Let's be real, how often do you actually warm up before a workout? Or focus on mobility? Or train for strength instead of just trying to change how your body looks?If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. Today, I'm sitting down with Kaisa Keranen, a coach, trainer, and movement expert who's on a mission to change the way people think about fitness.We're covering why mobility is essential for strength, injury prevention, and longevity, and how neglecting it could be holding you back. We'll also break down the truth about lifting weights, especially for women who fear getting bulky (spoiler: it won't happen overnight). We'll also dive into how to build confidence through movement, shift your mindset around training, and uncover the real key to consistency, one that goes beyond just relying on motivation.Plus, Kaisa will share her journey from athlete to trainer, why she's obsessed with jiu-jitsu, and how to stop seeing movement as punishment and actually start enjoying it. Kaisa Keranen is a renowned fitness coach, founder of Just Move, and a passionate advocate for making movement accessible and enjoyable. With a background as an athlete, Kaisa specializes in empowering individuals to move better, feel stronger, and enjoy the process. Trust me, this episode is packed with wisdom, let's jump in.We Also Talk About:(00:00) Career Paths and Fitness Journeys(07:11) Athletic Transitions and Competitive Ventures(13:19) Changing Mindsets in Fitness(22:41) Unlocking Mobility for Fitness Success(31:44) Body Confidence and Self-Love(44:51) Empowering Women on Social Media(50:41) Embracing Change Through ConsistencyThank You to Our Sponsors:Legion: Use code Tara20 for 20% off your first order and double loyalty cash back any order after that when you shop at LegionAthletics.comBroads: Broads gives you structured, progressive training and a powerhouse community to keep you strong, consistent, and unstoppable.

“My goal was to be able to create an online studio. Many people would be familiar with the Pelotons of the world today, and this was my goal 15 years ago. It's still my goal today knowing that we are not selling weight loss, but we are focused on creating movement for every single level of a human being that is ready to start their movement journey, continue their movement journey, or advance their movement journey. “I also am very aware that people would choose to move more if we weren't so narrow-minded about what working out means. So we have dance on our platform. We have all the traditional strength, cardio, yoga, and it's ever-growing. But really the goal behind Just Move is to create movement for everybody, and to really vary the types of movement we have without ever focusing on weight loss.” --- This feed includes all the podcast episodes where Kaisa makes a guest appearance!

Just Move! The Benefits of Everyday Movement If you're someone who feels frustrated when you hear “get your daily exercise,” it's time to understand it's all about movement and there's very little that needs to be involved! That's right. It's time to stop thinking of daily exercise as a commitment with minimum requirements like running five miles or bench-pressing your weight. The demand can be far less taxing and should fit your fitness level. From your brain to your joints, moving every day has the power to improve every part of your body. And it's not just about high-impact, sweat-inducing exercise, either. It's simple – whether you choose to implement small movements into your routine or try a new activity like cycling or yoga, increasing your daily mobility can help upgrade your overall health.

“I think the biggest thing is to know your north star. Because running a business comes with so many failures, so many mistakes, and so many learning lessons. But if you know your north star, you can consistently stay grounded. As a company now, we are so clear on the big goal, but we do not know the recipe or the path. And we are constantly testing. Going back to my days in training, I realize the fitness industry only talks to the 10% of the population that's already in fitness. So when we look at how to help people get up off the couch and move, most “beginner” workouts are way too advanced. The people we're speaking to don't even know what a squat is. They don't know what a lunge is. They're probably in pain. They've never moved before. And that was the population I wanted to speak to and make sure that we took care of. When we say we have movement for everybody, do we really? And so, we developed a START level. The levels go start, beginner, and intermediate. Six months into the Just Move subscription, we realized that Start Human deserves to be in their own safe space. And so we pivoted as a company.” --- This feed includes all the podcast episodes where Kaisa makes a guest appearance!

Kaisa and Mike discuss building momentum in your business, Kaisa's supplement regimen, and whether she has plans to open her own gym. They also touch on how your relationship to movement changes over time, taking care of yourself when movement isn't possible or doesn't feel good, recommendations for sweatproof jewelry, if massage helps with mobility, and how to find motivation and maintain it.As a reminder, we're listening, and we want to hear from you, so keep those questions coming!Ask a question — https://kaisafit.com/ask50% OFF Just Move — https://justmove.com/50offSupport the show
What's up, Team! Welcome back to another episode of the Kaisa Show! This week we've got a bit of a random episode for you. But first of all - what's buzzin? Kaisa is buzzing on her upcoming tattoo appointment, and Mike is buzzing on the possibility of a cool motorcycle trip. Then we move into a high level discussion of our current offerings: Just Move, a library of fun, creative, at-home programs for the advanced beginner; START Moving, a program for movers who are true beginners; and SMART Training, a performance program that closely mimics how Kaisa herself trains in the gym. Kaisa touches briefly on the mission behind it all: getting people moving, minus the focus on weight loss and the way you look. Finally, we dive into a listener question, and discuss how focusing on the way movement makes you feel can help you stay patient and focused when starting a new program.Ask a question — https://kaisafit.com/ask50% OFF Just Move — https://justmove.com/50offSupport the show

“How about all of the people that are on the sideline of the fitness industry? We know that we're not doing our job because the world, the US, has never been in a more unhealthy place… And I think, as an industry, we need to take ownership of that… “10% of the world is in fitness. How will we reach the missing 90% that are still sitting on the couch and don't think that fitness is for them? They have a body, they should be moving. We need to communicate differently to them. We need to figure out how to reach them.” Kaisa talks with Brad Jensen on The Key Nutrition Podcast about her passion for helping people to just start moving.

