We're exploring the absurd and brilliant story of Anthony Curcio AKA D.B Tuber—a former football star turned true crime comedy icon. What started off as a well-planned armored truck heist soon unravels into chaos involving Craigslist decoys, a creek getaway on an inflatable inner tube, only for everything to come crashing down thanks to the unexpected brilliance of a local homeless man. From his criminal beginnings to a motivational comeback and finally to a Pokémon card scam under the alias “John Steele,” this funny true crime episode has it all—bad disguises, bad choices, and one of the strangest redemption arcs you've ever heard.   We give you just the Compendium, but if you want more, here are our resources: Heist and High – by Anthony Curcio TEDx Talk: From Addiction to Redemption – by Anthony Curcio Anthony Curcio – Wikipedia Host & Show Info Hosts: Kyle Risi & Adam Cox About: Kyle and Adam are more than just your hosts, they're your close friends sharing intriguing stories from tales from the darker corners of true crime, the annals of your forgotten history books, and the who's who of incredible people.

John Steele comes home after a variety of oonflict, both war-related and interpersonal, during the Vietnam war. Emotional damage that doesn't really come across due to leading man Martin Kove's resting confused face has led Steele to lose his wife, his career and his sobriety. When his BFF and former Army partner, Lee, is killed by an old war-era nemesis, "Steele is Back" and unleashed on a Vietnamese crime syndicate. A million movie tropes mash-up to create this Rambo/Commando/Die Hard combo, except with Martin Kove rather than Stallone/Schwarzenegger/Willis. Bodies by Jake. Lots of guns. A cool Gatlin gun truck. A rubber Coral snake on a fishing line. Steele Justice final grade: Steve calls this a fine movie, inoffensive and watchable by anyone who enjoys 80's era action. Pretty standard Reagan-era USA! USA! hero action. 3.41/5.0 Brandon says Steele Justice is a perfectly OK movie to watch. Basically the same storyline and production quality of every Stallone/Schwarzenegger/Norris movie of the 1980s. Unfortunately, Martin Kove can't carry a movie like those other guys. 3.00/5 Cocktail of the Week: Steele Justice 1 1/2 oz Tequila 1/2 oz Light Rum 2 oz Fresh-Squeezed Grapefruit 1 oz Fresh-Squeezed Lime Juice 1 oz oz Honey Syrup 1/2 oz Egg White Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker without ice. Dry shake a few times. Add ice and shake again. Double strain (all about that mouth feel) over ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge. Cocktail Grade: A great way to enjoy a grapefruit without a partner. A tasty sour that packs a little punch. One of them is good. Two are really good. 4.69/5 ------------------ Contact us with feedback or cocktail/movie recommendations to: boozeandbmovies@gmail.com X: @boozeandbmovies Instagram: @boozeandbmovies Threads: @boozeandbmovies www.facebook.com/boozeandbmovies --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/boozeandbmovies/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/boozeandbmovies/support

And first of all, I just wannasay, one of our top downloaded shows, so people are definitely interested in this topic. So I had to haveyou back Dr. Celeste can you tell everyone who you are and what you do, just in case they don't knowyet.Celeste Holbrook01:31Hi, Lesley. Well, thanks so much for having me back. My name is Celeste, I'm a sex educator, I helppeople find pleasure in the areas of their bedroom and their life. And I'm excited to chat today andextend our conversation from lasttime.Lesley Logan01:46Yeah, so me too. So Okay. Um, one of the things that I think we talked about kind of like, at the end ofour last episode, when we got off of the recording was like, just even bodies, like our bot, how we feelabout our bodies,how we feel in our bodies, what even society makes us feel about our bodies canhave that it can affect us in having sex be in the bedroom, be in the world. And so I kind of wanted tostart off with that and kind of hear what your thoughts are, and how you've kind of worked with peoplein that way.Celeste Holbrook02:15Yeah, for sure. And I think we both, you know, have this interesting perspective about body, you'reworking so much helping people be within their body. And so I'm really excited to havethisconversation in this dialogue, because I think it's so important. So as a sex educator, I'm working with-2-Transcribed byhttps://otter.aipeople one on one, I'm working with couples, and something that comes up so so often is, I don't feelcomfortable in my body, or I don't feel comfortable getting naked, or I don't want to have sex with thelights on, it's a really common one. Or if I just, you know, fill in the blank, then sex would be better. Andso that's probably where I want to start is that in terms of, in terms of sex, the waythat your body looksis such a tiny, tiny, tiny part of your sensual experience. So we think of sensuality as the use of yoursenses. You're talking about the way your partner tastes and the way your skin feels, and the way yourclitoris feels, and what you're hearing the the noise of your partner breathing. And so you're having thisbeautiful big sensory experience that has, and your vision or your partner's vision is such a small part ofthat experience, right? And it's so clouded by culture and societyand what we deem as appropriatelysexy. And so you can have the most beautiful, orgasmic erotic, wild, lovely sexual experience inwhatever body that you have. It's like it's not required to look a certain way in order to have great sex.Lesley Logan03:56Okay, love everything I'm like, like, that's just like, please like rewind, save that. Because I don't thinkpeople even think about that way, the way you just, like laid out what our sexual experience can be hasvery little to do with how we look because it's that's not even where we're feeling. And it's so funnybecause like, it sounds so simple. And yet that none of us are thinking about that like you said, we'relike, oh, if I if I look a different way, or if I lose some weight, or if like all thesedifferent pressures we puton ourselves as if that's what's going to make the sex better. But that's not it at all. What you just said islike not at all.Celeste Holbrook04:35And to be fair, you you might feel better if you put on a piece of laundry that you feel really great in,right. But I think as we're going to dig in today, that's more about actually feeling safe in your body thanit is about looking a certain way. And maybe we just don't right in here, so I haven't yet...(Lesley: Yeah,yeah, yeah. Let's go there.) Okay, so I have this theory. about the way that we interact with our ownbodies. And I have been calling it the harm reduction theory. I don't know if that's a great use of thatterm. But basically, I feel like the things that we do, I'm gonna say as women, but this applies foranybody. But women have more pressure from society to appear a certain way, right? The things thatwe do to manipulate our appearance, we do them to help reduce the negative messaging that actuallygets through. So think about it like armor. And that's why I call it the harm reduction approach. So myeyelashes that I put on, my nails or whatever it is that you're doing makeup, boob job, it doesn't matter,whatever it is that you're doing to alter your appearance, is in an effort to feel safe from the negativemessages we continue to get, right? So putting on eyelashes, putting on makeup is kind of the price Ipay to be heard. Sometimes, like, I want people to pay attention to me. So I'm going to look like theywantme to look a lot of the times. And so I think that helps give us some compassion. Both directionslike compassion for the woman who has a BBL, right, we want to like sometimes tear her downcompassion for though woman who doesn't do anything. (...) So. Soit's a way to give compassion to allends of the spectrum, really, of how we interact with our own appearance in the world.Lesley Logan06:32Yeah. Yeah, all that. And I, I, it's so, it's so true. You said feeling safe in our body. And one of the thingslike that attracted me to doing Pilates was actually felt like I was in my body for the first time. Like, I waslike, Oh, I'm, what am I feeling I've never felt before. Oh, this is this is me being in