Today I’m chatting with Davida Lederle, who is the blogger/podcaster/youtuber behind The Healthy Maven.  She uses her many platforms to help encourage women to live healthFULLY rather than living for their health. Given how similar our take is on health and wellness, it’s no surprise to me that I instantly clicked with Davida. Her goal in sharing her own experiences,  is to inspire you to be your own health advocate. And I could NOT agree with her more when she says “There are enough voices out there trying to tell you how to live your life, I’d rather be the person who reminds you that ultimately there is no better expert on you, than you.” IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: Her experience with being so transparent out on the interwebs “vulnerability hangovers” Processing things first before sharing with her online community Sharing our stories as a way of letting them go for ourselves Carrying shame and guilt for being in the wellness space while taking medication for her depression and anxiety If it feels like a full time job to holistically micro-manage your mental health symptoms – is this really living?

Today I’m chatting with fellow fitness trainer Jasmine Cruz.  I first met her in Nantucket, while visiting my gal pal Georgie Morley (who y’all may remember from episode #73 and #53 here on the pod).  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Jasmine and I hold very similar values when it comes to our approach to training (which is RARE!). Looking back, I was so caught up in my ego when I first began training. I was desperate to prove my worth to clients. Frantic to justify, with measurable data, that I could help people lose the inches and pounds. Fitness was a way to help someone achieve satisfaction with their appearance (a fleeting and never-ending goal). And while the road was paved with good intentions, I didn’t have the capacity to train outside of this mindset. Fortunately,  I’ve grown so much since that time, and my approach to training has shifted drastically. So you can imagine my delight when I met Jasmine who shares a similar story.   IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: Her journey to becoming woke as a personal trainer Her approach to training now vs. in the past The turning point that caused her to shift the way she […] The post LPP #76 Conscious Movement, Honoring Your Values, and Looking The Part with Jasmine Cruz appeared first on Liveng Proof.

Before I knew Beth Shaw, I knew yoga. I discovered yoga early on in my 20s, I knew I wanted to do it, but I knew nothing about it – not even that I should have a mat. I went to my first class, it was in a dimly lit room, nobody talked and I didn’t feel like I was doing it “right” and no one was there to help. It was so foreign and didn’t feel right at the time. I left that class and didn’t go back for a while, to any yoga class. This was probably early 2000s. I knew I needed more flexibility in my body, being a serious athlete; I had been playing sport since a child, growing into competitive sport at the provincial, national and university level and knew that my body needed more flexibility to it. However, I didn’t get serious about yoga again until I was in grad school when I found a little yoga school in my neighbourhood and decided to be brave enough to sign up for a class. It was an Iyengar yoga school and it changed my life. I discovered so much about how the body can strengthen and heal both physically, mentally and spiritually with this gentle practice and it felt like I came home. Finally a place where these aspects could co-exist in my life! Through my years of practicing various yoga styles, completing numerous 30-day+ challenges and studying yoga as far away as Brazil, I had entertained the idea of becoming an instructor, but it was always so complicated and you needed to travel to some far off place or commit to a whole month or more of doing a teacher training, and a ton of money – and that just wasn’t an option when you are working on your PhD in Engineering. So, I continued to work in the fitness industry while completing my degree and it wasn’t until years later that I discovered a modular program that enabled me to become a yoga instructor overtime. I thought this was great – it worked for my schedule and would let me know if I’d even like to be an instructor, if I could do it, if I wanted to do it as a job….and that was how I discovered YogaFit. Becoming an instructor did change my life and enabled so many great ways of getting to know my body more and helping others know theirs. What a journey…and here we are today, speaking with the founder of this amazing program! Beth Shaw​ is a pioneer in the Wellness, Yoga & Fitness space in North America.
