In this sermon, Rev. Pedram Shirmast takes us into the story of 12-year-old Jesus in the temple, where his response to Mary and Joseph"Why were you searching for me? Didnt you know I had to be in my Fathers house?"challenges us to reflect on where we seek hope. As we journey through Lent, we are invited to slow down, allow the Holy Spirit to search our hearts, and ask: What do we need to let go of to follow Jesus more fully? To catch up on the latest sermons from Deep Creek, go to iTunes, Spotify ordeepcreekanglican.comand check out the website for more info about whats happening. We are a welcoming and growing multigenerational church in Doncaster East in Melbourne with refreshing faith in Jesus Christ. We think that looks like being life-giving to the believer, surprising to the world, and strengthening to the weary and doubting. Read the transcript This morning, the word of the Lord is being read from the Gospel of Luke, chapter two, commencing at verse 41: Every year Jesus parents went to Jerusalem for the festival of the Passover. When he was 12 years old, they went up to the festival according to the custom. After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. Thinking he was in their company, they travelled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. After three days, they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you. Why were you searching for me? he asked. Didnt you know that I had to be in my Fathers house? But they did not understand what he was saying to them. Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. The Lenten Journey: Hoping for Change Good morning again. My name is Pedram, one of the ministers here, and it's such a privilege to go through this Lent series togetherQuestions of Hope. As was mentioned earlier, we have entered the season of Lent, and in the midst of our busy lives, Jesus invites us to slow down. Its a hard thing to do: to slow down and allow the Holy Spirit to search our hearts. But more important than merely observing this season is understanding why we do so. Why do we slow down? Why do we invite the Holy Spirit to search our hearts? Well, because we are hoping for changefor growth. Not just any change, but a deep change in our spiritual journey, in our relationship with our Savior Jesus Christ, and in our Christian character, to be more like Jesus. If we go through this season of Lent without this desire, then like any other season it will simply pass, and next year it will come again unchanged. I want to ask you a question: Where will you be in your faith and your relationship with Jesus this time next year? Some of us will definitely experience changes in lifeeither growing in appearance or height, or even sideways. Some will move to new places, new homes, or new job opportunities. Some will become grandparents. I wasnt expecting to share this, but since I already shared it at the 8:00 a.m. service: Lily and I will be becoming parents soon. So... thank you. This time next year, lots of changes for everybody in different ways. But what about our faith, our understanding of God's character and His will in our lives? Will we be growing in our trust and love for Jesus? Will we grow in the hope that we have in Jesus? This is why we hold this season. This is why we have faith in Jesusour sins are forgiven, and every day we walk through this journey to become more like our Savior. This is why we search our hearts, we repent, we fast. And it is not just about the tradition, but about the hope of transformation. We surrender to Jesus, asking him to shape us, renew us, and bring us closer to him as we prepare our hearts for the joy of this upcoming Easter, when we celebrate his resurrection. Mary and Josephs Search for Jesus This year, we are walking through Lent by exploring Questions of Hope the questions that Jesus asked people and the questions that people asked Jesus. Today we begin with a question Jesus asked as a 12-year-old in the temple: Why were you searching for me? Didnt you know I had to be in my Fathers house? His words challenge us today. Where are we searching for hope? Where are we searching for Jesus? Do we recognize where Jesus truly is? Jesus visit to the temple is a familiar story. From the time Jesus was an eight-day-old baby until he was a 30-year-old man at his baptism, we are told very little about his life except for this story in the Gospel of Luke. Among all four Gospels, only Luke gives us a glimpse of Jesus as a youth. He tells us the story of 12-year-old Jesus staying behind in the temple, amazing the teachers with his wisdom. This story is placed in Luke chapter 2 for a purpose, because we believe that every single storyevery single wordin the Word of God has a purpose for us. The story takes place 12 years after the first Christmas. Mary and Joseph were righteous, devout Jews who followed the Jewish laws. In verse 41, Luke tells us that Mary and Joseph traveled to Jerusalem for the Passover each year to celebrate God's deliverance