“I'm going to set a 10-year goal … to go from 70-years old to 80-years young.” Welcome everyone to episode 30 of the It Matters To Me Podcast, a show that celebrates the random through 1-on-1 conversations with people and the passions they pursue. Today my guest is Jim Owen, best-selling author, documentary filmmaker, and global speaker. Determined to get fit in his 70s, this 80-year-old former Wall Street executive wrote a book titled, Just Move! that focuses on the foundations of fitness and health beyond athletic performance or pure vanity. In hopes of inspiring others to realize the benefits of exercise, he began recording this journey through a recent documentary film, The Art of Aging Well. Before all this, however, Jim burst onto the national literary scene with the best-selling books, Cowboy Ethics, Cowboy Values, and The Try. That collection of truly must-reads highlights the character qualities that enable ordinary people to do extraordinary things and has unsurprisingly remained quite relevant in today's world of social discord, corporate scandals, and downright political jackassery. Talking with Jim couldn't have been more nourishing and substantial on a personal level because it really just felt like I was getting life advice from a seasoned expert. If you're a sucker for a southern drawl like I am, you're really going to enjoy this episode and I hope it's enough to get you to check out some of his books and the documentary. Ok that's enough from me, let's get to it, here's my talk with Jim Owen Additional Links The Art of Aging Well: https://theartofagingwell.com/ Just Move!: http://www.justmoveforlife.com/ Center For Cowboy Ethics and Leadership: http://cowboyethics.org/ It Matters To Me (Instagram): https://www.instagram.com/adamcasey/ It Matters To Me (Website): https://itmatterstomepodcast.com/ Jim's TEDx Talk: https://vimeo.com/64272975?embedded=true&source=vimeo_logo&owner=1556744 The Price We Pay by Dr. Marty Makary: https://www.martymd.com/

What are you doing today? How are you? What's going on? Has anyone told you you're amazing yet? Because you are, you're so amazing. I am really excited for us to have you dive right in to this interview. Tori Gordon is just freakin' the coolest. And she has so much wisdom to share her own life. And she does when she coaches people and I am really, really excited because, you know, being until you see it can be really difficult. It can feel a scary, it can feel uncomfortable. And it's a little hard to be something that you've never been. (Lesley laughs) It can, you can get a little in your head about it. Right? And I think if you listen to this, in fact, I know as you listen to this, you're going to hear all these little gems, all these little ways you can just be in "the now." That you can explore where these fearful thoughts are coming from, where this sense of urgency is coming from. And the more you get to know yourself, the easier it is for you to do everything that you've ever wanted to do, and not with the hustle and the rush in the sense of urgency. And so she is a beautiful soul. And she's got some great support for you. And there's some awesome stuff in the show notes. And I do hope that you have some fun. I would really really love it if you could tell us what your favorite part and takeaway was of this podcast because I truly is what like brightens my day, you know? It's, it's, we've almost been out a year as this podcast comes out. And when I see the the shares of the favorite takeaways, when I see y'all doing and a BE IT action item, like I like it's, it's like the biggest high five, right? It's the biggest compliment. And I ask, I say that because I think it's really, it can get really hard to go, "How do I help this person? How do I let them know how much they helped me?" Honestly, for every podcast you love, not just this one. When you screenshot and share it, you are literally telling them how much you they've helped you. And so anyways, I think this podcast episode is going to be one of those ones that you're gonna re listen to and re listen to, re listen to and write notes and oh, the BE IT action at the end of the conversation just kept going. And we had a little bit more fun. So enjoy this right after this message.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.All right, Be It listeners, I have the, really the one and only Tori Gordon here. I mean, I'm just so excited to have this woman and share her with you. I happen to have met her through a group that we're in called Brand Builders. And she is just a fire and and a super attractor and she really makes you feel like you can do anything you want. And I got to be on her podcast who definitely have to go to The Coachable Podcast and listen to my episode. But Tori, tell everyone who you are, how did you get to be who you are in this world today? Because you're, you're killing it.Tori Gordon 3:40 Well, thanks for having me, it's always good to hang out with you and have time to just catch up. I feel like. Um, yeah, I love Brand Builders group, because it's put me in contact with so many other amazing, mission driven people who are doing really cool things in the world. And um, that's what my you know, my purpose really is, is really about giving people the tools, resources and experiences to transform their lives from the inside out. Like that really happens within us first. And then we see that play out in our reality externally. And I think a lot of us, you know, expect to create different circumstances or get different results before we do any of the inner work. But that's that's really the foundation of everything that I do through The Coachable Podcast, through my speaking and my workshops. I'm also a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator. And I'm online, I mean, I'm a TikToker and creating content really just to inspire people and to move people into action to take advantage of this one precious life that we have. The time and the energy that we have. They're , they are greatest resources and we can never get them back. And that was something that I woke up to, you know, several years ago now. But it was this point for me, recognizing how precious life is, how much of a gift it is to be here around this moment with you having this conversation. And that change that we want to create going forward in our lives happens here. Like in this moment, it doesn't happen in the future. It happens now and it happens in the moment after that, which is the now and the now and the now. So can we just learn to be in the moment?Lesley Logan 5:27 Yeah. Oh my gosh. I mean, if you're listening, you can now hear like, exactly why I had to have or did you catch the like filling your cup first that she said in a different way. But like, you gotta, you gotta be it, in it yourself first. You had to heal yourself first. And, and you also talked a lot about people waiting until something happens and then doing the