my body. Right? So-3-Transcribed byhttps://otter.ailike, yeah, I can so relate to whatyou're saying and understand it. Because I think so many people aredisassociated from their body from feeling things that when they don't feel safe inside it, because it'snot familiar to them. And then we are doing all these things. We think we do all these things to be likefeel, to feel seen and feel heard. And all of that keeps you from actually just being feeling like all thatstuff, feeling safe. Unless you are consciously making the choice. I'm doing this because it makes mefeel a certain way. Sowhat are your steps for helping women? Or everyone listening, but like, How dowe start to feel safe, safe in our body? Like, like, is it, Do we need to like, touch ourselves more? Do weneed to like be with ourselves more? Like, what are those steps thatmay be like, baby steps to like, thenext level?Celeste Holbrook07:45Yeah, yeah, well, since we, since I am usually viewing the lens of sex, let's talk about it in terms of sex,right. So, I think, the first step really, for feeling great in your ownsex life and safe in your own body isto just to become aware of what you want your sex life to feel like emotionally, because then you canstart to build in. These are the behaviors that helped me feel the way I want to feel. So let's say you andI are partners, and we do this activity together. So I sit down and I say okay, my dream sexualexperience would feel, I really get down to like, what do I want to experience emotionally when I'm withyou in a sexual experience? I want to feel erotic, wild, connected and loved. Okay, so those are myfeelings. And then you write it down. I want to feel intimate and close and connected and safe, right?And so then we look at both of our lists and say, like, Oh, we're both looking for connection. We're bothlooking for some fun. And I have some words over here that maybe you don't have, and you have somewords over here that I don't have. But at least we know what we're both kind of going for. Right? Yeah,yeah. So we know emotionally what we want. And then you can start building behaviors. And so if thebehaviors I'm coming around to body in a second, so then the behaviors might be like, Okay, we bothwant to feel connected in sex. What if we spend a little bit more time talking before sex? What if we hadmore sex where we are looking at each other instead of you're looking at the back of my neck orsomething like that? And so then when you get down to the behaviors, then is where you start to saylike, Oh, I feel uncomfortable when you're looking at me straight on. Right? then then you can start tounderstand or feel like, oh, that's this place where I feel a little something. Something's coming up, youknow, and I really don't love the word insecure because I think a lot of women aren't necessarilyinsecure. I think they are driven by culture to tell you like you don't look okay. Right? When deep downI'm pretty secure. But everybody's telling me I shouldn't be because of the way that my body works, orlooks.Lesley Logan10:05Right. Okay. Yes. So I love that you work backwards. That's a great way to think about it. Like, it's like,okay, where do we want? Where does it work? The end result is how we want to feel at this stage. Andthen what are the behaviors that will get us there, and then seeing which behaviors feel good or feellike I would like to run away from that right now. And then going inward on those things. And that canbe stuff we have to do around our bodies, or it could be other things we have to explore with our partneror with ourselves. And so that is really interesting. And I also have never heard anyone talk aboutinsecure in that way. I think you're completely correct. And you should do a TEDx on this. Because weare walking around thinking we're just insecure, when really, we actually know what wewant. But it'sthe outside world, it's telling us that we're wrong. Yeah, yeah. Cuz Would you feel that way about your-4-Transcribed byhttps://otter.aibody if you were alone on a fucking Island? You would not. So it's not about you. It's about everybodyelse. Oh, my goodness, how do we?Where do we start with that? We'd like to start with our children(...) we would start with ourselves, I think, yeah, you know, because actions are not caught on top. Butokay, so, so okay, we, we've gone through the steps of like, how we could figure outwhere our workneeds to be. What have you found in working with couples and people on bodies that they haveenabled,l ike we've heard some steps or some tips or some tools that have helped them kind of getaround that? Because I do. I hate saying, okay, just turn the lights off. Because that'd be a terrible like,your partner wants to see you. I'm sure they are with you. So where are we? Is it that we've gotta workwith a therapist, like, is it outside of your scope? Like what do we, what do you do?Celeste Holbrook11:55Yeah, so some things that, let's start here. Most people feel a little weird on some level on some thingsin sex, like, oh, like, my, the way that I feel right now is not right, or whatever. So this is not, you know, ifyou're listening,I don't want you to feel like you're out of the ordinary. If you feel, you know, this feelingsof insecurity or discomfort around your appearance or your body in sex, that's most people. You're notalone. Right? And so I think the next step for once you have identified the behaviors that you want toengage in that help you feel what you want to feel, then is where you do the work where you are sobeautiful at emulating is embodiment is really, okay, when we're in this behavior that we both agree onbringsus connection. How do I continue to get back into my body because a lot of times insects, we willspectator, which is where we look, we feel like we're watching the event, instead of being inside theevent or like, Oh, should I be louder? Should I be softer? Should I, you know, pull my sheets up overmy butt or whatever. And so, noticing that, oh, you know what, I'm not in my body right now. I'm goingto come back into my body. What does my clitoris feel like? What do my boobs feel like? What is thefeelingof my partner's hand on my butt? Like getting back into your actual body using your senses, andwe call that anchoring. And Pilates and yoga and all kinds of different movement activities are reallyhelpful for a lot of people in that practice. Okay, return, return, return back into my body, so that I canhave an experience with you that feels fully embodied, and pleasurable and present. So the process ofanchoring is the answer that question I think.Lesley Logan13:53Yeah, yeah. And also like, Thanksfor bringing up (...) shout out to Pilates. Because I always say likehow we do one thing is to do everything. So if you're distracted in your movement practice, you'regonna be distracted while you're driving, be distracted while you're having sex, like your need to straplike, like, we have to have these moments. We practice how we want to feel and be so that we candraw upon them when it's needed, like a strength and a muscle. I'm gonna totally sidetrack ourconversation. Just want you to know that Joseph Pilates definitely created Pilates for sex. He actually,that's awesome. He told there's a book called The Caged Lion. John Steele wrote it. And JosephPilates took John on a walk and he's like, You need to have more sex. And John was like, thrown off bythis 80 year old man telling what do you need to do. And he said, all of the exercises I created are sopeople can have better sex.Celeste Holbrook14:41I love that. I really need to know more about this. I need all the information here.