So thank you so much. Lesley Logan 2:20  Okay. We have Ainsley who is in eLevate four and she has a couple of wins I'm going to share. So one of them is, "Last night I saw a gorgeous new client who had lost her husband six weeks ago suddenly. Her grief oozed out of her in a mix of shock and sadness and blankness. She almost looked translucent. A mutual friend recommended me to her. Her goal is not to think about things when she's with me and to get strong enough in her ankles to go back to running. By the end of our session, I provided the distraction by getting her moving with her feet and straps. Deliberately done a demo of the variety we will be doing. She laughed so hard and smiled saying if her husband could see her now. It was so precious. She left last night with a smile on her face, pink sheets and grateful, signed up for one to ones and mat classes to give her a new focus. It was yet another reminder of how beautiful this practice is and how truly special the effects can be.I feel so grateful to be able to do this." Oh my God. Ainsley, like, what a gift. You're not only giving her the gift of moving and potentially getting running back in her life, but also like something she can laugh at when thinking about her husband and not the grief that she's going through. So what a beautiful space you're holding. Ainsley is in our eLevate round four group. It's been so fun to watch her grow as a teacher. So here's her other win, "Last weekend was amazing. Thank you all. I'm so grateful. I get the opportunity to be in this group." She's talking about eLevate. "I'm excited for some space this weekend to move and practice and the homework and got to practice with JM before her trip tomorrow. My lighter mornings and nights means I can walk the dog earlier, but four clients allowing me to take a couple of extra sessions on to pay for Vegas and Cambodia. So excited to have full classes and one to ones to allow me to practice all my new learnings and curiosities. Ah, Ainsley, I'm so, like, I love this so much. I know this is, like, after weekend three and we just wrapped weekend five and it's just like, can you believe how fast the time has flown? She actually got to be in Vegas for weekend four and I get to see her in Cambodia. She's coming for the second time, which like, absolutely happens. People come to Cambodia for the second time. So Ainsley, thank you for sharing your wins. They're like so fun and present. Lesley Logan 4:26  Okay. So my win is that eLevate round four weekend five happened last week. And I am just so proud of this group of women. They're epic. They're amazing. It has, you know, for some of them, it was so much information at the beginning. It was very overwhelming for others. It was maybe not so much, but then as they've integrated it into their lives, into their practice, I've watched them have so much more confidence in their movement practice, not only as movement professional, like teachers, but also in their ability to show up and be present for others. And it's just great. And you saw that in Ainsley's win. So like, you know, her win is kind of like, that's the win I'm trying to express here. So that, just that round five has finished their fifth weekend. They're not done yet. They actually have like more time and then they get to graduate. And so of course we'll celebrate that win, but just it, time flies when you're having fun. And it's just, I cannot believe that we're already here to this 5th weekend. My other win is that we are on a summer tour. Happened. We literally wrapped round five eLevate. We taught a class in Las Vegas and then we got in the car and went on this tour and y'all like it's our 6th tour. And my, my, obviously like, we're powered by Balanced Body so it's really nice to have an amazing sponsor, but I'm also just so proud of all the toes that we worked with. They have done such an incredible job, like making sure their community comes out to these classes. And so the, the wins I have this week are more community based and more based in, in other people's coming to things, which I have no control over, but where the win in that for me, is it like, the consistency I've had in showing up day after day, week after week, year after year pays off. And if you are stuck, if you're feeling like you're doing something and it's not turning into anything, just keep going, just keep going. Sometimes you'll do things and no one will show up. And sometimes you do things and a lot of people show up and you learn from both. So you're winning or you're learning, which is winning to me. So I just, a couple of big, huge landmark wins, which are not necessarily the types of wins that I always share because I want you to think about when it's happening, not the culmination of things. But, but please, please, please share, like, celebrate everything that did happen. It doesn't always go the way you planned, so I'm not telling you that it's gone off without a hitch. There've been some hitches, but the fact that we are here on the sixth tour and we're having the time of our lives and really enjoying ourselves is the win.  Lesley Logan 6:56  So, all right, let me leave you with a little mantra. There's poetry in everything if I look for it. There is poetry in everything if I look for it. There's poetry in everything if I look for it. Are you looking for poetry today? I hope you do. Make sure you send your wins into the Be It Pod and until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 7:14  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

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.  Hi, Be It babe. Welcome to a solo episode. I'm really excited to do this. It's been a really long time. I think we did this in the first year. And then we ended up having so many amazing guests. We haven't done one in a while. Sure. I don't remember what number that was. Anyways. One, if you like these solo episodes, let us know. We want to know. And two, I just want to say hi, if it's your first episode. Hi, I'm Lesley Logan. Welcome to this solo episode of the Be It pod. Normally, we have interviews and then recaps and FYFs, and we have had our 400th episode and it's kind of, it's not even kind of exciting, it's frigging exciting. This whole podcast is like a very big experiment on being it till you see it, being someone who I never thought I asked good questions or was a great interviewer. But I was really clear that I wanted to help more women act as if they had the thing already that they want. There is so many people who tell us, you know, well, just, it's okay because you're going through this, you'll just, just wait and just wait your turn and, and that's the age that you're at so of course you feel that way. Or, like there's just so many different things that I feel like hold us back. And then we hold ourselves back. And there's another, add perfectionism. And this whole idea that imposter syndrom is your thing to figure out. All this stuff. And I just wanted to have a space for you to be inspired regularly by people doing hard things showing up as themselves and the journey along the way. And it's multifaceted, right? There's so many different ways to figure out how to be it till you see it. So I'm just so grateful that here we are three years, since we launched 400 episodes. And so many of you, I've been able to meet in person, and you told me your favorite quotes and your favorite parts and your favorite interviews. And it means a lot to me when you tell me like episode number blah, blah, blah, I'm like, cool. Like, it's just so cool. So I just want to say like, part of me is in total celebration mode. And that's what this episode is. Another part of me is like, it's been a while since I've told you, I'm being it till I see it. And kind of what's going on, right, with my business and with where we're going with things and what I can tell you because I also think it's important to give you permission to be in process. And I say this a lot with regards to the OPC community, we're always talking about being in process, being in practice, Pilates is a practice, being it till you see it is a practice, it's a muscle, and it's not easy, and you won't actually ever be perfect at it. But you do get better at being it till you see it. And so this year, it's 2024, we're halfway through, we're more than that when this comes out. And this year started off exactly the way I wanted and then quickly revealed everything that I wanted it to be and also things that I didn't want to redo. Let me explain. I had, I was very determined to go into the year without having too many plans. And then because we didn't have any plans, very quickly, things planned themselves. And it made me laugh because it's kind of like when you don't have goals, someone else's goals become your goals. And so I said yes to all these things. So I think it's really important. These are not complaints. But what I discovered is actually it's incredibly important for me to prioritize what I do on the schedule, which we did do and then also have a plan of action of like when we can say yes to things and what does that look like? And so already, so that 2025 can be the year of me bein it till I see it in other avenues of how I want this business to grow. I have planned the priorities for next year. And we do have marked out vacations and days off. And it does mean it's very limited for us to say yes to other things. And that is okay. Because I think one of the traps, one of the obstacles, one of the ways to derail being it till you see it is FOMO. That fear of missing out. And so, oftentimes, we say yes to things that feel familiar and that or things we wanted to be invited to. And those things derail things. So nothing this year, really derailed the plans, it