work. And like, that is that's like the opposite of being it. (Tori: Yeah) You know, that's the opposite of how I feel. And so I think we have so much alignment there. And I want to I mean, I too, I think that's how I actually didn't know that your trauma-informed breathwork. And I was like, "Oh, I'm doing that right now." I really love it. It's like one of the best ways to get present. So what... (Tori: Oh my gosh.) So can you talk about like, what it, like, what was the the thing that got you to go, "I need to be in the now." Like, was there a moment or was it just like the whole life just going, "I'm not being very present."Tori Gordon 6:16 Well, I think for me, it was the loss of my mother and my sister and I had a lot of losses in my life. But it was specifically after I lost my mom in 2018. I just realized how impermanent things are. And that I was always the person that was planning and like planning for the future, dreaming about the future, preparing to do things, but never, a lot of times never actually getting to the point where I was doing them. I was always just in that, that planning, preparation, dreaming mode, and visualizing what I wanted my life to look like. And it was after losing my mom that I realized, like, "Oh, there is no time to waste." Because I'm not guaranteed that any of that is going to happen. All I have is right now in this moment, and I'm going to spend my my next moments, creating an environment, one where I want to be doing things I want to do that fill me up, that energize me. I want to put myself around people that inspire me because I, I felt an urgency and to live, to like live my life for myself right now and not later. Because a lot of us, I think we think, "Oh, I'll put that thing off until later. I'll get my shit together later. I'll post that piece of content later. I'll start that business later, when I have more time, more money, more whatever it is." (Lesley: Right) And, and it's all an illusion, like none of us have the control that we think we have. And so it's we do to a degree, we can co create our lives. But thinking that we know how things are going to play out. Is is a lie that we tell ourselves. (Lesley: I mean, you can even ...) So there has ...Lesley Logan 8:08 You're so correct. (Tori: Yeah) like we just even right now you and I have how many zoom calls have you and I done? Like on our own and then together? And how many podcasts have you done, I done. And then today, literally no control over the technology that was starting out at the beginning. (Tori: Yeah) And so like, I think you're correct, we have the opportunity to co create, and yet there's only, there's so many things that can change on a dime that you you (Tori: Yeah) can't just wait for things to be a certain way.Tori Gordon 8:35 Yeah, it's it's about how do I surrender to the moment? How do I surrender to what's happening and be with it and allow it to be unfolding? Can I, can I make space for all of this to coexist, this chaos, this confusion, this anticipation, this anxiety, this excitement? Can it all, can I create more space within myself to be a home for all of it to coexist together? It's instead of exiling, "Okay, I never need to feel anxious or I can't feel this thing or I can't, you know, everything has to go perfectly." Because then we're just setting ourselves up for disappointment. Life is uncertain. That is the one certain thing that we know is that life is uncertain. And that change is inevitable. And so how can we be prepared to show up but also be flexible in the midst of adversity or unexpected challenges that will arise because they will inevitably because life lifes. (Lesley: Yeah) Right?Lesley Logan 9:34 Life lifes. And that, that's the best. Okay, so I when you were saying like, not going no anxiety, none of this like because that's the opposite, right? Like, (Tori: Mm-hmm) "Okay, I I know for my own self like I'm such a planner, planner, planner." And then I'm like, "Okay, that that's not going to work." Like you know, everything is you have no control life lifes (Tori: Yeah) but how did you, how did you not swing all the way to the pendulum where it's like, "Well, then I can't have the anxiety. I can't have this." Like, how did you get all those to coexist? Because that to me is like a BE IT story in it's own like, how did you get from like, "I'm over here in the planning mode" to like "I'm just going to be in the present mode."Tori Gordon 10:15 Mm-hmm. Well, because when we're resisting anything, we're resisting the nerves that we're feeling when we go on to a podcast or resist, or we're anxious about this thing that we are about to do. Like, we are not allowing life to be like, we're not allowing ourselves to be with what it is, we're saying it shouldn't be this way. Like we're fighting, like, we're in inner conflict. And so for me, it's, it's a process of accepting what is and also being fully committed to creating a new reality. So I can be totally committed to an outcome, a goal, something, I'm moving towards a new reality I want to create for myself. I'm committed, and I have that vision in my mind, and I hold that, and I move toward that. I'm committed, but I'm unattached. I'm unattached to how that comes forward in my life. I'm unattached to exactly how I meet that person, or how this business opportunity unfolds, or how it has to look. Because when we, we expect, like when we put the how on it, then we've limited ourselves and we say it has to happen within this box in this this way, this time frame, and we miss out on the way the universe wants to bring that in. Like, it's never gonna happen the way we think it's gonna happen. Like we could have met... would you have expected like, this would be the way this conversation goes, right now? It's like ...Lesley Logan 11:41 No, well, and I think that's what's (Tori: Yeah) fun for me is that podcasting is like a really great place to just just like, (Tori: Be enough) yeah, because (Tori: Yeah) if you don't know, like, I know, a lot of podcasters, like, have set questions that they always ask people. And, you know, my husband has a format that he likes things to go because it makes sense for the editor. But I'm like, "Hmm. I'm gonna like I just want to know what's going on." Because (Tori: Yeah) also when we schedule things, sometimes it's like two months ago, and so maybe, maybe why you're excited to come on, then is not what you're like, you know, (Tori: Mm-hmm) there's this different thing. So I like to have the how be (Tori: Yeah) a little bit more optional. Was it easy for you to do struggle like ha... like getting out of the habit of, you know, trying to control the box, like, was it or like, (Tori: Yeah) how did that feel? Was there a moment you're like, "Oh, my God, I'm doing it. I'm actually letting it be." (Lesley laughs)Tori Gordon 12:30 Yeah, I think it's the human condition to want to control because we want certainty as human beings, because