I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:42 Welcome back to Be It Till You See It. You guys, we are continuing our, what do you call it? A round up, babe? You call it collection?Brad Crowell 0:49 Yeah, we call it the December round-up.Lesley Logan 0:51 Yeah. It's basically like a reflection review. And this particular episode has four of our favorite guests that have to do with health. We have these, have had multiple episodes that have to do with health.Brad Crowell 1:03 Many, many, many. Lesley Logan 1:04 Many. And so we are going to span the wide ranging topic of health, which can be a lot of things. We've got the tripod of health. We've got hormones in this one. We're gonna have sex in this one. Brad Crowell 1:13 Yeah, food is as part of the tripod. Lesley Logan 1:15 Yes, yes. We got lots of stuff so. Brad Crowell 1:18 Fitness, of course. Lesley Logan 1:19 So if you have been wondering, what health episode should I listen to during this chaotic month of December when most of my podcasts aren't listing anything new? The Be It Pod has given you four awesome ones, and we'll link even the numbers. You can go back and listen to the full interview in our catalog when you're ready.Brad Crowell 1:38 Let's dig in the first episode that we're gonna talk about today, that we're bringing back is episode number 25.Lesley Logan 1:45 Twenty-five.Brad Crowell 1:45 Twenty-five all the way back towards the very beginning.Lesley Logan 1:49 It's like 2022.Brad Crowell 1:51 We had a chance to interview Uma Naralkar, who talks a lot about food and nutrition, and we have two sections of this that we thought were really spectacular. So.Lesley Logan 2:07 Yeah, so first up, I really, I thought it was really cool and vulnerable that she talked about when she moved to the US and what the food was like, and how that challenged her and got her interested in what she has become known for, and being a nutritionist and things like that. So I'm really excited for us to hear her story of moving to the US.Brad Crowell 2:27 Yeah, so, and also she talked about this, her process of how she works with her clients, and she created something called the Tripod of Optimal Health. And I'm not going to tell you what it is, because you're going to hear it just after this. So tune in.Uma Naralkar 2:41 The biggest difference for me was the food, right? So in India, we have a lot of health. Inherently, there's health and cooks and food is never something that I had to even think about. So that's the reason why it was always so well -balanced and healthy, because it was like home-cooked Indian food and all the beautiful dals and vegetables, and it was primarily vegetarian. We ate meat on the weekends as like a treat. Dessert would always be homemade, something made in ghee, like, very, very like, decently portioned. And I came to America where everything was supersized, right? And I was a student. And, I mean, I was, first, it was shocking, then it was exciting, and then it was kind of like, I didn't have a choice. I was hungry, and I had to eat, and I was a student, so it was like, McDonald's and all the other and it was truly exciting, I have to say, in the beginning, because I was like, what is going on? Why are these people eating so much? But it was a huge adjustment. And you know, when you're asking me about how I, you know, the thing that I had to kind of like, get over and just be like, I'm going to embody this. I am. You know, the book Atomic Habits. Have you read that?Lesley Logan 4:01 Yes. Uma Naralkar 4:01 James Clear. He talks about shifting your identity to who you want to be. Do you remember that part of the book? What he's saying is that if you, you know you, if you want something, if you truly believe that you want something, you need to believe that you have it, and you need to shift your identity in the sense that you know I am a confident 20 year old girl in the United States, where I don't know shit about this country and I truly don't understand, have the words that they use. And at 20, was I clear about what I'm saying now? No, not at all, because it was nerve-racking. And the reason why I'm bringing it up is because the biggest obstacle, apart from the food, my biggest challenge, was speaking, or just speaking out in class, or just raising my hand, or just standing in front of an audience and saying, like anything, it was something that I didn't grow up with. In India, you never get an opportunity to speak anything. Everything is crowded and they don't have time for anybody speaking. So I think it was a true challenge, and it sounds so, it doesn't sound like a big deal because my children, both of them, grew up here. They're Californians, and, you know, I can see how speaking is so inherent, right? Like you're in a group setting, or if you're in a big crowd, just saying what you feel is pretty standard. First off, yes, to therapy. I think all kinds of therapy is, I appreciate all of it. And I think people, it's still, it's very interesting. Still, people have a lot of resistance to see a therapist or to, you know, just to open up and talk to someone else about what's going on. So yes, to therapy, but more than that, yeah, nutrition, what you're eating, is going to be foundational movement and how active you are and what you're doing there, as well as your stress levels, your sleep, all that, I think ties in. It is pretty holistic. I don't think it's one or the other. And I have a lot of really fit clients who are like, I mean, as fit as they can be, who are miserable, who are so unhappy, who are, who are they like, constantly looking for ways to, you know, get to the next level. And, quite frankly, they don't even know what the next level is. So I think it's, everyone's very different. And for one person, maybe it's like, you know, your nutrition is seriously lacking, and we need to make some switches so that you start, like, having a better relationship with food. But for someone else, it might just be something as simple as, you know, like doing yoga or getting out in nature, someone who's like, stuck in front of their computer all day and doesn't even like, realize it like, for example, like the best, I think the best example I can give is like being in a casino, right? Like, in inside a casino, like, how clever is that? It's like the lights are always the same, it's always bright, it's always entertaining. There's enough blue light to kick the melatonin out, so you're always in that cortisol rush. They want that because they want you to play. But that's how we are pretty, pretty much living our life like, like we're in a casino, right? Because we're indoors, we are in front of the computer, then we are watching something, and then we expect to have a good night's sleep. So I feel like it's, it's just, it all ties in, and it's not one thing I call it, I call it the Tripod, actually, of Optimal Health, which is what you're eating, what your movement, your life activity, your lifestyle, and then your mental health, your mindset, right? They all tie in. And then your health is sort of like sitting on that tripod. So if one of those legs is like wobbly, then the whole thing is going to collapse.Lesley Logan 7:59 So that was Episode 25 and we would love to know, we would love for you to share with us what part of the Tripod of Health that you're going to work on as we come into 2025 and no, it won't be a New Year's resolution. It will just be a thing that you're doing. Now we have Episode 55, so we're going way back in the catalog today's episode, and it's how are hormones dictating your life? And one of the things. Brad Crowell 8:21 With? Lesley Logan 8:21 With Jenn Pike. Brad Crowell 8:22 With Jenn Pike. Lesley Logan 8:23 Yeah, one of the things that we talk about that I'm really excited for you to talk, like, here is that the four different phases in your cycle, and this is really, really important, because I have a lot of people ask me a lot of questions about perimenopause. I want more episodes on this. But if you are not perimenopausal yet, or maybe you still have your cycle, but you're kind of, you know, that's what perimenopause is. You got to know what parts of the cycle you're in, because it affects how you work out. It affects what you should be eating. I had, there's some dream guests on my list that I want to have in future episodes, but we need to know these parts for those guests to make any sense. So like, dive into that first part with the different phases of your cycle, even if you think you know them.Brad Crowell 9:00 Yeah, the second part of this episode, though, I thought was really beneficial, was talking about educating both men and women on this. So I remember listening to this the first time, you know, a couple years ago, and I was taking notes because I knew none of this. I don't know how (inaudible)Lesley Logan 9:17 And you have a mom and a sister.Brad Crowell 9:18 And I went through high school and college, and never learned any of this stuff. Lesley Logan 9:22 And you had a wife before me. Brad Crowell 9:23 And I did have a wife before you, still didn't know any of this stuff. So, so the, she, Jenn talks about stigmatism, shame and embarrassment and the value of educating her son. I think she has sons. I can't remember. Son. She's one son. She's talking about how he knows just as much about the female body as her daughter and the value like, they, as a couple, decided to educate their son on purpose to avoid stigmatism and shame and embarrassment. So I thought that was really great.Lesley Logan 9:57 I love it. I love her. I love her for that already.Brad Crowell 10:00 Yeah. It's a win. There you go.Jenn Pike 10:03 So we go through four different phases in our cycle. So our cycle and our period are not the same thing. Your cycle is from day one of your bleed all the way through until you have your next bleed. That's a full cycle. Most women, it's going to range anywhere from 23 to 35 days. And in that cycle you have four different phases. So you have the phase that you bleed in, which is your actual period, when you come out of your period, you actually have what's referred to as the first phase, which is the follicular phase. And this is where your body, your hormones and estrogen and testosterone are starting to climb. Your uterine lining is starting to thicken again. This is typically where we actually feel more connected to our body. We do well with the estrogen surge. We feel clear, more focused, energized, happier. We're like gung-ho. We want to create new projects. We're super, you know, on point. Leading into ovulation, ovulation comes, it tends to be much more of a you know, I want to put myself out there. Confidence can peak a little higher, sex drive, typically. And the way I'm painting this picture, this isn't going to be for every woman. I'm just going to kind of give one example, and then I'll apex it on the other side. Once ovulation happens, you've now had this dip in estrogen and testosterone, and your luteinizing hormones increase as long as you've ovulated, your progesterone also increases. And that actually is a much more calming hormone. It helps us to integrate. It brings us into a place that is much more reflective, in that luteal phase, which are the couple weeks coming into your period. It's a time to really look at like what is working and what is not. It's time to finish projects. It's a time when you can feel really connected to your body, and then this is one of the times where you'll also know if things are out of balance, if that like seven to 10 day period of time before you bleed again, your mood's all over the place, you're emotional, your sleep is off, your gut is off, you're spotting. Your breasts are tender, like you're just like, oh my God, here we go again. My skin's breaking out. All the things are happening. That's a really strong indication that something is out of balance in your system. And it could be that you didn't ovulate, that you have lower progesterone, you have too much estrogen, it could be that all the hormones are sitting flat. It could be that testosterone and DHA is too high. So this is why testing and testing at the appropriate time of the month is such a valuable tool for women, because when you see it and someone's explaining it to you you're like, oh my gosh, I feel like you just described me to a tee. Yeah.Lesley Logan 12:34 No, I'm like, I'm like, sitting here, and I'm like, taking it all in, and I, like that whole part where it's like, that 7, 10, days before you just said, like, this is what you're gonna feel like, but this is also you could feel a look where things are out of whack. And I think we're taught, or at least I felt like, I felt like that's just the normal thing, like things are out of whack. And, yeah, what it sounds like, is it, and I did experience this, I did seed cycling for a long time because I felt like my swings were too big. And I was like, y'all, my boobs are a little bigger because of COVID and age, but they were very small back then. And I was like, they are too small to be this tender. Like this is not fun for me. And so I heard about seed cycling, and I did it consistently for three years. Not only did I literally make myself like clockwork with my cycle, I stopped breaking out. I don't have tenderness, and I've weaned off of it, and it hasn't been an issue, but I did notice that difference in that time before, it was almost like my period was a surprise each time, because I was like, oh, I didn't even know it's coming. (inaudible) Was feeling so good. That's so fascinating. Okay, so thank you for walking us through that. I think that it's helpful to know, like, just when you have the information, like you said, you just can expect things a little different, and you can know more about how you should be feeling, as opposed to like. Why do I feel like this versus yesterday? I felt better.Jenn Pike 13:55 I just want to say something quick on that before you go and you're talking about, you know, doing the recap with your husband. So I have two kids, a girl and a boy. My son knows just as much about the female body and cycles as my daughter, and that's on purpose, because part of the stigmatism and the shame and embarrassment ends when we stop excluding men and boys from the conversation as well. It, you know, it's like there's going to come a time in a boy's life where he's gonna, you know, you're either gonna be around a woman or your girlfriend or whatever it is, and you need to be able to understand what she's going through. And as I always say to my son, like bud, you wouldn't even be here if it weren't for our bodies doing this. So you should be darn grateful. Brad Crowell 14:33 All right, so that was Episode 55 with Jenn Pike. Hope you found it super helpful and educational. Lesley Logan 14:40 Her entire episode is so, has so, it's chock-full of information. You can, you could do, if you just used her episode to figure out what your health changes are for 2025 you would have enough to work on.Brad Crowell 14:54 Yeah, she's got a lot going on, and it's amazing. All right, next up we got Episode 85 let's talk about sex baby with Celeste Holbrook.Lesley Logan 15:02 I'm obsessed with her. Just so you know, I'm actually having a call with her tomorrow morning (inaudible) on the day that I, because I just love her. Brad Crowell 15:09 Well, she basically talked about, it's kind of a tack on to what we were just talking about with with Jenn Pike, about removing shame and embarrassment. This is about destigmatizing sex and the language around sex. And one thing she said that I thought was amazing was she pets her dog because she wants to feel calm. She rides her bike because she wants to, well, feel free. She has sex because she wants to feel pleasure, right? And it's like, we make it this taboo, weird, awkward thing, and she's like, but it shouldn't be that, you know? And she talks, she goes really in-depth about how, you know, how you might find pleasure in sex.Lesley Logan 15:48 Just so you know, I loved her so much we had her on the podcast twice. And we actually talked about bodies and all that stuff. So she's just fabulous. And especially for any of you who are raised in the purity culture, this episode is extremely freeing and informative.Brad Crowell 16:04 Yeah, yeah. So enjoy.Celeste Holbrook 16:06 I always think about what we want to feel in sex. Because everything that we do behaviorally, we do it because we want to feel something. So, like, I pet my dog because I want to feel calm. I ride my bike because I want to feel free. I do certain sexual activities because I want to feel pleasure, connection, erotic, intimate, loving, whatever it is that I want to feel in sex. And so start with the feeling. So, write down my dream sexual experience would feel like, and then write those words down, and then you can work your way backwards, like, okay, if I want to feel confident, what do I need to do behaviorally in order to feel confident? Maybe I need to learn more about my body. Maybe I need to establish a better relationship with my vulva and, like, clitoris. Maybe I need to have a masturbation practice. Maybe I need to read some more books, right? So start with what you want to feel and then work your way backwards. I want to feel connected. Okay, maybe I need to work on communication styles with my partner. Maybe I need to learn how to ask more for what I want, and maybe I don't know what I want. So maybe I need to take one more step back and figure out what I like and what I don't like, and do some more creative exploration in sex, you know. So I like to start out with that list of what we want to feel, because then you can build behaviors behind that.Lesley Logan 17:23 All right. So that was Celeste Holbrook's Episode 85 at the Be It Pod. If you want to go listen to the whole thing.Lesley Logan 17:31 Up next, we actually have Episode 139, Cycle Thinking Fitness & Balancing Your Hormones with Jenny Swisher. This is really, so again, we're having hormones, this is a totally different thing. So, we're actually going to be talking more about advocating for yourself, and ladies, but also gents listening, we always have a few good men, we often have been raised that like the doctors know best but really you know your body best and I think that this episode is one of those reminders that you can be your own best doctor and when you know your body best you can actually advocate for yourself and get the best health for yourself but especially for your hormones. And Jenny Swisher is really, I mean, like, what she's been doing since being on the podcast, really helping people understand their hormones, has been pretty epic.Brad Crowell 18:19 I just want to say that while we don't know medicine, because we're not doctors and didn't dedicate ourselves to study that there generally is logic behind the medicine. So if you're being given advice that is completely illogical or confusing to you before you just say yeah, let's do it, ask them to explain that further and understand it more. And it's okay to say that doesn't make sense to me.Lesley Logan 18:45 We didn't put the clip here. But if you want more, if you're inspired to be an advocate for yourself, definitely listen to Lindsay Miller's episode, Lindsay Moore's episode on, on being an advocate. And I do think, Brad, you make a, bring up a good point, like there is logic to it, but also they have to listen to you, like, they're not, at least in the States, they're not allowed to leave the room until you're done and you say, I have no more questions. And it is a practice. It's called a medical practice, and so they're practicing just like you'd have a Pilates practice, and so it's really, you should not feel ashamed or embarrassed to be like, hmm, I think I'm going to get another opinion on that.Brad Crowell 19:25 Yeah, yeah. That's okay. Lesley Logan 19:27 Yeah. So here is Jenny Swisher to inspire you to be your own best doctor.Jenny Swisher 19:31 I think you have to be your own best doctor. And I think, but you have to go into the the appointment knowing that, I mean, I don't know about anybody listening, but I know for me, especially after I feel like I'm an expert in sitting in doctor's offices after years of doing it, I felt like I got to the point where they were just going to diagnose or give me whatever I was leading them to. You know what I mean, like you're leading the doctor to the eventual answer. And so the more hormone literate you can become about your own body and your own cycle, for example, and in the case of hormone health, the easier it's going to be for the doctor to make those connections or to really, truly help you. I find that most people don't have the awareness that they need, the self-awareness and the body awareness of their own body to be able to go and get a proper answer from a doctor. And so it starts with that. But then when you are in that situation, when you go into it knowing like, this is how my body is supposed to operate. This is how it's supposed to feel. These are the things that I've learned about hormone health. And I'm not I'm low in energy, or I'm this, or I'm that, then you can go into the appointment and say hey, I think this is how I'm supposed to be feeling. But instead, I feel this way. What are some things that we can look into?Lesley Logan 20:35 All right. That was Episode 139, with Jenny Swisher, so you can go and listen to her full episode, if you'd like here in the Be It catalog. Again, this is a round-up of just a few of our favorite health episodes, and we hope that you're enjoying getting just some reminders of some of the epic guests we've had, or maybe we're peaking your interest in a topic that you're wanting to go back and learn more about. All of our guests are pretty amazing. And I can't believe that was like almost 300 episodes ago. Some of these are like 400 episodes ago. So, but also, like, I still take these tips. I still remember these people's tips in my daily life. I reflect back upon them, and so they really meant a lot to me.Lesley Logan 21:18 I'm Lesley Logan.