actually revealed the plans. But I can tell you for a fact, what it did derail is my ability to show up in all of my friendships and relationships. And one of my intentions was to be more intentional about friendships in Vegas. And it took me until end of May to meet with one of my dear friends who lives here, we both have just crazy travel schedules. And so I'm not saying I've at all failed at that goal. But I was aware that being it till I see it in developing relationships with women, that I could hang out with in person was challenging based on the things I'd said yes to. And it's a lesson to be learned as you can have everything you want, but not all at the same time. So I could have all these incredible events to travel and grow the business but it also meant that it'd be very difficult for me to have in-person relationships. Now, my friends that don't live here, I've already gotten to see this year. So there's a win there. So I think what I've been really focusing on is not going, "Uh, I can't do X, Y and Z," because that is not a way of being it till you see it instead, one celebrating what I can do, and two, making changes in real time to allow for the things I can't do that I want to do and be more intentional. Being it till you see it is intentionality. So here we are halfway through the year, and I have been reflecting on my goals for this year, reflecting on the intentions I had for this year, how I was going to be it till I saw it this year and making changes based on what hasn't been going the way I wanted. And celebrating what is teaching me a lot of things about that I want. So something that we'll talk about, that's a win, that was a be it till you see it for the first several months of this year, you guys, when I took my lashes off, it was not easy for me. And I say that knowing full well that I love how I look. And I'm happy that they're off. And I've said on the podcast before that I wasn't happy with the extensions for a long time. But it's also extremely challenging to have no eyelashes. To have no eyelashes. I was a shock to my own self. And part of that is because I actually have to look at myself all the time for work. I'm filming all the time. And so I was like, it's a very drastic change for me. So I was being it till I saw it and like acting like I was a person who knew how to do makeup, which I'm not. So I took several lessons and I highly recommend that, ladies, if you were, if your body is changing or as you're aging, you're just like oh I don't you're not liking how you look. I highly recommend hiring someone who is an expert at that. I am so grateful for all the makeup artists I hired at the very beginning of this year. I have more to learn and I'm so grateful for them but they helped me through the process because waiting months for your lashes to grow back and by the way they don't grow back cute. No, no, no. Finally now-ish, most of it is like I think my normal lash what I've had in the past. So it took, you know, six months and I know that it can sound so superficial, and I just want to say it's not. If you're a woman listening to this, it is absolutely okay to want to like how you look and it is absolutely okay to want to feel beautiful and feel pretty and when we don't like how we look it does affect our day, it does affect us being it till we see it. Now, there's a very big difference between judging yourself, shaming yourself and being negative about yourself. That does not fight with me and that's not be it till you see it. Be it till you see it is telling yourself that you're beautiful and doing research and finding people to help you with the things that maybe you are wanting to change and that is absolutely okay. And I like to say that because I think that people can get on their high horse about loving themselves so much that they don't want to change anything out their self. So it's okay to want to change things about yourself or to want to elevate how you feel or how you look. I have no problem with that. I do have a problem with the judgment, the shame and the negativity around it. Taking action, that is being it till you see it. So, in the intro to this podcast, action brings clarity, it's the antidote to fear. So huge win and will be lash extension-free. And I'm having fun doing my makeup every day. I have fun playing with things i I also found a makeup line I like. And I highly recommend doing that. And because it makes things easier, it makes it easier to show up for yourself. And if what you are wanting to do in this planet requires you to feel beautiful, then please do the thing that makes you feel beautiful, not the thing that makes your friend feel beautiful. Those are different things that is not being it until you see it, that is being someone else until you see yourself like that. So really, truly own that. And you're going to look different to other people and that's okay, that's actually really great. It's really fun. So I'm really proud of that. And that was be it till you see it moment. And here we are, it took less time than I thought. So that was actually a nice, fun surprise. Okay. another way of being it until I see it this year, and this has actually been decades in the process. But I will say that in the last year, I have not been satisfied with the results in my medical health care. And I've been frustrated with the limitations and breaking it is expensive to go out of your own pocket–for ladies. And that's, I only speak for my experience. So maybe men too, but I've just really struggled. And since 2016, I've really struggled with getting anyone to pay attention to where my hormone levels were. My estrogen and progesterone were fine back in 2016. My testosterone was not. 2017–same thing. Last year, testosterone was not. This year, both progesterone and testosterone were not. And now other things are starting, were starting to elevate in a not good way. And that is because when the body is stressed out trying to make things happen, that are not functioning correctly, it's going to stress out other parts of the body. So I have been trying to advocate for myself and my health because I cannot be the leader that I want to be if I do not feel that I have the energy and stamina that I know my body can have. And I know it can have and know it can do. And so what frustrates me is that when I told other women how I was feeling, I had a couple of women who, in my life, who were like, yeah, you should definitely get that checked out. I would look into this, here are some resources, right? And I had a ton of them go, oh, we are at that age. So get ready. We have to stop telling people that. Yes, I am 41. And I could be at that age. But one thing I found out in getting my test done is that I'm probably not. And I would have been doing my body to disservice just buckling down and suffering through it. What I can say is by getting answers, going to people who really care about women's health, we have them on the podcast, their episode will be coming out soon. It's FemGevity and I will make sure that my team puts my link below if you want us to get started sooner. When my episode comes out, they have changed my life. So I told them how I'm feeling. I told them what my symptoms are. I told them that I don't feel like myself. And I told them like it's making it really difficult for me to trust myself in meetings with my own team. Because I don't have the energy, my brain isn't firing at the way that I that I'm used to. And it's taking me more time to think about things, I want to handle more stuff. And turns out estrogen was phenomenal. My testosterone production, while in range, we're not serving me. And so by getting someone to pay attention to me, who cares about my health, who has done the research, help me, I can clearly say that, like I'm not at that stage in my life right now. And that's okay, it will come. And also, I am now back to performing at the levels that I am used to. And I can show up as myself and I can feel the way that I usually feel and I don't feel like a crazy person. And so if you are feeling like a crazy person, don't let someone talk you into something like Oh, that's just how you're supposed to feel. Oh, for my ladies who are on the other side, that you've done the pair, you're on the other side. Just because you're on the other side doesn't mean you have to like manage it. There is more research out every single day for, thank goodness, for women's health. And so please, please, please advocate for your health. And if you hear someone having struggles with their health, instead of just telling well, that's just the age, you know, you got kids or you're 41 or whatever. Tell them, "How long you've been feeling this way? Have you seen anyone? What did they say? Did you agree with that? Does their answer feel right? Does it feel good? And if the answer is no, then there are other people that's what second opinions and third opinions are for and I highly recommend you do that. Okay, so I had a, during an OPC summer camp, which, thank goodness, I had gotten this support before that happened. That was a marathon that I needed every part of me to be able to function for, they did. Um, we had Katie Donnelly, from Body in Motion Pilates on and she was talking about for pregnant women to be listening to their body and I said okay, I have a question for you, though. So many people don't listen to their body. So what are they listening, what are they listening for? How do they start to listen when they, like, should have been listening this whole time? And she said, when you find out information, does it create more fear, or more curiosity? And I'm going to challenge with the same thing in being it till you see it with your health. If people tell you stuff that makes