our brains are wired for survival. And we think if I can predict the outcome, and how it's going to happen, I can protect myself from it. Because we're always trying to protect ourselves from any threat. And that includes, most of us think, "Oh, because I'm feeling anxiety, that's a threat," or like, "I'm in danger, or something really terrible is happening." And so the first thing I did was just learn about how my brain operates and works and how to not feed in to some of my the patterns that I had been falling into my whole life unconsciously. And really learn how to, like master my thoughts, the part of me that says, "It shouldn't be this way. It needs to happen right now." Like the part of me that feels that like, need to do it all and do it all perfectly. And it was a process of, yeah, learning the way that my brain works and how it's designed to protect me and to try and predict the future and try to create certainty. And also, it's like this paradigm of docs. Like, we're trying to figure out the unfigurable. (Lesley: Right. Right.) And that that's fu... like futile. It's exhausting. It doesn't like trying to like prepare about every scenario that could ever play out is and we do that because we're afraid. Right? We do that because we're afraid of looking stupid, the conversation going poorly, it not getting the ratings that we want, like people not liking it, people judging it, whatever it is. And so we think, "Oh, if I'm, I am ultra prepared, that won't happen." And then what happens when the unexpected happens?Lesley Logan 14:14 Right. You have no plan for that, because it has to go this way. And you weren't allowing yourself to be able to see other ways.Tori Gordon 14:21 Yeah, well, when the unexpected happens, it's like, the way I describe it. It's like the Super Bowl was just last night. So teams, trust me, they come in fully prepared. They have watched the film, they have spent all season, all year prepping for this one game. They think they have every scenario played out of, "Okay, if this guy goes down, what are we going to do? If this guy gets hurt, if they go like they run this kind of play or this kind of defense?" But what happens when there's a curveball? (Lesley: Mm-hmm) What happens when your best player? Like does get hurt, you're not expecting it? What happens like sometimes you just got to throw an audible and go for it. But sometimes you're like, "Oh my gosh, how are we going to come back from this?" And it's the people that are able to be flexible in the midst of adversity or challenge (Lesley: Mm-hmm) that, that come back. (Lesley: Yeah) And because it's, if we're not, if we're so rigid and so stuck, like I wasn't, like, I'm not able to show up and perform, unless the circumstances are perfect. Then we would never we're like ... (Lesley: Oh, my gosh ...) you're only, (Lesley: no wonder ...) we're only doing so much. Right?Lesley Logan 15:34 Well, and also, no wonder so many people are only doing so much. (Tori: Right) Right? Because they're expecting it to be a beautiful 70 degree day outside. And every you know, feeling their best and, and that's just not life. Like some days, we're not ... like the conditions aren't perfect (Lesley: Yeah) to get out there and do it.Oh, I mean, here example, we, we had this whole thing that we planned and we sold. So like it is we told people, "You'll be able to walk. You'll be able to walk to our house." And guess what, those Airbnbs aren't walkable, they didn't, they didn't want people from local community renting them. So they're not walkable anymore. Now, that doesn't mean it's not gonna be an amazing retreat. That doesn't mean it's somebody that's and of course, I sold them this, they still have a beautiful house to stay. And they're still they're actually going to get a ride now to and from the place like, but it's like having like getting stuck on. There was that moment with like, "But we told them this. And if it's not perfect, then what are they gonna think?" And it's like, well, nothing is perfect. And they're going to see like everyone is doing the fucking best they can. (Lesley laughs) (Tori: Mm-hmm) You know? (Tori: Yeah) Yeah, so you have to be able to go, "Okay, well, then what's the shift? What's the pivot? How do we continue to offer the most amazing thing (Tori: Right) with challenges that were unforeseen?"Tori Gordon 16:40 ... Exactly, because and that's resilience. (Lesley: Yeah) That's what resilience is. It's what do you do when you get hit and how do you come back? And do you keep showing up? And how quickly do you rebound?Lesley Logan 16:54 Like the quick though, the speed at which you rebound is actually like, the lady on Shark Tank, the real estate lady, I (Tori: aha) heard her on an interview. And she said, because someone asked her like, what's the like, like, "What's your tip for success?" And she's like, "It's your rebound." She said, what I saw for the salespeople who like if they lost a deal, the ones that went home and took the day off to like, decompress from that. They did worse, and the ones were like, and what and next, and what do I, what's the next thing, you know?Tori Gordon 17:23 Yeah. It's that downtime of being able to recov... it's the recovery. Like my recovery, I have a friend who was a pro runner for years and years and years. And he would run over 100 mile races, like ... (Lesley: Those people are crazy to me.) (Lesley laughs) A marathon is like, what, 24? (Lesley: 26.2) Yeah, 26.2. So he was like running multiple marathons. (Tori laughs) (Lesley: Yeah) And when I heard that, I could not believe it. I was like, I had another friend who just run, ran his first marathon. I was like, he took a week to recover. He was like, "This is so painful." And so I asked my guy friend, I said, "How was your recovery?" He was like, "But when you're doing it all the time, your body just bounces back." And so I think, whether it's an entrepreneurial space, and whatever it is you're doing, it's the more you do it, the quicker the recovery, (Lesley: Yeah) because you're prepare... like you're conditioned, to bounce back quicker, as opposed to like, if you go in the gym, and you lift, heavy and you haven't been in the gym for months, you're gonna be ... you like you're what ... Like, (Lesley: Yeah) I can't go back to the gym ...Lesley Logan 18:26 The ... (Tori: for a while) then you're go back to the gym for a while and you're gonna start all over again. But also, it's that like whole ... (Tori: Exactly) like, that's that toilet seat thing. Like, if you can't sit down the toilet, you did it wrong at the gym. (Lesley laughs) You (Tori: Yeah) didn't prepare your body. And that's not true. I guess some pe... there might be some other reasons legitimate for that. But you're correct. And that's like, that's why like when you do, that's why trainers y'all have like heart rate monitors on you, because they actually don't want you living in the cardio zone the whole time. They