There's actually, if you look at today.com or whatever, nationaltoday.com there's a bunch of them we could have chosen, but this one I like, because Spirit Day is an annual observance that takes place on the third Thursday in October, October 17th this year. This day aims to create awareness for the bullying harassment that the LGBTQ community faces. Millions of people worldwide identify as queer, and many more are yet to publicly declare their status. Such a large community of people shouldn't be alienated or marginalized because of their sexual orientation, but the reality, sadly, is that they are. All over the world, LGBTQ youth suffer harassment because of their identity. There's a need for transgender individuals to have more protected rights. Hear, hear. So, that's what today is, getting the awareness out. And so, yeah, yeah, it's National Spirit Day.Brad Crowell 2:09 Yeah. Unfortunately, this has been politicized, because it shouldn't be. It's just about human rights and people being people, and us leaving people alone.Lesley Logan 2:19 I know. And also, like, (inaudible) the amount of people who think that, like, children are just going to school and then coming out as trans, I would like, ask people if you are really, if you think that all these people are just now, like, it's just a preponderance of people as trans, I would want you to, like, just do a little analysis on that. And also, I think it's really cool that we live in a world where in some place it is safe for people to explore who they are and share that. We also live in a world where it is really unsafe and it shouldn't even be political. Your sexual orientation should never be politicized. Anyways, I'm getting frustrated. I'm sad for those people. So anyways, if you live in a place where you can vote for people who support people's rights, I would highly recommend you do that, so go do that. And currently we are on vacation. So while we're on vacation from our amazing retreat, if you want to come on that amazing retreat, this is kind of like the last hurrah. Well, that's, apparently not. We actually had someone sign up for our sold out retreat three weeks before we left, because my mom wanted to bring her friend. And so we made, we moved mountains. Brad Crowell 3:22 I was gonna say we did. We did make an exception. That wasn't the plan. Lesley Logan 3:25 But you can, apparently, you, just so you know, you can be one of those people who waits the last minute. I wouldn't recommend it. So I would snag your spot now at crowsnestretreats.com, to join us in February.Brad Crowell 3:35 Yeah, we're gonna be going to back to Cambodia, to our favorite place in the world, Siem Reap, where we get a chance to take you to our house. We have a 12-bedroom apartment complex there, you come stay at our place, practice Pilates during the week, then we go on Temple tours, then we have some amazing food. We meet some incredible people. We explore the countryside. We explore the city. It is just an amazing experience to see another place in a group, where you kind of get a little bit of adventure, but you still feel like you're safe and with a group and everything like that. The one last thing I first landed in Cambodia, we got off the plane, like, 10 o'clock at night. It was super, super dark, and I was getting sick. I was like, on my I had caught something where I was, like, having a runny nose, and I wasn't feeling great, and I was so excited to go, but I was also not feeling well, and Lesley looks around, smells the charcoal in the air because people were cooking dinner, and she says my soul is home. And I was like, how do you know your damn soul is home you haven't seen anything yet. Lesley Logan 3:39 It's dark and it's crazy and it's chaos. And I was like, it is, we're gonna live here, and we had seen nothing or eat nothing. So that was really brave of me, but we really loved it. And so you get to come to our house. Brad Crowell 4:45 Yeah, you should come with us and hang out, go to crowsnestretreats.com, crowsnestretreats.com. Next up.Lesley Logan 4:52 Then after I come back, I go and I'm gonna stay in LA to get ready for the accessories deck shoot. So that is the sixth deck in the series. For the flashcards. Brad Crowell 5:03 Flashcards (inaudible) talking about deck here. Lesley Logan 5:05 You're not reading my mind, everyone? You're not like you're not picturing what I'm thinking about? Also, because I just got to finally announce that the mat deck 2.0 has shipped. While you're listening to this, it has shipped over a month ago. So there's that. Anyways, we're wrapping up this whole project and this product, and so we're doing the photo shoot, and all of those on the waitlist will get the presale opportunity. When is that going to be? I can't tell you in this moment, but it's probably somewhere around Q2 so you'll want to go to opc.me/flashcardwait list, opc.me/flashcardwaitlist. All right, Brad, tell them about what's next for you.Brad Crowell 5:42 All right, so I've been hosting a webinar called the Pilates Studio Growth Accelerator. So if you are a fitness business owner out there and you have, you're bringing people to your home for a home studio, or maybe you rent a small boutique space, or maybe you have a team. This webinar is for you. Okay, what are we going to talk about? We're going to talk about, how do you double your income over the next 12 months? Right? That's a crazy thing to even think about. But ultimately, we all know that money is involved in our, you know, running our own business here, and we work our asses off, and we barely are making ends meet, and it's time for us to actually make the profit that we need, so that we can actually take a deep breath and enjoy what we're doing, because I know how stressful it is to barely be keeping our heads above water. We did it for many, many years, until we got coaching. And then when we got coaching, everything changed dramatically. And so this webinar is going to share with you three big secrets that Lesley and I have determined, after we have coached now more than 2000 clients of our own businesses, just like yours, small businesses, people just getting started, all the way up to people with million dollar studios. And we just had a lot of experience doing it, and we want to share that experience with you. So come join me for free. prfit.biz/accelerator, that's profit without -the O dot B-I Z slash accelerator, and come join me. Yeah. Lesley Logan 5:48 Yeah and then come hang out with us IRL, we're going, gosh, we're gonna have the biggest tour ever, our winter tour. At this moment, it's possible we've even announced the date, because I don't know. We're trying to do it in October. That's our goal. Brad Crowell 7:18 Yeah. Dates will definitely be available. So yeah, we're going on tour, y'all. We're leaving in December the sixth, and we'll be coming back more than a month later. We're going to be doing over 8000 miles drive around the country. We're going to basically stick through 40 as we go across the south till we hit North Carolina. Then we're going to go all up to Maine, then all the way down the east coast to Miami, and then we're going to come back through Texas, and we're going to hit Phoenix on the way home. So if any of that sounds like you're remotely close, or going to be close, or going to be near family that's close, go to opc.me/tour. We'd love to meet you in person and hang out and do Pilates and, you know, just kick it. It is an incredible opportunity to get to meet our pups. That's going to be a blast. Lesley Logan 7:59 Yeah, I'm really excited for all the places that we're going to, the studios we're finally going to see. I mean, it's just going to be wonderful. So thank you all who always come out on our tour. Oh my gosh. One of the, you know how we were in Korea, I was supposed to, we were talking about someone who was like, I (inaudible) a workshop in Korea. Well, someone lived in Canada. Well, someone now lives in the DC area. And I was like, we're going to see you. She's like, oh my God. We're finally gonna meet three countries later. We're doing it. We're doing it. All right, well, opc.me/tour. Go get your tickets because, believe it or not, winter tours sell out really fast because people make plans early. So there you go. before you get into Andrew's amazing notes for all of us, let's talk about the audience question. Brad Crowell 8:40 Yeah. JoannPilates on Instagram asked, "Hi Lesley, I hear that you are good in teaching headstand on the reformer. Do you teach via zoom?"Lesley Logan 8:48 I know we posted my headstand and now I do headstand by myself, without you. Brad Crowell 8:52 Yeah, no, I'm impressed. Lesley Logan 8:54 I know. And actually everyone is, too. So I know. Brad Crowell 8:56 That everyone is impressed or everyone is doing headstand? Lesley Logan 8:58 No, they're impressed. But, (inaudible) someone else did it, someone else tagged me in their headstands journey. And so am I good at teaching headstand? I am really good at teaching people connections that they need. So if headstand is the goal, great, but also, if you're going, what is headstand in Pilates? Like, I really am so grateful that Jay Grimes and all the teachers that he taught who have been in my life have helped me understand how to, like, build someone up to an exercise versus take an exercise down to a client. Yeah, sure. And so that's what I teach people at eLevate, which is my mentorship program. So that's really where I can help you with the headstand, because one session I could probably give you some homework, but if you're not ready for headstand, we're not doing headstand. I'm not going to bring an exercise down to you. I'm going to bring you up to an exercise. So I would need to see you move and then go, are you even ready for this? Is it an exercise that's right for you? It's also okay for it actually not to be right for you. You guys like, it's really okay for you to go, that's, that exercise is not right for me. Like, tendon stretch in the reformer if you've got tight hamstrings. We're not doing that today. We got to work on opening those hamstrings up and finding more strength, and (inaudible).Brad Crowell 10:03 That takes, like, a week, right? Yeah, yeah.Lesley Logan 10:05 Yeah, like, a thousand weeks, you know? So, so am I good at it? And do I teach on Zoom? I teach eLevate via zoom, and you can come in person. Do I teach private clients on Zoom? It's rare that someone outside of my eLevate group gets a Zoom call. That doesn't mean you won't. Doesn't mean you won't, but I'm just telling you like, I don't got a lot of hours in the day to teach people, but my eLevators always get an opportunity to work with me, either privately or in a group. 2025 eLevate is sold out. So.Brad Crowell 10:35 It is, I know, that's insane. Lesley Logan 10:37 So you can get on the waitlist or you can grab 2026. All that being said, I also do have a workshop called Bottoms Up. And while I don't break down headstand in that workshop on OPC, it absolutely will help you with the idea of how to break down this exercise. And I do have the headstand tutorials up on YouTube. It's free. (inaudible) flashcards. Brad Crowell 10:57 We also have breaking down advanced exercises. Lesley Logan 10:59 Guide, which is free. Brad Crowell 11:00 Yeah. So we'll put the links to all three of those in the show notes. Lesley Logan 11:05 But Joann, if you and a bunch of people want to explore this, obviously, I don't want you to wait till 2026, let's talk. But also, please ask yourself, everyone, before you're like, oh my God, look at that party trick. You gotta ready yourself for that party trick. So you've got to be obsessed with the foundations of Pilates. If you really think you're advanced, then a beginner class should feel hard, because you have, you are actually bringing all of your body to those beginner exercises. Because I actually would say that there is no such thing as beginner exercise. There are exercises that beginners can do. Brad Crowell 11:37 I mean, there's also variations on the headstand, so some of them are really intense. Lesley Logan 11:41 Yes, today, I incorporated, I actually faced I did the facing up today. I took it out of my practice for about six months, and I showed it to my teacher, and he's like, do this. And I did what he said, and it was fucking 10 times better. It all was. It's like focusing my eyes was insane. But when I took it out six months ago, I was doing things to build it back up into my practice. I got to build myself up to it. So, some exercises I don't do because I'm not ready for him yet, or, or like my body is on a pause on that, you know. So it's okay for that. All right, let's talk about Andrew Fix.Brad Crowell 12:18 All right. Now, let's talk about Dr. Andrew Fix. Dr. Fix is a doctor of physical therapy and an expert in running and lifting-related injuries. He helps run a performance-based physical therapy practice that focuses on helping clients recover from pain and get back to the activities they love through his method, his process of the three R's, reset, restore and reload. Andrew also co-hosts The Code: A guide to Health and Human Performance Podcast where he discusses optimizing health through sleep, nutrition and movement. Yeah, really cool. It's exciting that he took a chance, moved across the country and opened his own business. We're all about that. Lesley Logan 12:57 Yeah, I know. I just think that's what a, that's a big deal. It's not easy. You know, one of the things I think about is like, people like, oh, I can't do that here. And I'm like, why are you there? When people fight us on the limitations of doing their business where they are, I'm just kind of like, but why are you there, then? Like, are you married to that place? Because you can rent your home out now, it's so much easier to relocate than it ever once was. And people need Pilates everywhere. So I'm just saying, if you're frustrated where you are, you could be like, Andrew, you just move. Lesley Logan 13:26 So one of the things I really like that we talked about is the mind is such a powerful tool as he said. So he said, If you keep telling yourself, I'm the person with the bad back, or I'm this, you are actually reinforcing it. And this is so true, because you guys, when I study mindset, the thing about your mind is it actually is listening to you and you really don't want your mind to go on its own thing. That would be really bad. That would be like.Brad Crowell 13:54 What do you mean on its own thing (inaudible)?Lesley Logan 13:56 So like, if you tell yourself, I have a bad back, you don't let your mind go let me show you how good your back is. You don't want your mind to go rogue on you, because then, like you're you the person, are not in control. You're actually controlling your mind. You're in control of the thoughts you have. I would hate for me to go, uh, I'm the most amazing person in the world and my mind goes, here's 17 reasons you're not. You don't want that as your mind. You don't want, that's not what you want.Brad Crowell 14:17 But that's, I'm so confused. Lesley Logan 14:19 Why? How are you confused? Brad Crowell 14:21 You're saying the opposite of the thing.Lesley Logan 14:23 No. So, he said, the mind is a powerful tool. If you tell yourself, I have a bad back, it reinforces it. And I'm saying it's so true. When I study mindset, there's little science that shows that your brain does not go rogue on you. If you say, I have a bad back, it doesn't say, let me show you how amazing your back is. Brad Crowell 14:39 Okay, all right, you don't want it to be the opposite of what you're thinking it is. Lesley Logan 14:43 Right.Brad Crowell 14:43 Okay, that's why I completely lost this (inaudible). Lesley Logan 14:45 Because that would be, that would not be great if your mind went rogue and did its own thing. You would want to go left and your mind's going, we're going right, like that would be a waste of time. You'd be in an argument with yourself all of the time. So, so we reinforce it. Also, I just studied. Shout out to Mariska Breland. I just studied her. Brad Crowell 15:02 Who?Lesley Logan 15:03 Mariska Breland, Mariska, maybe it's Mariska Breland. Maybe I'm saying Marishka because of Law and Order, her name is Mariska. Anyways, she's amazing. She's lovely. I've met her many times. She's a great teacher. But I was studying, I was watching her workshop on fear in movement. It's called kinesiophobia. Kinesiophobia. It's an actual thing of people who are afraid to move. And the thing is, is, if you're like, oh my god, it hurts when I do that, then you don't do it. So then when you go to do it, it hurts when you do it, because you haven't been doing it. And so we just reinforce ourselves. And so he said, you are always going to have a bad back because that's what you keep telling yourself, and also because of your, because you tell yourself that, then you don't do the things that would actually help your back out. Because you're like, I have a bad back, and so you're not strengthening your core, you're not challenging things. You are just kind of staying in that thing. And he said, to change the narratives, like, I used to have pain, but I'm doing things to improve it, so I can do X, Y and Z in the future, there's actual and because I just dodged this workshop, there is a lot of science in the power of positivity and reframing. I'm not able to do this today. For example, Joann with the headstand. She can't. If she walked away and said, I can't do a headstand, she'll never do a headstand. But if she says, I'm not able to do a headstand yet, and I'm working on doing X, Y and Z, she is preparing her mind for being able to do a headstand. She's telling her mind it's going to be a thing we're gonna have, we're gonna get there. And because it's so positive, and because she's actually proclaiming that these things are there, you're allowing space for your body to feel safe in the practice of getting the thing.Brad Crowell 16:32 Yeah, I can totally relate to this, too. Because when I was younger, my mom told me, oh, we have very limber bodies. And because we have very limber bodies, we just always have back pain. That was her lived experience. She was in a car accident when she was a kid, and for 20-plus years, had really, really challenging back problems, and she was always like the athlete, but was the skinny kid athlete, right? Never, she could be blown over. And the same thing for me when I got on the soccer field, when I got in high school, I was muscled off the ball all the time because I was too skinny. And I was like, I guess this is just how I'm always going to be. And then when I moved to Los Angeles, I slept on the floor because I didn't have the money to buy a $5,000 mattress, so I figured it would be better for my body if I slept on a hard surface, so I slept on the floor. And I told myself that for years, I slept on the floor for four years, and that's because I was like, the floor is better than any shitty bed I'm going to be able to afford, so I'm just going to sleep on the floor. Now, I probably could have slept on a futon, but I didn't. I think it was also a little bit of pride in there, because it's quite a story to tell. But the story I told myself was like, I'm always going to be weak. I'm always going to have this back pain. It didn't even change when I got started doing yoga, until it changed, and all of a sudden I was like, oh, I don't hurt it anymore. This is crazy, right? I didn't even it wasn't like my mindset changed. It was like, my my physical I wanted to do something so much that I actually my body changed after doing it and then I was like, oh, I don't have to be in pain every day. I'm not in pain right now. This is crazy. Lesley Logan 18:09 Yeah and that because, that desire to want something helps people get around the limitations that they have. And by the way. Brad Crowell 18:15 Well, I think you could do it opposite the way I do. I fell in love with the idea of doing yoga before I realized that that would help my back. Lesley Logan 18:22 Yeah, you totally can. And I think we're not saying, you guys, that all of your pain is thought into your body, or told into your body, like, obviously, like, real accidents, injuries have happened, but you have to just be mindful of how you're talking about yourself, because your body is listening.Brad Crowell 18:38 Yeah, yeah, it totally is. Lesley Logan 18:40 All right. What'd you love? Brad Crowell 18:41 All right. So what I really found interesting, intriguing, in fact, because this is not the way that I've always thought about it, is he basically was saying, when it comes to surgery and making decisions that seem like they're going to change everything, which surgery certainly can change everything in a good or a bad way. Often people are told, hey, you can build muscle around this instead of having a surgery, because you don't want to, you know, have the surgery now and then hurt it again, and then have to have another one later, or whatever. And he said he kind of focuses on the quality of life. If the injury that you're having is preventing you from doing the activity that you enjoyed, then he would rather have the surgery twice than wait. You know, preferred addressing the issue when, when it impacts his ability to do the activity he enjoyed. For my sister, she was a semi-pro soccer player. She was like, on the path and like trying to go do that professionally, and she had an ACL tear. That one was pretty clear she can't, literally couldn't walk properly if she didn't have the surgery. And so, you know, she had the surgery, and then from there, she went back and did a long amount of rehab, and then started playing soccer again, until another one down the road did happen and that she decided, okay, we're done doing this. But the reality is she probably could have lived around for a long time before having the surgery later on, whenever that is, or whatever, but she wouldn't have been able to go back and continue playing at all, or coaching or doing any of the things that bring her joy. I think another example would be like Lori on the OPC platform. She was in a car accident and had to have her spine fused, and that's a scary thing, like having your vertebrae fused can become a very limiting problem, but had she not, she would have been living in incredible amount of pain, and what she's been able to persevere despite having a fusion has led to an amazing life.Lesley Logan 20:42 Right? And I just think I really like this, because it's like, how long have you been, like, dealing with it, dealing with, insert, the issue with your body, ache and pain, some sort of limitation, and is it keeping you from saying yes to things that you want to say yes to? Are you not putting things on your vision board? Are you not going on a trip? Are you on the trip and everyone goes up and you just stay there? If that's you, then it may be worth looking at the support that can help you. Now, you might be like Lesley and Brad and Dr. Andrew, like the if I get the surgery, then I can't actually do these things, because it will fuse me, or it will do this. Then guess what? He said, quality of life, and if it's gonna affect all about you, then you don't do the surgery. You can actually take his advice and use it both ways. Brad Crowell 21:27 Yeah, I was thinking about your dad too, because, you know, he's 72 and his knees aren't exciting and.Lesley Logan 21:33 I know. Him not wanting to get an MRI, because he doesn't want to know what it is. Brad Crowell 21:36 He doesn't even want to know what the problem is. Because, you know, and that, that is a bummer to me, because if we, if he was going to have the surgery, especially where he's at in his stage of life, I would argue the sooner, the better, because he's going to recover better. Now imagine if he's to wait five years. Lesley Logan 21:50 Or even if he, I told him we don't have to do surgery, we could just find out what's going on, and then we can know what muscles to strengthen, like even. Brad Crowell 21:58 Well, those are, these are two different arguments. But yeah, I agree. I mean, I couldn't agree more. (inaudible)Lesley Logan 22:04 You just need information, you have to get the information. Can't be scared of the information. I get it. I don't. I don't know why all of us are like I don't I want to go. I don't want to know, because then I might be dying.Brad Crowell 22:15 You're still gonna die. Lesley Logan 22:16 You're still gonna die. And wouldn't you like to know, because then you maybe you go to fucking Fiji. I don't know. Brad Crowell 22:20 Yeah, it's that, too. Lesley Logan 22:21 Yeah. Brad Crowell 22:22 Well, anyway, you know, I think he kind of summed it up, saying, sometimes we push past this tipping point where our quality of life really deteriorates because of the pain, and it probably would have been better to just get the surgery like five years before. So, you know, it's a very interesting perspective. I don't think that that's the perspective of everybody of all physios, because sometimes surgery can have negative effects, but also.Lesley Logan 22:44 I am having problems with my wrists and the doctors did not want me to have surgery. And I said, but I'm limited. I'm 21 years old, and I have pain flare ups, and I'm limited to using my arm, which is affecting my core, because it's actually making me have a functional scoliosis that I don't have. I was like, it is limiting me. If I have the surgery, will the pain go away? And, like, we think so. I'm like, then I would like to do it. So I don't care that only every other week for one day I can't use my arm. No, I want to have my arm every day of the week. And so I fought with them, and they said, well, we want to do one more test. When they did that one more test, guess what? They're like, oh, you need surgery. I'm like. So think about your quality of life and how you want to live it, and then advocate for yourself in that way, either way, that it is. Brad Crowell 22:46 Dig it. All right, stick around we'll be right back. We're going to cover those Be It Action Items from Dr. Andrew Fix. Brad Crowell 23:11 All right, welcome back. So finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Dr. Andrew Fix? He said most people think that pain is one of the reasons why they don't sleep well, and he argues it's the exact opposite. He said research shows our shitty sleep is the reason that we have pain. Because obviously what I did find interesting is he said we are meant to sleep approximately one-third of our lives. one-third of our lives we are meant to sleep. Lesley Logan 24:05 Brad, did you hear that? Did you hear yourself say it? Brad Crowell 24:07 I don't even understand what that means. I'm lucky if I'm sleeping 25% of my life, but one-third of, he said one-third of our lives, so that we can perform better during the other two-thirds, right? So when we don't sleep well our nervous system does not recover or repair itself, and then we have a pain processing problem where our nervous system doesn't know how to interpret the things that are going on because we have not rested and recovered. So he said you are more likely to have pain if you're not sleeping well. So that's interesting. So to reduce pain, prioritize getting quality sleep, to help your body recover and repair itself. Who knew? Lesley Logan 24:47 I love it. Brad Crowell 24:47 I mean, it's pretty fucking logical. Lesley Logan 24:49 Yeah, that makes a lot of sense to me.Brad Crowell 24:51 Yeah. Lesley Logan 24:51 So he had another Be It Action Item which was, if something was working for you, if something's not serving you, use your mind, plan things out, and also follow your gut. So like, we know we're like this, something doesn't feel right, and we kind of just like, push through, push through. And he is saying, no, use your mind and then make a plan and stick with following your gut. So a lot of times, you will share your plan with people, or you'll like, oh, that's not going to work, but it worked for this person. But if your gut's saying, I think I need to do this, I think, like, he's saying, follow that. That's part of your Be It Action Item. And what's super cool is, well, actually, we've talked about Lori already. So Lori was having a hip thing, and her doctors were saying, like, oh, it's coming from this nerve in your back. And she's like, no, no, I don't think so. And so she was doing PT, and she's like, it's like, making things worse. So it's not working for her. It's not serving her. And so she kind of did some research, figured out, and she went in with a plan, going with her gut. She's like, this isn't working. Here's where that nerve runs, and here's where that should cause pain. I'm having it here. So it's got to be something different. And so they made another plan for her. And so I think that's really, really cool. So she already did this Be It Action Item, everyone. So, you know, go Lori, but I think it's just really, I really, I really like this, too often we kind of just push through, even though we have something like niggling inside, going, don't do it. Brad Crowell 26:07 Yeah, my, my mom had a crazy situation when she was a child. She was a teen, I think. Her finger got smashed in our garage door. Like, completely flat and, yeah, like, terrifying. And she gets rushed to the ER, basically alone, and the doctor came in and said here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna blah-blah-blah, and she looked at him, and she was like, uh, we're not gonna do that. I don't know, whatever you just said, but I don't agree. And she's like, 15 or whatever. I don't know. She's a teen. She's like, argue with a doctor, like, don't touch me, right? And then her parents got there, and they had a conversation. She talked about the whole thing with them, and they ended up doing something else. But she was like, no, I don't even remember what it was like, we're gonna amputate. She's like, hell no. Like, I don't think that's what the problem is, but whatever it was she said, I don't think so. In fact, also too, we just had another conversation just yesterday with a friend of ours. She has been going to a chiropractor for a long time, and her chiropractor was not available during her session for whatever reason, and one of the other chiropractors came in and she said, I'm so sorry. I don't feel comfortable working with you. I'm sorry. You know, so she didn't want to be adjusted by someone else, and that's okay, you know? That's okay to feel that, understand that, and be like, no, so.Lesley Logan 27:21 I also think we have to like, that needs to be normalized. And if you are in some way advocate for yourself in the medical world, and please listen to Lindsay Moore's episode. Listen to the one where they had Jessica Valant. You are not rude, you are not an asshole, you're not a bitch, you're not any of these things. If you are like, I just don't really like this situation. Like, I'm not liking this situation, you don't even have to have a good excuse. Like, if your gut's just like, this is not right. I don't want to do this. It's totally okay to say you know what? Actually, I'm gonna pause, I'm gonna skip this. And I know it's frustrating. I know there's copays, but like, honestly, you'll be in the grand scheme of things, you, you might not know what you just saved yourself from, and that's okay. We don't need to. Like, your gut instinct is really important, and you can fine-tune things along the way. Is what he said. It doesn't have to be perfect. You don't have to have it all figured out when you get to do these things.Brad Crowell 28:13 Yeah, and we just gave a whole bunch of examples of how trusting your gut to say no. But there's also the other way around, where you're like, I know this is the right thing, and I can keep going. So we have this really weird innate ability to be in tune. You know, our body is like telling us, but we actually have to tune into that. Our mind has to pay attention to that. So pay attention. It's important. All right.