-5-Transcribed byhttps://otter.aiLesley Logan14:49I think like, you know, I mean, not our society so harsh on our bodies and what we're supposed to looklike and even as a body positivity movement, unfortunately as women who are bigger bodies, if they dogo on a journey of weight loss for whateverreason, personally, professionally, whatever that is, they're,they're attacked for it. So on both spectrums, like you said earlier, we cannot win, you cannot, it doesn'treally matter, someone's going to hate on you from any side. And so, you know, whathave you found?You have your daughters, you work with a lot of women, what have you found to help women whomaybe have not realized that they're not insecure that they just that they just haven't owned what theyknow about themselves how they want to feel?Celeste Holbrook15:31Yeah, you know, I really love, I was on board for body positivity until I realized it was still about thebody. And so I, I love the idea of actually just neutrality, I don't have to love my body, but I don't have tohate her. And so body neutrality is just like, Yeah, this is my body. And this is what how she functions isthat she doesn't function. And this is how we're going to work together to get through life. Andsometimes that does mean not shaming yourself for engaging in those harm reduction activities ofmaybe it is weight loss, right? Maybe it is surgery, right? Maybe it is something that helps you movethrough the world in a safer way. And that's okay, like, we have to be okay with that for women to dothat. And continueto march towards the idea that my body, I am more than my body, right? I'm somuch more. And so, you know, it is interesting. I do have, as you say twin daughters who are 11. Andthere are no two humans on Earth that are compared more than identical twingirls. Oh, she's the blankone. Oh, she's the blank one. And it's always around appearance versus boys that get a little bit morelike, Oh, he's the athletic one, or he's the smart one or whatever. Identical twin girls are compared morethan any other to humans on Earth, their bodies, right? People talk about their bodies all the time.Lesley Logan17:14That has to be so hard to, like, observe.Celeste Holbrook17:17Oh, I call it out now actually. So so much. You know, people want to say like, Oh, she's the bigger oneor she's the taller one or she's the littler one or she's the whatever one she has a frog or she has shorthair. She has brown hair, like actually Zoey really loves art and Ella really loves theater. And you know,I will like redirect the conversation so, so hard just to try and change the way that we automaticallymake comments about women's bodies from the get go. To the point where I think I almost went toofar. My my, one of my daughters asked me the other day she she asked me like Mom, do you think thatI am pretty? Because I never ever say anything about their appearance, right? And I was like, Oh,maybe I maybe I maybe I went too far.Lesley Logan18:05The pendulum swung. Yeah, I mean, I guess like that. I first of all, I thinkit's amazing that she evencame to you. So like, kudos to like you've obviously taught her a lot. But also like you're trying to protecther so much from that and she's going to be there are both going to be inundated with it in all of lifeoutside of thehousehold. So it's kind of hard. That's a hard, hard thing to walk. But I have not thoughtabout that about like, just, it's okay to like, like, like it's almost like the word whelmed. It's okay to be-6-Transcribed byhttps://otter.aiwhelmed about your body, you can just like it's like, it doesn't have to be this thing that I love or I hate Ican actually be very neutral about it. We can all be neutral about everybody's bodies. And then maybewe'll see even some of those harm reduction things even reduced because people won't be needing toseek certain ones out or more most of many out just for feeling seen.Celeste Holbrook18:58Yeah, I love that you are getting where I'm trying to go. I feel like I'm like all over the place right now.But like, that's where I would love, I would love us to do just as much harm reduction as we need inorder to continue to move forward in diversity of body and where we can see, and I think and I and Iwould love to hear your view on this. I think we've done a lot in the last I would say five years. I thinkwe've really like you're seeing so much more diversity online and you're seeing all these differentbodies, right?Lesley Logan19:30Every mailer I get I like will look at I'm like, Oh, they kept her stretch marks and oh, they have this andand so like, I noticed that in a way that like excites me because it becomes more makeups it becomesmore than norm like you're just seeing that. I'll actually so where I started. So I grew up in a householdwhere my grandmother was over 300 pounds you lose 100 gain100. Thin Finn was like the best thingshe was so sad was taken off the market. So I've definitely like I was in a diet culture household. I justthought you were on die. it Are you off the diet, but likeCeleste Holbrook20:03There's only two choicesLesley Logan20:04Yeah, that's it, you don't just like enjoy your food that you're eating. Shout out to like the snack wells.Right? So we'll be at three different types of milk (...) Skim milk, 2%, home. Yeah, my brother had togain weight, I should belosing weight, like the whole thing. That's not my parents fault. I was doing amodeling thing. So anyway, I do get you're going with this. And I, the reason those I noticed thosethings in a positive way is because when I was a first Pilates instructor,this woman came into thestudio, and I was running the studio, and she went to the teacher, and the teacher was like, okay, sowhat are your goals? Like, what, what? Why are you seeking out Pilates, which is like a typical thing,you'd ask people for any reason they're trying to hire you, right? And the girl goes, well, I want to looklike her. And she puts an ad of a woman in lingerie in front of us. And, you know, the teacher was like,well, you're very beautiful. I don't like why do we need to look likeher. She's like, because that's me.She like this is I'm the model. And they have airbrushed her. So she's the model for this line. And theyairbrush her. So everything that's put out is not her real body that we're looking at right now. So like shehad ababy, and she's trying to get back to who she was no, like, she's trying to be something that doesnot exist in physical form. And I remember going, Holy fuck, what are we all doing here? Like, what arewe doing here? How am I contributing to this? I did not have the tools at the time. But like, I've definitelyin the last five years have seen like, how there are tools out there that we can no matter what sizebusiness you have, like tap into, and also just being kind of like changing different words. But if that wasnot the first model that I ever saw, do that another girl, I was at a pool event for a bunch of fitnessinfluencers. And she's like, Yeah, I'm just trying to look like this again, I'll just like like this. And I said, I-7-Transcribed byhttps://otter.aidon't really understand.She's like, well, I use IU, she used her own app to remove her ribs to like, looka certain way. And I really was just like, having such a hard time because I was also looking to all thesepeople who, because of what society was doing to them, or they're doing to themselves, that wasactually not reducing harm, it was actually causing more. And so I, I really liked the where you're going.And I feel like we have come so far in five years, in the last five years, I think we have a lot more workto do on people, not judging people wherever they are on their journey in their own bodies. And that's,that's where I get like really frustrated, cuz I get frustrated for the girls that that one of them works for usin another capacity. And she's sharing her journey.And she was trying to lose weight. She's trying tohave a baby, she's type one diabetic. And people were just either criticizing her for trying to be ateacher or criticizing her for trying to lose weight. I was like, Oh my gosh, this poor girl, like it'snot ourplace to decide what she wants to look like. So I really appreciate you bringing that up in this episode.Because I think we can all think about how are we, first of all, forgiving ourselves for doing harmreduction acts that we might be participating in or want to. And then also, maybe being kinder, as yousaid earlier to people who are. Yeah, yeah. And I think you hit the nail on the head is that we're all like,we're all trying to feel better. We're all trying to like, move in this way towards something that feels likevitality for our own life. Right? And probably a year from now, I'll think back to this conversation. But Iwould have said something different, right? Because I think about that on a year ago is podcast and I'mon a journey too, but I think that us as a whole. And maybe I'm talking about women as a whole movingtowards the idea that all our bodies are Okay. And yeah, you know, they're all welcome here. Yeah.Yeah. It's