want you to (Tori: Yeah) be able to challenge your body to go up and down and up and down. And like, I love to see how fast my recovery can be like. How fast because I'll run with my dog and he has to stop and you know, do his thing. And I'm like, "Am I, oh, did I get calm?" And I'm like, "I like to do it." You know what I mean because like that keeps you really resilient. It keeps you having more opportunity, you're healthier, you're stronger.Tori Gordon 19:09 Well, and to go back to what you said about the pendulum, like the people that go to the gym, and they have the toilet seat moment. (Lesley laughs) Like that's where you're on one side of the pendulum, and like it's in (Lesley: Yeah) extremes. And then you're on the other side. It's that in between, it's the balance. It's the be with what is and don't like, it's only our mind that tells us, "We need to go quicker. We need to do it all by a certain time." Like, it's the expectations we put on ourselves and the pressure we put on ourselves. (Lesley: Yeah) And there have been moments in my business where I'm like, "What am I in such a hurry for?" (Lesley: Hmm) Like, because when I get there, I'm going to be in a hurry to get somewhere else and then to do the next thing. And sure I have, I'm on a mission to serve people and there, but is it really because I'm trying to serve more people or is it coming from a place of, "I need to prove my worth, or I need to get validated because I got to the next stage or I got to the next level or whatever it is." And so that the breathwork for me has helped me live in that. Tha... like, come back to the moment, that's the thing about breath, it brings you back to the present. And it's in that in between of the balance between the pendulums. It's, it's not one extreme or the other. It's when I feel like I am, I've been doing 30 days of hot yoga, and it is hot. And there are moments where my heart rate gets super, super high. But then when I come back to the breath, it's how quickly can I come back to that, like, relaxed, centered state instead of feeling like, "Am I dying?" You know, and that happens training. And it's a process of getting your mind and body to that point, it doesn't happen overnight. I think we got to get off of this like, like, fast, like, culture that we're in where it's like, "I need everything right now. I've got to be able to do it all and like, get the results immediately." Like, the things that we truly want to accomplish will take time. Anything that's good, takes (Lesley: Yeah) time, you know.Lesley Logan 21:14 I guess, like my mind, like thinks about like, there's the people who are like rushing to make things happen a certain way at a certain p... and like they're in a hurry. And I love the question like, "What am I in a hurry for?" I think that's really a valid question. You also write that down as your like, homework assignment. Like what to ask yourself, and then there's the people who like do nothing, because they're just waiting. (Tori: Right) And you're right, there is that place in the, in (Tori: Mm-hmm) the middle ...Tori Gordon 21:38 And that tends to be where a lot of people, there's either the hustlers, they're like, gotta go go go, or the people who are kind of, like paralysis analysis and they (Lesley: Yeah) are shut... in shutdown. It's like, one or the other. (Tori laughs)Lesley Logan 21:52 Yeah, and so like, I think that some of those analysis paralysis, people used to be on the other end, and they like, burnt themselves out, or they got (Tori: Yeah) lost or something, or they're like, "I need to stop doing that. So I'm just gonna stop having dates on anything." So, I just wanted like, because I, I know, I know the listeners, listen to this, they're gonna be like, "But Tori, do you have deadlines?" Like, do you have a deadline? Do you have dates on your goals? Or like, how do you do, how do you have date on something? But like, not get attached to that? What is your system for that?Tori Gordon 22:20 Yeah, I mean, I definitely have dates on, on my calendar, I booked things in. I have, you know, like, I'm doing 30 days of hot yoga to see what my progress look like over that 30 day period. I think it's really important to have check ins with yourself. And but the point of the 30 days isn't to achieve a certain result. It's to just notice and track the progress that happens within the 30 days, like, just by doing. Like, I show up, and I give my best every day, my best looks different day to day. But that's the standard. I, my standard for myself, as it show up and give my best over whatever the length of time that you're going to give yourself and give yourself permission that the best doesn't have to look like it did the day before. But I show up in my give my best and I'm tracking what is my progress over that length of time. For bigger, like long term goals, the way we can like motivate ourselves to keep going is to, is to take the long goal over a year and to make it shorter. So the first three months, like let's track our progress, how are we going to take this look... maybe you're going to write a book. Okay? What's the first thing we need to do? Create an outline? Okay, let's make that into it's goal, a goal in itself, (Lesley: Yeah) instead of sitting down and like, "Okay, I have a empty page. How do I write this entire book?" (Lesley and Tori laughs) Right? (Lesley: I know) It's like, let's just take our long term goals and chunk them down, and be accountable for that, and then set the next (Lesley: Yeah) piece of it. Because ultimately, we will get really overwhelmed with looking at something over a long term, and we'll get, you know, we'll lose our motivation. So back to kind of the working out analogy there was a time when I was doing like a 60 day challenge. And at the beginning, I like took my, measured my stats. So how fast could I run 100 meter? How many pushups could I do in a minute? How many, you know, whatever the, like measurements (Lesley: Yeah) were? I did that at the beginning. I did that 30 days in. And then I did it 60 days in. The important thing about doing it 30 days in, is that it really motivates you for the next 30 days. (Lesley: Yeah) Because I could see that I'm making progress. Right? I hadn't gotten to where I wanted to be but I had improved in every single category that I started in. And that is like, "Oh, this is working." And that re energizes you to keep going for the next stent. (Lesley: Yeah) And so those check ins with yourself across your goals is really, really important. So I have just like a kind of a process that I do with myself to see, like, how am I (Lesley: Yeah) how am I ranking? You know ...Lesley Logan 25:09 I like that and you created that for yourself. And I love that a lot. I, I'm a big fan of like breaking things down smaller, like, one of the, one of my friends were having lunch the other day. And she said, "Yeah, I'm, I just need to set aside time to work on