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 startedLesley Logan Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co host in life, Brad and I are going to dig into the advocational convo I had with Lindsay Moore. I think we made that word up.Brad Crowell No, I looked that up. (Lesley: Okay, well ...) I mean, I replace that, it keeps trying to say a-vocational, but advocational is in the Wiktionary. (Lesley: Oh.) Yeah.Lesley Logan Okay. All right. So, in our last episode, if you haven't yet listened to episode, go back and listen to it now or feel free to pause this one. Listen to it. Don't listen to it. Then listen to this one and go back and listen to it. You're gonna love Lindsay's voice. I'm gonna be really honest. (Brad: She's very sweet.) Go listen to it. If you want to listen to this one first and then the other one. I know people do that this because they tend to listen to things on like the end the week and then they go backwards in time. It's also fine. It's kind of like, knowing the answers before the questions. I don't know. It feels, it feels good. So you do you. It's really what we're saying.Brad Crowell So it's starting at the end of the maze. (Lesley: That's me.) Yes, it is.Lesley Logan Y'all okay, this is not in our notes, but I just have to say this because Brad was in there for this. But I'm in when I was on the Kate Wind podcast, Mom and Me Astrology. They said that like you know as with the way my chart reads, it's like really good with like before and afters. And I didn't say it but I want to say is I'm really focused on the after, and then figuring out how to get from there to the before which is now. So anyway, if you listen to that episode, you know, I like it before and after, but for different reasons.Brad Crowell That is amazing. (Lesley: Okay.) All right. Well, before we get started, we got a couple quick things.Lesley Logan Hello, from Monterey, California. We're at the Balanced Body POT. Y'all. We are at this POT right now. We're going to be in Korea at the South Korea POT and Seoul that is in I think May, and then we're going to be in Miami for that POT. So like, (Brad: Yeah, like this year.) get on the POT train. It's so much fun.Brad Crowell It's a blast.Lesley Logan Yeah. How do you get on that? That's a Balanced Body question. But, but but just know that we're there. So we hope to see you. (Brad: Yes.) And if you're in Monterey right now. Well, we're we're here. (Brad: Come and say, Hi.) We're one of the hotels on the main drag. So there you go.Brad Crowell You'll see us bopping around the event. (Lesley: Yeah. Can't miss that.) We already have a table.Lesley Logan Yeah. And in a week and a half, we're gonna do a pre sale for the chairs flashcards. Oh my God, I'm so proud of myself. ... I'm so proud of myself because I was I was really worried that this is gonna be another nine month project. But like I've been really meeting the deadlines and the our team is really got my back, we got a really good system going on. So I'm so excited to say that we are literally we going halfway from opening up the opportunity to buy up early so that we can hit print, and then you will get the best deal on the show, on the up, I don't know on the road, on the in the in the ...Brad Crowell On the presale.Lesley Logan Yeah, you'll get the best deal. It's the pre sale, it's the best deal. (Brad: Yeah.) It'll be regular price when they come out, just so you know. (Brad: That's right.) So if you're like, "Oh, wait till they ship." You'll just pay more. Thank you, but you can pay less and buy early.Brad Crowell Yeah, so we've got a waitlist for you. Only those who are on the waitlist, they're gonna get the hookup. Okay. So you can find that waitlist at opc.me/flashcard waitlist. I'm just gonna say that again, opc.me/flashcard waitlist. And we will put that in the show notes. Because I know it's a mouthful.Lesley Logan Yeah. And then the doors are already open for our October retreat. (Brad: What?!) Yep. And if you know, you know, so that's all we're gonna say about that. (Brad: YKYK) All right, do we have a question, Brad?Brad Crowell We do. And actually, this question was sent to you over the gram.Lesley Logan Yeah. Yeah, it's actually like, I think they were to be honest, I think they're referencing an old YouTube video. So bless them for going back in time. Because I don't, I actually don't do Pilates after I weight train anymore due to my schedule. So I had to like, "Oh, let me update you on my life."Brad Crowell Well, why don't you read the question?Lesley Logan Yeah, well probably should do that. My brain ... says, okay, this person said, You mentioned do you like to do Pilates after you weight train. I do Pilates before I weight train is one better than the other. And when I told them was, Wow, thank you so much for like looking at this old video back in that life that I had. That's what I had access to because I actually had Pilates and weight training in the same building. And so I could do it that way and here's why I liked it that way. After you first of all, like weight training requires a lot of a lot of like stamina and the muscles and strength and then you need to stretch and I actually hate stretching like I actually (Brad: Oh) so this is not a (Brad: really) scientific opinion. This is just my opinion. Yeah, so require stretching and I hate to stretch. (Brad: Oh, I love it.) I know you love it. You also hate weight training. So it's like a really ... SoBrad Crowell I think that's what, but you're naturally flexible too, though.Lesley Logan Yeah, but you still have to stretch.Brad Crowell Yeah, I know. But (Lesley: Yeah.) that's not my point. My point was that I'm naturally flexible. And I love to stretch. (Lesley: I am naturally ...) I am not naturally strong.Lesley Logan Yeah, I think I'm both. Anyways, soBrad Crowell I'm just perfect, you know.Lesley Logan I'm just perfect in all, in every way. Um, no. So um, so why I liked Pilates after I weight train is because it actually did the stretching for me, obviously, their strength components and Pilates a strength based workout. But it was really nice. And it really like to me prepped me for the next time I weighed trained in my, in my opinion, the the problem with doing plies, after you weight train is one you have to have the time and the accessibility and b) there's no breaks in Pilates like there are breaks and weight training. So for the person who does it before they weight train, the reason why that's an awesome option is because it warms you up for weight training, it gets all your bodies connected, it allows you to be moving from your center right away from your first rep. And you get breaks in your weight training. So if you're like, oh my God, that was a lot that was like, you know, every other set, like I just walk around and chat with people for a couple minutes and then go at it again. Like it's, it's, it's weird for me to do that. But you can so, is one better. I've never done a scientific test on this. I haven't seen anything from the Huberman podcast just gonna say he does a lot of deep scientific research. So I really just think what do you have accessibility too? And is it is either practice having a negative effect based on the order that you're doing it. If it is then switch the order or switch the day.Brad Crowell Yeah, I think I mean, you know, like, the idea is, with Pilates, you're going to be moving, moving consistently, over 10 15 minutes, right. You're going to get the blood flowing through your body, and that is going to benefit you when you are weight training. (Lesley: Yeah.) So I love the idea of doing it before, because it gets the blood flowing. Doing it after Pilates, also, not only does it help you strengthen, but it also helps you stretch. So you could use it as a cooldown (Lesley: Yeah.) in addition. So (Lesley: Yeah.) actually, you could do it both.Lesley Logan Yeah. (Brad: Yeah.) Yeah, that's what I so I just think like, it really has to depend on you and also your body and and then ladies, just gonna like remind you of Jenn, Jenn Pike's podcast, podcast episode and also Dr. Bender's first podcast episode. Based on our hormones, our workout schedule has to change a bit. So you're, you may have times of the week where you can do it today like I could where I could do weight training and Pilates. And then there's days where it's like, Are you kidding yourself? You should just be doing Pilates. And if you are ...Brad Crowell Yeah or just do some jumping jacks. (Lesley: Yeah.) Good to go.Lesley Logan Yeah. And if you are pre menopausal, that is going to be a whole different ball of wax that you get to experience on your own. Yes, love. I heard your request. I'm working on a menopausal guest. So stay tuned. But in addi... any, the too long didn't read is, do it makes you feel good. That's always gonna be better.Brad Crowell All right. Okay. Now let's talk about Lindsay Moore.Lesley Logan Aren't you so excited to talk about her.Brad Crowell I am. She's amazing.Lesley Logan We love her.Brad Crowell Yeah, obviously. She was, actually she was the first teammate, (Lesley: We've ever hired.) that we've ever hired.Lesley Logan Yeah. And if you didn't listen to her episode, then you don't know how much we loved her. You don't how we met and that's a reason why you should listen to it first. But anyways, Brad's gonna tell you about her.Brad Crowell Yeah, she's just lovely. But on a mission to empower people towards getting the best health care they possibly can. Lindsay is a doula, a patient advocacy consultant, a coach and a speaker. She works with individuals, families and provides and provides, (Lesley: providers) oh, I read that wrong.She works with individuals, families and providers to foster great communication to transition well, through the different stages in life.Lesley Logan Yeah. Which, I just want to like point out, we probably have it in our notes. But if you can notice, like she says providers versus doctors, and that we talked about that in the podcast and why like that's a really ...Brad Crowell Yeah and we're not necessarily patients. We are clients.Lesley Logan Yeah, I love being a client because that means I can take my business to other places.Brad Crowell That's true. And also changes the way you think about it. SoLesley Logan Yeah. Well, why don't I jump it. (Brad: Yeah.) So um, I love that she, we brought up this topic that she said, which is like, why don't we speak up for ourselves with medical professionals. So her points on this were that because they were this white coat and because they have his medical degree. And because we're all raised like if you're not a doctor, like you're not you don't know everything and we implicitly trust them. And ...Brad Crowell And well, it's actually like a phrase. It's called white-coat silence.Lesley Logan Yeah, white-coat silence.Brad Crowell White-coat silence.Lesley Logan Yeah, so it just means that we implicitly trust doctors that they said so and this there's this power dynamic that they know more than me (Brad: Right.) about health. And it's like, yes, they did go to school more than you did about the body. But you also know your body.Brad Crowell Yeah, you know your body.Lesley Logan Yeah. And then also, what other things that come into place just people pleasing in general, raise your hand unless you're driving.Brad Crowell Well, hold on, let's talk about that I, you know, your body, I think that's good. That's, that's helpful. You don't necessarily know the science and the medicine, the medical behind your body. But when the idea here is, you know, your body. So if they're saying, well, then, you know, if they're making assumptions, for example of like, you know, this, that this and you'll be feeling this, that and the other and you're like, "Am I feeling this that and the other?" You can literally say, "I don't feel this that the other." So (Lesley: Yeah.) because you know, your body, right? (Lesley: Yeah.) So obviously, they know that the science behind it, but you can feel it.Lesley Logan I had a doctor like remember when I was when my stomach issues. And we had talked to the guy that I ended up working with, and he had said, you know, I want you to get, I want you to make sure you don't have any parasites. Because if it's parasitic, like, it doesn't matter what I do, we have to get rid of that anyways. (Brad: Right.) So I went to the doctor, with my insurance. And you know, we we in LA, we actually had great access to great medical care, we lived in UCLA Medical District, so we had awesome access. And the doctor looked at me, like I was a crazy person. And I was like, trying to tell him how I knew I felt and he was like, you know, all your blood, your blood results look good. Everything's in range. And I was like, "I don't feel good." And so I would like, I would like us just explore, like, like, look another time at this. And it wasn't until I said, "You know, I've lost 25 pounds in the last two years with the stomach stuff." And that, that got them. So fight for it like, (Brad: Yeah.) give them more things that that will advocate and explain why you don't feel right, even though everything might say you should be.Brad Crowell Yeah, I think I think that's really helpful. You know, because as you get frustrated, maybe you're actually revealing more information, like in your case, right there. You know, my, my mom had, I grew up with this idea that the doctor knows, but the doctor isn't necessarily right all the time. And I only knew this because my mom had her finger crushed in a garage door, like, flattened. And she was like, young, she was like in our early teens. She she went in and this doctor came in. And I don't even know what the full story was. But he said something. And my mom as a teenager was like, "What? That doesn't seem right." And I was young. And I was thinking like, "How did you have the wherewithal?" They'll be like, "No." And she told him, "You can't touch me. Leave me alone. You need to send somebody else in here." And she like, shut this guy down. And I don't think he needs to do. And she was just like, uh-uh I don't know what whatever it was that he said. She said, "Uh-uh. I don't agree with this." And that was the first time that I ever thought like, like, like, "Wow, I didn't, I didn't even realize you could do that. I thought the doctor just knew everything." SoLesley Logan No, you can you can, I mean, you can, you know, this next part, which I want to get into really quick before you go into your stuff, is the people pleasing part because it had been so easy for her. Depending on how she was even raised to just go, okay, he knows, you know, but people pleasing is like, so what the preventive that is like, if you don't come in prepared with questions to ask to that, then it's gonna be really easy for you to like, talk to the doctor. And then because you don't want to be a bother, a pest, like a net, like an annoying and annoying client. You might just like agree with what the doctor says and ...Brad Crowell Yeah and sure. I mean, you can, I mean, I think that most people will think while the doctors gotta be super busy. I don't want to bother them.Lesley Logan Do you remember the Seinfeld episode where Elaine was like the writing? What do you writing into my note? What do you writing into my chart? And like she became like really obsessed with it. And they're like she was like trying to steal her chart. And they're like writing like, I don't even know I don't remember if they're actually writing anything about her. But I think like we we have this fear that they're gonna write something about us like, like, we were like an annoying patient and like don't like I worked at a doctor's office everyone and just so you know, never once ever in any of the charts I ever had to work in. Did anyone write, this person calls too much, don't answer that. Like ... now if you it has happened to you, fuck that doctor move on, but like and report them but but that's not what people are writing. They're often just really busy and signs because I asked her and I said what are some signs and symptoms that you're people pleasing because I think some people don't even realize that they're a people pleaser. And so she said because it also can be like very, you know, specific and she this is very much like are you driving home? Wish you'd had asked a question that you didn't. And I remember we talked about this earlier with the recent visit with the doctor I'll never go back to and I really was trying to very hard not to leave without having asked a question. And all I remember thinking is in the cars like all the things I wish I just said to her, like you're not listening to me, which would be the opposite would be a little agonistic. But like, still, please go into your offices, of your providers with questions you want answered, so that you don't have to remember in the moment, and if you are a recovering people pleaser, you can just like focus on your list. (Brad: Yep.) What did you love that she said?Brad Crowell Well, first, I just wanted to say if you're hearing a bunch of crunching in the background, you're not crazy. Our dog has found a bone and he's just out of my reach.Lesley Logan Y'all. He hid that in the bed. I swear. We had no toys in this room.Brad Crowell No. He went outside. And he barked. And I open the door. And he came running back in with the toy. (Lesley: Yeah.) He went on to the backyard to get this bone. Yeah.Lesley Logan Yeah. Yeah. This is, this is August, and he has a toy box. And he's always looking for a specific toy. It's not just any toy. There are specific toys. He wants a specific time. SoBrad Crowell It's true. It is, it is amazing.Lesley Logan That was your intermission.Brad Crowell It was. Yes. Another thing that I'm laughing about. I just looked up on YouTube, Elaine and the Seinfeld thing? (Lesley: Yeah.) So we're gonna include a clip on YouTube videos. So you can enjoy that. So if you need a laugh right now, (Lesley: Oh, my God ...) feel free to check the show notes. ... So yeah, people pleasing. You know, it's, it's tough. It's definitely I think one one thing that would be helpful with with that is to write your questions down before you go in. Because, you know, it's really easy to freeze in the moment. I've done it, you know, like, "Oh, do you have any questions for me? Oh, no, I don't know. I don't remember. I don't even remember anything." Like, Lesley was like, "Hey, we need to take the dog to the vet, because he's got this bump." And I call the vet. And they're like, "Hey, what's wrong with them?" I'm like, "I can't remember. But I know I'm supposed to call you." So write your questions down. It'll help you in the moment. One thing that I loved, that Lindsay said, was, she talked about red flags, right, with health care providers, and you just kind of hinted at it when you were referencing your experience. And you can go back and listen to the actual interview to to hear the full extent of, you know, the frustration you had, but if you feel like the doctor is talking over you, or they're not listening to you, or you're saying something, and they keep changing the subject or they brush it aside, that's a that's a major red flag, right? If you leave the office with anxiety, that is a red flag. Okay. And, you know, I thought it was really interesting, because I think that ...Lesley Logan Oh, I left that office visit full of anxiety. Like I have just like, I was like ... (Brad: Not just anxiety, but anger.) Anger and I was like, even, like, sad about it, because I just wanted to have a fucking doctor here.Brad Crowell Yeah, yeah. Here here meaning in Vegas. (Lesley: Yeah.) Totally. Yeah. And I think I think thatLesley Logan I need to go back to my California doctor. And like, literally go, I need a blood panel. (Brad: Right.) What can you do? (Brad: Yeah.) That is allowed in the world that I live in a different state than you and she's like, "Here's what we can do. And I'll do that for you." I was like, "Let's just do that. Because that makes that answers my questions that I had."Brad Crowell Yeah. And it's frustrating, you know, but but I, I think that the other thing is, so first off, these things that we've been talking about are about, like, after the fact, after you've already met this doctor, right? And so that's important to know you can reevaluate just because you booked with a doctor and they gave you like a set of things to do doesn't mean you actually have to go like do them especially if you don't agree with that person. Right? Or they make you feel weird or you're stressed after you leave. You can absolutely find a different provider. And you can, you could say to them this I want to another provider maybe you don't like jade their opinion right away but at the end of the conversation after they've made their assessment you can say, this is what the other doctor said. But ...Lesley Logan ... get second opinions and different prices on curtains and (Brad: Yeah.) blinds and carpet and handyman ...Brad Crowell construction like building a patio. I mean painters.Lesley Logan How many people that we have come to the house about the air conditioner, six?Brad Crowell No. Three different companies. (Lesley: Three different companies.) Yeah. (Lesley: So you can shop ...) I had two electricians come by. Two electricians. (Lesley: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.) Because they because they were like, "Hey, we'll come to an evaluation. We want to see it." I was like, "Great." So I just started have an electricians stop by. (Lesley: Yeah.) Yeah.Lesley Logan So you know, treat treat your body like you treat your house.Brad Crowell Yeah. Or your car. But, or don't maybe because if you don't take care of your car, then don't do it like that. But here are some things you can look for in a health care provider before you meet them. So there are now like dating profiles, right. SoLesley Logan Oh, my God. ... ad we just saw the other night. ... you like maybe it was just me. I think I was binging on my own show. Anyways, there are ads, and it is like swiping like a tinder thing. (Brad: Oh, that's hilarious.) Oh, she's available tomorrow. Brad Crowell ... I was there for that one. (Lesley: I was like ...) Booked and actually, I think that we were just gonna mention your dad, your dad's experience with ZocDoc.Lesley Logan Yeah, that was actually the ad we saw. And my dad 70, y'all. And he is like, oh, yeah, just he's on ZocDoc. He loves his eye doctor. He's mentioned to me 70's here we can tell. But he has mentioned seven times how much he loves her.Brad Crowell Yeah. And then and then the other one is, when you do meet them? Again, this is kind of this is now