you feel just like, I don't like that answer, you're allowed to go get a second opinion. And I feel like if we all can start to actually hear the women around us who are saying those things, and then provide them not with like, well, that's just how it is. That's how the cookie crumbles. And instead, see them and hear them go, wow, how long have you been feeling this way? Do you? Have you been able to talk to someone who's a specialist in this? Did you? How did the answer feel? Have you gotten a second opinion? We have an episode on how to advocate for yourself in the healthcare industry. And I highly recommend you listen to it, with my old assistant Lindsay. And then we've had just (inaudible) on talking about women's health. And it is very privileged to get second and third opinions actually. And I do understand that money can be a thing. You know, there are clinics, there are options, there are programs, and it might take a little extra research. And I do hope you do that. Because you are the only person who could do what you do the way that you do it, you are it. And we need you feeling like you can, that your body is able to take you where you want it to go. So what I'm so excited about right now is that I'm on this journey with this company, FemGevity, and we're just getting started. And at the time I'm recording this I've been off oat milk for three days. And I'm trying to do (inaudible) eight weeks to change some of the foods that I'm actually sensitive to, highly and then mildly, just to see how I feel. And I have another test I'm waiting to come back from them. And it's really interesting. Sometimes we're like, I'm doing all the things I'm eating all the foods, I'm sleeping, I'm exercising, I don't feel awesome. There might be something else. And so please just to sum this up on the, the be it till you see it when it comes to your strength and stamina and longevity, please advocate for yourself until you get someone who fully trust that they have your destiny like they're there with you. And my doctor with this company, she is like with me and excited and looking for things and listening to me and that is important. So at the very least make sure you have a doctor who you can talk to and you feel like they're listening to you. They have to, they're supposed to, so make them. Okay, next up in my be it till you see it journey. Okay, this one is a little (inaudible) more esoteric, but I'm hoping that it will make sense. Being it till you see it doesn't mean you don't get to change ring or you don't get to evolve, or you don't get to elevate or stop. I share that because a lot of people say that, like, will say, like people who get things done it's because they have grit or there's a hustle, you know, and I'm not saying you don't have to hustle sometimes there's like, there's like moments in a business where you're, you're going. But it is possible that you'll create things or you'll make things or you'll do things in your be it till you see it journey and you will start to go, "Hmmm I still love that, but I no longer love doing it this way." And that means you're going to be being until you see it in the unraveling of whatever that change of your mind is, or that decision is, and it also means taking your time. Sometimes in the be it till you see it aspect, things will just happen quickly because you believe and you're acting as if and the next thing comes. And sometimes it just, it matter. It's a little more patient, there's like more things you have to learn to be the person that's doing the thing that you want to be doing. And especially when you are acknowledging that something that you love doing isn't going the way you love to do it anymore. You get to take some time, explore and be curious. And I'm still in the curiosity aspect of this. And so being it till you see it as a detective and weighing options and figuring things out. Part of me who's the action taker like I'm just like, I'm an activator. If you remember the StrengthsFinder, I'm just going to do things. Part of me is just like wanting to just make a decision and go with it. But also the leader, business owner woman that I am wanting to be that I aspire to be all the time, if I'm being it to see it as her, she is patient, she evaluates, she does things with ease. And she does things through her values. And so that is what I have to use as my rubric as I'm making a decision and changing my mind on something. And so when I have and when I can announce it, I will tell you and that might be longer than we all want. Don't worry, this path is not going anywhere. But I just wanted to share that because I think it's important to know that you're allowed to change your mind. You're allowed to take a couple of steps forward and go, ooh, this doesn't feel good. You know? It's important. All right, what is coming up? What should you be expecting? Well, we're going to keep the pod the way it is, right now. We have interviews on Tuesday, recaps on Thursday, FYF. We really do want to have more guests that will support you in the journey you're going on. I have some perimenopause expert, women hormone experts coming on. And just some other amazing topics coming down the pipeline that I'm super excited for you to hear. And what I would just say and my big ask is that you keep sharing it. I know a lot of you have been listeners for a really long time and you share it back then, you need to keep sharing it now because there's some guests that I would love to ask. And I need the podcast to go from top 2% in the world, to top 1% in the world. And that comes from your share. So do know that. Uhm, also super excited we are doing two tours this year. And I get to see you in person. So there's a summer tour in August and a winter tour in December. And we are running two retreats in a year, which is really a big deal for us. So that is huge and exciting. October's Cambodia retreat is sold out. And so we are doing the February 2025 retreat and that's filling up very quickly. So I really do hope you take a spot in that if you wanted to come and have a little be it till you see it moment. It's pretty amazing the workshops we do and the classes that we do, and it's really special. And I'm still doing eLevate next year. In fact, end of June is when the applications were open. So I don't know if there's any spots for 2025 left, but if you are interested, feel free to reach out because you know, what's the worst (inaudible) thing I say? No, there's no spots? Um, you never know. Right? So that is a really cool thing that I was being it till I saw as far as like, (inaudible) like doing this do I want to be a mentor? What does that mean? What does that mean ongoing? What does that mean years later? How does that work, and proud to say that, like, every year, I get challenged in the best way by those who are in eLevate, and it gets sweeter and better. And the grads that we've had, they get sweeter and better because it's been percolating them for a really long time. And I'm so proud of them. A lot of them were teaching at summer camp this year and just getting to see them take their knowledge of how the work is, Pilates work is, and then to have their own personality with it was beautiful and wonderful. I'm so proud. So yeah, that's what's going on. So currently, I have some things that I, as I mentioned at the beginning of this podcast, that I've been reflecting on with my goals and like my participation in those, and I am still working on that. So the rest of this year, I'm gonna be it till I see it as being better at participating in the relationships that I want to continue to cultivate. Not just my marriage, that one's actually, work, definitely work up more possible because we live together and we travel together. But in my relationship with my friends. It's something that like, pre-COVID was so easy for me to do even in living in a busy world where I traveled a lot. Post COVID, it's harder, it's a very interesting thing, you got used to not seeing people and you start to tell yourself a story about how busy they are. So I am working on being more intentional about that and getting more into a routine around that and sharing with them what's going on because I'm an introvert so it's so easy for me to be like oh, it's amazing. But I want deep, truly wonderful friendships and I have them and so my goal is to take them to the even the next level of just really phenomenal true, true sisterhood friendships that of women I love to lean on and I admire in how they live their life and so I'm super excited to see how that goes. And that is my be it till I see it project for the rest of this year. Workwise, you heard what's going on and patience and ease is the, is really, you know, the be it till I see it there because those two things don't come easy for me. I don't have patience and I don't really, like. ease isn't something I would put under when, like, people think of Lesley Logan they think of ease. No, no, but I'm really trying that and it has been serving me well. So I'm going to keep leaning into that. Alright, let's, I hope this was a helpful episode for you. I hope that like hearing, like my thought process on some things might give you permission to have your own thought process or around some things. And if you like the solo episode and you have special areas you want us to hear us talk more as, as a solo, a topic, an area, you know you're allowed to send questions in for the recap, but if you're wanting to hear more about my health journey or my Pilates journey or anything or Brad, you want to hear more about a journey part of his life, we want to share that with you. That's what this podcast is all about. Because what got us here is this process of going through those experiences some good and, and some you would label bad, but really a setup for some good. We want to share that with you. Because if it's going to help you, we want you to hear it. So make sure you send them in to the Be It Pod so we can answer that. And take a moment to really reflect on like, who is it that you want to be at the end of this year? And then how can you act as if you're that person right now. That's the be it till you see it. That's it right there. Have an amazing day and until next time, you Be It Till You See It. That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It 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 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 0:46  Hi, Be It babe. How are you? Oh my god, I'm so excited that you are here with us today. Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast. Today is the Fuck Yeah Friday, which means we're celebrating your wins, we're celebrating one of mine and we got a little mantra for you. Wins are not necessarily like I've made it. I've established something, like, it's the perfect thing, I couldn't, it's so perfect. They're actually just like noticing where things are going well or things went well in a moment. So it doesn't have to be a perfect day to have a win. You could have a really crappy day. And one of my first wins will be that. But, first, let me share some of yours. And I would love for you to send your win in, shout out on Be It Pod because then you can hear it. So here we go. Lesley Logan 1:28  This one is from Christine Eschen. She is an eLevate grad and Agency member. And she wrote FYF, I had a person drive up to my property on a Sunday and inquire about my lavender than she asked if I also have a Pilates studio, showed her the studio and talked to her for a few minutes. She went home got online and booked a session for next week. Way to go, Christine and not only because of the efforting that you've been showing off your lavender, but also for having a website that allows people to schedule because you probably drove the whole way home thinking I gotta do that. I want to do that. You know, I'm gonna do that. And then she went to your website and she could schedule online. So that's amazing. Tania Tsiora, hello my win this week is that four new clients came in the studio within 10 days. Whoa! Tania, four people in 10 days, that is amazing. And she also has, I didn't write last week, it was such a great fun. It's been three years celebration of the studio, I offered a mat class in the park. Tania, Tania is Agency and she is, ah, three years the studio. Congratulations. First of all, that you have four people come in in a week. And then last week was a three-year anniversary, like, three, the first two years are the hardest. So, you know, not that it gets easier from here, but it does a little bit. So thank you for sharing that. Lesley Logan 2:39  I'm gonna give you guys one more win. This one's gonna come from DK. So, my FYF is residual from last week. I'm so relieved that the miserable manipulative legal financial mess I was in for almost eight weeks has actual result. My lawyer called to say this business growth coaching company is dropping all claims. Yay! Also, after sending my book to a local Boston news channel anchor to pitch myself for their Wellness Wednesday segment and after many emails back and forth, I finally got on the phone yesterday and we booked an in-a-studio recording session. I'm so excited just goes to show that your persistent really pays off, don't assume that people are interested in what in you or that you aren't worthy of an opportunity. DK, that is hu-frickin-mongous. Way to go. Like, it's, both of those things show perseverance and persistence and how they pay off. So I'm so proud of you. I'm also like, it's so easy for us to like create something. And we call that the win. And then not the step that we do afterwards to make sure that people are hearing about the thing we create. So congratulations on your book and all the efforts that you're doing to continue to make sure that people hear about it. That is huge. And anyone can take this away. Just because people don't respond to you or it doesn't happen right away doesn't mean that you're not interested. So it might not be the right timing. It might have something going on in their life. Like, there's so many different wins I could share. Or it was like someone didn't respond to me. And I thought oh, they don't like what I had to say, but, really, it was just timing, right it was just the wrong time. Lesley Logan 4:00  Okay, a win of mine. So every month we do a live class for OPC members. And Brad was not in town. And I was like okay, I'm gonna take a luxurious morning to just make sure I'm super prepared for this live class because I have to set myself up, I'm gonna have to do all the tech work myself and do all the things. So I made sure the mics were charged. I made sure that, like, I even moved the Reformer by myself, I made sure the dogs all had their treats, I even put some beds out so they wouldn't like walk around during the class, like, all the things to make the class so smooth and it was anything but smooth. It, actually, in fact, sucked. The class didn't suck, but like, I taught you guys I taught a class for like 10 minutes and no one could hear anything I was saying. So that was super embarrassing. But the win is, once I figured out what was going on that no one could hear me, that I taught an amazing class and I let myself be present in the moment and I didn't get hung up on like (inaudible). Oh my god, this is so awful. This sucks so much. Actually, I just had fun doing the class that I taught for them. And then I got to hang out with them and shout out some amazing news and amazing changes that we're making at OPC and I'm so, so excited for those things. And so I share that with you because just in case you're having a crappy day today, if you are also present after that crap goes, that's a win. That's a win. It's a total win. So, in fact, if you're listening to this right now, and you're really present in your body, what you're doing, that's a win. All right, like we have to take the wins where we can get them because my goodness, it is so freakin hard. Lesley Logan 5:31  Alright, so here is your mantra. When I feel fear, I feed trust. When I feel fear, I feed trust. When I feel fear, I feed trust. You are amazing. You are wonderful you are being it till you see it each and every day. Please send your wins so we get to shout them out. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 5:53  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:46  Hi, Be It babe. How are you? Happy Friday. Happy FYF. This is one of those quickie, little podcast that tell you all the amazing things that can happen out there that could be considered wins to help inspire you to see what wins are happening in your life. Because, yes, there's crap that happens, obstacles that are happening all the time. We don't always even share the bad things that happen because it's just like, how do you know it's bad, right? But, which is really important to celebrate some wins so we can really see that there are good things happening for us. So let me start with one of your wins. You can send your wins in the Be It Pod and we'll read them out here. So our win this week is from Megan Clements. After a very weird and uncomfortable week feeling uncertain and disjointed it came together today. Two successful mentor meetings equals two new mentoring clients. Both very different goals so it will be super interesting to work with. My bond from my studio that I handed the keys back at the beginning of the year was deposited in my account today and I got to pay back my parents who financially helped me set up the studio. New branding photos that look amazing I can't wait to see the finished photos equals being able to slowly rebrand myself and a giant FYF. Yeah, you know what Megan, I love that you're celebrating that it is a giant FYF so congratulations on that. Megan came with us to Cambodia and, last fall, and I, it's really been cool to see the things that she came up with in our breathwork sessions and our workshops at the Cambodia retreat come to fruition and how they're coming out in her life. It's really fun. Lesley Logan 2:10  All right, one of my wins. I'm gonna go next. So my win, we are ready and ahead of schedule for summer tour, oftentimes we're like last minute so many things we've got to plan, we gotta do, got to figure out and because it's our sixth one and we really have dialed in, like what do we need to be the most amazing humans on tour? It is ready to go, our team has all this done and ready to go and they're already working on winter tour like that is like dialing in so quick. So we can be ready to go with that without even having like it'll be announced sooner than normal, because it's already going to be done. And I love that because not only can you plan ahead, but we can plan ahead and our team can focus on other things to support you. So I'm just super excited because have you ever like had a trip coming up and like you're like the last minute still packing? We're not. We're not doing that anymore. And we're ready ahead of schedule. So that is my win. Isn't it cool? How a win can just be being packed and ready to go? It can. That's a win. You guys, you have wins in your life happening all the time. So what's your FYF? I want to know, send it into the Be It Pod so we can celebrate you. Lesley Logan 3:13  Your mantra for the weekend is I strive for joy not for perfection. I strive for joy not for perfection. I strive for joy not for perfection. You guys, you can have joy without having a ton of perfection. You are amazing. Thank you so much for being a Be It Pod listener.