my workshop." I said, "What if you just set aside time to like, come up with the name of it?" (Tori: Mm-hmm) And then like, "What if another day you actually just wrote like, the hour by hour?" And then and then (Tori: Yeah) like, and she's like, "What?" And I said, "I don't even work on an entire project." Like, "Are you kidding?" Like, I'm like, "I think I want to do this." Okay, what's one thing that I can think about with that, that like, conceal the deal. I'm like, I want to do, like we were to do two weeks away from retreaters coming to our house for business retreat, when that idea came up. I was like, "I want to do a business retreat. I want to do it in Vegas. And I want to ask them how long they want it." (Tori: Mm-hmm) (Lesley laughs) You know, cuz like, but I didn't go, "Okay, I'm gonna sit down and plan this whole retreat out just like in a vacuum." Like, no one has time for that you'll get ... we'll get overwhelmed by all the stuff that has to happen. Like, (Tori: Yeah) "Oh my gosh, I need to feed the people that to come up with these things." There's so many moving parts, and we'll, Tori: Mm-hmm) we'll overwhelm ourselves. We just won't do it. So I love that. That's so great. Okay, so thank you for sharing that. When you, so the process you go through yourself, we're getting a little granular, do you do every week, do you do every month? Like do you have a process for like checking in on how you're doing?Tori Gordon 26:27 Yeah, so actually stole this from a friend of mine. And you might know him? Carry Jack, but he's great. And he has a process that I've kind of adopted. And he calls it like "Soul Mapping." And basically, it's something you do every single week, I do it on Sundays. And you go through this framework of asking yourself, it's a ranking system of one to five, five being the best, you killed it that week in this area. One you like got an F, right? And it's, you just go through this process of asking yourself, like one is about digital detox, like, "How much time did I spend on my phone?" Right? "Did I... Was I good? Did I manage that? Or did I completely like, spent way too much time on my phone?" It's time and nature, right? It's things like, "Did I get do meaningful work this week? Did I take care, like spend time with people that I love? Did I play and make time for hobbies and things outside of work." And those checkpoints are really helpful because just week to week, I can see where my priorities have been, and how I can, kind of realign those this week. So if I in a couple areas, I'm like, "I really, really dropped the ball here." Typically, what I find is there's never multiple weeks where I struggle with the same thing over and over again.Lesley Logan 27:55 Right because you're paying attention to it. (Tori: Yeah) So you're like yeah, and what we, yeah. That's ...Tori Gordon 27:58 Because you see, you'll see what you track. (Lesley: Yeah) It's like the second that I invested in crypto, you better believe I was tracking that. (Lesley laughs) Right? I was like, "Is my money going up or down?" You will see the result of what you track. (Lesley: Yeah) And so having a system whatever system works for you, is one that helps you just notice that progress because otherwise it seems like you know, "Oh, I haven't really made any improvements." But you really have, you just haven't given yourself any credit and you don't know what you're looking at. Right because you're, yeah, and you're not actually like you're not it's like, "I need more. I need to do more of this and you drink more water." It's like how much more? Do you need to drink a bottle more? Like be specific.Exactly. (Lesley: Yeah) You're not measuring it. SoLesley Logan 28:41 You made think of my friend Nora. I have to I've got to bring her on it's been a couple when you move and the pandemic time standstill everyone so, but I had her in my group and she has this whole thing like, "Are you a spectator? Or are you the star athlete?" Because the athlete would assess, the athlete is looking at game videos, the athlete is "Oh, I missed that ball. You know, I need to go back to the batting cages." Like the the athlete is like troubleshooting being clinical about things. The spectator in the stands like, "You miss that ball. Ah." Like just judgment, judgment, judgment (Tori: Mm-hmm) and so she like takes five areas like money, relationships, health, whatever. And you just ask yourself, "Am I spectator or am I athlete?" (Tori: I love that) And so fun, right? But then you can get even granular with your soul map and I think you could just like for those who are like, "This is a lot ladies." You start with Nora's so then you want to get more detailed, go (Tori: Yeah) to the one she just described." And then and then you can get even more but I think we have to baby step our way into like assessing ourselves and getting honest because if you are someone who's a super judger or you're gonna, you're gonna you need a little like bridge, you need like a booster into the space of being honest (Tori: Yeah) and welcoming yourself. Yeah.Tori Gordon 28:45 Well, and what I'll do for you guys in my membership community called Coachable University. It's a program that I run, School of Self Mastery. It's something that I have my students do every single week is, is this check in and when have a form that out and you just gave me an idea, I'm happy to put that into a doc... templated, you (Lesley: Great) know, something that people can download. And they can just go through themselves every single week and make it super easy. And there's some good questions, you can ask yourself, the soul mapping frameworks there if you want to do that, and just give yourself a little rating. And it'll tell you each of the different kind of topics to rate yourself in or areas to rate yourself in. But they're also just questions like, "What went well, this week? (Lesley: Mm-hmm) What didn't go... Where did I drop the ball? What do I need? Like, what can I celebrate?" (Lesley: Yeah) Those questions are also really helpful because, again, what we are measuring, and what we see is (Lesley: Yeah) what we're going to take more action on and prioritize.Lesley Logan 30:45 Oh my gosh, thank you so much. We'll put that link in the notes, guys. It's theirs... (Tori: Yeah) We always have good notes down there. So you're amazing. Tori, this is so fun. We just scratched the surface. Okay, Tori, everyone's gonna stalk you already. They're like super excited about the soul mapping. But how can they find you follow you, get to know you? Where are you hanging out these days?Tori Gordon 31:03 Yeah, I am on Instagram and Tiktok. I'm @coachtorigordon on both platforms. And then you can go to my website, torigordon.com. We have a lot of fun stuff there. We're also just getting our YouTube up and running. So our podcast - The Coachable Podcast is live. The full videos on the YouTube channel. So if you go to torigordon.com, you'll