you've met them? So, do you feel like you have, do you feel like you were able to build a relationship with the doctor? You know, did they treat you like, gotta check my my watch? Because I got to the patient in four minutes, three minutes, you know, were they, you know, like, were they basically buried in their notes the whole time? Or they actually engaging with you?Lesley Logan You know, I kind of bring (Brad: You know) up like, because we I talked about this in the episode that I keep bringing in medical people because it really your health can actually be the biggest obstacle to you being it till you see it. If your hormones are off, your mental health is off, your body's off. But if you're like, "I don't know, guys, I this is fine." I just want to say this goes to your vets too. Like maybe you're like, "I love all my doctors." (Brad: Totally does.) We were trying to find a vet here. And we've shopped several times, we've done several things. And with Bayon, he has an interesting issue and the doctors here were unwilling (Brad: Yeah.) to figure out how to perform surgery on him. Because we said the last time he had surgery, he had a seizure. And our vet that he had was with was able to immediately stop the anesthesia. He stopped seizing and she just quickly did the removals while he was still like lightly sedated. But we ...Brad Crowell ... prickly surgery. He's okay.Lesley Logan He's fine. So but we had to do another surgery on him. And while the vets here are fine, and they're absolutely properly trained, whenever we mentioned this allergy or this this event, they literally shut down, can't do anything.Brad Crowell Yeah, they just go, "Yeah, we were probably not the provider to help you with that." And it's like, "What? Okay. It's crazy."Lesley Logan So this goes to like, it's like, learning how to advocate for yourself. Maybe if it's easier for learning while advocating for your pet, or your house or your car. Try that. But but but you there's just different signs and things that you can look out for. And our vet in California, which yes we drove four an hour's take him to the vet. Six actually because I had traffic. But she did research to make sure she can perform a surgery without him having this thing and like, there, Brad Crowell There are people out there who can at the end of the night for before the vets before the surgery started. We were just there last week. So before the surgery started, she came out into the lobby, she met with us and she said, Hey, I was thinking about this last night. And I was like, What? You you spent the time to think about tomorrow's surgery before you came in and did I mean, you know, she's probably done this stuff 1000 times, you know, but she specifically read our dog's chart and remembered all the things and then thought about it again. And when she said that to me, I was like, you're amazing. Lesley Logan And when she has her own building, we will give her a shout out she can't la people cannot take any more patients right now. So we will give you all of her information when she's rebuilding, and we will happily send all the dogs to her because she's amazing. Brad Crowell Yeah. Well, anyway, so So we're talking about when you're meeting your provider? Do you feel like they treated you like a human? Did they take the time to get to know you? And then finally, when you leave the office? What were you confident in the next steps? Was it clear? Was it easy to understand? Right, these are things to look for in a health care provider. So first is check out their dating profile second is there you know, when you meet them, do you feel like they got to know you and and third? You know, did you leave the office understanding the straightforward next steps. So yeah. Alright, so finally, let's talk about those be it action items, what bold, executable intrinsic or targeted action items. Can we take away from your convo with Lindsay Moore? Well, so specifically, when it comes to being your own healthcare advocate, she said, You really need to adopt a client mindset, right? So not a patient mindset, but a client mindset. So you are the client. They are providing a service to you, and how can you collaborate with them to have the best possible experience? So I thought that was just so interesting, because we were talking about it already with all the other providers you would ever bring into your home. But let's just talk about an exterminator. Right? If an exterminator has come into your property and you've dogs in the backyard, clearly you're going to they're going to say hey, would you be so Okay as to take the dogs in the house and lock the door. Yeah, of course, no problem, I'm going to collaborate with my exterminator so that he can do the job or she can do the job properly. Like when we and that just seems normal, that doesn't even, there's nothing weird about that, that's an obvious thing to do. But somehow that gets lost when we are talking with a doctor, you know, in the same way, you are in a position, you are a client, you have 100%, you have options to go to another provider. Right? And you they need to you you can collaborate with them about your health. So I thought it was really interesting to adopt a client mindset. Lesley Logan Yeah. And like, if you're like, I don't know about that, you know, like, maybe Brad's example is like I live in apartment, I don't know, think about the places you do shop and the ones you don't, and why you don't shop at those places. Because you have specific reasons, a specific reason that you don't eat at a certain place. That's been a client that's been a customer, it's been a consumer. So take that as like your roadmap. Brad Crowell Yep, totally. What about you? Lesley Logan Okay, so here are the list of questions you need to write down. And if you're driving, then you need to, you know, become amazing at memorizing Here we go. One of the best ways you can advocate yourself is to listen to the postgame. This is when you're driving home in your car. How are you feeling? Do you feel anxious? Do you feel angry? Do ask? Did you ask all the questions? So like even do you feel things in your body? Like do you feel better walking out than you? Did? Like walked in? Do you feel the same? I feel the same I'm gonna go that's positive. But if you feel worse, that's and it wasn't like Bad News Bears in there you probably. But with diagnosis, like there are something to like pay attention to. And and then to that, she said, ask yourself, What's going on your body? What needs to change moving forward? Are you comfortable seeing that doctor? Again? This is a big question. Are you comfortable seeing that doctor again? You don't have to have a reason. So this episode hasn't come out yet. But I want you and Dr. Bender, second episode on our show comes out. I want you to be really careful when you think about trying to reason with things. She has a whole segment on humans, we want to have a reason why something feels a certain way, which actually just causes more stress. So if you if I asked you, if anyone asked you are you comfortable seeing that person again? And you don't have an immediate? Yeah. And there's like a hesitancy in there. Then something in your subconscious is wondering what like wondering something and it is worth evaluating. And it might not even be the doctor. It could be the assistance. It could be the assistance that they have. It could be the front desk person it could be like column. So that's just to me like after. To me, that final question is one of the most important that you could ask yourself. And I really hope that this whole entire episode has you thinking about your health in a different way thinking about your providers that are on your team. This is your team, you guys, do you see like people who are out there like, what what you were like would aspire to these actors do not they want to be an actor, but like these people who are celebrities of some kind, when you see them and you see the life that they're living, they have a team, right? You have a team, maybe you don't have like executive assistant, maybe you don't have you know, a an accountant or, or like a social media person, but your doctors are on your team, your dogs that are on your team, your vets are on your team, if your team is not allowing you to show up and be the best version of yourself and be it till you see it, then you think of like a football team. If your quarterback is slacking, you're not gonna win this game. The other team has to suck worse than your quarterback for you to win. So, so it's so so important that you evaluate who's on your team, and make sure that they're all part of what your goals are. And for that, anything to add, Brad? Brad Crowell No, I mean, you know, the I think that the biggest thing I just keep thinking about your recent visit. The drive home was when you were very frustrated. And that was an that was very easy. Like, Okay, moving on, you know, and for me, it's funny because we were supposed to see the same doctor, and she had some, you know, patient prior to us that like took way more time than she expected. And so we ended up seeing her partner, and it was you did you ended up seeing her partner. It was a guy and he was super cool, super chill. I was like wow, this guy's really, like I felt I left feeling like, we're on the right path. And then you ended up seeing her and you were like, I can't go back to see this personLesley Logan And just for... just for because I don't want to hear it. I literally went seeking a woman. So it's not me not not liking a woman over a man, I specifically want a female doctor, I'm still going to look for one. Brad Crowell I don't think anyone was assuming that's fine to clarify that. Lesley Logan I just want to make sure because, you know, I just like I really am looking for that. And I'm going to keep looking. But in the meantime, I advocate for myself with my old provider, I'm getting, I'm getting the needs that I need it done. So I can move forward. But, you know, I just I really do hope that these experts in all these areas are helping you see that, like, it's not just about having goals and a vision board, y'all. Like your body is the thing that goes with you everywhere. Hope you're well I guess he's, what do you call this stuff? Virtual reality. (Brad: VR, okay, it's what the kids are doing.) What the kids are doing no but adults are doing it too. So that is the only time you're living in reality that is not with your body, but I really do. I'm like resistant to change on that. But I just really want you to think of your health as part of being it till you see it. And until next time, haha just kidding. I'm Lesley Logan. And I'm Brad Crowell.

How are you? Um, we had so much amazing feedback from a recent episode with Jessica Valant about advocating for your health, but I wanted to bring in an actual health advocate. And this person is a dear friend of mine, you'll hear why. And you might be wondering like, "Lesley, why are we talking about this? Like, how's this work?" And I can't wait for you to get to the part of the episode where it really becomes crystal clear why we're talking about this, but just in case you're like, "I don't know, should I, should I keep going, I wish I just like, listen, the next thing." I need you to hear me out. You are not just a compartmented person where you can go, "I'm gonna ignore what's happening over there. And I'm just gonna go over here, and I'm gonna like zero in on this thing. And I'm just going to work on this goal that I have over here. And I'm ignore this thing." You can't do that especially when it's your health. It's a little easier if you don't like your neighbor, you can shut the door. You can like refocus your thoughts, probably. But when it comes to your health, if your health is not at an optimal level for you, it is going to affect your ability to be it till you see it. We've talked about that with different guests, like Dr. Bender, and then we had on Jenn Pike, where they talked about the different hormone levels and the different things that were going on with your health that could actually affect you showing up fully in this day as who you want to be in that moment, right. And so, it is important for me to give you tools to help you be it till you see it, but they can't always just be strategy. They can't just be mindset. They have to sometimes be things that are foundational to you, being more of who you are. And that is making sure that you advocate for your health, for yourself and as the ultimate form of self care. So without further ado, Lindsay Moore, is our guest, and I can't wait for you to listen to this episode. So dive in real quick. She lives in a really beautiful, amazing space and like a lot of beautiful, amazing spaces. The internet is often a little wonky, so I apologize, there might be a couple of glitches and there that we had. But for the most part, I was able to capture all of the best audio for you. And I think you'll you'll get that if you are somebody watches on our YouTube channel, we'll just have a couple of clips due to the those internet things. So just a heads up on this episode. It is a little bit unique, but I promise you, the words are amazing. The tips are unbelievable. And you are going to want to share this with a friend, a family member or someone in your life who is needing to find ways to take care of themselves, especially in the most like sometimes, to me the most essential meetings that they might have about their health. So here is Lindsay.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.Hey, Be It listener. I'm, I'm actually just like, I'm kind of giddy right now. Normally, I don't do an interview or call before 9am Pacific time. But I, today's guest is someone who has seen me before 9am Pacific time. So I'm really excited. I've known this woman for many, many years. And it's been incredible to watch her life evolve, and transform. And so now Lindsay Moore is our guest this week, and if you were ever in my life before, you may have got an email from Lindsay and this is my old executive assistant. She is doing wonderful things in this world. Lindsay, will you tell everyone who you are and what you're doing now?Lindsay Moore Sure. Thank you for the amazing intro Les. Yep. So I'm Lindsay Moore. I am a doula and a patient advocacy consultant, which basically is a fancy way of saying that I work with both individuals, families, as well as providers to really help people foster great communication. It's work that I got into both as a birth doula and through working in hospice, setting with people as they transitioned out as well. And really seeing things all across the spectrum. It's become truly my passion and my mission to help empower people towards getting the best health care that they possibly can.Lesley Logan Yeah, I mean, your your name came up and the work you do came up in an episode we did with Jessica Valant. And so I was like, "Oh, my God, I have to have just have her on the show." And I, I know we talked a lot about Jessica's, like about being an advocate for yourself. And Jessica's episodes, y'all can go back and listen, that we'll link in the show notes. But I was wondering, like, because you've worked on it for on both sides, like I know, you do talks with actual medical professionals and providers, and then also for patients. What is the difference that you are seeing? And like, I guess it's a really broad question, but like, how does how does like if a patient is advocating for themselves, help the relationship between them and their doctor?Lindsay Moore Here's the great news. The doctors got into this because they want to help people, right? Nobody goes to school for that long, like just for the money. They just don't.Lesley Logan Well, and also but I keep hearing is that there isn't. Because there's so much student loans, but I don't know.Lindsay Moore Another interesting thing is having also worked with a healthcare technology company who works very closely with insurance providers. They're also interested in getting clients the best care possible. It's from a different angle. Right. But everybody involved here are truly wants this to happen, right? The doctors want you to ask questions, they want to help get you the care that you need, they are dealing with other pressures, right? Insurance companies may not be, you know, the most heart forward and entity involved in this, but they also, generally speaking, have a invested interest in getting you the best care possible. Unfortunately, it is up to us as individuals to be the catalyst for that, it's up to us to ask those questions and to to move the conversation forward. If we don't speak up, no one else is gonna be advocating for us as hard as we are going to be advocating for ourselves.Lesley Logan Right. And then so, so then I guess the big question is like, why do we inherently not like, I feel like, and maybe that's like, the human condition. But, you know, we can talk beyond healthcare as well. But like, if women and people in general, don't take like it's under, they don't take care of themselves. They are not taking the care of themselves to say, "Hey, I feel this way. I don't feel seen and heard in this moment." Like, what like, if we don't do that, and then we can't get the part where the the catalyst to go. So what is it do you think, or what is one of the things that you think keeps people from advocating from them, for themselves?Lindsay Moore If we start out with just the healthcare piece, it really is specifically this idea of there's a term for it called white coat silence. But it's it's a power dynamic, right? We are socialized to believe that this person has my best interests at heart, they know way more than me, they're the expert, they're gonna let me know what needs to happen. They're gonna let me know what care I should be receiving. So there's just inherent belief that there's a power dynamic. That's a big part of it. I think that keeps us from speaking up. The other piece, I think, is a real sense of people pleasing, right, as certainly a recovering people pleaser myself. I don't want to be seen as the squeaky wheel, I don't want to be seen as causing trouble or questioning or, you know, causing problems for somebody who seems very busy. (Lesley: Yeah) So I think there's a couple different factors at play, broadly speaking.Lesley Logan Yeah. So that's interesting, because it's like, the doctors do care. And they do want to help. And we think that they care so much that they'll just tell us that something's wrong. And they're over here going, "No, I care when you tell me something's wrong."Lindsay Moore Right. And I think there's also a thing where when you're an expert at something, you start hearing one thing, and you say, "Oh, I've seen this a million times. I know what this is." They might be missing a nuance about your situation, your symptoms, your body, you are truly the expert on your own body. And so approaching those conversations as as a collaborator, and I think changing the language that we use is really important, right? So as you know, we've been shifting towards going from calling patients and doctors into providers and clients, if you're the client, and you have a client mindset. You know, as you mentioned in the episode with Jessica, as well, you are paying for this in some capacity, you are paying for this service, and they're providing that service to you. So that's a big way to go into it. And if you start looking at it as, "Hey, we are collaborating together, we are teammates in my health." That's a huge way to reduce some of those barriers to speaking up for yourself, even if you're worried about the people pleasing aspect.Lesley Logan Yeah. Yeah, I think it is interesting as you bring up people pleasing, and like, we don't want to be the person who's bothering someone. Oh my God, they're so busy. We do this, not just what the doctor did with the people in our life. And I'm like, these are stories, we're telling ourselves that are really keeping us from everything that we're wanting to have not just our health, but like other things, you know what I mean? Like ...Lindsay Moore At work? Yeah, any of our goals, those relationships, I mean, you really can take the skill set and expand it way out.Lesley Logan Yeah, so um, so you you mentioned so with, some people might not call themselves a people pleaser. Do you have I mean, this might not be in your scope? But like, do you have signs and symptoms that you are so that maybe someone who's like ... But like in a doctor's office specifically or in our healthcare. Like, what are some, what are some signs of people pleasing?Lindsay Moore Sure. So here's something that sometimes happens to me, even as somebody who does this for a living. In the office, they might say, "Hey, do you have any questions?" And in that moment, I don't. But on the drive home, I think, "Oh, man, I really wish I'd mentioned this thing, or I really wish I'd asked that question or, oh, I feel kind of uncomfortable. I don't really want to go back. I don't feel like I was super listened to." If you're doing a post game and not happy with your experience. It's worth reflecting on, is that the right provider for you? It's also worth reflecting on, what's on me, what's on me to speak up and what's on me to sort of, you know, pump my confidence up ahead of time, and that's part of it. Right? We need to also believe that we deserve to have that care that we deserve to be listened to that we are an equal with our doctor. But I think that's, for me, that's just a small sign that you might want to take a look at to say, hey, is this something even if I don't identify as a people pleaser? Is this maybe an aspect of that that I'm struggling with right now?Lesley Logan What an interesting, I like that a lot because I do think that a lot of people could probably have resonate a little bit with that, like, you're like, you, you end up in the car afterwards like, oh, this things and then it transforms and transcends into everything else, you're doing it. Anyways, but like, I think that is something y'all that's the Be It action item earlier, you can actually think about and if that is true, what is on you. And I liked that a lot, because it's so easy to blame the providers, or, you know, or doctors. You're not yet using that word, y'all like because it's like, oh, they didn't listen to me. They didn't do this. It's like, okay, what part of it did I have, like, in my recent experience, I was trying to, I was like, "I got my Lindsay training in my head. I'm ready to go. I've got my questions like, I'm ready to go." And like, every question I asked she, like, just, it's not