of His people from Egypt. The journey to Jerusalem from Nazareth (about 145 km away) would have taken 3 or 4 days on foot. It was a long journey, but their participation shows their deep faith. The Jewish law required men to attend the festival each year, but whole families werent obligatedyet Mary and Joseph chose to bring Jesus along every year. But why did Luke include only this particular story of Jesus childhood here (and not, say, one from when Jesus was age 11 or 10 or 15)? Its because Jesus was 12 years old herea significant age in Jewish culture. At 13, a Jewish boy became a son of the commandment, a full member of the synagogue (essentially considered an adult). By that age, many boys had memorized much of the Old Testament. This may seem surprising to us today in Australia, because 13-year-olds today are not considered mature enough for such responsibility. But in many cultures and past generations, children had to grow quickly because their livelihoods depended on it. After the feast, Mary and Joseph began their journey home, assuming Jesus was with their caravan of relatives and friends. After a day of traveling, they realized he was missing. It may seem unbelievable that they lost track of him, but traveling in large groups was common at that time. Women and children often went ahead of the caravan while men followed behind. Mary likely thought Jesus was with his father Joseph, and Joseph assumed he was with Marybut in reality, Jesus had stayed behind in Jerusalem. Imagine the panic of these parents. They searched for him for three days, with questions in their minds: Where is he sleeping? What is he eating? Is he safe? It took three days for Mary and Joseph to find Jesus. Do you recall another important three days of absence in the Bible? Yesthis foreshadows another three-day period: the time between Jesus death and his resurrection. This is the only other time that three days appears significantly in the Gospels. Mary and Joseph finally found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Everyone was amazed at his understanding. When his parents saw him, they were astonished, but also frustrated. Mary spoke first: Child, why have you done this to us? You can hear the emotion in her words. Its the same way a parent might react after finding a lost childrelief mixed with frustration. Well, I wonder if you have ever been lost as a child. (Raise your hand if you have!) A lot of you... and Im thankful that you were found, finally. Or have you ever experienced the fear of losing your own child, even for a couple of minutes in a playground or in a crowd? If you have, then you understand the fear and anxiety that comes with itespecially in an unsafe environment. Thirty-five years ago, this was me at five years old. My mother took me to a crowded bazaar in Tehran, about a 25-minute walk (for an adult) from my father's shop. In the middle of shopping, I let go of her hand and got lost easily in the crowd. My mom searched but couldn't find me, so she ran to my father's shop for help (of course, she didnt have a mobile phone at that time). My father sent his friend on a motorcycle to search for me in that area while I wandered the bazaar trying to find my mom. After about 15 minutes of searching for my mother, I became disappointed and lost hope of finding her. Eventually, I decided to walk back to my father's shop, which was a huge task for a five-year-old. The neighborhood was unsafe and child abductions were common in that area, so my parents were terrifiedand so was I. When my parents finally returned to the shop and saw me sitting on a small chair in the shop, I still remember the pure relief on their faces. But I could also sense their overwhelming worry and exhaustion. My mom said to me, I thought I would never find you and had lost you forever. Jesus Mission Revealed in the Temple So in my story, my parents were filled with the same fear and anxiety because they didn't know where I was or what had happened to me. But with Jesus, it was different. Mary and Joseph were filled with worry; however, Jesus knew exactly where he was and what his purpose was, even at 12 years old. While his parents searched anxiously, he was confidently engaging in his mission, even though his parents didnt fully understand it. He showed a deep desire to know God's Word. He wasn't passively sitting in the temple listening to others, but actively engagingasking thoughtful questions. When Mary asked her son, Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you, Jesus responded, Why were you searching for me? Didnt you know that I had to be in my Fathers house? Jesus responded not with an explanation, but with another questionwhich is the key to this passage: Why were you searching for me? Didnt you know I had to be in my Fathers house? His response wasnt meant to dismiss his parents or ignore their feelings; it was to point them toward a deeper understanding of who he was and why he was there. He gently corrected Mary. She had said