funny, I was listening to another podcast, and it's a comedian.And she, somebody criticizedhow she like, did a 90 second thing on a holiday. And she said, You know, when you're a professionalspeaker, and you like speak for living just (...) it's just a numbers game, you're going to say things like, Ishould have said that a little bit differently, or I should have been a little bit more clear or, or this or that.She's like, soundbites or clips like or reels only have 90 seconds like you're reduced to hoping peoplecan read between the lines. And of course, somebodysomewhere is going to take somethingespecially anything we say even today or any episode I've ever had out of context. And hopefully it isfor conversation and not an accusation. I think there's a difference there like and I think also, you know,being kind to ourselves about the intent we had at the time we set it at and as we as we get older welearn more, the more information, the more people you coach, I'm sure like, you'll even maybe it's notharm reduction theory, it's a, you change the words, whatever. And I think like, that's part of, if we can'teven start to be kind to each other for being in process of figuring out the theories are working on.That's even one maybe step towards being kind to each other about how we look.Celeste Holbrook25:23Yeah, well, I mean, for sure, for sure. And like I recently have been really working on being called in,like, you know, being being called in for whatever some, you know, this probably happens to you too,happens to everybody, somebody DM me the other day, like, you know, what you said on this reel, or,or what was a webinar I was doing about menopause was really harmful to me. And I felt like it was notgreat. Not great suggestion. And I went and got some help from a different provider. And this is whatthey said, and this was really helpful. And I thought you should know. And I just wanted you to knowthat this was, this was my experience with your content. I was like, All right, though. Okay. Like, I wentback and listened to her. And I was like, I couldsee where she was coming from. Right? And so the,what I have been working on is creating thickness around being called in so that I can be better. Youknow, and sometimes people call you and you're like, meh, I don't, I don't know. But a lot of times there-8-Transcribed byhttps://otter.aiis a little bit of a grain of opportunity to learn in there. And so I think it goes both ways, calling in kindlyand also being too fragile about when it happens, you know?Lesley Logan26:44I think that calling and kindly is like, is the thingthere, though. Like, I actually love that she caredenough about you. Yeah. And the content that you're putting out there to share that what yousuggested, or what she heard, was not helpful. But here's what was. And I that kind of feedback is, itdoes feel like a kick to the stomach. Sure. But also it's like, wow, had this person not told me (...) I maynot know that this I could reward I could rephrase this, or I could qualify this or, or, you know, whatever.And I think so that's really cool because so few people actually take the time to share that. Otherpeople will take no time at all to be kind and they will, and for that it's like hard, because it's like, there'sno, there's no actual back and forth, there's no way to actually lean into that and, andengage in aconversation. So I think it's like, Yes, I have had to as well. And sometimes like, you know, we've I'velooked at it, and I'm like, okay, can see what you're saying that is really not at all the intent of that. Andlike, how can we keep goingforward without having that intent? Like, what do we do to change thewords, we need to change this thing? Like, and, and so I think, and then also who is saying it alsomatters to me like, I'm like, this is, I might, have I always been creating this foryou, or are you actuallybetter suited like for this over here? And that's like, so, you know, it's hard to know. But it's like, it'sbetter to even like, evaluate and go, where does this feel? Where did I make like, what can I learn fromthis? And, and then also, like, we're always learning I think it's really hard for, as people who arespeakers of a topic. Of course, we're considered experts. And so we are held to a higher standard, butat the same time, like we're still human beings, there's still moreto learn. There's still types of situationsyou may have not encountered yet in your expertise.Celeste Holbrook28:43Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And I think what you said earlier, about, like, what was my intent?And what was the impact? like,impact always, to me, means more than my intent, like, I didn't mean to,you know, give this kind of what felt like hard advice about menopause. But the impact was that she feltunseen and unheard. And so the impact was always more important than the intent for sure.Lesley Logan29:13Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, I think it's also something to talk about with this topic is like, you know,there's people who are, you know, in monogamous relationships, where their bodies are gonna changeas we get older, notjust menopause, but like, you know, we're gonna get older, both parties are gonnaget older unless you keep trading him for a younger model. (...) ladies, go ahead. The men have beenthere for a long time, by all means. No judgment on that harm reduction,if that works for you. But, whatare your suggest, like, I'm obviously, you mentioned, like having that conversation with your partner. Itfeels like that conversation is going to change over time, maybe even constantly. Or maybe even in amonth, but alsolike over the course of our of our relationship. How have you seen people approachthat as human? As we get older, our bodies are gonna change, like, how have you seen peopleapproach that?Celeste Holbrook30:12-9-Transcribed byhttps://otter.aiYeah, well, I think it's if we can thinkabout it as a beautiful thing, meaning you're not having sex withthe same person for 40-50 years. You, I mean, it's the same person in your bedroom, but you aretotally new people. Because of your experiences, and because of what you've been through and whatyou're, what you're currently going through. And so in a way, it's kind of like it brings that novelty, whichwe thrive off of insects, we want things to be novel all the time in sex. And so what I like to teachcouples is that your best bet for a longterm sexually pleasurable relationship is sexual resiliency. Andwhat I mean by that is the ability to look at your sex life and go, Okay, where can we pivot? Where canwe do something different? Okay, you're having trouble with erectile, you're having erectile issues,right? Where can we pivot to where we still experience some really beautiful pleasure and connection,but maybe an erection isn't always required? Right? So how do we define sex more broadly? If wedefine sex based on what we want to feel instead of what we do, right? then sex becomes like veryopen. And maybe sex when we first got together was penis and vagina you know, so heteronormative,right? But maybe as we age sex is both laying down and touching each other. Or maybe sex as we ageis you giving me some looks across the table from waffles when we're 70. You know, and I feel all ofthose fun, beautiful things again. I used to go and teach courses for the early onset on Alzheimer's unit,where you have a partner without Alzheimer's and a partner who has just been diagnosed, and we'regoing to talk about, okay, as the disease progresses, how do you still connect intimately when possiblysome consent is going to come off the table eventually? Because consent is not there anymore, offeredanymore, right? What's your sex gonna look like? Is it, you know, holding hands on the porch while youwatch the sunrise? Is that you're going to be your sex eventually. Right? And so being able to redefineit over time is the key to sexual resiliency.LesleyLogan32:42Yeah. It's almost like you have to like put through like, every year you're checking your insurance thingsevery year, you're checking, you're making sure you've updated all these things. Maybe you're like,Hey, where's our consent on? Yeah,exactly. You know? Yeah. I don't know if we talked about this onthe last episode, we might have. So forgive me, everyone. But when you talked about the Alzheimer'sthing, this is there was a New York Times article on elderly sexually active adults. And how muchcriticism there was a judge who, whose husband has Alzheimer's and like, he had a partner in thehospital that he was with, and she was like, so like, there was a there was a picture of someone whereshe was this judge was famous judge in the Supreme Court was sitting with her husband, who hasAlzheimer's, who was also sitting with his partner from the hospital. And people are like, how could shedo that? It's like, everything is on her. Like, she's just being like, rude. But it's like, her husband hasAlzheimer's. He's in a hospital. And we're judging that these two people who are like on a different roadin their brain than the rest of us are having some sort of consensual relationship.Celeste Holbrook33:54Non monogamous. Yeah.Lesley Logan33:55Yeah. And so I just felt so bad for her, but the whole article kind of went into, like, where we, as adultshave, have, like, adult children have got to let their parents sexual behaviors be what they want them tobe. And it's not our choice.