like, and I was actually getting really angry. Because I was like, she's not even listening to me. And so then I would ask, other questions or other follow up questions do that. And I just became more and more frustrated with the whole situation, and which is probably better than like, sitting going, "Oh, I'm good. Everything's fine." I was just like, "No, this isn't fine. This is the wrong provider for me." I literally came prepared. And I did all the things. And I asked and I asked follow up questions. And I think that is a better scenario to figure it out that someone is not a provider for you, not the right provider for you, then a post like the post game and knocking your answers and having to start all over again.100% because you know that you've done your homework. Right. You know that you did your part you showed up. And if it's still not working despite your best efforts. Yeah, it's absolutely the right time to look at is this provider I want to continue a relationship with.Lindsay Moore I have a seven month old son. And unfortunately, I recently had to fire a pediatrician who was a super nice guy. But every time I would come in and ask him a question, he would start his answer by saying, "Well, here's what I tell my daughter. Here's what I tell my daughter." And even if I went and asked follow up questions back, that was still the the framework from which he was responding. And finally, I had to say to him, "I'm not your daughter. I'm your collaborator in my son's health, and we need to start from there." The other thing that I love that you mentioned is that you got angry. I think particularly as women a lot of us are socialized that angers not an okay emotion to express particularly in any kind of power dynamic. But anger is such a crucial clue for us that boundaries are getting crossed, right. So it's a really great clue that something's off. And so to your point, that's a great moment to say, "Well, okay, well why is this off?" Maybe that's maybe that's the postgame question, "Why am I feeling angry?" If you're not sure why. But anger is such important clue within our bodies to say something's not right, I want to investigate what that is.Lesley Logan So that's so that's great. So we have the if you if you leave the doctor's office, and you are having these postgame analysis where you're like, "I should have asked that. I could ask that." Like, that's a sign that you're maybe people pleasing in this situation, or you don't have the best provider is to make you feel comfortable and sane to say something. But also, maybe you should prepare. And then on the flip side, if you had prepared, like in my case, and then you're finding yourself frustrated, angry, it's a sign that you're with the wrong provider, do you have other signs that people can reflect on in themselves that may or may, that may show that they are not necessarily collaborating with their provider in a way that they could or that they might need to reflect on and pursue a different provider in their situation?Lindsay Moore I would say, just some kind of high level behaviors that you might want to start noticing next time you're at your provider's office? Do they cut you off? Do they interrupt you? Right. Are they able to reflect back? What you shared? And have it feel accurate for you? Are they making eye contact? Or are they you know, are they charting, are they they're rarely on their phone? But do you feel that they are making eye contact and truly listening to you. And if those really basic tenets of good communication aren't there. That's red flag number one for me. So let's establish that we're just speaking to each other as humans. And just generally speaking, kind of respectfully. For me, also, I think it's really important that when you leave that doctor's office, even if you're not angry, do you feel more or less anxious than when you went in, because we don't want our providers to just sugarcoat things or just, you know, try to make us feel better unnecessarily. But at the same time, they should be providing some sense of direction, or way forward of what the next step might be. Even if it's just let's revisit this in three months. Right.Lesley Logan This is so fascinating, because all of these things I feel like are great for in a relationship with any human.Lindsay Moore Yeah. Free couples therapy on the pod today, guys.Lesley Logan You know what I mean? Like, with friends, with, with partners, with family, with bosses, with workplaces, like, these are, y'all should write these questions down, because like, these are really great for evaluating any situation, you're with people. I'm wondering, I'm wondering, as you because you mentioned this, and forgive me if it's too personal, but like, it's since you are going to be looking for new pediatrician, like, what are some things that you do, as someone who has so much knowledge in this realm and has good practice in it? For advocating, what are the things that you are looking for when you go to find a provider for yourself?Lindsay Moore Here's the great thing. Something that is a great tool that I found for myself is that if I go into onto my insurance carriers website, and I use my find a provider tool, most of the providers have little bios, right, even if they're just short blurbs, that say not just where I went to school and what I specialize in. But sometimes now they even say, you know, a short value statement, or sometimes you can kind of glean from the resume, maybe what interests they might have, you know, was it a mental health care facility? Was it working with youth? Was it you know, specializing in trauma? There's lots of things, I think, when you start reading between the lines, that for me, it also depends, of course, on what type of provider I'm looking for. But for me, I'm looking for somebody that is dialed into more of a holistic approach. I want people that understand, you know, mental and emotional health is intrinsically tied to our physical health and should be treated as just as important. So those are the things that I'm trying to look for. I think doing a little bit of research ahead of time is great, it's easy to fall down a rabbit hole. So we had a temporate it , we only have so many hours in the day. But I think it also depends, again, on what type of provider you're looking for. For me personally, I just do feel a little bit more comfortable with another woman in most cases. I think for not to not to overly generalize here. But I think a lot of women, maybe some of that inherent sense of power disparity can be lessened. If you're speaking with another woman, maybe more of a sense of a peer relationship, certainly not the case for everyone on either side of the coin. For me, that's something that I found personally to be true.Lesley Logan Yeah. Well, I love this. Like, it's like you basically are just going back to dating because it's amazing, but like you're looking at the data profile of your provider. (Lindsay: Totally) And, and so looking at the information you can glean and then using that, to try them out, I think especially in healthcare, it can be really interesting. Like they're like, "This is your doctor." And I'm like, "Is it? I haven't met them yet? I don't know. Do I want this person. I gotta go find out." So I think that is, and I think that could be part of that like, even like recovering people pleaser or someone who like lends that way. It's like, okay, well, this is the person I have to go to. And so so thank you for sharing that I had no idea that they're now putting like values out there. That's wonderful, if they can, but I think it's similar thing when you're looking for best friends, places to work at, people to date. It's like, what are the things that I need? What are like the things that I value higher on the list when doing this out? And like you had mentioned like, it's you kind of would like it to be more of a female friend or ... for what you prefer. I like I think, going back to what you said, like what is our ownership in that for advocating for ourselves? It's like, knowing kind of the things are like, these are less of a deal breaker, more of a deal breaker for me when I'm looking at and trying to narrow things down. Is that like, does that make sense?Lindsay Moore Oh, 100% 100%. I love the correlation with, you know, looking through the dating profile of your provider, because that really is what we had the opportunity to do, particularly now that, you know, since pandemic, telehealth is so much more accessible for a lot of providers in ways that it wasn't even a couple years ago, you know, it used to be a huge production to have to like find childcare, find transportation, go into the office, sometimes you have to wait several weeks to get an appointment. Now, it is so much easier to truly date your providers before you really have to settle on one, you know, you can have a telehealth consultation and test it out to see how you feel about it before you really commit to that in office. That's it. And I think that's a great option for a lot of people.Lesley Logan I love that. My, y'all dad is 70. And he was like, he's like, "Oh, yeah, I found my doctor." Like, oh, he's like, "Yeah, he's ZocDoc." Like, he just used, he (Lindsay: Yeah) just used an app. And he's like, "Oh, you yeah. I have a phone meeting with them." And it's like, "You do?" So I think what's really cool is that more and more people of all ages are, are finding that more accessible as well. I want to go, I want to then, I want to talk a little bit about like, what have you seen, if anything or what do you know about if people don't advocate for themselves in their healthcare, like how have you seen that affect them and what they're, they're likely their livelihood is.Lindsay Moore There's actually a ton of data on this, specifically when it comes to hospital stays something that I was just going over recently, when you look at people that have to stay in the hospital for 30 days or more. And then what happens in the 30 days after they leave, I mean, people that are not advocating for themselves that do not also have allies, whether that's a partner or a family member or caregiver, they are more likely to have falls, there's more likely to be issues with medication that's given to them, you know, errors in the medication, they're more likely to end up back in the hospital. That's just one specific example. But it really applies more generally, where if you're not advocating for yourself, if you are just accepting the care that you were being offered, as opposed to the care that you are asking for or collaborating with your provider on. Your health is going to suffer, right, you're going to miss things. Because you do need that providers expertise, that is what they bring to the table. What you bring to the table is your expertise on your own body, but they do have a huge breadth of knowledge and experience. Something that might seem sort of insignificant to you, might be a real red flag for them. So serious conditions that could be very easily treated if they're caught early, if they go unnoticed, or if you're not speaking up about it because it doesn't seem like the biggest deal to you or you don't want to cause problems or it's embarrassing, right. All of a sudden, something that could be super treatable in the early stages can be much more serious, if it's left longer until it becomes the biggest thing in the room.Lesley Logan That is so interesting. I am happy, I'm glad to hear that there's like data on that information, especially people with long stays because I think some people need to know that like, this isn't just like a thought that we're just like taking on and like applying to the whole rest of our lives. It is there's you know, evidence that shows that if you aren't advocating for yourself, your health suffers, which means, you know, life can end sooner or that it can keep you from being able to do things I know for myself if I am sick, nothing that's creative and getting done. Like I'm not a nice person. And then I don't like who I am. So ...Lindsay Moore And then it just snowballs from there. Yeah.Lesley Logan Yeah. So when I'm sick and I don't like who I am, I'm stuck with myself in a room. So so I mean ...Lindsay Moore The quality of life, right? That's what you're describing. It's your quality of life is impacted, even if your actual health is able to recover. What time are you losing, in terms of the quality, of it in terms of your enjoyment, in terms of what goals you're able to accomplish? It suffers.Lesley Logan Yeah, and that's like, I mean, that's well, that's the whole reason why I want to talk to you. It's like if our, I have a lot of people who reach out to me and they're like, "Oh my gosh, I have all these ideas, but I've got like these things going on." And it's always health related. It's or if it's not their health, it's someone in their lives health. And so I think it can be really easy for us to focus only on like, okay, this is the way to manifest or this is the way to interview or this is the way this is the strategy for this email thing to make this work. But like, if your health is not at a place of optimal level, none of that stuff matters, you're not going to get it done. And if someone in your life who you care about you live with, if their health is not optimal, it's going to affect those things as well. So I think we, we tend to, like you mentioned in the, a moment ago, like something that's innocuous to us, well, it might not actually be, as you mentioned, and that and like, because we're like, we can be so focused on like, I got to do this thing, because that's the goal I had for myself when, when we forget that we're a whole person, and we are health as part of that.Lindsay Moore Yeah, and it truly is the bedrock of self care, like literally self care, right? Make sure that that foundation is solid, so that you're able to go and thrive and go after those goals, and enjoy your life as much as possible. And I think, you know, particularly for women, we often fall into the role of caretaker. I think there's a balance between trying to set our own boundaries when possible. And also, you know, that's a wonderful opportunity to help advocate, it's going to make that person's life better. It's gonna make your life better.Lesley Logan Yeah, oh, oh, that's so good. I mean, y'all don't we all want to have better quality of life and like, and, and it is not so simple as just advocating for yourself, but it is like ... (Lindsay: It's a start, though.) It's the start. And if this is a part where you find yourself or like your family struggling, then that's the work to be done right now, as opposed to, like, you know, the next lead magnet or. You know what I mean?Lindsay Moore And listen, I think there's also, I know, for me, oftentimes, it can be really easy to just want to bury myself in work or just trying to go after the next dream. And sometimes it's a way that we cover up dealing with something that because let's be honest, sometimes dealing with health issues, it's scary. It's scary. We don't always want to look at things we might not want to speak up also not because we don't feel that we're good enough, but because we're afraid that we know it's serious. And that's tough, man, that's that's the adult shit.Lesley Logan Oh, that is so true. And it's like, I mean, like, I it's not, y'all, I definitely have found myself going, "I'm actually avoiding going to figure out what this is."Lindsay Moore Totally, I have to. Like, "I don't want to deal with this. I don't have time for this."Lesley Logan Yeah. Because I like I don't want to deal with the emotions that's going to be around that information.Lindsay Moore For sure. You know what I think also, you know, as we start as we get older, and if you're somebody that is taking care of your parents, too, I know that that can also be a struggle of trying to advocate for your parents, because that's a switch and dynamic. And that's something I think we luckily, like newer generations are changing the relationship around that. But I think particularly for people in our parents generation, that is a struggle, right, like, I would rather just ostrich and not know, and maybe it'll get better, and maybe it'll be fine versus having to face the scary questions.Lesley Logan Yeah, yeah, that's, um, that is, I think, also the way you call it, the white coat situation, (Lindsay: White coat silence. Yeah.) white coat silence. I feel like with our, with my parents, and like, even above them, that's definitely like the doctor said this. And like that is ...Lindsay Moore Yeah. (Lesley: And it's like ...) God himself came down and said.Lesley Logan Yeah. Yeah. And like, I think, you know, for our generation, like, there's absolutely a difference. And like, we can see that and if you're, if you're raised that way, like this whole conversation could be like, yeah, guys, this is really thanks for sharing that. But this is really hard for me. Absolutely. Or you can also be like, that doesn't make any sense. And we're like this dark generation where I hope that people younger than us are saying this is like, it's quite normal. Like, I mean, imagine the world where you grew up. And it is a client provider relationship versus like, having to retrain yourself into that mentality. And I think for the providers as well.Lindsay Moore For sure, and that's something that even as young as my son is, and I realize he's not, you know, fully registering what's going on, but to me, it's something that's on my mind every time that we do have to go to the pediatrician, right? How can I model for him the type of communication that we should be having? You know, just how are we approaching a visit? Right. We're not going to, we don't need to be fearful. We do need to ask our questions. We do need to make sure that, you know, we're having a good relationship with this person. They're here to help us and we got to pull our own weight.Lesley Logan Well, Lindsay, you've really brought us like, we're advocating for ourselves, then we're modeling for the children or people around us and we're (Lindsay: Yeah ...) their parents.Lindsay Moore ... do it. Just do it for the children.Lesley Logan Yeah. That's like, that's like the things I I think about all things I'm like, "Okay, this might not affect me, but it's gonna affect the people after me. So I should be kinder." ... thing over here. Wouldn't it be nice if we all felt that way? But um, you know, I feel so I feel like we we've only we touch the surface, and we have some great things in here. But I might like the thing that it keeps coming to this whole thing. As we mentioned earlier, it's quality of life. And it's like, if we can advocate for ourselves, and it's very unique and sometimes uncomfortable situation, but it's so personal, it will, it's a muscle that will affect the rest of your life. And as you, as you mentioned in the study, when you don't do it, it affects the quality of your life.Lindsay Moore Absolutely. And I think we can even take these skills and apply them to our businesses, as he said, like to our personal relationships, or friendships, just approaching any conversation that you have the slightest whiff of anxiety about or just questions about. And if you can, sort of, even if it's just five minutes in the car on the way there, take your time to say, "Okay, what do I want out of this situation? What do I need out of this conversation? How am I going to approach this? What's the most proactive, positive collaborative way that I can have this difficult conversation?" And I think you're really going to start to see other areas of your life start to skyrocket as well.Lesley Logan Beautiful, I love this all so much. Thank you, Lindsay. We're gonna take a brief break and then find out where people can learn more from you. Lindsay, where do you hang out? Do you coach people on this? We have a course on profitablepilates.com, y'all. That she was so amazing at teaching all of our Agency members how to, how to ... themselves, but how to teach their clients, how to advocate for themselves. Is there anything else that people can find resources with you?Lindsay Moore Yeah, of course, I would head over to my website, which is helloharmonia.com. I'm also on Instagram @helloharmonia and my personal account @lindsaycmoore. That's the best way to connect with me. As far as services, yeah, I've got a great course on Profitable Pilates that I'd love for people to check out if you're interested in learning more about advocating for yourself and others. I also do private client work, consulting, and workshops. So please go ahead and check that out on my website and get in touch if you have any questions.Lesley Logan Amazing. Amazing. Okay, before I let you go, BE IT action items people can take. I know you gave people a lot of calls to action. But any thing that is bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it.Lindsay Moore For sure. I'd say listen to your postgame. How are you feeling? Do you feel anxious? Do you feel angry? What's going on in your body? What's that telling you about what you need to change moving forward? I'd also say adopt your client mindset. You are the client, they are providing you a service. And how can you collaborate with them to have the best experience possible.Lesley Logan Beautiful, those are easily well not easily. But you can write those down. And you can actually take action with those things in your next visit with your providers. Y'all, I hope that you understand that I can give you all the tools and the entire world to do anything you want to do. But if you don't take care of you, and you're not advocating for you, it they're all just tools in a toolbox, they're not going to actually have the effect that when you are like really owning taking ownership of yourself and making sure that you're feeling seen and heard in your health care. It all goes together. We're not compartment to people. So Lindsay, thank you so much for helping us understand that, for giving these amazing tools. You are a wonderful human being doing massive things in this world. And I'm just so grateful that I get to know you in my life.Lindsay Moore Thank you so much for having me. It was so nice to chat with you.Lesley Logan All right, everyone. How are you going to use these in your life? Are you gonna use these BE ITaction items? When is your next appointment? No, I'm kidding, you're not telling me that. But but please make sure you take these notes and put them in your calendar as a reminder before your next appointment. And share this this episode with a friend. Some of you are like, I don't know how to do that on the, on like the interwebs.