your father and I, referring to Joseph, but Jesus made it clear that his true Father was God. His mission, even at 12 years old, was to be about his Fathers business. Mary and Joseph did not fully understand his words at the time, but Mary treasured them in her heart, just as she had done when the shepherds and angels spoke of her newborn baby. So Jesus returned home with them and was obedient to them. He grew in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and people. In fact, Jesus was never losthe knew exactly where he belonged, and it was Mary and Joseph who needed to grow in their understanding. Stepping into the Fathers House Growing up isnt just about our size or age; its about discovering who we are and where we belong. Its also about deepening our relationship with God and reordering our priorities in life. Jesus led his parents to see beyond their earthly home and their earthly expectations. As parents, he calls us to move beyond our comfort zone into the Fathers house and into the expectations that God has for us. Jesus invites each of us to leave our earthly hope behind and step into Gods home every day. Let me ask you a question: What do you need to let go of to follow Jesus more fully during this season of Lent? (This is something personal between you and God.) What do you need to let go of to show your true heart for Jesus? Jesus doesnt just ask us to follow him; he finds us even when we are lost and leads us into the Fathers house. You know why? Yes, you do because he loves us. Because that is where we belong. Mary and Josephs anxious search for Jesus reflects the deep longing that many believers experience when seeking clarity and reassurance in their faith journey. Yet in Jesus response, we find hope hope that even in our confusion, God's plan is unfolding and he is where he is meant to be. Embracing Questions in Our Faith Journey In many cultures (like Iranian or other Middle Eastern cultures), questioningespecially in matters of faith, authority, or traditionis considered uncomfortable, sometimes disrespectful, or even a sign of weakness. Im not sure if you have felt this, but often you hesitate to ask a question because you fear being judged for asking it, and so you stop. In Australias individualistic and independent society, people often hesitate to ask deep questions about the purpose of life or hope for the future because they fear appearing weak. Rather than admitting uncertainty, they prefer to present themselves as strong and self-sufficient. This can leave people struggling in silence when faced with doubt or hardship. Research from Beyond Blue and the R U OK? campaign highlights that many people struggle in silence rather than opening up about their doubts and challenges. A 2015 survey by Beyond Blue found that 1 in 5 Australians thought people with anxiety were just faking it. One in five. This shows the negative attitudes and stereotypes towards getting help. People are scared to ask for help, to open their hearts. And Christians, of course, are not excluded from this struggle. Many believers hesitate to ask deep questionsespecially if they have been believers for more than five or ten years. They hesitate to ask questions about faith, suffering, or the future hope that they have. I have personally seen many Christians who struggle deeply with their faith, not because they didn't love God, but because they had unresolved questions. Some had no one to walk with them, no one to help them process their struggles. Others closed their own hearts, afraid to seek help and answers. Fearing judgment from others or worrying that it may show a lack of faith is common, and this leads some to lose their hope altogether. Over time, their hope faded not because God was absent, but because they didnt have the support or courage to seek answers. However, just as Jesus engaged in deep conversation in the temple, we too should embrace questioning as a path to greater faith and hope. Its not a sign of weakness. If we dont bring our questions or concerns to Godand to those God has placed in our liveswe risk becoming spiritually isolated. And you know what? The enemy wants us to believe that we are alone, that we are isolated. He wants us to feel that nobody understands us. He wants us to feel that questioning is a sign of weakness. But the Bible shows us that questioning God is not a lack of faithits actually part of the journey. David cried out to God in his pain and uncertainty. Job questioned God in his suffering, yet God met him in the midst of those challenges. The disciples often doubted and asked questions, and Jesus patiently guided them through their journey. Here in the temple, Jesus himself is engaging in conversation, asking and answering questions. The way that we live out our Christian faith is directly connected to our understanding of GodHis ways, His plans for us, and the hope that we have for the future. If we refuse to seek understanding, we risk living a faith that is shallow, superficial, and