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 0:46  Happy FYF, Be It babe. Thanks so much for being here. I'm so grateful that you listen to this podcast. If I haven't told you yet, I'm super, super grateful. So, thank you for being here. Today is a shorty and a goodie. It's some of your wins, it's some of mine, and it's a mantra for us to kick our weekend off. FYF means Good Fuck Yeah Friday, which means we celebrate a win. Right? So, first up is Jeanne Cho, she's an Agency member and she said, "FYF, text message after a session from years long client, 'I just want to let you know that I so generally appreciate all you do to plan such effective and creative workouts. I always look forward to our Pilates time. It goes without saying that your vibrant energy and natural joyfulness are the cherries on top. Have a pleasant weekend.' Another client verbally acknowledged that I'm worth my rate increase, beginning to experience receiving tips on packaged purchases." Congratulations, Jeanne, like so amazing when that energy that you're putting out into people has reciprocated back and money is energy. And so I'm just so grateful for you and way to go. I know when you first thought about raising your rates you were really, really nervous and you did it and it's been well received because you're amazing. Lesley Logan 1:48  All right, next up, we have a win from MelissaYNagai. She's an Agency member, an OG and OPC member, and she's just amazing. She wrote, "FYF, I'm super excited about many of the new clients who signed up in the last couple of weeks after their intros. Several are coming two and three times a week. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn, catching on quickly. It's so fun to teach them. We have a new client come in to work with Kayla yesterday evening, so I went down and meet her. She's the most amazing human, seven years old, still works as a trauma counselor, is caring for her husband who has just been diagnosed with dementia and it is coming because she has been told by her osteopath that she needs to do Pilates to take better physical care of herself. She has all the other self-care pretty dialed in." Melissa, this is so fun. I love that your wins are about these clients, getting to have the support they need to do the life that they're having that is a win. And you've created a safe and amazing place that people are wanting to be part of and to trust you with. So thank you so much for sharing that. Lesley Logan 2:44  All right, let's do one of my wins. My win is that we're currently on a business trip and we're actually investing in things that make the trip better. So I share that with you because I think it's really easy for us to think about, oh, I don't want to spend a ton of money. That's expensive. (inaudible) There's a lot of people who like to tell you that things are really expensive in your life, what really makes me mad about that is like things do cost money, we're allowed to determine the value that we place on them. And if we think it's outside of what we want to spend that money on, that's very different. But if we walk around saying that's too expensive, I can't afford that, can't afford that. You are not actually letting money in. And you also need to trust that the money that you spend on your business is going to come back to you tenfold. I started doing that after we had Nikole Mitchell on. She's like, I just believe the money I put out is going to come back to me tenfold. And so when we go to this CR coaches in Nashville, we have taken to doing some things for ourselves that do cost extra—we rent a car, that is extra. We go to a float the day before, the day after. Why do we do these things? One, when we go to work with our coaches it's a whirlwind. And so I want to be in the best mindset. So I'm going to take time to float the night before and float the day after so that I can just let everything integrate everything, calm my nervous system. And then we rent a car because I got tired of trying to figure out the rental cars or the Ubers. And they're canceling on us and they were just taking a long time, just felt like everything was taking longer than it should have. It was really annoying. This area that we go is like outside of Nashville, the city is more in a suburb and just not a lot of Ubers. And you know me, I don't like complaints. So we invested in a rental car. And these are wins because we are trusting that the investments that we're making in our business are going to come back to us tenfold and we're taking care of things, we can be it till we see it, we can be our best version of ourselves when we show up for things. So, hopefully this helps you like if things are going to make you show up as the best version of yourself and you can invest in that do that and there's always a way to work it out even if you can't. So sometimes there's coupons and discounts and memberships—things that you can do. So search it up, seek it out because you want to make sure that the things that you're doing for yourself really do give you what it needs. Us taking four days off for the to go with visit our coaches, flying there, flying back, two days with them. It would be a waste of time if we're also frustrated, tired and exhausted because we were trying to wait for an Uber driver who's never going to come.Lesley Logan 4:59  All right, here is your mantra for the weekend. My life is not a race or competition. My life is not a race or a competition. My life is not a race or competition. Keep reminding yourself of that, it is important because then we'll stop, you know, hiding the wins that we have because we're not racing or competing with people. These are just things that are happening, and they're happening for us. Thank you so much for listening to Be It Pod. You are amazing. Until next time, be it till you see it. Lesley Logan 5:32  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

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 0:46  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It at FYF which means Fuck yeah, Friday, which means we celebrate wins. We're doing this because I think it's really important to notice that even with all the issues going on, you're still doing some things that are pretty freakin awesome. And I think it's important to acknowledge sometimes these are big things. Sometimes these are small things. Sometimes it's just like not screaming, when something doesn't go your way and you just want to go oh my god, it's another (inaudible). It could be a win just going I didn't get crazy when it didn't go my way. I just sat there I was like, okay, here we go. Here we go. (Inaudible) So we share a couple of your wins, we share a win of mine, and we do a fun little mantra. So let's get into this. Lesley Logan 1:29  All right, we have Sonia Ahmed. She is an eLevate grad and she is an Agency member. And we are just so proud of the work that she's doing. Here we go. Two new clients signed up to my group classes through word of mouth through a private client. Now those ladies have referred a friend to my class where numbers were dwindling. And now that friend has also referred a friend. If they all stay with me and two of my old clients return, both could make this block, this class will be full. These new referrals are all my ideal client. And they're similar age to myself looking to stay fit and strong. Love it. Also, Sonia said today I had a Pilates lunch date at a restaurant for all my class participants. I had 11 come out of a total of 21 class clients, people who didn't know others got to know each other. It really made my heart warm. As we're leaving, I could hear them all planning coffee dates after class next week. My heart is full. I hit my initial goal of four signups to my workshop reset goal to six and I'm currently sitting at five cents with nine days ago. Woohoo. Refining my thoughts and pricing my new project offerings which I'll plug at the end of my workshop. Congratulations, Sonia. These are all big wins. It's hard when we like lose some clients, we gain some clients, it can feel like there's a lot going on. And I love that you are seeing the wins and new people coming but also that we're celebrating, like your people are referring people. And then they're also like getting connected with each other and doing coffee dates. You're creating community. It's just so beautiful. So thank you so much for sharing this with us. Lesley Logan 2:52  All right, this next one is from Charlotte Coker. She is an Agency member. And she wrote I had my first coaching call with Brad and have some good clarity on my path forward from here. I have written my exam for my classical certification this afternoon. So I took the day off work, send thoughts and prayers and good vibes. Please, my pop-up class at the end of the month has seven people signed up and I think I can easily get another eight to ten. Way to go, Charlotte, way to go. We're sending you lots and lots of good energy and look, written exams are just, are hard, but they're like, you know what, you can't fail it, you're just gonna get feedback. And I hope you guys can see that like sometimes just like, these little things can be wins, we tend to think we oh, like what if Charlotte didn't celebrate until she finished her certification? That would be lame. Like waiting until that's done before you celebrate anything, you can just celebrate that you did that. Also, I love that she's celebrating she had a coaching call with Brad. You know, like, it's a big deal. It's very nervous to like, talk to somebody about your business and be open to new ideas and