-10-Transcribed byhttps://otter.aiCeleste Holbrook34:13Yes. Yeah. You can't regulate that. Yeah.Lesley Logan34:16Yeah. They try to regulate you, but you don't get to do it.Celeste Holbrook34:20You don't get to do it. You don't get to do it. And it's part of like, if you thinkabout, you know, part ofthriving for a parent might be their sexuality and their ability to feel pleasure in that way. And, youknow? how if we can just move past the the puritanical shame around sex, and if we can just look at itlike, Oh, what a beautiful thing that they can still engage in that helps them feel human, right? Sex justhumanizes us. Pleasure just humanizes us and so if we can just move past our own stuff, you know,then it's like, oh, yeah, that's actually a really beautiful thing.Lesley Logan35:00Yeah, the movie pass the puritanical shame. I feel like that might be your other book...(Celeste: Yeah,for sure.) I feel like it's a series.Celeste Holbrook35:13I think you are totally right.Lesley Logan35:15Oh my gosh, oh mygosh, Dr. Celeste, I just adore our conversations. I love exploring this topic withyou, I know that it affects so many people. And so just being able to bring you into their world into theirear so they can explore more with you. Because, you know, beinguntil we see it is really hard to do ifyou're not feeling seen, and if you are not experiencing all parts of yourself. And it can be really difficultto go out there in the world if like, you also don't feel super strong, and your sex life or how you feel inyour body and all that stuff. So this is just a really wonderful topic. This will not be the last time we hadyou on the show, just because I fucking love you. Let's have at least an annual if not semi annual. I loveit. We'll do a whole series. That's my podcast, I can do what I want. You can do whatever you want.Before I let you go, we're gonna take a brief break. And then we're gonna find out where people canfind you, follow you, work with you. And then you'll Be It action items. // All right, Dr. Celeste. Where doyou like to hang out? What's your favorite social places? Which website? Where can people work withyou?Celeste Holbrook36:17Well, I'm on Instagram at Dr. Celeste Holbrook. That's Dr. Celeste Holbrook, where we have a lot offun, and we sling a lot of dildos.

And I just love to hearfrom you. I love hearing what you got to say. Ican learn a little bit from you.Lesley Logan36:45-11-Transcribed byhttps://otter.aiYeah, so yeah, you have a deemer, if you aren't, I hope that you feel safe and secure to share whatyou took away from this episode, because it would bepart of that taking away the shame of the topic.Celeste Holbrook37:17I am trying to get on a TEDx stage to talk about pleasure. And so I am using the idea of discipline to doand submit applications even when I don't want to like not waiting for motivation. So that wouldprobably be what I have to offer today is, discipline used to scare me, because I thought it took awayfreedom. But in in reality, discipline has opened me up to lots of opportunities. So discipline, even whenyou don't feel motivated.Lesley Logan37:49What a great reframe of that word. Right. You know?...(Dr. Celeste: I hated that word before) Yeah.Well, because it sounds like you need to be disciplined. (...) But you're, you're actually taking this like, ifI'm disciplined on this thing that I want, even if I don't want to do it right now, it's gonna open up thedoors for the things I want. I love that. And you must let us know when you get a TEDx because we willhave we have to share it. We'll have to put it in the show and haveto have you back. We'll put it in theFYFs. A new segment on on the Be It pod on Friday. That's Fuck Yeah Friday, so you must share awin. So we'll have to share yours when that happens. Yeah. I love you. You're amazing. You're doingsuch amazing work forpeople everywhere and especially women. So thank you for being here,everyone. Thank you for listening. You know, please, I'd love for you to share this publicly. It'd beamazing. It'd be a step and a thing of you and look at me. I'm helping get rid of shame around this topic.However, at the very least, maybe text it to a friend. Let us, get us a review and let Dr. CelesteHolbrook know what your takeaways were.

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.Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co hosts in life, Brad and I are going to dig into the flooring convo I have with Claire Sparrow in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that one, feel free to pause this now, go back and listen to that one and then come back and join us. And you're gonna want to listen to it because we there's no way we could cover all the things that she explained. But y'all if you've heard about your pelvic floor, if you've been told to strengthen your pelvic floor, if you've just been told, oh, you pelvic... it's okay that weak pelvic floor because you had all these kids like, no. Remember Jessica Valant whole thing that like just because it's normal doesn't mean it's optimal. So go back and listen to Claire, first of all, she has an amazing accent. So it's really one, wonderful to listen to. What do you think? (Brad: I think so.) Yeah. So anyways, go listen to that one but you can listen to this one now ...Brad Crowell  Well, she you know I mean it's what is the pelvic floor? I like (Lesley: It's not a floor ...) come from your from the yoga world. And we don't talk about pelvic floor over there. But I always like I had one teacher years ago talk about the punch bowl of the hips and he talked about keeping it level so that you punch bowls not spilling anything ever. And so that's what I came from so when I learned this phrase the pelvic floor, I'm just imagining a fucking punch bowl. (Lesley and Brad laughs) I never told Claire that but ....Lesley Logan  She knows that now. I also just love that she's like it's not even a floor like right there is like, why are we calling it that? Because it does make you think that like, you know, I don't know, it just makes you think you have to like, put a new flooring, and that's not that's not it at all. So it's a diaphragm. Anyways, that's also an episode. So, um, we are currently clearly sitting next to each other.Brad Crowell  Yeah, if you're watching on YouTube, surprise, we decided to change it up a little bit today.Lesley Logan  We have to do this to other podcast where we're a couple and so like, the best thing to do was just like be on the same side because they were on their same side. And then Brad left town and then he came back and went to record these recaps before we travel and the mi...Brad Crowell  Still set up this way. (Lesley: Still set up this way. So ...) But it's kind of cool. You know, it could be it could be good, it's a little weird that I'm not looking at you.Lesley Logan  I know. I'm like ...Brad Crowell  I know. We keep looking glancing at each other.Lesley Logan  It's weird. Anyways, (Brad: Yeah. We'll see. We'll see.) I don't think we're sticking with it. Because I have to sit in my chair in a weird way. It's not, I'm not loving it. Anyways, we're gonna we're gonna love it for the moment. (Brad: I'm loving it.) So we are currently if you listening to this in real time, we are somewhere around Delaware