Thank you COVID. (Lesley: I know. It's so crazy.) And we are really really, really excited to be getting back to one of the places in this world that we are just the most passionate about. I know you've heard me talk about it 100 times but truly, it's one of my favorite places to be on this planet.Lesley Logan It's so magical. We're going a week ahead of time (Brad: Yeah.) and I'm not sad that our flight out is not as early as we had planned because we get a few more days ...Brad Crowell It's gonna be amazing to be back there and as you probably already know, I spent a month there earlier this year with Lesley's dad. The two of us went through all 12 bedrooms, we you know figured out what needs to be looked at, adjusted and it was two years of upkeep that you know we were able to like do this great construction on the property, did amazing landscaping and gardening, our place is looking really fantastic. In fact, that just got pictures of our new banana trees that we planted and they're already like, you know, a third again, as tall. It's only been a couple of months. It's crazy to see them grow. You're gonna love hanging with us there. So we hope you come join us.Lesley Logan Yeah. Because you know what, like, shared experiences are really what makes like life so amazing and interesting. And I had some people ask me on a call, like, "What else should I do when I'm there?" And I'm like, "Yeah, because once you're all the way over there, you may as well bop around." (Brad: Yeah.) And we still might, we haven't actually planned our extra days. But you can go to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bali. I mean, like, they're like, wherever (Brad: Yeah.) you in Southeast Asia have so much fun. So anyways, we hope you join us. And ...Brad Crowell To do so just go to lesleylogan.co/retreat.Lesley Logan Thanks for remembering that. I was like, "Ah what is that?" Anyways, it is Mini week loves. (Brad and Lesley laughs) (Brad: Yeah.) Okay.Brad Crowell But first, Lesley, (Lesley: Oh) we had an audience question respond to. Yeah. (Lesley: We do.) That question was, okay. This is personal. So, what finally made you, Lesley, comfortable enough to share your story about all the health challenges that you had experienced literally starting in college? And then it took, what, 10 years before you were willing to actually be open about all those challenges? (Lesley: Yeah.) Yeah. This is a really great question. This is a very personal question. But ...Lesley Logan I know, I feel like I'm more comfortable sharing the health stories rather than why I'm more comfortable sharing them.Brad Crowell Well, it was ... it's kind of perfect timing for this episode, (Lesley: Yeah.) because of the sensitive topics you were discussing in the interview with Jessica.Lesley Logan You know, I think it's a combination of things. But I'll tell you what, for the for the stomach stuff, I didn't share them for a long time until like, I would like really wait till I had to share them. And then it was like, "Why aren't you eating at this restaurant?" And living in LA and losing as much weight as I lost, I was very aware that people thought I had an eating disorder. And I didn't, I would rather them know that I had like, diarrhea every morning. But I think that I, eating disorder, like I just felt like that was because because I wanted them to know the truth. And I could feel the side eyes and then glances and then the interesting comments. And so I thought a) well, there's probably a lot of people who are like me, and then everybody's treating them the same way as I'm being treated. So I may as well share. And then the other thing was is that my clients were sharing things about themselves that are personal because it was affecting their practice. And I was and then they were going you know, they were acting like I didn't understand or they thought I wouldn't understand. And the truth was I did understand and I just didn't tell them that so I started to realize that my not sharing my stories was actually making people think the wrong thing about themselves, about who I was, about my priorities. And so it just became easier to share than not share and then what also happens when you share to the right people obviously I didn't like go tell a random person I told people as close to so you know if you're seeing yourself in the story like be really careful make sure we have we have a podcast interview coming up with Elle Russ about boundaries but like make sure that you tell someone you know is going to be understanding, don't go tell the person is always a Debbie Downer always sees the negative things and things go tell someone who like really does. It's usually the positive Polly. And ...Brad Crowell I think this I think what didn't you write a series of blog posts (Lesley: Aha.) about your gut journey, your gut health journey. (Lesley: Good memory. I forgot that.) For those of you who are wondering what we're talking about, and what story you know what when she started to share, you can find them on the blog at onlinepilatesclasses.com.Lesley Logan Yeah, I forgot that we weren't that. I ended up ...Brad Crowell It was like four. I think four or six ... posts, I mean.Lesley Logan Those posts came about after we finally got answers. And so that (Brad: That's ...) also, so I would so if you're trying to do the same thing, first, open up to people that you feel like you can trust with your story, and that aren't going to (Brad: Judge you.) like judge you or shove it ... all everyone feels like that. And what you heard in Jessica's podcasts is just because it's common doesn't mean it's normal. So I told some people and then because those people because I trust those people when those people when the right people to tell they actually people in their network to help me. And then I got help. And once I had answers, then I felt really comfortable sharing the story. Because I wasn't sharing from place up "I need answers". I was sharing place, "I'm on my healing journey". And I think that for me that made the most comfortable to (Brad: Yeah.) share with random people, to write a blog that anyone could read.Brad Crowell Also, there's a little bit of hope when you feel like (Lesley: Yeah.) you have a light at the end of the tunnel. (Lesley: Yeah.) And I that's where I thinking back now, this was many years ago, but, you know, having had a chance to have that 200 page report from the doctor that we found, where he actually sat down explain to you all the things it was, even though even though there was still a multiple year path to being more healthy, and being, you know, healing, it at least there was a path that was like, "Okay, we can do this.: Whereas before, it was always (Lesley: Yeah.) like, "We don't know, we don't know." And this is just terrible.Lesley Logan Yeah. So if you are in a situation right now, where you don't have help, hope and help, then people that you really do feel like has your best interests at heart of the people to tell, then hopefully, with their network, you can get the help and the hope and then and then that was when I felt comfortable sharing anybody and people were like, "Whoa, I had no idea." I'm like, "I know, you didn't have any idea." Like, it is a lot. So ...Brad Crowell Look, if you are, you know, if you're applying this to your story, and you have had gut challenges that you've gone to every doctor, and every doctor has told you that there's nothing wrong with you, you're probably crazy. And you know that you're not and you know ...Lesley Logan And I did have a doctor telling me that. I had a doctor literally say, I think you have body dysmorphia. I need to go see a psychologist.Brad Crowell Yeah, yeah. I'm I'm pulling bits from your story, if you're, if you experience are experiencing the same things, and you've been, you know, dealing with with something for years, and we are more than happy to connect you to the doctor that Lesley found, that was able to actually dig in and have this bigger picture about it. So if that's something that is really of interest to you, and you're just like you're at the end of the road, you just don't know what to do next. Reach out to us and let us know. We're happy to (Lesley: Yeah.) make that that connection for you.Lesley Logan Yeah. Yeah. So I hope that was helpful. I hope, you know, it's, there's, it's like, I it's like you, I always think about Tiffany Haddish. And somebody I'll have her on the show. But she shared like that she had like a, how about her doing her comedy, and she like, told a story about someday her and she and her mom, I got in a fight in the parking lot, that morning. She told the story and someone heckled it. And she realized in that moment, like, sharing things with the public where they could have judgment around it before you healed from something is not is not the way to do it. So she instead shared what was going on with her family and her joking way and her way of the way that she handles life with close people. And like that requires like, maybe you sitting down and like writing down a list of people who like are like whose opinion of you matter, who always are like they are to help you out. And then she would when she healed from it, then she make it a comedy special. (Brad: Yeah.) And so I think like, that's just kind of how I like interpreted it myself. It's like, "Okay, who can I tell around me? Who I don't feel is going to judge me? Who I don't feel is going to be like, Lesley, we're all going through this." And then and then I was able to write those blogs and now I just talk about it because I you know, it's it, I don't want anyone to think that what they're going through with their health is normal. (Brad: Yeah.) You know, it's just like Jessica said ...Brad Crowell Well, we're gonna cover that.Lesley Logan Yeah, just gonna know it's not normal. Brad Crowell Okay, now let's talk about Jessica. Y'all, you may have already heard Jessica Valant because we had her on as a guest way back at the beginning of the pod. That's because Jessica and Lesley are very close friends. They've known each other for a very long time. So we're so excited to be welcome, welcoming Jessica Valant back to the Be It pod. She is a leader in the Pilates industry, with a background in Physical Therapy. She is the founder of Momentum Fest which is a huge international movement festival, usually hosted out, well, it's always been hosted out of the Denver area. (Lesley: Yeah.) It's moved around and so ...Lesley Logan Well, people from the international community come.Brad Crowell Yeah, people fly in from all over the world. It's really amazing. Jessica is a strong believer in self advocating, and she's a mom that is passionate about helping women find a positive outlet for tough health questions. And that's specifically because she has experienced a lot of health challenges since her early 20s. So very similar convo as what we just talked about, Lesley just talked about Oh, but Jessica has been struggling with endometriosis. So anyway, she has been through all the things including multiple pregnancies, IVF, all that stuff. And it's a very powerful interview that we that you held with her. I didn't even know some of that stuff. And I also didn't know that she was so transparent about it. And she basically said, you know, I never imagined that would be in the healthcare industry. But because of all the circumstances that I went through, I am.Lesley Logan Well, I think like, this is if you've ever heard your mess is your message, and I would like hear that all the time from podcasts. And that's kind of how this podcast came to be. Because like, I was a perfectionist, and I was not thinking, like, I like it just so anyways, if you're so basically, she didn't imagine she'd be there. And because her, I don't want to say that her health is a mess. But like, the idea is that like her problems, basically became the thing that she talks about. (Brad: Totally.) She's the best person to talk about it because she's experienced it and she knows it. And so I had to have her back because I mentioned on her first episode, we didn't even get into the women's health. And I was like, well, that's so important ...Brad Crowell We could change that. We could call it your pain is your program.Lesley Logan Oh, well, then it's ours. I'm already putting a little topper on that. That's mine. Mine. All right, I just felt like LL Finding Nemo. Mine, mine. Yeah. What did you love that you said?Brad Crowell Yeah. So I think a little bit of practical advice because I started laughing about this, because we've been paying for health insurance for ever. And we hardly take advantage of it. And this summer, we thought, well, we need to just go get an annual checkup. And I went to the annual checkup. And I don't know, I just sat there and like, you know, was like, I felt like I was like having like a shoot the shit like convo with my new general practitioner. And it was only like partway through that. I was like, "Oh, wait, I have like, I have actually a family history to share with you." And then at the end of it you came in and we met in the lobby, and you said, "Oh, did you ask them about this thing, specifically that you booked the entire appointment to ask about?" And I totally forgot, I like literally forgot. And fortunately, we were still at the office. And I was able to pull the doc aside and be like, "Hey, quick question. But it made me feel hilariously dumb that I forgot to talk to you about the thing." And when Jessica was talking about that scenario, in her in her interview with you, I started laughing because I completely forgot some of the major stuff that that was like that I wanted to talk to him about. So she had very practical advice. She said, here are three tips for getting the most out of your doctor's appointments. Okay, this is any doctor's appointment. Number one is to take notes, and just save them, write them down, write down what it is that you're feeling. And then you can then ask the doctor, hey, you can say to them, "Hey, this is normally how I feel. But I have been feeling these other things instead. Can you tell me what this means?" Right. But the big key thing there is write it down. (Lesley: Yeah.) So that when you get in front of the doctor, you're not going like, what was the thing I can't remember? Like, I mean, I think we've all probably done this with our vet appointments, where we're like, oh, you got like six things we want to vet to check in our dog and we get there. And we're like, we only remember three of them. Like what I need to call my spouse like I can't remember, there was something else.Lesley Logan Well, how about this? You go to the grocery store, and you forgot the thing you went to the grocery store for. (Brad: Sure.) So like this is just sound (Brad: Sure.) human beings do so if you've done this, it's like, there's nothing wrong with you. It's it's totally normal. And so that's why you have a notes app on your phone. (Brad: Yeah, exactly.) It's like ... you can write it in the appointment notes so you have on your calendar, you can (Brad: Sure.) write in your appointment notes, so you don't have to it's like really easy. Come up with a system that works for you. (Brad: Yeah.) And I, I did I did laugh. I like I kind of rolled my eyes actually. Because I was like, the whole appointment was on that thing. What are you doing and talking about?Brad Crowell I talked about everything else, like ...Lesley Logan ... like getting referrals, like seven things and I'm like, "What are you talking about? That is not why you made this appointment."Brad Crowell So the second point that Jessica said is, if you are really struggling with something that is affecting your stress levels in which it's very plausible, if if something's wrong with you, it could cause you to worry when you get in front of the doctor you may not actually be thinking clearly, and she suggested to take someone trusted with you to the appointment and just to sit there and be there and kind of look at it from an analytical perspective and make sure that you know, the emotional side of it isn't actually clouding the conversation or stopping you from asking the questions that you should be asking so that could be your partner. Or it could be your best friend, you know, someone who already knows these things about you that you feel comfortable sharing those things with, you're obviously going to have to have permission from the doctor because of all the HIPAA laws here in the United States, and all that kind of stuff about sharing sensitive health information, but I'm sure that's something that they can work out. (Lesley: It's completely ...) It's not uncommon, (Lesley: It's ... uncommon.) So it's like, it's like a parent child thing to, right? Obviously, there's another person in the room. And the last thing that she recommended was to be an advocate for yourself, and to come up with a list of questions for the doctor that you you are allowed to request blood tests, you don't have to sit there and like, hope that they suggest it. You can say, "Hey, I'm worried about this thing. You know, can we do a blood test or can we do a? Do I need to see a specialist or do whatever do I need to take the supplements because of this thing that I'm worried about?" Whatever it might be. Right. And the other thing is, she said, listen, doctors are, you know, you're the client of the doctor. And so doctors are busy, just like you will have clients with your, you know, whether you're teaching or your whatever it is that you're doing for work, you may have clients, you're the doctor's client, so it's okay for you to raise your hand again and be like, "Hey, don't forget about me. You said you were gonna give her give me this referral? Hey, you were gonna fax this thing over? Hey, you were gonna give me a prescription?" Whatever it is, right. You're allowed to be the squeaky wheel.Lesley Logan I used to work at the doctor's office. I did. I don't know if you know this, but I used to work at a doctor's office. And I actually worked in records and then I moved into phone calls. And here's what was very interesting, people who called I'd have their messages and have to go find their chart. Now everything is like do... like as digital, but I had to go find their physical chart. And I have to put the phone thing on the chart. And guess what I got put back on top, I got put back on the top. And so the squeaky wheel forgot their phone calls answered. And I was like, "This system doesn't make any sense because this poor person over here has been patient is getting nothing over here. (Brad: Right.) But at any rate, like it is your health and as your body. And I am going to go into what I loved. I've already said it, but it's just not as common as me. It's normal. Don't let your doctor tell you otherwise. So in that same doctor's appointment, (Brad: Yeah.) same office would end up happening is like the person we're supposed to see. And I really did have Brad, like, look up some criteria of like, what I thought I wanted a doctor. And he did. And he totally did. And he, like she met all the criteria was also close to home. And she was so busy. He was there for over an hour and hadn't got his appointment. So the other doctor in the office just did the appointment and ...Brad Crowell Yeah, for me. So I had not the GP we had booked, but it was in the same office as (Lesley: Yeah.) basically her business partner, I guess, or something like that. Anyway, (Lesley: And he ...) he was like, super helpful.Lesley Logan Super helpful. So great. I haven't watched the two of them talk at one point. And I'm like, "Oh, that guy's really helpful. That's great." But the person I got, first of all, it was like, it was like a night and day difference, not only did no one read what I wrote on the frickin paperwork that I wrote down. They made me answer it again. And then when the doctor came in, she made me answer it again. And like, I wrote it down, and I answered it, and like you have it right there. Like I already feel like you're not organized. Then I was telling her the things I'm concerned about in my body considered going back to family history, my father's had skin cancer, he's had melanoma. So I said, I haven't been a dermatologist since 2018. I'd like to see a dermatologist. She checked my back, just my back and she goes, "These all look fine." And she kind of just, I felt dismissed about that. (Brad: Right.) Then I asked her a couple more questions. And she either so my insurance wouldn't cover it or I don't have to worry about that. Because it's like, you've tested this many different times. And I felt so unseen. So like, even if, even if she's completely corrected what she said, the point is, it's that you it's your body, it's your health, and you have the right to find a doctor who will help you. So I'm going to juxtapose this to the woman who helped me with my IUD removal. And I share that because that was a journey and a half with all of you. But here's the deal that woman advocated for me. She found she's like, "I think I found your IUD. Let me get someone to confirm that I'm seeing it." Got it. Her specialists in her office to look at the ultrasound goes, "Is that it? What what where is it at her uterus? What's going on here?" And then she's like, "Let me go see if I can remove this today." I didn't ask her to because I was told I couldn't have removed that day. But she went to go see if she could do it then. And she came back and said, "I'm so sorry, your insurance won't let me remove it today. But it's a really simple procedure. It's not gonna be a problem. We know where it is." And so just let's and she took me to the front desk to make the appointment. (Brad: Yeah.) And so ...Brad Crowell That's really interesting. (Lesely: So ...) That's really amazing. (Lesley: It's amazing ...) You know what it's funny, I think I feel like like this is a second time. I've heard this story from you, obviously. And I feel like my conclusion was that the first the first GP was advocating on behalf of your wallet because she kept saying your insurance won't cover that. And the reality is, it doesn't matter. You need these tests anyway, this blood worked on anyway, the referral to the doctor anyway, whatever. Right. As so she was almost advocating for your wallet instead of your health. (Lesley: Yeah.) Whereas the second doctor, you know, she was advocating for your health first.Lesley Logan Yeah. So luckily, I can go to her for my female stuff. And I'm going to find a different GP and I'll just keep the hunt going. But I hope that that helps all of you give yourself permission. Like, I know, it's not especially I know a lot of places healthcare is a really hard thing, whether your government covers it, or you're in the US and the shitshow that we're all in. The reality is, is that it is up to us to advocate for ourselves. And we really do only have this one body. (Brad: Yeah.) We really do. And I don't know why we don't do preventative work. But like, please, please, please, like, take care of the body that you have, move it as much as you can. And when something feels off, write it down. Like Jessica said, take notes. How long is it off? When was the last time it felt right? Because if it is something that is consistently off, dismissing it, it's just going to cause more problems.Brad Crowell Well, I mean, just circle it back around just because it's common (Lesley: Yeah.) does not mean it's normal. (Lesley: Yeah.) Right. And it might be common, you know common across the population. But it doesn't mean it's normal. Our bodies shouldn't be doing some of the things that are happening.Yeah. And before we go into the BE IT actions, I just want to say this, like I have more female health advocates coming on the show. And there's a big reason why. We have to hear this message over and over again. Because here's the deal, ladies if your health is off, my stomach was off. Jessica has people dealing with pelvic floor issues, those will be off. If you have those issues, it does absolutely affect you feeling confident enough to go to work. It affects you feeling like you can show up and be your whole self. There are things you say no to because you're worried about how, like I said no to amazing dinners, because I couldn't eat the food. And like who knows what would happen there? And so I cannot help you 'be it till you see it' if your health is keeping you from that. So anyways, okay, (Brad: Yeah.) we can talk about this action items now.All right, so finally, let's talk about those BE IT action items that you discuss with Jessica Valant. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo? Why don't you go first?Lesley Logan My big takeaway is how can you live that best life in that middle space? I thought this is so good. Like I was like, " this is so good." The ...Brad Crowell Oh first off what, let's explain what the middle space means.Lesley Logan Yeah. So, day to day action. You know, like the middle, here's the thing, you have a start point. This is like this the middle, you have a start point. And you have a goal. Right? So in particular, with what Jessica was saying is like you you had the life you had then like, then you have this like situation that's going on with your health. And you have this goal at the end, like when this health thing goes away. (Brad: Yeah.) But the reality is, is that because how long test take because how long healing takes because of all because of research all that stuff. There's going to be a middle. (Brad: Yeah.) And I, how do we live our best life? How do we be it till we see it? How do we show up and do other things while we're in the middle waiting for the healing, waiting for the results, waiting for the thing that's going on to be different? And I if you I don't think this is like everything this is whether it's health, whether it's business, whether it's love, whether it's anything like how do we live our best life in that middle space, that space between where we started and where we want to be?Brad Crowell Okay, so, so yeah. So what are those actual suggestions that Jessica had about how we live our best life in the middle?Lesley Logan Yeah, so she mentioned like the day to day action. So like, and that's, y'all, there's a lot of days that can be very much the same. And instead of it being redundant, "Oh my gosh, I'm like living this life waiting for the next thing." It's like, what action can you take each day, it's going to give you clarity, it's going to feel really good, then it takes a plan. So you really are going to need to plan and, and that is the hardest part. But then you have to work the plan. My loves she didn't mentioned that, but this is very important. And Amy Ledin's like once you have a plan, you should have to work the plan, and you have to trust the plan. You can't just do it one day, and then the next day. Brad Crowell Yeah, actually, this makes me think back to your doctor's like 200 page, (Lesley: Yeah.) you know, like all of the research that he did on your, like testing on your blood, and all the conclusions that he drew from it, he came to you and said, "Okay, here's your plan for the next 12 months." Right. (Lesley: Yeah.) And he literally gave you the steps.Lesley Logan Yeah, he did. And I had to work them. (Brad: Yeah.) Yeah. Know that it is your journey. I thought that was very key the your, that is your journey. And like, I think it can be easy to compare your journey to someone else's journey, but it's your journey. (Brad: Right.) And it's okay to be in this journey. And, and also one day at a time, it's a process, it will get you where you want to go. So anyways, I feel like I've just this I'm so passionate about this and I hope this is episode ... And so what did you, what are your BE IT loves?Brad Crowell Yeah. So you asked a really great question at the very end of the interview, that that neither of you actually answered. And I wanted to bring it up, back up so that we can answer here, you asked, "How do you find a middle where you can live in that and thrive in that and enjoy it? So that you're not constantly looking at that finish line." Right. And Jessica said, "Right, like endometriosis of which there's no cure." So how do you enjoy the middle? You know, even if there there might not be an end.Lesley Logan Well, I kind of I mean, I kind of I think that was a rhetorical question. (Brad: Oh.( (Lesley laughs) (Brad: I mean ...) Do you want more. I mean,Brad Crowell Yeah, effectively can how can we answer that? You know, how do we how do we find contentedness in the middle? How do we enjoy the journey?Lesley Logan I think it's going to be different for everybody. And I do think like specifically, when, when, when you're one where there is no cure, like I think about Lori Watson, right? She's got back fusions. And so she's (Brad: Right.) like, one day, there's gonna be in her lifetime, they're gonna be like, here's a new spine. (Brad: Right.) Do you know what I mean? And I share that because we just had her on OPC to do a workshop about back stuff. But um, and I think like Jessica with endometriosis, and I think some of these things, maybe, you know, your pain becomes your program. And she is like finding money to raise money for research, we actually can figure out endometriosis. (Brad: That's true. She you did there.) Yeah, I just like I know, I'm so good at circling back to things. And but I think like I said, I think it comes back to the 'be it till you see it' like who, why do you want? (Brad: Yeah.) First, like, what do you want? And also like, you are not your endometriosis, you are not whatever this pain is. I was not my stomach issues. I was not my health. Like, those are the things those are not the things I am, that's not like, here, it's not gonna be on my tombstone here lies Lesley, she had a lot of stomach problems. It's gonna talk about like, the what, I don't know, I don't even know what my tombstone, but it's not gonna say that. So, the reality is I think you need to go back to like, what are you what are you wanting out of this life that you have? (Brad: Yeah.) And where are you today? And then when you work yourself backwards, that's what creates the plan. (Brad: Yeah.) And then I really think you got to celebrate the fuck out of each day. (Brad: Yeah.) And what did go well, and so the highlight of your day is not the pain you're in.Brad Crowell It's the joy of the journey. (Lesley: Yeah. And I'm not saying we ...) So what joy can you find (Lesley: Yeah.) in the journey? How do you you know, I feel like taking a pause, you know, like this brings back Jackie Serviss, Powering the Pause, you know, or Amy Ledin you know, her ongoing battle in and you know, cancer free and then it goes back and ...Lesley Logan She doesn't focus on her cancer every day. I talked to her every other week. She we don't even talk about that. (Brad: Out of remission. Yeah.) Yeah. We talked about the action steps she's taken that day, what she's celebrating, what's going well, and I'm not saying that any of these people nor myself ignore the pain, you still are advocating for yourself. It's just that you know, what we what, what we manage is what grows right? What what we appreciate, appreciates. So you can each day appreciate the good things that happened that day the people that you love, the the people that open the door for you, the people that, like, supported you, and yet this other stuff can still have happened. But you can we, if you focus on all that good stuff, I think you're just gonna feel fucking better. And you're (Brad: Yeah.) going to enjoy that medal. And then you take notes like each day about, like how you're feeling about the thing that you're trying to solve a problem on. But I don't know, like ...Brad Crowell What we appreciate, appreciates.Lesley Logan Yeah, it really does. So I think I'm a verbal processor. I hope everyone followed that. And I hope and if you're like shouting out from your phone, like to me and Brad, what the answer is, then send it to the @be_it_pod. (Brad: Yeah.) And I'll post it, I'll talk about it in a future episode, because I would love to hear how you are trying to live and thrive in the middle without without your whatever your thing is holding (Brad: Yeah.) you back. It's there, it's part of the journey. It makes it ... Here's the deal, have you ever heard anybody inspiring a story? Say, "I had it like this amazing life, and it was so fucking great. And then I got here and I made this amazing thing. And it's so been so fucking great." And then ... no, every single person, including Oprah, her fucking self, they all came from some sort of pain. And then they used it to create the programs and the platforms, and another whatever 'p' where we want to put in here to to help others. So they and they don't focus on the pain that they came from. It's just part of the story. It's part of their middle, and it's what helps them reach other people. So anyways,Brad Crowell Yeah. Well, that's awesome. I think that was a great answer to a rhetorical question.Lesley Logan Well, I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan Thank you so much for joining us today.