easily shaken by lifes circumstances. And of course, we wont always have all the answers, because some mysteries belong to God alone. But we can strengthen our faith by opening our hearts to the Lord and to those whom God has put in our lives to help and support us. Addressing doubts and uncertainties is part of our Christian journey; its part of the beauty of this journey. When we face difficult questionsnot just theologically complex questions, but deep questions about who we are, who God is, and what His role and plan are in our livesit is the hope we have in Jesus that anchors us and allows us to face uncertainty with faith. There are certain seasons in life when, like Mary, we might ask God, Why have you treated me (or my family) like this? And Jesus responds, Because I love you. Because I love you enough to grow you up, to find you where you are lost, and to bring you with me into the Fathers home. Well, asking questions and seeking answers shapes our faith and the way that we live out our faith. In our reading today, we see 12-year-old Jesus asking questions of the teachers; the teachers asking him questions; Mary asking Jesus a question; and Jesus asking Mary a deep, reflective question. Growing in Faith and Hope Now, let me ask you again: Where will you be in your journey with God this time next year? We dont want to be the same people a year from now. How do you hope to grow in your faith? In the Apostles Creed that we sometimes say together at church to affirm our faith, we declare: Jesus ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father, and one day he will come to judge the living and the dead. Knowing that Jesus reigns at the right hand of the Father, and that one day he will judge the living and the dead, how will this shape our faith? How will this shape our relationships today? How will it shape our perspective in our lives? When we are at work, at school or university, when we are among our colleagueshow will this shape our faith? Well, it should fill us with hope and shape how we live. The promise of Christs return gives us hope in times of hardship and uncertainty, knowing that one day he will bring justice, peace, and restoration. Growing in Wisdom, Stature, and Favor So in verse 52, the last verse of this passage, we read that And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. Jesus himself, being fully God and fully human, grew in wisdom, in physical stature, and in favor with God and people. And today we can grow in these areas as well. Growing in Wisdom: This means deepening our understanding of God. It might involve investing more time in reading the Bible (the Word of God), praying, and learning from others with humilityallowing God to change us. Growing in Stature: This isnt just about physical growth, but also emotional and personal growth. It involves facing challenges with faith and taking care of ourselves as the temple of God. Growing in Favor with God and People: This means strengthening our relationship with God through prayer and worship, while also showing love and kindness to those around us in our daily lives. So, brothers and sisters, no matter where you are in your faith journey right now, remember that God is with us every step of the way. We are not alone. He is faithful to guide us, to lead us, to encourage us, to strengthen us, and to help us grow into the people hes called us to be. Finding True Hope in Jesus Where are you searching for hope right now? What is on your mind? What are you hoping for during this season of Lent? What might God challenge us with today as we search for hope in our lives? Mary and Joseph searched anxiously for their missing 12-year-old, hoping to find him safe. That was their hope. But Jesus was hoping they would truly find out who he is, who he belongs to, and what his mission is. We know that every child is a source of hope for their parents, but it was Jesus mission and identity as the Son of the Father that was the true hope for his parentsand of course, for humanity and for us today. In the same way, we often search for hope in lifes uncertainties. And yet, Jesus invites us to find true and lasting hope in him, knowing who he is and trusting in his purpose for us. Preparing for Communion In a moment, we are going to prepare to come to the Holy Communion table together as a reminder that Jesus died for us, that Jesus was resurrected from the dead, and that Jesus is alive and with us today. But I want to invite you to take a moment to reflect on the passage we read today and the message we heard. We are going to prepare our hearts for the confession prayer that we will say together. I invite you to let the Holy Spirit search your heart right now, especially in this season of Lent. If God reveals something that needs to change in your life, whether its: a sin, a habit that distances you from God, a disappointment, a broken relationship that needs restoration, or even a deep question in your heart, bring it before him with an open