at this point in time. We're in Delaware right now.Brad Crowell  Yeah, we're in Delaware right now.Lesley Logan  Yeah, we're in Delaware. So that means we have we have hit up Dallas, Houston, Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta, Greensboro, and we are chillin in Delaware, which I think we probably are about to drive into Philly at this point. But yeah, it's winter tour time. And if you are like, "What this tour is happening? How do I get in on it?" There are two options left. I'm gonna be honest. It says you can join us in Cleveland, St. Louis, St. Louis has sold out. But ...Brad Crowell  Yeah, St. Louis is probably sold out at this point, Cleveland has a few extra spots. (Lesley: It's sold out so fast.) If there's a demand for in St. Louis like, we have the potential to add a second class. But you got to tell us that that's something you're interested in. (Lesley: Yeah) It's a reformer class. So you know, just send us a DM.Lesley Logan  Yeah. So I'm it, I love our tours. So much fun. Before the tour, I got to go to one of our stops, right, like a week before. (Brad: Yeah) That, it's just it's a lot of fun to get out and see all we love, we love where we live. We love to get out and get to where you are. So that's a lot of fun. We will be hanging out in Denver for a little lunch sesh. So if you are one of our peeps out in Denver, make sure you reach out to us ... so we can let you know.Brad Crowell  Yeah, cuz we don't know exactly what time we'll be rolling through. So we're gonna get not until we get a little closer.Lesley Logan  No, it's a road trip. So we're, you know, if we can have a detour we can like, go shopping. The dogs need a dog park. So we were some of these things you fly by the seat of your pants. And we just want to say, because while while there might be another episode, no, the next episode that you'll hear us is after Christmas. So right now and take this moment to say we're wishing you a very happy holiday. (Brad: Yeah) We hope you're enjoying your family. (Brad: Yeah, absolutely.) If you don't enjoy your family, I hope you're having a great time rocking out with yourself in the family you chose.Brad Crowell  Yeah, exactly. Or being by yourself. Because (Lesley: Oh my God.) that could be great, too.Lesley Logan  I did Thanksgiving alone ish. My dad and I went out had dinner or lunch together. And I have to just say this. It was glorious. I slept in. And then I was like, I don't have I don't I don't have anything, I don't any I can't do whatever I want. Whatever I want right now, I highly recommend at least a holiday alone. Anyways, okay, we have to talk about Claire. But first, we have an audience question to share.Brad Crowell  We do. This is really cool. So thank you for actually reaching out here and firing off this question. It was specifically about a previous episode. So if you all heard ... (Lesley: 157) Yeah. Episode 157 with Kate Wind. The question was, hey, I'm listening to the latest episode today. Are there any Feng Shui books you would recommend? And we thought, since we're not the person to answer this question, we should reach out to Kate. So she actually just got back to us. And she said, well, she actually wrote a book. (Lesley: Yeah) And she would absolutely recommend her book. (Lesley: Yeah) So her book is called Vision Board Feng Shui, and it's an E-WorkBook. And we will have the link for you in the show notes. So (Lesley: Yeah) basically, she said, It's great for all levels of people who are interested in Feng Shui, it'll help you understand the concepts and start, you know, working through that in your own life.Lesley Logan  Yeah, and so you can, so Kate Wind has, she's on Instagram, and she has her own podcast as well she and her mom do it's called Mom and Me and Astrology. And I really do get a kick out of their podcast it's I just love her view on these things. And I also have another listener bold moment was like, I looked up where my door faces and I like looked up what that is and I just love hearing these things from you guys because thank you for listening first of all, that's amazing. But also the whole goal of bringing these different guests on is to help you make changes and you don't have to make these big changes like even Kate said it right but even Claire said you don't have to like go all in it's an all or nothing. It's like what can you like just look up you know, someone else looked up their Strength Finders, they did their their their Strength Finders as well. (Brad: Oh, I love that.) Yes. And so so we have to have a whole conversation. (Brad: Share share us your results.) Yeah, so I got a result. We were on a coaching call. She's an Agency member. (Brad: Okay great. Okay cool.) And then we got to use Kevin Kepple. I don't remember ihis episode was like 150, 149, 151, (Brad: That's recent.) that's recent. And he was saying like the balcony in the basement so we're able to like look at our strengths and we use Kevin's references to like talk about like, how we're her balcony would be and then we're where the basement and beyond this so she could be on the lookout. So anyways, (Brad: That's amazing.) you guys, are you allowed to send us any question you want to the @be_it_pod, you can do it on Instagram, you can send to support. I think we've emailed beitpod@gmail.comBrad Crowell  No, it's not it's beitpod@bloompods.net.Lesley Logan  Oh, well, I've been telling everyone beitpod@gmail.com because ...Brad Crowell  We don't have Gmail. So that definitely is not it. So there's that. (Lesley: Well...) beitpod@bloompods.net.Lesley Logan  Okay, well, if you if you sent ... there. Send it to this new one. I don't know. I don't know what I read. Anyways. Okay, let's talk about Claire Sparrow.Brad Crowell  Okay, let's talk about Claire Sparrow, all the way from Leeds in the UK. Claire Sparrow is a Pilates teacher for over two decades, who specializes in working with women experiencing chronic pelvic floor dysfunction, after going through a traumatic birth experience herself. She didn't want to have surgery. So she healed herself through movement and breathwork instead. And now she actually brings hope to other women who are going through the same issues where there seems to be no answer. And she supports these women in person. She actually has a studio, a Pilates studio in Leeds. And also she has an amazing online program that will help you restore, restore yourself back to normal so that you can live the life that you want to be leading.Lesley Logan  Yeah. Well, I just I love her. And it was so fun because we ended up that was an in house podcast. (Brad: Yeah, that was super fun.) She was, she was here at the house. She was staying with us. It was a crazy week. We had her and John Steele. And ....Brad Crowell  We did. It was actually amazing. It was such a fun week.Lesley Logan  It just felt like what where are the cameras now? Because this is a reality ... at this point, like an 87 year old man is like tapping on the window to come in and use the house and like that man happens to be the author of a book and like, you know, was Joseph Pilates like adopted son.Brad Crowell  Yeah. Amazing. So I'm going to happen here first and talk about the elephant in the room. Okay? What the heck is a pelvic floor anyway? And is a prolapse as terrifying as terrifying as it sounds. (Lesley: So a two elephants?) Two elephants. (Lesley: Okay) Well, because they mentioned prolapse, they mentioned you know, she mentioned prolapse and pelvic floor. So first off the pelvic floor, I'm just going to literally read well, like I listened to the section of the pod like three times, I'm gonna read what my notes on this because I want to make sure I get it right. So the pelvic floor is a set of dynamic muscles, three main muscles that are interwoven, like a French braid, they attached to the back and front of your pelvis, and each of your sitting bones on your butt, on your bottom. So they are meant to expand and lengthen. Three times the resting length. So meaning if the resting length is one foot, they are meant to expand to three feet to up to three feet, when you're doing normal movement. So imagine when you're doing a squat, if it's connected to your pelvis, you know that your butt and you're squatting, you're obviously lengthening that. Right. So that's the idea there. And then Claire use the