new pathways because sometimes we get stuck on what we're doing. So, way to go. Thank you for sharing this with us. Lesley Logan 3:53  All right, let's my win. All right, here we go. I didn't take no for an answer. I know that sounds a little weird. And I wish I can get into details with you. But I can't. But I've been wanting something for a really, really long time. And I reached out to some companies. I was like, I want to do this with you. Here's we want to do and like there's like, no, no no and I was just getting really like bummed about it. I asked for some help which is my win last week. And I was like, this is what I want. This is what I want, this is what I want to do with it. Here's how I'm gonna help them. Here's what's gonna happen. And first, like, they came back to her and they're like, no, we're not doing that. And then she didn't take no for an answer, either. She's really good at that. And it all worked out. Which is really, really great. I share that with you because sometimes you get to know and it's not right now. You just need to follow up. Just need to ask again. And it's hard to remember that. So that's why I'm celebrating the wins. So when I hear this episode come out, it can be a reminder for myself to not take no for an answer when I really do believe I want the thing that I want. You're allowed to want the things that you want guys. It's also a win to acknowledge that. So anyways, that is my win for the week. Not taking no, getting the thing that I wanted, it's taking a little longer than I expected, but it's going to be here and it's going to be so amazing. It's going to be this really cool experience. And I'll share more with you when I can. Lesley Logan 5:08  At any rate, that is our FYF. You know, I do not leave you without a mantra unless of course I forget, because we are not doing perfect over here. So what is your mantra for this week? My pleasure does not require someone else's pain. My pleasure does not require someone else's pain. My pleasure does not require someone else's pain. You guys, you can have good things in this life and doesn't mean someone is gonna have bad things. There is no joy pie, there is no money pie, there is no energy pie, everyone gets to be on their own journey. And if you win, they can win too. And that's why we share your wins, my wins, I want to hear your win so send them in to the Be It Pod. And if you have a friend who's just kind of a little bit of a, you know, Eeyore, then remind them that there's wins out there and send them this because wins don't have to be like everything is going well all the time. You guys, there's a ton of stuff that's not going great. I don't share that with you because I know that what comes from it will be great, that sucky is teaching me something I need to learn so I can be a better person to do the thing I want to do that supports everything that I'm doing. And that's really hard to remember when shit hits the fan. But I'm sharing that with you. So, your pleasure is not someone else's pain. Thank you so much and until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 6:16  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

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 0:46  Hey, Be It babe. Happy Friday, Happy FYF, happy day to celebrate some wins. Thank you for being here. Thank you for letting us give you some inspiration of what some wins are. And I'm hoping that these are helpful for you to see all the different things that can become a win in your day. Right? So if you're new to the Be It Pod, welcome. We do interviews on Tuesday, recaps on Thursday, answer your question on Thursday and also on Friday we celebrate your wins you send them in we read yours we read one of mine and then we have a little mantra at the end. Lesley Logan 1:13  So this one is from Djamila. She's an Agency member and she says, "I haven't posted in a while so here are a few things I've accomplished and ticked off my endless tada not to-do list." Ready for this guys? Here we go. Set prices for our Pilates classes high because I'm worth it. Set up Acuity and have first client booked with stripe payment working, too. Ordered mirror for the studio. Taught my first two (inaudible) teenagers, they are 15. Email the women's health clinic to present my services and offered a partnership. Becoming known donated 30 coupons for winners at upcoming local (inaudible) event. Got five people to sign up for the menopause and nutrition workshop I'm hosting. I'm totally into researching this topic of personal interest at the moment. Let myself cry and have a do-nothing-and-eat-carbs day because everything is so overwhelming. Everything is f* overwhelming. Stayed on top of my German class and homework. Planted some kale spinach in the garden. Got three weightlifting sessions in this week. Organized my daughter's birthday party. Wrote a script for videos I'll be filming in a week. Briefly marketed agency for an offer. Converted four clients who bought a discounted membership at via an online campaign to buy annual memberships. Listened to Mel Robbin's book, The Five Second Rule and I'm using it. I wrote to an old friend who's a lawyer and she's helping me convert my T and C and waiver, etcetera, into Swiss law. Djamila, thank you for like literally like putting all of these down on paper. I think so many of us wait to celebrate our wins until they're all at once. And then we're like, oh, should I still have all of them? It's like yeah, you should and I really do love you called it tada list. And it is an endless tada list. And so, same, I think we all need tada lists everywhere we go. So Djamila, thank you so much. You're doing incredible work. I know it's a lot. You're doing all on your own and you have recently moved and it's just a lot so you're kicking ass. I love it. Lesley Logan 3:02  I have one more from another Agency member, by the way, Agency is our coaching company we have an agency on demand so you can get office hours with us and on-demand stuff and so these are these wins coming from a lot of these members. Christine Eschen, oh my God it's not even FYF yet but I have to share. Had a newbie gone for two months. I just used a Phil Jones what-to-say format in a text. She responded a few minutes and bought a 10-pack and tipped me $160 and committed to two times a week. Abundance. Thank you Agency, LL, and Brad, this is for the Be It Pod. Yes, it is. Oh my God, Christine, way to go. I love, you guys, if you don't know what she meant by Phil Jones, there is a book about like selling from Phil Jones and a lot of our Agency members have been using it to help them with how to follow up with clients, how to check back in. And so way to go, Christine, for doing that. You are amazing. Lesley Logan 3:58  All right, a win of mine. We took another weekend off. You guys, we didn't need to, we could have, because we're trying to stay home, and we did. But like we really did take this long holiday weekend off because the holiday was in the middle of the week. And we spent some time with some friends. And then the two of us just like staycationed a bit, it was just really, really important that we did that. And I think, like, if you don't realize it, taking a weekend off and doing just stuff like life is a win, then you really have to reset and reframe what's going on in your life because being an adult is a lot of work. And it is easy to just do one more thing on the email or just check one more thing or get down on yourself or not do anything at all, you know, it is a win. It is a win to get bored. It is a win to take time for yourself. Also, another win is that I'm about three to four weeks in this like a pseudo elimination process. So I'm not doing a full elimination diet because that's not necessary. But as you know, I'm working with a company called FemGevity and I do hope that you use my free consult call if you if what I'm doing with them interests you. And they told me some of the stuff I'm sensitive to and I've been wondering why I'm so bloated all the time. And I start off the day not. And so I've obviously it's something that's going on my gut. And I have information about that coming up, I'll share with you later. But at any rate, I was having oat milk every day, should not be having that. There's different fruits that I'm very sensitive to. There is different (inaudible), it doesn't mean that I can't ever have them because these are not true, true allergies, but there's sensitivities and I need to go off of them for six to eight weeks and then try to introduce them. And it is just very interesting to find new ways to have your coffee. So I have been asking for help, which is another win. So several wins for this week. And I'm really proud of myself. And by the way, asking for help is a win. So pat yourself on the back because you're an overachiever if you're listening to this podcast, I know you. Hi. Hello, I see you. Anyways, you guys, thank you so much. Let me give you a mantra for your weekend or today because you don't have to remember all three days it's a lot to ask. So here it is. Letting go create space for opportunities to come. Letting go create space for opportunities to come. Letting go create space for opportunities to come. What can you let go have to create some space? Have an amazing day and until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 6:19  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