find all of the places that I hang out and a bunch of free resources and downloads too. If you want to find some other goodies that you can take home. That's the best place to go.Lesley Logan 31:34 You're amazing. Yeah. I do like that. We put our, we put the podcast on YouTube as well. I think for a lot of people like to just watch things (Tori: Mm-hmm) like you know, so it's so (Tori: Yeah) fun that you have all those resources. Thank you. Okay, last question, BE IT action items. Things people can do that are bold, executable, targeted or intrinsic that can help them be it till they see it.Tori Gordon 31:55 Yeah, I think the biggest thing is know, like, know what you want? And that seems like something that isn't really actionable but it is. It's like, I've got a clarity guide that takes you through this process of, "What do I want? Like, where am I right now? Where do I want to be and identify what's in the way?" Because we can't create what we want to create in our lives unless we're willing to look at where's our point a. Like, what's my current GPS location? Where am I headed to Bora Bora Beach, wherever you want to go? Like, what does that destination you're headed towards? And then what's, in between, like, what are all of the twists and turns that are really standing in your way from getting there. That is a process I think everybody should go through multiple times throughout the year. I mean, and you can do this for all areas of your life, because until we're willing to look at what we're avoiding, and what we're putting off. Like, those are the things that are really keeping us from the the goals and the dreams that we have for ourselves. And sometimes that is a like a logistical thing. Maybe it means, "I need to save a certain amount of money." Maybe it means, "I need to get a certification or I need to get more experience in X area. I need to get an internship or I need to, you know, apply, actually go apply for the job or create (Lesley: Right) the resume." Right? Or it could be more subjective. It could be a belief system that you have. It (Lesley: Yeah) could be this this part of you that saying, "Hey, you're not ready until you have all of these other things in place." And we can start to identify what are the stories that are in the way but also just what are those logistical things, because until we identify them, ... you can't hit a target, you can't see, (Lesley: Yeah) you're gonna start to identify them. And then you can go actually execute on them. Lesley Logan 33:45 You also can't go to a place you don't know where it is. And (Tori: Right) you don't know where you're starting from. Like, it's like, if I asked you how to get to Atlanta, and you didn't know where I was coming from, you might be able to go, well, if you know where the 40 is. I think the 40 goes in there. It might be the 10... Anyways, you know, but like you have to like you can't actually, I'm not going to get there. And I'm like wandering around looking for Atlanta. So it's I love that and also know what you want. It made me think of like Runaway Bride when she like doesn't know how she likes her eggs. (Tori: Mm-hmm) And I remember watching her like try all these different eggs and like y'all like I know that's a terrible 90s rom-com, maybe it's early 2000s. But the reality is is like if you can just picture like, if you don't know what you want, it's time to go try out a bunch of different things like, go play, go, (Tori: Mm-hmm) go hike, go do something, go do something... (Tori: just take a class) Yeah (Tori: So, yeah) You can quit the class if you don't like it after a few weeks, but maybe stay because maybe that resistance is actually just because (Tori: Yeah) what you need to assist you. You know,Tori Gordon 34:41 That was exactly what I did. When I was at that point where I was confused and didn't really know what I wanted. I just tried a bunch of things and that's executable thing like that's the executable thing. Go, sign up for the course. (Lesley: Mm-hmm) Go like take the dancing class, go get yourself in a cooking class, whatever it is because you're right. A lot of people are sitting in their car, and they're expecting to go on this amazing vacation, but they, maybe they have put the destination in their GPS, but it had doesn't have their current location. And a lot of people are waiting to get on the road. Before they they want to know every twist and turn. They want to know, "Okay, are you going to take a right, take a left? Is it going to be like ..."Lesley Logan 35:19 ... speaking with the GPS. (Tori: How far do I go?) My dad was taking me to get my hair done on Saturday. And because I don't have a car, so he we go to the gym together and I was like, "Hey can you dropped me off this place and get my hair done. And he's like "yea". And he's never been there, so I put in his GPS. And sure enough, we make a left and the road is closed. So (Tori: Mm-hmm) Google didn't know that the road is closed, because it was like a Color Run or something. So we (Tori: Yeah) had I said, "Okay, well, we're just gonna, go just take the street to ... (Tori: rerouting, rerouting) ... reroute, you know, but like, if we had got, "Well can't go cuz that roads closed," you know? (Tori: Exactly) (Lesley laughs) But people, but that's what everyone that's what you're all doing. You would be like, "No one would ever do that." Yes, you are when you don't actually, like when you're not taking action when you're not doing the thing, because you don't know what the twists and turns are, you're doing exactly that you're turning around at the road closer and going well can't go. You know,Tori Gordon 36:05 ... And life doesn't work like that. It doesn't give you all of the steps before you go. It says, "Get going." It says, "Go drive." And then I'll give you the next (Lesley: Mm-hmm) direction. (Lesley: Yeah) It's like, you're not gonna get all of them. But I'm going to give you the next direction that's in front of you. And so I tell people, "just move." Like, just get your body in motion, whether you're going to go take a workout class, you're going to go sign up for something, you're, pick the next right action that feels aligned with what you want to do. And then that's when you allow life to unfold. It comes back to what we were talking about at the very beginning, of be in the now, be with the next thing that you're going to do in the present moment. And then allow the next thing to reveal itself in the universe to give you that next direction because it will.Lesley Logan 36:50 Yeah. Ah, Tori, this is amazing. Like, we're about to wrap it up. And then like more gems just got thrown at people. And I'm just so grateful for you. Thank you for being here. You're amazing. And I know that we keep meeting up on these on these calls. And we'll have to do a hangout, off, off of a recorded, (Lesley laughs) unrecorded (Tori: Yeah) hangouts. But, I just I'm so grateful for you everyone.