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It podcast interview recap where my co host in life, Brad and I are going to dig into the liberating conversation I have with Giselle Schroer (Brad: That's right) in our last episode, period. (Brad and Lesley laughs) If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause this now. Go back and listen to that one. And then come back and join us or listen to this one then go back and listen that one and see if our takeaways match your takeaways, (Brad: Yeah) you do you.Brad Crowell Yeah, you know, someone said to me that they listen to the interview first. And then they guess at the interview points that we're going to cover during our recap (Lesley: That's fine) the following episode, and they try to figure out if they identify the same things that we're talking about... I thought that was cool.Lesley Logan You know what, somehow we should do a contest and have people like submit their takeaways to see, I don't know how you do a blind though, because like, I want to make sure that they don't think that we're being fishy to see what their takeaways are to make our takeaways but I want people to have to submit, you know, like that marriage, that marriage contest like newlyweds? (Brad: Oh, yeah) Where like they asked a question, but you'd already written your answer down. You flip the card up. I want to do that. How do we do that?Brad Crowell Yeah, we're gonna parking lot that idea for now, but I like it and I'm in...Lesley Logan When we do live podcast recaps.Brad Crowell Oh, that will be fun. That could be fun.Lesley Logan That can be fun. Okay, anyways,Brad Crowell Good idea. Let's talk about that later ... (Brad laughs)Lesley Logan Ideas parking lot. Okay, y'all, Brad,Brad Crowell Tell me!Lesley Logan I'm so freakin' stoked. (Brad: Oh, good.) It's only a few days away that we kick off our fourth 100withme challenge the "Me, Myself and I" themed one... 30 (Brad: That's right) days of self care, being first in your life, filling your cup first ... (Brad: building healthy habits) in a really awesome safe container because I am not going to let you judge on yourself, shit on yourself, beat on yourself. All the negative self talk if you miss a day (Brad: All the self) Yeah, if you miss a day, we are going to change the way that the curves pass in your brain that go from when you miss doing something you wanted to do for yourself to how you think about yourself afterward. We're changing that. So ... (Brad: I like it) Anyways, (Brad: it's important.) We have hundreds of people signed up.Brad Crowell Yeah, hundreds, literally hundreds (Lesley: It's insane.) Yes. And there's still room for more. So, if you are not yet signed up, go to 100withme.com. (Lesley: 100) Join us, you don't want to miss this is actually going to be a huge party. It's gonna be I think, even more exciting than any of the other ones we've had just because we have a lot more people involved (Lesley: We have ton...) So it's really cool.Lesley Logan We have ton of people celebrating their fourth 100withme, (Brad: Yeah, good for them) We got to figure out (Brad: We love them) how to give them an OG shirt but (Lesley laughs) but we want, everyone, we want you to join, too because here's the thing like, in... when you change your environment, you actually can make changes in your life in a way that actually sticks. And so bring your friends because then you really do change your environment when you're outside of this challenge. But also, you'll all be in this environment together. I'm not going to let you like shit all of yourself, I'm going to help you even if it's five minutes a day, we're gonna create consistency in your life, even if it's five minutes a day, because ...Brad Crowell Yeah, look, the reality is a lot of people – what I've noticed, because I'm the numbers guy looking at everything, and I'm literally seeing every post that's happening is – half the people start. Like if if 100% started and they are posting and it's exciting. Half of them stop in like a week (Lesley: And then they aren't ...) and they don't come back ... They actually just dip out and they're like, "I fucked it up, I'm out."Lesley Logan Yeah, they're and we, and that really bothered me. So, I actually started because I don't actually if you miss a day, it doesn't hurt me, my feelings. I don't even ... we just troubleshoot and figure out how to help you do this in a different way. That's how I see it. But I had I actually had to go study with a behavior scientists to figure out, "Why this happened? Why do people stop just because they missed a day" and what I found out is everybody does this. You're not alone if you do this. (Brad: Yeah) Everybody is like super highly motivated in the beginning. They do things and then of course, motivation is fickle. We know this it wanes and then they miss a day because life freakin happened. (Brad: Yeah) And they think, "Oh, I just have to stop," (Brad: which is totally normal and understandable) for they miss a week. And they're like, I just thought it's like, actually, no, we figure out what happened so we can make changes. So when life happens in the future, you don't have to go, "Oh, that's another thing, I can't commit to another (Brad: Well...) thing that I didn't finish."Brad Crowell We could quote Giselle Schroer here, (Lesley: Oh, that's cool) let's she actually said, "Every single step, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction." (Lesley: Frickin love it.) And she said that in the last episode, and so it's totally applicable here. You know, if you get started in this episo... or in this challenge, and then, you know, in week two, like, you know, something crazy happens in life, and it pulls you completely out of it. Come back and join us for week three, it's okay, you know, like ... We are not here to judge you, we're not here to like, you know, put you down because you didn't finish... that's ridiculous. That's not what we're all about, you ... know, you know that by now. So, if you're not, in, or even if you're like, "I know, I'm gonna be traveling for two weeks," we don't care. Join us for anyway, (Lesley: join us for anyways, because...) Yeah. Meet the community, it's an incredible group of people.Lesley Logan 100%. And you will also learn how you can do part of something while you're traveling. So you can keep doing the things that fill your cup first, because (Brad: Yeah) when you're traveling, because we travel a lot to see family, and I do my my walks, I do my workout to do my things. Why? So that I can hang out my family, and feel frickin' awesome doing it. So we're gonna help you figure out ways that work for you in smaller, tiny steps, like Giselle said, so that you can actually feel frickin' good about yourself and, and live life for 30 days with all this dopamine going on. Like you don't have to do 30 minute workouts, you can do five minute workouts.Brad Crowell Well, ... this, this ties right into our audience question, (Lesley: Yeah) which was this week, "What do you do for self care?" And, I know we have a handful of different things. But one of the things that I love to do for self care is travel. And so, you know, getting just changing my environment, whether that is like a quick travel where I'm like, "I want to go work from the coffee shop today." I used to do that all the time, less so now because it COVID and all the things, but it's starting to shift again and open up again. Or it's actually traveling like, like, "Let's go to Maui, or let's go to you know, see my folks" like you're just saying, seeing family, whatever. And you know, what is so awesome is that when you start to build those good habits, those good routines, you can take that with you on the road.Lesley Logan Yeah, they're super good. So let's talk about this audience question... anyways, before you do that, get your booty signed up for the challenge. (Brad: 100withme.com) Okay, so this question, I really love it. I love that you mentioned travel and stuff like that. And I know that you don't use travel as a reward for anything. So this isn't... that answer doesn't apply to this. But I think oftentimes, a lot of people think of self care things like massages, facials, (Brad: Sure) even like going shopping as like a reward for doing something like, "Oh, you know, I did this thing, I'm gonna go get a facial" and and I don't believe that self care should be treated as rewards for anything. It should absolutely 100% be kind of like the way you think of how much you have to drink water. Like it's essential for your survival on this planet. (Brad: Yeah) So one of the things Brad does for self care is like change in his environment and getting out and like in doing those things, he has other things he'll share. But I do a lot of things for self care. (Brad: Yeah) So, I actually treat my facials as routine, (Lesley laughs) not a reward. But my self care really does start with, I don't have like, it has to be an hour of this and an hour of that, or twen... It's like, I just know that my mornings have to be my self care. And then I have other things I do throughout the day. I don't know if I've shared this, but I also have blocks of time that I have, because I'm someone who, if my schedules are blocked off, things get scheduled in it. So there are blocks of time during my day that are just whitespace and then there's a list of things I can choose from to do (Brad: Yeah) that are self care, some of that's breathwork, sometimes it's reading a book. Sometimes it's going for an extra walk or calling a friend but like I have a list of things that are self care for me and so it doesn't have to be a workout. It doesn't have to be facials, massages, but it does have to make you feel energized when it's over. So, I would just ask yourself like if you're unsure because I know some of you right now are like beyond the need for self care like you're you're (Brad: burnt out, fried) burnt out and the gasoline gauge is like beyond empty and you are on fumes someone is pushing your car up the road to a gas station 10 miles away. Just have to look back at the pictures where you see yourself smiling the most and look at what you're doing. Put that in your list of thing to do for self care. I promise you, it's gonna make you feel freakin awesome. Well ...Brad Crowell Well, I think also it starts with sleep. (Lesely: Oh, Brad ... self care) And that's I'm like, I'm not great at sleep. But I've started this past year with COVID. What I decided to do was take a nap when I'm tired. Like, if it's four o'clock, and I'm done, I'll close my eyes for 20 minutes. You know, (Lesley: Sometimes you does it at noon) Yeah, it just depends if I'm like completely fried because what I've realized is that I'm not, if I can't think well, I'm not serving anybody. I'm not helping me, I'm not actually getting it done, I'm not helping our team. I'm not writing, I'm not focused, I'm just sitting there doing nothing, it's better for me to sleep than it is to actually pretend that I can get something done.Lesley Logan Well and everything takes longer when you don't fill your cup. When you are not full, (Brad: Yeah) filled, like, like going back to the gasoline, it takes longer to get gas, if you run out of gas. Like you have to push the car to the place and then you got to fill the whole tank up, not a quarter of the tank, they'll have the entire tank, our van's tank is crazy big, it is insanity. So you just, you don't want to wait until you're at empty to do your self care when you need it, you do it and if it's part of your routine, it's even better.Brad Crowell Yeah, yeah, that's, (Lesley: I love it) that's an interesting analogy, but we'll go with it for this one. I think that it's applicable. It's a good visual. (Lesley: Well, I've run out of gas many times.) (Brad laughs) So, but I (Lesley laughs) but you know, also too, I often, like for me, self care is turning my brain off. And I do that by watching a movie, watching movie I don't have to think about, you know, so whatever that movie might be the the point is, at the end of my day, instead of like, sitting there, thinking about reflecting back on my day and thinking and like letting my mind continue to mull over the problems I'm trying to solve. I will stop that by watching a movie or entertaining my brain so that it's just easy not to have to think (Lesley: Yeah) so that's one of the things that I do for sure.Lesley Logan Yeah, I want to hear what other people do for self care because ... (Brad: Yeah: What do you do for self care?) I want to hear like the craziest, coolest things do you do for self care. There's, I mean, the list is endless. It's also super personal. (Brad: Yeah) So, but it should be part of your daily routine... (Brad: No, not daily. Doesn't have to be daily.) No, I think self care, I think self care is daily.Brad Crowell No. Well, sure ... I don't think that all of the self care is daily, like getting your nails done. You don't get that done daily. Right? (Lesley: Right) Like, so ...Lesley Logan True. True. True. But but getting your nails done is not a reward for doing something your life is just part of things that make you happy and that's okay. (Brad: Yeah, exactly.) Okay, so correct. You, self care as a thing on your day is essential. What that ends up being doesn't have you (Brad: You can change) change. You can change. (Brad: Yeah) Correct. (Brad: Totally) I'm glad we made that clear. (Brad: Yeah) Alright.Brad Crowell Okay, now let's talk about Giselle Schroer. (Lesley: Yeah!) Giselle Schroer is a mom of two boys. She's they are crazy, crazy, busy boys, as she describes. She's a health and nutrition coach and she is a certified personal trainer. She helps women to learn to love and nurture their bodies from the inside out through a balanced approach to health and fitness. She started her own coaching programs, working in group settings, and also one on one. And, I think that when I wrote this into, this intro, this bio to her I kind of didn't really talk enough about food, because for her nutrition is priority number one. And she, well, you know, if you listen to her interview, you know why, because she talks about how the lack of taking care of herself actually did not serve her at all, later on in life. She's 40 now, I think she said she's 40. And she, you know, but when she was in her teens and 20s, you know, had had eating disorders and a lot of really food issues with food, a terrible relationship with food, and also over exercising, overworking out. And so today, like roughly 10 years ago, she decided, you know, they wanted to have children and that really changed her path. And she realized, like, "Wow, I didn't set myself up for this at all (Lesley: Yeah) from a physical perspective." And so she is now helping women go through that battle of, how do you see food in a healthy way? And how do you see working out in a healthy way? As opposed to the unhealthy portrayal that we get from magazines and TV and movies and blah, blah, blah, you know, and anyway, it just was a really refreshing conversation with her because I think liberating is an appropriate word. (Lesley: Yeah) Because I think that where she came from to where she is today is, it's a huge win and I'm like, so happy for her. And I thought, like the way she talked about it made it tangible. You know, like, I, wow, okay, maybe that's like something that we should all be talking about.Lesley Logan 100%. I, I brought her on, because I'm lucky to be around a bunch of women who are in the fitness and wellness industry. And what I love about each woman that I'm bringing on in that industry is it's not what the magazines talk about when it comes to, what health and healthy lives and healthy bodies look like, they all are so ... such a proponent of like, being your your best self and loving the body that you have. And, and the way she sees food is just such an, it is liberating that's a good word for it. I love that.Brad Crowell Yeah.Lesley Logan Okay, so something that I took away from her interview, and I may have shared this in her episode, but if not, I'm sure I'll share it again. But she talked about being your own health advocate. And there's something you know, really important about that if you haven't listened to past episodes, you might not know that I suffered for stomach issues for years. And I went to doctors, and they literally didn't listen to me, or they kept trying to give me pills that just mask the symptoms that didn't actually solve the problem. And I, I don't know who told me that I could tell people, "No," or just find other doctors. But it's so important that if you are going through something that does not feel normal in your body, that if you don't get an answer that actually gets to the solution of the problem that you keep searching. We have so many friends in our lives who have different interesting issues. And so many times doctors don't really know so well, here's this pill that's going to mask those symptoms, but doesn't solve the problem. And if I hadn't been my own health advocate, I don't think I don't know that I'd be here, I would not be doing this with you. Because I was really, I was really not in a good healthy spot for a long time. So everyone, please be your own health advocate.Brad Crowell Yeah, and we are lucky enough that one of our team members, Lindsay, actually teaches people how to be a health advocate, in fact, (Lesley: Yeah. She made a course for us) she she did, she made a course for us at Profitable Pilates and she did a webinar for our coaching group on the power and the value of being your own health advocate,Lesley Logan And also how to help others be their advocate. So there's a lot of tools for like, if you have someone in your life, who you can see is not getting the help that they want or not being seen in the medical industry the way that they want to be seen, teach them how they can do that. It's really freakin cool.Brad Crowell Yeah, check out the course, it's go to ProfitablePilates.com and look at the courses and you'll find one from Lindsay, Lindsay Moore. And it's about how to be your own health advocate. It's great. Um (Lesley: What do you love?) So, yeah, so okay, so this was interesting. I don't know if I loved this (Lesley laughs) so much as I related to it. So she talked about how you know, she's 5'10" and was, you know, underweight, a lot underweight. And she was, you know, for her body, she should have been eating, you know, at least 1500 calories a day, but she was only eating 1200 calories a day. Or maybe she was just using it as an example, I can't actually remember. But she was talking about how, you know, when you are eating so little, when you do end up eating, you know, the recommended more calories per day then what you're currently eating, your body doesn't know what to do with it, because it goes into mode, the mode of like, well, I guess I need to survive on 1200 a day. So when you eat 1500 or 1800 calories and it's like, "Extra food, I'll store it as fat!" Right? And it really jacks up your system even though your quote unquote "eating a normal serving," right. So what (Lesley: You did air quotes there) I did, I did the air quotes, I did that. (Lesley laughs) I also did say quote unquote, I did say that.Lesley Logan Okay, you did. (Brad laughs) That's true quote unquote, (Brad: quote unquote)Brad Crowell But basically, she was talking about weight and, you know, weighing, it's okay to weigh more. (Lesley: Yeah) It's so in you, you know, eating the appropriate amount of food. And this is counterintuitive, because I know that, you know, when you think about food, generally the generalization is, "Oh, I'm over eating, I'm eating too much." Right? And I actually, personally had the opposite problem. I wasn't eating enough and I didn't even know I wasn't eating enough. And because I don't have a scale in my house and I hardly look in the mirror. I would just go to the office and I would always skip breakfast. I was in a very emotionally difficult time in my life. And I was going to the office, I would never eat breakfast and then I throw myself into work, I'd have coffee, and then, you know, all of a sudden it'd be like, "Oh, shit, it's three o'clock, I gotta leave here at 5:30, anyway, I might as well not even take lunch, I'll just keep working. And then I'll leave here at five so that I can get home and I can eat dinner." And then I'll go home, and I would eat a whole pizza, or I'd make a steak or whatever. And at the end of the day, the literally the only thing I'd eaten was dinner, which was maybe I was gorging myself, and I was still only eating 1200 1500 calories. Right? And, and ...Lesley Logan If that I mean, you don't unders... like it's hard to eat a lot of calories in one sitting.Brad Crowell Right? You know, so and then and then, but but but, you know, compound that by six months