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 0:46  Hi, Be It babe. Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It podcast. I'm so grateful for you to be here. And don't take it lightly that you listen to this podcast. I'm always like overwhelmed by the downloads and the testimonials and the reviews. Thank you so very, very much for leaving reviews. It truly means the world to me. So on the FYFs, Fuck Yeah Friday, we actually celebrate wins of yours and a win of mine. And if I don't forget, I'm on track. I definitely screwed that up last week, but that's okay. We're allowed to make mistakes. That's a win, even just giving yourself permission to make a mistake. So here we go. We have first up Bianca Filoteo. She is an Agency member and just cool, cool person who I just adore. So here we go. Kicked off the first session of my intro to Pilates gym series last night and my students enjoyed it. I already have a waitlist for June intro classes. And I submitted my taxes finally on the last day of the deadline lol. Guess what? You know what? There are deadlines for a reason and you submitting on the last day is still submitting on time. So do not, do not ever, ever, ever, ever, you guys go oh my god I did it on the last day. Please. If they wanted you on the first day, they would have moved the deadline to the first day. So you're doing great. Lesley Logan 2:01  All right, Brigid Pearse, she said FYF I've had two discovery calls this week both my exact ideal client. It was so great to hear their journeys and have exactly the right offering for them. All I had to do was schedule them in they were both ready to buy from seeing my website and socials. Way to go. That is awesome. Lesley Logan 2:21  All right, Last up, we have Amanda Barbee. Vacation bound to the destination proclaimed last year. And a goal I work towards smarter, not harder. Thanks for Agency, still in awe and pinching myself that I get to do what I love, see the people who need me, have a work-life balance, I have a paid vacation and be self-employed. It's a big win. Lots of gratitude. Oh, and by the way, FYF, late post, my kiddo client 16-year-old with CP who trains with me two times a week won first place in a Special Olympics race, hit a goal, and has been working hard in the studio and at home taking ownership of his movement practice. So proud. Oh my gosh, Amanda, that is awesome. I love, I love all the wins. I love that you are seeing how a year ago you put things in place. And look what it's brought you. So often, they don't have instant gratification and so we, we may not continue on and be consistent but you were and because of that I know for a fact you've worked less, made the, made the same amount or more. And you have vacations, you recently got married, you have clients who you adore, you have a consistent schedule. It's just so beautiful to see. And it's all because of the hard work you've put in and been consistent with it and not bouncing around trying to make things work. You've really did. You dialed in and got really clear on what you wanted. And you did the work. So way to go. Thank you so much. You guys, it is possible to work for yourself and have paid vacations. It is possible to take time off and not go, oh, I'm not getting paid because I'm not working. No, that is not how it works. It's not how it's supposed to work. You would never take a job from an employer who is like, you'll find out how much money you'll make at the end of the year, like you would never do that. It's just not a thing. So Amanda worked her magic calculator and it is working. And I'm so proud of your client, too, like you clearly have helped them figure out how to take ownership of themselves and they're doing their own practice. And that is just awesome. They're so lucky to have you. And you were lucky to have them because they teach us so many things. Lesley Logan 4:14  All right. My win is you're to hear more and more about this, I'm celebrating it as a win, but you'll also hear about it in upcoming episode with a guest that I had and so you're kind of getting the end and then you'll get the beginning later but in May I had a full body checkup. So, FemGevity, they are, I do have a link for you. It'll be in the show notes. We'll have more ads going out. So you'll hear more about how this all got started on future episodes. But I did sign up and work with them. They sent a (inaudible) to my house I could have been like this is the busiest month I should just put it off to next month. But I didn't. I literally made it happen in the busiest frickin time. And then I got, the results came in. I did not I put off the consultation call on that I was like, what's the first I can get in, I'm doing that I'll move mountains to make that happen. And some of the results came in some I haven't gotten back yet at the time I'm recording this. But it was so great to hear that my blood tests were showing exactly what I was feeling. And they and I, they immediately took action and sent me some prescriptions that are going to support me and, and at the time that I'm recording this, I'm only four days into those prescriptions. So I cannot say for a fact that it's all rainbows and butterflies. But what I can say is, is that a win is that I advocated for myself, I did not deprioritize my health, and all of the chaos because in fact, without my health, I cannot do the chaos. I found a doctor and a company that is aligned with my values, enough to help me, listen to me and not put off what I was saying, because oh, it's in range, so you're fine. Like, I don't feel fine. Do not feel fine. And so I'm so, so, so grateful for them. But I'm also really, really frickin proud of myself for not putting off what I legitimately could have put off, I could have put off the blood test to June, I could have put off the call to June like I did not need to do it in the chaos. And I hope this is a reminder for every single one listening, please do not put off your medical health, just because you're busy. In fact, like you need baseline, but you also cannot keep up with the busyness forever without making sure everything is good. So if anything is feeling off, it's probably been off for a while. Right? And we make up excuses, we make up reasons, we make up things. It will affect your ability to do the things that you love. My health was affecting me showing up in my business. And it was tough. It is affecting me showing up as the person I want to show up as in, in other places, and I was withdrawing because I was just so tired all the time. So I cannot wait to see how I feel, you know, a month from now, when I've been on these prescriptions for a bit. And you'll hear more about that in the recap episode. So stay tuned to the (inaudible) episode. But if you don't want to wait to stay tuned for that to get some telemedicine help that will listen to you, ladies, FemGevity is the way to go. Check the link in the show notes. They are awesome. Lesley Logan 7:21  All right. Now a mantra because I'm not going to forget. I forgot last week. We already talked about mistakes are okay though, because we're still super cool. All right. Oh, this is a beautiful one. My body is beautiful in this moment and at its current size. My body is beautiful in this moment at its current size. My body is beautiful in this moment and at its current size. Ladies, you're amazing. Thank you so much for listening. Please share this with a friend let me know your wins so I can shout them out for you. Because I promise you on a day you're feeling low, if I share your win, you get to re-celebrate what you already did. It's kind of awesome. All right. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 8:00  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It 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 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 0:46  Hi, Be It babe. Welcome back. Welcome back to the inspiration station. You know, the thing that gives you some ideas of what could be possible wins on a week that might have just felt like a lot. And it's summertime. When the heat is up, it can just feel like a lot. Am I right? Okay, so how this episode goes, if you're new to the Be It pod, we actually share some wins of yours that you sent in, a win of mine and a mantra. Our interviews are on Tuesdays, our recaps are on Thursdays, listen to them all. They're a lot of fun. There's like incredible guests that are coming up as well and share it with a friend. I was gonna ask you now. I am practicing asking for more help things. More helpful things. And one of those things that would be really helpful for me is if you share our podcast with a friend, that's how we get new listeners. So, please don't keep it to yourself. That would not be fair. Lesley Logan 1:36  Okay. So here we go. The first one up is from Melissa Capitano. Oh, she is an eLevate grad, an agency member. I'm just so excited for this. Here we go. Not sure I've posted a win before but one of my goals is to be better in Slack and I figured wins is a great place to start. An early FYF, got a free course from Tanya Dalton, read her book for Book Club, need to listen to her pod episode. Anyway, she has this idea of five-minute miracle so I printed out the worksheet. I've been doing the five minutes before I leave work each night this week. That is so cool. I love that. We had Tanya Dalton on the pod, everyone. She is a great, great author. And so, definitely, listen to her episode. Agency members read her book. JOMO, which is like the joy of missing out, last month. So more for Melissa. Here we go. This lady just walked into the studio. She said she's never been in but is on our email list. I'm looking forward to my weekly emails. She came in to buy a gift certificate for her and her friend to