heart. Confession is not just about admitting our sins before God; its about drawing near to God with the assurance that our sins are forgiven, that God is merciful and compassionate. As we come to confess, we hold on to this assurance. We come to the table not with fear or disappointment, but in faithreceiving his mercy, his presence, and the hope that we have in Jesus. Compassion and forgiveness belong to the Lord our God. Though we have rebelled and wandered far off, let us then ask for mercy, confessing our sins in penitence and faith. Let us say together: Merciful God, our maker and our judge,we have sinned against youin thought, word, and deed,and in what we have failed to do.We have not loved you with our whole heart.We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.We repent and are sorry for all our sins.Father, forgive us.Strengthen us to love and obey you in newness of life;through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to him in faith,pardon you and set you free from all your sins.Strengthen you in all goodness and keep you in eternal life;through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

There's positives to it as well. Lesley Logan 0:20  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:01  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 implementable convo I had with Jan Schroeder in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to this one, you should go back and listen. It's a perimenopause one, guys, we finally got someone who really is like a wealth of knowledge in this area and on a specific niche of it. And I'm so, so excited for it to hear, for you to hear all of it. So anyways, you're gonna want to listen to this and listen to that. Today is September 12th 2024 and it's Are You Okay Day. So the history of Are You Okay Day, in 1995 Barry Larkin's death by suicide left his family and friends in deep grief and with unanswered questions. In 2009, his son, Gavin Larkin, chose to do something about his father's death. He came up with just one question to honor his father and prevent more suicides: "Are you okay?" Gavin and a few of his friends decided to turn it into a national campaign from this realization and with their expertise and passion, R U OK? was born. So Gavin actually passed away in 2011 but truly held onto the belief that a conversation could change a life. His legacy is now a national conversation movement. R U OK? is a harm and suicide prevention charity that encourages people to have conversations that help others and themselves navigate the difficult times in their lives. You can learn more about R U OK? on the thing, it's really wonderful what they're doing. There's also some really other amazing charities. Our friend, Mai, is actually part of the Nevada suicide prevention.Brad Crowell 2:23  Yeah, it's ruok.org and I think it's ..org.au Lesley Logan 2:28  Awesome. Brad Crowell 2:29  And that's A, not A-R-E, it's the letters R and then the letter U, ruok.org.auSpeaker 1 2:37  There's also, in the States, there's the AFSP and this one, you can learn more about suicide. You can learn how to help prevent it. And usually, different states have their own local organizations of those. So, really important and if you are needing a phone number, 1-800-273-TALK (8255) is the phone number you can call for prevention, lifeline for suicide. And there's also a lot more information on calling it death by suicide or died by suicide, because there's a lot more research around why this is happening, how this is going on. And it's not as selfish as we have come to think. So it's really, really important that you check that out. All right, some upcoming events and travel. Like we said last week, we're kind of sitting around and that and in Las Vegas and enjoying the best time of the weather that is here. But we're also thinking big time about 2025 because it's gonna be here before we know it. And a lot of the things we work on are years in the making. So eLevate, which is our mentorship program, that is something we actually accept applications for early, because it's a big program, and we wanna make sureBrad Crowell 3:39  It's a commitment, it's a, you know, the transformation that you are going to get is massive. Speaker 1 3:45  And it also is something that will continue to change and evolve in your life over time. So it's not like you just do it for nine months and it's over. There's like, more that you get out of it. It's like a fine wine, it just, or a tequila, right? So if you are a teacher interested in our mentorship program, go to lesleylogan.co/elevate and you can learn more about it. You can hear what our past grads had to say. We've now had 49 people do the program, 50 people.Brad Crowell 4:10  Yeah,Something like that. Lesley Logan 4:10  Yeah. And I'm, just because we keep the groups nice and small. So I'm really, really excited for 2025. Also in 2025 is our February Cambodia retreat. Brad Crowell 4:18  Yeah, come join us. Lesley Logan 4:19  Oh, my God.