example of like an elastic band, right, we've all used the Thera-Band. She said, it's not a floor, there's no floor at all, like, it's a weird term to call it a floor. She said it's more of like a diaphragm where it expands and shrinks. And also, she said, it's a superhighway of nerves, wrapped with those loads of muscles that she was just talking about. So the nerves that go through there are the biggest nerves in your entire body that will run straight through there as well. Which is part of the reason where, where this can be so complicated for women after childbirth, because you know, your body is going through something that's pretty extreme, and moving things around. And that can pinch things or not pinch things or whatever. And then it messes with your muscles, which are meant to hold all those nerves tightly and safely. And if your muscles get messed up, it can actually affect those nerves. So, nerves, so the nerves, those damn nerves. (Lesley: Your pelvic nerd.) Yeah, those pelvic nerds sounds like a fucking share to me.Lesley Logan  I just think it's I think there's those like those things and kids toys were like they go like, like ... if you're listening to this, you can't see what I'm doing. But you know, like, there's those like, those weird toys that like they come together like a little atom, and then they expand apart and they come together and like, thank goodness they do but why? Like, I know the human body makes a lot of sense. And these are muscles. So it's not organ, organ, but it like it feels like a little organ. Because it's like so important. And there's and it and it's a delicate balance like I mean the whole body is a delicate balance, which is why I love Pilates because nothing gets overworked or underworked. That's where your your pelvic floor can have the most problems because something can be overworked. And other things can be under worked. And then you you're out of balance. And that's where you get some issues. There's one more elephant you wanted to address.Brad Crowell  Yeah. So what is a prolapse? Right. I mean, it's just the the word itself is, I mean, it's a little scary sounding. And when we, the common misconception is that something has fallen out of you, or dropped and, you know, whatever. There's, it's just a very weird, visual and Claire's is kind of on a mission to change the way we talk about that. And she said, it's actually just moved or displaced, meaning, like so so your, if your muscles are not in a, they're not strong enough to hold those nerves and protect those nerves, those same muscles are also holding your organs into place. Right? So if your muscles are weak, then they can't do that they can't operate in that fashion. And that would that means that your organs have the potential to slide around to somewhere where they're not supposed to be? Because the muscles aren't strong enough to hold them in place. That is a prolapse. Okay, so she actually specifically used the uterus as an organ that has has the potential to move. You know, if you have a, you know, if you're dealing with pelvic floor stuff, and that's actually what happened to her. And so she talked about that. And then, so anyway, I think that it's really important to just like, get rid of this, like, terrifying concept of what a prolapse is. Yes, it's definitely (Lesley: You don't want it to happen.) You don't want it to happen. I'm not saying it's not a big deal. But it's also not like, you're not like, you know, your organ is not dropping out of your body. Yeah, that's not what's happening here. SoLesley Logan  It's not it's not ... to never be back to never be back in place again, like it's there are options. So, which I think is like, nice and helpful. Okay, I'm gonna jump in.Brad Crowell  Yeah, yeah. So I mean, having covered those, I thought about that as like the elephant in the room, because I think it's important to dispel any preconceived notions. Such as the punch bowl analogy I put at the beginning, you know, or whatever the hell else it is that that has gone through, you know, any of our heads here, because when we can all talk about the same thing, then we can have a better, more educated conversation about it.Lesley Logan  Well, I think it's so that you can, if you are going through something and like you feel something is out of place. And I mean, I've had friends who've definitely felt down there and sometimes not been right. Having a better understanding scientifically around what you're going through is going to allow you to have a conversation with your doctor or your provider, in a way that makes you feel seen, and, and that you understand what's going on. And this is something that's very important. If you just go if it doesn't feel right, the doctor doesn't know how to handle that. But if you can actually like it, through listening to these experts that we bring in, if it allows you to advocate for yourself, and we have, we have an advocate coming, do we that's coming out next ...Brad Crowell  Yeah, couple couple more episodes, we have a health advocate on as a guest.Lesley Logan  Yeah. So she talks about like, having this information so that when you talk to your provider, you can actually have specifics to talk to them about, it's going to allow you to have a stronger conversation with them and get the help that you need. So you don't have to be afraid of these things. And you can actually understand what they're saying, they can understand what you're saying, you can get the help faster. Okay, my thing. Of course, I loved that she talked to help answer the question, "Will Pilates help strengthen your pelvic floor?" And this is where we like chatted a little bit about the all teachers are the same, like for example, I'm not don't count me for your pelvic floor, clearly, but also like that's, yes, the Pilates that I teach could help that. But if you are in an acute situation where you do need to balance your pelvic floor out, then I want you to seek out a teacher who has actually been trained in this way, you can actually reach out to Claire because she has teachers that she's trained. She also has a course for this for this. She has classes to help you out with that. And I love that she also talked about like it's it's less about telling the pelvic floor what to do and more about stimulating it and that's where she got into the thing about the key goals. Oh my gosh, I had so many clients ... I'm doing my key goals at the stoplight and I'm like, okay, there's some other things down there. We got to do. We don't want to just like overdo it with those things, and that's, that obviously can cause the issues that Brad talked about in his talking points from her. But she, she mentioned that we can do more about stimulating the pelvic floor properly. So we can teach it how to move on its own without us thinking about it. And that's like, that's where Pilates really can come into place, especially if you have a teacher who knows how to incorporate Pilates and the pelvic floor. And here's why I don't think about my posture. I do enough Pilates that my body thinks about my posture for me, your body is actually when it's imbalanced. When you actually balance all the muscles, your body knows how to walk, sit, sneeze, breathe, all things without you going. Did I think about that? Did I think about inhaling that way, you know what I mean? So like, if you are, for example, trying to work on breathing through your nose more, it means you think about it a while. But hopefully over time, the goal is that your body will do it on its own. So I really loved that she talked about stimulating the pelvic floor properly. So we can teach it how to move. It's just a little bit of retraining, right? Because who knows how long you've been doing it the other way? So anyways, I love she's just I mean, I felt like I went to I felt like I did a three hour course in like 45 minutes.Brad Crowell  Yeah, I mean, I think she talked about the difference between kegals and like, what, how the concept that Dr. Kegel came up with with Kegel exercises, and using Kegel devices, how Pilates can help stimulate similarly. So I think that's pretty amazing. That Pilates can do that.Lesley Logan  Yeah, I know. I think it's I mean, it's all impressive. So yes, if you're coming to a Pilates for your pelvic floor, absolutely do that. But definitely make