do a private together, paid cash and didn't want change. Wow. I've been writing weekly emails for two years and three months. Definitely a long game. But this is your reminder to collect those email addresses and send something out regularly. Holy moly, Melissa, that is so cool. This is exactly what I tell people all the time, consistency is key. And you never know who's listening. It takes people 17 to 27 touchpoints now to click on anything. So the fact that you've been writing two years and three months, so if let's just say she's probably been reading them for two years, and now she's ready because now it's time to buy it for a friend and that's what people want to do. So way to go. Melissa, thank you for sharing both of those wins.Lesley Logan 3:10  I have a few wins from Ainsley Walker. She is an eLevate member right now and she's been in Agency for a couple of years and so got a lot of just great little wins from her and I love, I love the way that she sees wins and so I want to share that with you because I think she'd be great inspiration as well as Melissa to you seen amazing wins. I've been sharing and mentioning parts of moves I'm working on when I'm teaching so clients know I'm very much alongside them on their journey and in practice. And me not showing them perfectionist created more discussion giggles laughs and encouraged more questions from clients on what they're feeling. They are in particular loved it when I told them that I needed to get my bum higher and rolling like a ball and what followed was beautiful belly laughs where the whole class fell into complete hysterics. As I rested my shoulder my bum in the air I love this level of honesty, vulnerability that I've tapped into and can show. A new client just showed up to class out of curiosity I was able to chat and fill out forms before she loved it and signed up. In a class I was able to teach the repertoire and move to show her what her body needs. This week, I started a class by settling them in and then just saying your hundred, no more words needed. They all did their own hundred for their body. I heard angels sing. Al right, a couple more for Ainsly because again, they're just icing like how there can be wins and just chatting with people there can be wins and being vulnerable about what you're not doing great at that you're trying to help others be great at these help people have connections. So Ainsley Walker's watching weekend two of eLevate and this month my hips have changed. Yay, more open Russian Splits are more possible. So have you ever done anything you guys where you're just like, I'm not good at this. And then you know, just kept going and then allowed yourself to realize you are getting better at things? I think that's why not a lot of people like to film themselves and stuff but filming ourselves and things sometimes is the best way for us to us, especially visual learners, to see that we are having an effect, that we are making changes because we can always feel that we're making changes because we maybe are not exactly where we want to be yet. So I just really love that she was able to watch and then see how much her hips have changed and that Russian Splits are more possible. All right, last thing, I did the full mat order with my mat group, offered an alternative and when it came to the rocking, I went to demo so that they could reach towards their ankles. Instead of doing a full rock. Imagine a full rock like Lex, my advanced client, and as I said this my hands magically held my feet and then I started to rock somewhere along the fat. Last few months, my body's changed. I reached my goal move doing everything but the goal move. Lesley, you are right. But what was lovely was I squealed in delight, everyone clapped. And we all celebrate together. It was a great that the class new, saw that I'm working on my body, too and changes do happen when trusting the order. Yes. So something I should know, is that in eLevate, we do not practice the things you struggle with, to get better at the things you struggle with. You can still do them, especially if they're fine for your body. But what we really do focus on is what other things could help you do the exercise you struggle with. So where are you struggling with that exercise? Is it flexibility? Is it strength? Is it connections? What is it? What other exercises can help you do that?So it's what eLevate's focus is and the girls in eLevate, they focus on their body and for the teacher that they're they're working with in the program. And then hopefully, as they are learning how to do that with themselves, they do with their classes and their clients as well. And so Ainsley's win here is just proof that if you actually just focus on the connections that you need, you could just pop up into the exercise you have been practicing very much and do it. Way to go, Ainsley. Thank you for sharing all of these wins. It was so fun to relive them with you. Lesley Logan 6:52  Okay, so my win. My win is last month, I don't know if I told you guys, but Brad and I spoke at an event called Get Published Live. And I'll be really honest, a little bit of impostor syndrome about like, why was I being asked to speak on a topic that I just kind of felt it's not really a thing that I talked about. And so Brad and I did the talk together. And we were creating this workshop, and I just was like, oh my god, is this gonna be, is this is gonna be enough? Is this gonna be good enough? And I made this amazing, beautiful slideshow. Shout out to Brad, he really did that. And we presented together. And so a couple wins, I'm gonna celebrate this one, I have been wanting to make sure I insert Pilates workouts in anytime I speak because oh my gosh, people just sit all day. So I kicked it all off with everyone doing a standing pilates workout, even though some of them were in heels. That's fine. It worked out really well. And then Brad and I did our workshop together. And at the end, every single person found a different way to come up to us and tell us what they liked about it. And everyone liked a different part of the workshop, which is really amazing. And really beautiful and really fun. And I'm so glad that we did it. I'm not kidding, like part of me was like, why are we, why are we doing this? Like do, do they know? Like, are we gonna be, are we going to disappoint them? Do they know what we're talking about? So the win is that we overcame that impostor syndrome, or at least I did, I don't think Brad had any imposter syndrome around it. And we taught the workshop that was true to our hearts and true to our brand and true to like how we believe about things. And we had massive impacts there. The next win that comes from this is part of me was like, we should just dip out, we don't actually have to stick around, you know, you head to L.A. But the other part is like let's just stick around because like, let's be supportive of somebody. I'm not someone who likes to go to events, just do my thing and leave like that just doesn't sit well with me. I like to be there early enough to like hear what's going on. So it stuck with our values. And we stayed around. And I got to meet really cool people that, look, it hasn't happened yet. But we all have plans to follow up with each other. The next time I am in Arizona, so and also like, usually I would let Brad start those conversations or usually I would let them start a conversation with me or them come with an idea of how we could collaborate together and said this time, I was like, hey, here's what I do that I think might be interesting to your publication or to your podcast, like what do you think? And so I have to follow up now, but the win is that I put myself out there in a place where I could have been rejected, which wouldn't have been personal by the way, but it could have been and a lot of times we let the fear of rejection keep us from even trying it. So just shout out. There's so many different little wins that happen in this one event. And then also, you know, my husband and I were able to sit down and go okay, so what are some of the things we want to take away from this and what are some of the things we want to implement going forward? Because we, we do have a lot going on, and how, how many events can we participate in in a year? And which ones, why are we participating in them? You know, it can't, it's not always about money. You know, we often do some, some events for free so, so but what are we expecting out of it so that it is a win-win for everyone? And I just want to say like, big thanks to James Patrick, for inviting us to the Get Published Live, we learned so much. And I know that the people who attended our workshop learned a lot, too. So it's just really freaking cool to get to be a teacher and a student at the same time. So thank you. That's my win. What are your wins? I want to hear them. I want you to send to the Be It Pod. I want to celebrate you. We'll start it out on the next episode. And please do me a huge favor, share these episodes with friends who need them, those ones who just like, can't figure out what a win is. We have a rule inside of all of our groups. If you complain, you have to also go post a win, not allowed to wait to post a win, you have to post at the same day. Because there's always positive things that are happening. So if you've got someone in your life who just can't get positive, you can make sure that they have that rule for them too. You can tell what's going on in your life but you also tell us what's a win in your life we have to celebrate the wins. So happy FYF. Have an amazing day.