This week's topic is Just Move it! If you recall, from last week's episode, I had purchased 1.65 acres that had a double wide mobile home and a 2-story stick-built house with a 6-car garage. My goal with this property was to build a custom home and flip it and move on to another property. I was clearly living up to the Nomad life, a name given to me by my parents. I loved to move around! But That's NOT what happened! I worked with a local commercial lender and was able to sell him on my idea to build this custom home. The construction loan had a limited timeframe and at the end, I would need to seek conventional lending. After the purchase, I sold the double wide and had it hauled off and in its place my home was built which took almost 2 years, by the way – but that's another story for another day. Then something else unexpectedly happened and it ruined, and I mean ruined my goal for flipping the home. Sadly, I got into a relationship. That relationship changed the trajectory of my vision. Now, it made sense to keep the home, but it just didn't make sense to me to have 2 dwellings on one property. Had I known now what I know today, I had a perfect multi-family property which in today's market is clearly sought after but at the time I did not know what I had. Now, I was hunting for a solution. Everyone, I encountered I would ask, “what would you do?”. I got no viable solutions. Mom and dad came down for their annual visit in February. It was during this visit with dad where we were actually standing inside the 6 car garage when I got a call that said, I needed to move from the 2 story building into my new home (20 ft away) that day and I had to take pictures that day and send them that day back to the mortgage company so they could validate that I actually lived on premise so I could pass the final inspection allowing me to take possession of the new home. Immediately, mom and dad and I went to work and began moving in the essentials. After we completed our work, dad and I were back in the garage talking, only this time the attitude was a little different. We were now discussing his death and everything he wanted me to know about his life and how he wanted things to go after his death. He told me three things, He did everything in life in wanted to do, He lived life with no regrets and that he was happy. I wasn't extremely happy talking about his death, but I did listen intently. I decided to change the topic to something more enlightening. I said, dad, “now that I've moved into the house what on Earth am I going to do with this 2-story building? He said, didn't you tell me that the 1.65 acres over there with the single wide is for sale?” I said, “yes”. He said, “go buy that 1.65 acres and move this house over there in place of the single wide and when you do, rebuild this barn to the size you want BUT make sure you put in a very large door in the middle because one day, Mechiel, you're going to want an RV. My dad was brilliant, and I was his perfect little get er done, kind of girl. I made a deal with the neighbor next door and purchased the 1.65 acres. The single wide wasn't worth 2 pennies, but I found a group of guys that came to get it for free and they made it a hunt camp up north somewhere. I don't know where. I didn't care, it was gone! I started hunting for house movers. Now, In Iowa this happens a lot where people move houses, but not so much in Florida. My friends thought I was nuts! I didn't care! the least I could do was research it and see what I could find out. I had heard during this time about a house they moved on water, so I was confident I could find someone. I planted seeds everywhere trying to find a house mover. Finally, I found a guy in Dade City, just 40 minutes from my house. I still have his business card! He shows up on time with his buddy – two good ole country boys chewing tobacco. He asked me what the goal was, we walked and talked as I explained it to him, and he looked over it really good and said, yep, we can do that. This is how it works: I'm going to place big jacks under the home, raise it up, cut off the bottom floor, place it on a flat-bed semi-truck, lower the jacks so the home is now on the truck, and very slowly inch by inch, move the house from Point A to Point B. This process will take a week to complete. I had to cut down a fence, with nasty bushes in it, take a lean too off the building, and pull a permit and hire a contractor to put down the new elevated foundation that ultimately became the crawl space. Once permitting was approved work could begin. Within 2 months we were ready for the “move”. Unfortunately, I couldn't witness the move because I had to go to my J.O.B. and wasn't allowed time off to be there, but my great friend Kathy went and took pictures, and video and gave me the play by play. It went off without a hitch! Next steps were to secure the home to the new foundation, took off the baby blue vinyl and put-up concrete walls and paint and then wait for the inspection! A couple of days later, I cleared the inspection and began my search for a renter. Total cost of the project was $40k and at that time, you couldn't have built a home for that price. Over the next several years, I've had tenants come and go and most still remain in contact except the tenants that decided doing meth was smart! I didn't have to call the cops because his brother (which I knew he was afraid of) did the trick and they were gone in 15 days! Today, this home is a short-term rental and yes, I rebuilt the garage to meet dad's standards and yes, you already know I have an RV (but I guarantee you at the time I built the barn, no I did not have an RV, nor did I think I would want one.) I sure miss my dad's wisdom; he passed the same year we had a discussion about is death – just months later.

Welcome to the UnCommenterry! This is episode 2 and we're coming at you this week with one thing in mind and that's “JUST MOVE”! And when it comes to our next guest, she has made it her life's work to get everyone to do just that. She's been on the covers of Strong Magazine, American Fitness and Oxygen Magazine; Was hand chosen by former First Lady Michelle Obama to be the go to trainer for her Let's Move campaign; And with the help of her team is single handedly turning the fitness world upside down! I'm talking about the founder of Just Move, Kaisa Keranen…or you may know her as KaisaFit!We're going to check in with Kaisa and learn why movement is so important to her, why it should be to you, and hear what she is thinks is a backwards formula in the fitness industry.If you don't know, Kaisa is a Seattle girl at heart who loves to put on for her city – so we talk about her journey from Roosevelt HS in Seattle to current day - and you won't believe how she got started in the fitness world, because what she's doing now was not in the plans! And for that reason, her training an NBA Champion during his offseason is all the more interesting. And Kaisa will be the first one to let you know her thoughts about equality, so we talk about women in sports and the impact that it will have on future generations, as well as her involvement in the community and giving back.We've got all that and more to cover so we better get busy and “Just Move'', because Kaisa is in the building!
“We (the fitness industry) are a trillion dollar industry and we have never been making more money than we are today. The world has never been more unhealthy than it is today. There is something wrong with that picture. […] If we stop putting restrictions on people, and we help support their own journey in movement, we're going to be a far healthier world.” Kaisa joins her good friend, Curtis Terry, to talk about the journey to where she is now in her career, the importance of supporting community initiatives, and much more on UnCommenTerry.

My podcast w/ @justtrain dropped today and it's definitely the most personal interview I've ever done. Nothing was off limits and he wanted to know it all. I don't get personal often but he pulled it out of me
Never in a million years did I think I would have the opportunity to share my story with my peers... Words can't quite describe the feeling of gratitude I have for this experience. Up until several years ago I didn't even think I belonged in this industry. I constantly compared myself to everyone around me and always felt like I wound up short. I wasn't smart enough to be here was the story I told myself EVERY single day. The self-doubt was incredibly real for me for years and it wasn't until I made a decision to focus on my bigger mission, the reason I came into this industry in the first place, that things started to shift. I began to place value on the aspects of my work that brought me JOY, the things I was most PASSIONATE about and I ran with them. It was always my goal to get the world to JUST MOVE and there was no way I could continue to let insecurities get in the way of that mission. So to be standing there Saturday morning in front of my peers was an incredibly emotional experience to say the least. Thank you so much to EVERY SINGLE ONE of you who were there. You were so open, accepting and vulnerable with me. It was such a beautiful moment and I am forever grateful to have shared it with you all.