sure that the teacher you're with has done some training in it. Because, you know, we all like Pilates can also help with Parkinson's, Pilates can also help with a lot of knee surgeries. But when you start to get nuanced like that, you're gonna want to find someone who's gone down a path to get more training in that.Brad Crowell  Yeah, definitely. All right, let's talk about those BE IT action items, what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items, can we take away from your conversation with Claire Sparrow? I'm gonna, I'm gonna throw out the first one here. And really, truly it's talk about it. Open up conversations about pelvic floor, I know that it can be embarrassing. I don't personally know that. But I know that people are embarrassed about what happens. You know what's happening with their body. And it's it can become an awkward conversation. But it shouldn't be. It doesn't have to be.Lesley Logan  And also we talked about it hasn't come up in this episode we did. So that's why you have to listen to Claire's actual interview, we talked about can do men have one? And can they have issues? (Brad: Yes.) She actually said yes. And these are the signs of it. And you know, I'm not going to name names, but you had some men in your life who went through a certain situation down there, and became like a cancer situation. And because of that, you were like, "Huh, how am I doing? Let me go get that checked out." And so it's like, the more we talk about (Brad: Right) anything going on with our health, the more likely we can actually save more people from going down the wrong path for a long time.Brad Crowell  Yeah, I think that pelvic floor issues are becoming even more common, because people are sitting more and more with their desk jobs. And then also, Claire specifically called out truck drivers, because they're sitting for, you know, 8 10 12 hours at a shot while they're moving the the trucks around. And ...Lesley Logan  Well, our yoga teacher said it like chairs and shoes are the worst inventions. But like, you notice, I think it's also a more common because people are also talking about it, like I think ...Brad Crowell  Right? Like it's actually just awareness.Lesley Logan  Just awareness. (Brad: Yeah) So keep the awareness going. Make sure you talk about it to the men and women and, and, and everyone.Brad Crowell  Yeah, and I'm gonna I'm just gonna jump around here because this isn't, wasn't on our timeline. But there was there was something very specific that I wanted to mention. If you've been told, you just have a weak pelvic floor, or you've had three children, this is normal. Oh, this is because of your age. And there's nothing that can be done. That's not the case.Lesley Logan  Yeah, I think we, I mean, we've said it in many episodes, but seriously, just just because a lot of people went through that doesn't mean you have to live with that. You know, just because it's normal doesn't mean it's optimal. Like that is, Thank you Jessica for that phrase, right there. My be it ... My BE IT action item is, could we just let it go. So like ... about like, the fear, fear you gotta let that go. Because that's not helping you. In fact, that might even be causing more problems because when we're in fear, we sort of tense muscles and things like that and create more of a mo...Brad Crowell  It can mess with your sleep, your stress, your digestion.Lesley Logan  Which is not going to help any of the things.Brad Crowell  Any of the things.Lesley Logan  Yeah. So let the fear go. You know, do what we, you'll hear it in and Lindsay's episode in a few weeks about like what you can do to make sure you are prepared to advocate for yourself in this situation. (Brad: Yeah) And that's going to take some of that fear away. And it's going to let you get the help that you need. She also meant to let, we're oftentimes pulling things in all the time. So we've talked about this before it was what episode but like, you shouldn't even be pulling your abs in all the time, like a Pilates instructor is often do this, because they're keeping their abs and they're teaching people their abs and your abdominals should be able to go in and out just like your diaphragm goes in and out just like your pelvic floor should not be in a tense mode all the time, it's only going to create more problems, just so you know that the app thing you will come become constipated. It's called hypertension, just (Brad: Yeah, I mean ...) jor no hype...Brad Crowell  I don't know what it's called. But if you keep you know, basically, when you're tensing all those muscles all the time, you're not allowing the bones to move, the muscles to move or anything. And that's supposed to be happening down there. So she specifically, Claire specifically said, your pubic bone has to move. And you can't, you know, you're not allowing it moves when you breathe. And if you're tense when you're breathing, you're not actually allowing anything to move at all. (Lesley: Yeah) And that's actually not benefiting you.Lesley Logan  Yeah. So obviously, when you're doing Pilates, you have a special special way of breathing. So do that. But then in life, she mentioned like getting that breath all the way down to the pubic bone. And I was like, trying to do that I was like, and I was, I was like, visualizing, I'm like, I think it's like just just above it. I'm not getting all the way there. So, so I got to work on that. But all these was just, it was just so I'm so glad to finally have her on the pod. She's not only she's so passionate about that, but she's truly changing people's lives with this. And the more teacher she's able to teach this to and the more people she's able to teach this to, her course is so thorough, it's so beneficial, the better we all will be.Brad Crowell  I mean, I was just floored by her interview. SoLesley Logan  Yeah, just by her interview, you're floored.Brad Crowell  I was floored.Lesley Logan  Oh, I got it.Brad Crowell  You got it. Okay. Thanks.Lesley Logan  I got it. Listen, if you take away nothing else from this interview, notice there's hope to get back to a normal life and pelvic floor issues don't have to stop you from living and doing the things you want to do. We talked about this in our interview, I not just pelvic floor issues, but I really do see that a lot of people's health issues, keep them from moving their life forward. (Brad: Yeah, sure.) And it doesn't have to be that way. But especially, especially this, like, we taught, like so many people are not doing things with their children or not (Brad: Yeah) saying yes to things because of, of what's going on down there. And it's like, there's hope for you. SoBrad Crowell  And menopause does affect this, this region. So if you are going into menopause, and you have not addressed the pelvic floor issues you may have that can actually make things worse. So it's important to be aware of this kind of stuff sooner than later. But there's, there's still, you can still do things about it. In fact, Claire talked about one of her students that had pelvic floor issues, unaddressed pelvic floor issues for more than three decades, and is now addressing them and is now living a far more normal and enjoyable life than she has been for decades. So you know, there's, that's exciting to hear. I think that's amazing. I think it's incredible.I just wanted to say. So basically, Claire has this awesome course. Right? In our show notes, we're going to, we've got a link down there specifically for you to go click through and see, you know, her course and what it could offer, she's got two versions of it. One is for teachers like Pilates teachers or fitness teachers who obviously will probably have an understanding of anatomy and stuff like that. She has another version of the course for people who are not teachers. So if this if you're like, I don't really understand the biology so much, maybe there's a version that's not for the teachers is going to be perfect for you. So click that link specifically because it'll let you, let her know that we sent you. And, you know, honestly, if you have an incredible experience with Claire, let us know. Because we love her. We already know she's amazing. We are incredibly confident that you will love her too. And, you know, hopefully she can help you through this delicate time. So,Lesley Logan  All right.