And we curate the week for you on this retreat. It's really fun. We do breath work. We do a lot of work on life balance and things like that. Plus we get to enjoy a beautiful country. Brad Crowell 4:32  Plus lots of Pilates. Lesley Logan 4:54  Lots of Pilates.

If you're feeling stuck with your money, I want you to come join me for a free webinar that I'm hosting called the Pilates Studio Growth Accelerator. And we're going to be uncovering three big secrets that we've come to realize over the years after having coached more than 2000 businesses coming through our coaching program, join me at prfit.biz/accelerator. That's profit without the O dot biz slash accelerator to sign up for free. Lesley Logan 6:09  All right, before we get into the amazing conversation, I had with Jan about our fitness and perimenopause, we've got an audience question to answer, yes? Brad Crowell 6:16  Yeah, we sure do. "Is the AeroPilates reformer sufficient for reformer training in a small space or a piece of junk, and I should just try to find a legit reformer somewhere else to practice with?" asks @etain.pilates on the YouTube.Speaker 1 6:31  Yeah. So we actually even went deep into discussion, because I had several questions about affordable reformers for home practice and things like that. So there is an actual long form answer to this question, and I'm going to give you a snippet of it, and hopefully, if you need more information, you go watch that. Actually I have two videos. We have one on how to choose reformer for at home, and then we have me answering this question, like, how do I find affordable reformer at home? So I'm not going to call anything junk, especially when I don't know why it was created. Something that's really important to note is that Pilates equipment is typically created for the style of Pilates that's designed to go on it. Just like a treadmill or a bike or, you know, any kind of fitness thing, it is created for the style of work that you're going to do on it. So for me, if you are trying to do Pilates that's more classical or even typical contemporary I'm not talking like athletic reformer, because I don't know more about that. Then I don't know that the AeroPilates is going to be sufficient enough for home practice, because it's going to limit you, and it's going to change things in a way that you can't modify. So the foot bar, for example, it's not going to be the angle you're used to when you teach or you go to a studio, the straps, the handles, the bungee cord versus spring. So I'm not going to say it's junk. I'm going to say that if you are trying to deepen your reformer practice, it's going to be like you don't see sprinters for the Olympics training on ice skates. They don't. Right? It's just, there's nothing wrong with ice skates.Brad Crowell 7:57  I think a better comparison there would be, they're not training in a walking shoe, they're training in a running shoe. Lesley Logan 8:05  Correct. You're correct. Okay, that's a better example.Brad Crowell 8:07  They are certainly not training on ice skates. Obviously, you're you're not going to try to do Pilates on a trampoline.Speaker 1 8:11  Fair, fair, fair, a better analogy. Kind of come up things on the spot, some, they can't all be brilliant, but you're correct. Like, the sprinters are not in, they're not even in regular running shoes but they're in track shoes with like.Brad Crowell 8:11  That's actually the best analogy. They're not training in running shoes, they're training in sprinting shoes.Speaker 1 8:27  We got that, we got we got there, we got there. So what I would say is I would find a studio that you can rent space at and abuse theirs, or I would find a used reformer that truly is more like what you're used to and accustomed to and make it a piece of furniture in your home. People are not expecting homes to look like hotels. They expect homes to look like things you live in, so get the one you like. That's my answer. If you want to get a discount on a Balanced Body or Contrology piece, you can check out opc.me/perks, we do have discount links on all of that stuff. Brad Crowell 8:58  Yeah. And if you're trying to find our YouTube channel, just go to opc.me/yt. All right. Well, thanks for asking that question. If you have questions that you'd like to ask, feel free to text us at 310-905-5534, or hit us up on Instagram. Just that. Mention us and fire away. Stick around. We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 9:17  All right. Now, let's talk about Jan Schroeder. Dr. Jan Schroeder is a professor at Long Beach State University and coordinator of