of doing that, you know, and I lost 10 pounds, and I didn't have 10 pounds to lose. But I didn't even realize I had lost 10 pounds, (Lesley: Yeah) right? And then, you know, a friend of mine was like, "Bro, are you like, are you okay? ... like, you look thin." I was like, "What? No, I'm fine." And they're like, "Are you sure? Like go weigh yourself," I weighed 10 pounds less than what I thought I weighed. And it was actually a legit challenge to learn when and how to eat appropriately, you know, so that I was actually trying to get in roughly 2000 calories a day, right, or at least more than what I was eating before. So it started off with me by getting a calorie counting app, which is something that Giselle talked about. Because I was actually counting... it for me it was a wake up call to how little I was actually eating.Lesley Logan And the thing is, is that literally food is your fuel. It really really is and ...Brad Crowell Coffee is not your fuel. As much as we love coffee. (Brad laughs)Lesley Logan I friggin love, it is a superfood. But the the thing that I've seen in the fitness industry is just that, like so many of my clients are under eating. And most of my clients are women, my athletes, my athletes were definitely very fueled. We can learn something from them, they are like very intentional about their fueling. (Brad: Right) But so many of the women that I would train, they were under eating, and they were wondering why they didn't look different or didn't feel different. And it's because what we don't understand is that we have we're relationship with food. And the... and Giselle talks about that such as negative and positives when it comes to it. And so I just think it's really important if you are at all interested in making sure that you're fueling yourself correctly, you definitely want to hire a nutritionist, this is something that like I added I ended up having to do, because after so many years of stomach issues, I was told, "Can't eat that. Can't eat that. Can't eat that," we got down to like, not, you know, a lot of things... and, and because of how busy my life is that wasn't good enough for me. Like, I couldn't live off of that. I didn't feel fueled. I felt exhausted all the time. I felt (Brad: Yeah) depressed and hangry. And ...Brad Crowell And you would come home from the studio and go to sleep.Lesley Logan Yeah. And so anyways, when I met with a nutritionist, she actually helped me figure out what foods worked for me. And it's very personal specific thing, this is not something... you don't want to pull off diets off the internet. And I don't, and diets don't mean that you're going on a diet, diets means the way you eat your food. (Brad: Yeah) So super, super important something that I have stru... I was striving for for so long, and I feel very successful at now is that like, I don't live on a restrictive lifestyle of how I eat. And I eat for fuel so I can do things like this, I can talk with all of you so I can film, so I can coach, so I can be present. And so I think ...Brad Crowell Well, let's talk more about that in the next section.Lesley Logan Okay, but anyways, I really do. I did love that she also brought up it's okay to weigh more, because I also think that we, I think very few women are very confident in how they look and that's based on how the media tells us what is pretty. And one of the things that I have seen, just in being a trainer is how different sizes can do amazingly awesome things. And so it is not about what you weigh and it's really all about how you feel. And so (Brad: Yeah) please take that as a note, because it's really important to me that people just feel good and feel strong in their body.Brad Crowell Yeah. Well, that's, that's one of the things she said about 10 times in the last episode. It's like, "You don't even know how good you can feel (Lesley: Yeah) until you know, you feel good. (Lesley: Right) And, and I was like, "Wow, that's..."Lesley Logan ... It's like such a simple things (Brad: so profound) and also so profound. Yeah,Brad Crowell Yeah, it's so liberating.Lesley Logan Yeah, yeah. Alright. So um,Brad Crowell Alright. Finally, let's talk about the Be It action items from your convo with Giselle Schroer. What bold, executable intrinsic or targeted actions, can we take away from your convo with her? Why don't you go first? (Lesley: Oh!) We could pick up that thought.Lesley Logan So, hire health coach, (Brad: Right) because as I mentioned, I had a nutritionist, I actually have hired many health coaches to help me out. Y'all, I definitely had some some bad stuff going on. So, I hired somebody, after being my own advocate, I found someone who did these, like 278 tests on my body, and (Brad: 278?) ...8 tests (Brad: 278 tests) and I did it twice. And then (Brad: A couple, a couple years apart.) Yup. And then from and then I realized, like, how much better I was doing, I also started working with a holistic doctor who we have coming up on the podcast, and she definitely continued to help me save my own life. And then I also work with a nutritionist, so I could really figure out what foods worked for me, which ones actually made me feel super strong and able to have energy. And, also ...Brad Crowell I think that's one of the most like, that's like, the biggest misnomer or, you know, misunderstanding is like, you know, again, that food pyramid ... garbage, the the, you know, this guy who Lesley worked with, designed the diets of astronauts. (Lesley: Yeah) Okay, so ...Lesley Logan Because they all can't eat the same thing ... They have to have different things, because we're all different.Brad Crowell Well think about it. You know, you say that first off, you say that, like, "Oh, of course, the astronauts have to be at absolutely peak performance optimal, the best they could possibly be, you know, operating," because, you know, of the mission of going into space, like they don't get a second try, right. It's not like you swap them out. So those guys have to have their, their, you know, they have to be operating at the best possible place that could be. And so consequently, they each have their own diet based on their own body and the blood and all the things (Lesley: Yeah) and like all this stuff. So when you say that, it's like, "Well, of course, why would they not?" But then somehow we forget to continue with that logic ... because it's the same for us. (Lesley: Yeah) You know, why would it be any different for us? Like, I know, we're not going into space but still, if they're designing a custom nutrition diet for someone who needs to be opera... operating at peak performance? You know, we could take lessons from that for sure.Lesley Logan Yeah, I yeah. So, y'all, I mean, just if you are not feeling like you are, like, running at your optimal performance, it's so like, awareness is key. And then ask around, like, find people who will like who can help you, find a health coach that will help you, find a nutritionist or hire someone to do some blood work on you. Go... (Brad: Or you could talk to Giselle), you could talk to Giselle. I mean, like, honestly, it is, it is really, it's really, really important to me, because you you are the only person who can do what you do. And you can't do it if you are not fueled. Can't do it.Brad Crowell Yeah. So, I think you know, hiring a coach to help you through the process is very, very straightforward, obvious step.Lesley Logan Also save... Okay, not so obvious because for my stomach issues, because I had so many problems with doctors, I tried to do it myself. And we were like, do you remember the time we stopped cooking with oil?Brad Crowell Yeah, I remember.Lesley Logan We didn't cook with oil!Brad Crowell For six months...Lesley Logan I promise you...Brad Crowell It was annoying...Lesley Logan And it wasn't even the oil. (Brad: No) So here's what I'm gonna say. Just I know, it costs money, I know it does. But your time is also money (Brad: Yeah) and your health is not something to screw up with, as you heard from Giselle, like what happened with her and her desire to have children was totally affected by her not being fueled correctly. And by not like taking care of her health. So ... (Brad: Right, prior to that. Yeah) prior to that (Brad: Exactly) So, everyone listening, ladies and my gentlemen, too. But ladies, this is not something to DIY. Hire an expert and if you don't like that expert, find someone you trust. Find someone you like, ask your friends. Listen to the last episode, we talked about your one referral away. You're wha... I'm literally the people who saved my life are all people I was referred, too. (Brad: Yeah) There you go. What did you like? What was your Be It one?Brad Crowell Yeah. So for me, it was about stress. And she said, she was talking about like self image and body image and body awareness, but she said, "Unfollow, and get rid of negativity in your life." (Lesley: Yeah) Obviously, she's talking about social media and what she was specifically talking about, like, when you're, you know, changing the way you, changing your relationship with food. It will, it would serve you to also change the things you're consuming, you know, in your from your social media. So she talked about getting rid of the things that make you feel guilty, of getting rid of the things that make you feel that shame that (Lesley: Yeah) that start that ... conversation of beating yourself up. I I had a different connection with that, in that for me, it was actually quitting my job, was this negativity that was in my life. And it was like a crushing weight of stress. You know, and, you know, guilt and fear and like like to the point were my cell phone would ring and my heart would jump into my throat. You know, and like, I mean, I would wake up in a panic and and I didn't even know how I got that deep into, like the stress and the fear of that thing. And, and I was just talking with him about this with someone about this just a few days ago, it literally took me six months after leaving that job for my stress levels to, for me to realize what was a, what was a quote unquote "normal amount of stress," as opposed to the insanely high stress environment that I used to work in, which was unbelievably unhealthy.Lesley Logan Yeah. I really love this. She had some great ones actually but this one was really great, because I do think it's really easy for us to go, "Okay, I'm going to do this for my routine. I'm going to do this for my habits." And then we open up our Instagram, and we see all these things that like literally make us not feel good about ourselves. (Brad: Sure) And you can mute things on some channels, you can hide for 30 days, like Facebook has, like unfollow for 30 days, or Instagram has like a mute whatever. It doesn't mean it's forever. It just (Brad: Yeah) like, I actually think it's so important that we take responsibility for the things that like put us on a downward spiral. And there was a time when I literally had to, I went into my podcast, and I took all of our news podcasts, and I just literally was like, "Don't download, Don't show me, Don't download ... all of them." And I just went for three months wasn't even a long time I made this a long time, a lot of people, it was I left one up so I could stay in the know and I just did that. And I'm not kidding, my creativity came back, my energy came back, some things came back. And then when I was able to control my reaction to those things, then I was able to add some of those podcasts back in. And so (Brad: Sure) I think it's so important for us to go realize that, you know, when you're not in a great place when the muscles like think of it or like ability to deal with negativity, and all those things, think of it as a muscle, when you go to the gym and you haven't been to the gym in a long time picking up a 50 pound weight, not good, you might be able to do it not gonna be fun the next day, right, it's not gonna make you feel good. But if you were to start and get stronger, like sort of five pounds and add 15, whatever, you get stronger, then you got to pick that big amount. It's like super easy. So once I was able to get myself to a place where I could handle like filtering things that are not embodying the things are making me feel, oh, then I added them back in and I was able to go, that's that thing. I don't actually have to take that on. And so I just think it's really important for us.Brad Crowell I think that's a, that's like so, such a parallel to the conversation, and to what Giselle was saying about her relationship with food. When she was younger, she was so connected to the way she wanted to look and so she starved herself. She over exercise, she did not eat anything healthy, right, to, you know, to achieve this look and she really damaged her body. And then, you know, but then like, how is it today that she's like winning? Like, you know, she's 10 years ago is when she started to change her relationship with food. And her changed wasn't like, flip the next day. No, it was a slow conversation, a mental battle, right? And so kind of what you're describing about hitting pause for three months, and then slowly bringing it back in when you're in a different place and you can think about it differently. That's kind of what Giselle was talking about, too, (Lesley: Yeah) with how she slowly began to change the way she, you know thinks about food, thinks about exercise.Lesley Logan It's, it's just amazing. And if you're listening to this, and you're struggling with anything right now, please, if you don't hire a health coach, at least seek out a therapist in the area of (Brad: Yeah) fitness and nutrition, disordered eating, you're not alone, and especially right now is a, is something that is really happening because what else do we have control over except for like, how much we move or what we eat? And so please do not at all, build shame around that. And if you know someone who's going through this, (Brad: Yeah) help them be their own advocate. (Brad: Yeah. Amazing!) Alright, I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan Thank you so much for joining us today, everyday whenever you listen to this it brings me so much joy, it brings us so much joy.

Kim notes that eyewitnesses reported that there were instigators for violence in the crowd and the crowd did not respond. The founding of America is based on the principle that all men are created equal. Lindsay Moore, candidate for School Board District #20 (northern half of Colorado Springs) wants to “conserve” this principle. It is our duty to take control of local boards in order to stop the anti-American assault that our children experience every day. LEAP, Learning Enrichment and Academic Progress, which would be run by an unelected, unaccountable “Authority” is another big government program to take control of our children. LEAP is not the proper role of government and must be defeated. We must set our children up for success by teaching them the basics of reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history and critical thinking skills.

Bob Boswell, CEO of Laramie Energy, joins Kim to discuss current events and its influence on energy. Bob thinks it is ironic that Biden closes the Keystone pipeline and then asks OPEC to produce more oil while at the same time giving the green light for Russia's Nord Stream 2 which provides oil for Germany. Obtaining federal and state oil and gas leases and permits is proving difficult, including here in Colorado. Renewable energy is a supplement, not a replacement. California will now build natural gas plants to bring “energy stability” to the state. Additionally, power lines have not been maintained, causing more energy chaos for California. The state of affairs in Afghanistan will influence energy policy in the Middle East and come to the shores of America. It has been reported that $1-3 trillion of rare earth minerals are in Afghanistan, a key ingredient for electric vehicles. People forget that fossil fuels are affordable, efficient, abundant and reliable for our cars and for our homes. China has the highest fossil fuel emissions in the world at 14.3% of global emissions as a result of dirty coal production.

224: Non-Conformity with Doctors Rachael Holliday and Lindsay Moore-Ostby

Have you ever heard of Direct Primary Care providers? Neither had doctors Rachael Holliday and Lindsay Moore-Ostby, but when they did it changed their lives. Listen as they share their stories of burnout and how finding DPC has helped them take back their careers. Lindsay and Rachael worked together in their previous practice. Unfortunately however they were at the mercy of their shareholders and the powers that be in their billing and patient care practices. (As are most of us right?) They realized very early on that the way medicine and practice were being done was what was causing their burnout but they had no clue how to get out of it. At their lowest they’d both recognized why physicians often take their lives. Neither of them truly considered it for themselves, but even recognizing why it was appealing scared them both. Later they found out about DPC and thought it was too good to be true. It wasn’t until they met other doctors doing the same thing that they realized this new method of patient care could work for them. They buckled down and found a way to create their own DPC clinic and are now happier than ever. They can doctor their patients the way they want to. They can answer their own phones and really make connections with their patients. Both Lindsay and Rachael have now realized their original goal in pursuing medicine. To better the lives and health of others. This was an amazing conversation with two brilliant primary care physicians. If you’ve been looking for a way out without leaving the dream of doctoring, you need to hear this. If you’d like to learn more, don’t be afraid to reach out and see how you too can make DPC work for you. “As doctors we’re really good at jumping through hoops. We spent decades...learning how to play the game. How to get the grade. How to do what you have to do just to get to the next stage.” Dr. Lindsay Moore-Ostby In this episode: [00:29] Welcome back friends! [01:57] I’m so excited to welcome Rachael and Lindsay to chat about nonconformity. [05:11] Learn more about their “Matrix” moment. [07:46] Rachael shares more about their journey toward creating a better system. [10:36] Lindsay digs deep into one of her worst burnout experiences. [13:43] How the physician patient relationship started to break down. [15:39] They’ve unplugged the Matrix and are now direct primary care doctors. Learn more. [18:10] Why switching to DPC has been amazing for their health and happiness. [21:22] It’s not just primary care that’s leaving the system. [23:52] Primary care doesn’t have to be astronomically expensive. [25:53] DPC is an amazing nonconforming physician led movement to take back medicine.

This is another episode of the student spotlight series where every Monday I interview my amazing Artist Academy Advanced students to get to know them better, give them direct advice on their art business, and so I can get feedback on how to be a better teacher. This week I'm interviewing Lindsay Moore and Dorin Mogda as we talk all about murals, prints, and everything that comes with being an up and coming artist. Lindsay is currently juggling the motherhood and fulltime artist role ever so well, and she was actually in the middle of painting a mural as we were talking. I could see a fun kids themed mural in the background which just goes to show you how used to juggling things she is. It's nice to just talk face to face with my students every week so I can better understand them, where they're coming from, what they're going through, so I can better understand how to teach them! Anyway, let me know what you think of this student spotlight interview with Lindsay Moore. www.instagram.com/lindsaybmooreart Next up is Dorin. I've mentioned this before but sometimes people join for the community like Lindsay and sometimes people join for the tutorials and templates, like Dorin. He's an art student who's just taking it one step at a time entering the art world. We talk about how to handle negative comments on social media and on a more positive note, our mural meetup that's coming up July 11th! Dorin is meeting us there and I'm so excited to teach everyone everything I know about painting murals. Seriously, if you're a student I highly encourage anyone within driving distance or a cheap flight away from Iowa to take advantage of this gathering and come learn the ropes. I'm going to be teaching everything from how to spray, to lettering, varnishing, and everything in between. If you're interested in more info just send me a DM, but for now let's get to Dorin's interview. www.instagram.com/dmogda.artJoin: www.artistacademy.co