their unique Bachelor of Science in fitness. So you can literally go to college for fitness. And that's. Lesley Logan 9:33  It's like, one of the only places you can do that. Brad Crowell 9:35  I think she said it is the only place. Lesley Logan 9:37  Yes, yes. Oh, shout out to Michelle Sims (inaudible), she connected me with Jan because she said is there anything you need? I'm like, yeah, I need two people. I need people on perimenopause, who do you know?Brad Crowell 9:46  Yeah, so Jan, Dr. Schroeder has a PhD in exercise physiology and she's passionate about educating women on the importance of personalized fitness strategies, overall well-being and self-care during and after menopause. She encourages women to prioritize their health, understand the changes in their bodies, and adapt exercise and lifestyle habits tailored to their physiological, social and psychological needs.Lesley Logan 10:12  Just, okay, was, I found it really enlightening. I felt like there was so much permission. I found like she had so much information. There's a lot of people who are out there now talk about perimenopause, and I'm loving how much advice and information out there. I thought I was like, oh my god, I'm going through it early. I got some help from Femgevity, and I'm not, but I actually do have some support, some bio identicals to just enjoy my life and keep a baseline. But she talked about, like, how we don't really need to, like, go, oh my god, I'm going through this. I can't go, there's so much support out there. But a lot of times the things that we are doing as we go through perimenopause and into menopause are actually giving us reverse results we want. So she specifically took a little lens of fitness. And when you are in perimenopause and post-winter and like, winter menopausal because your hormones change, she advocates that you have to have a holistic approach to combining exercise, nutrition and hormonal management to navigate menopause effectively. And she really gave us some tools on like just adjusting our behavior. So it's not like this negative thing, but actually it supports these changes, because these changes don't have to be a bad thing. There's positives to it as well.Brad Crowell 11:21  Yeah, that was one of the biggest things she was talking about. Is that we only ever seen to hear or talk or think about the negatives, and we very rarely think about the positives of it. Lesley Logan 11:35  I also just want to say, like, I love that what she talked about, like a 40-minute workouts or less, working out in the morning, doing different things that can actually support so that the workouts you're doing are supporting your health, your longevity, your cardiovascular system, your bones, if weight loss is something you're wanting to do, those are all really important things. And the world is set up with these hour-long classes, high-intensity classes, and we've got women over 40 doing these crazy metabolic workouts when really they need some strength. They need some move meditation. And so I was like, patting myself on the back. I'm like, OPC is 30-minute classes, just saying, and you can do when you want.Brad Crowell 12:15  Well, I thought something that was really interesting was she talked about this natural inclination that we have to we, meaning women who are going through menopause, that they have, as they hit menopause, they just stop moving. Lesley Logan 12:30  It's a real it was really interesting. The part of the brain that just goes, okay, I'm not gonna tell you to get up.Brad Crowell 12:35  Yeah, she said the stats are 40% less movement typically as a woman is hitting menopause, and I don't know if that's just built into how we are, or if it's like, oh, this societally adopted thing of like, oh, I hit this phase in my life and I'm gonna just stop now.Lesley Logan 12:52  It did. And she said it doesn't even sound like it was a conscious thing. It's likeBrad Crowell 12:55  (Inaudible) she said women tend to sit more. They're just sitting more. And she said, it's really important to start paying attention to those things using a fitness tracker or a journal, so that you can start to track yourself and be like, oh, wow. I used to get 10,000 steps, and now I'm getting 6000 steps. How did I end up doing that? Right? So we use an aura ring. Can't give you a link to it, really, it's not that easy to do that, but the Oura ring, it connects to your health app on your phone, and it tracks a whole lot of different things. But she said, be mindful. Jot those things down. She said it is actually reduced activity level is dictated by estrogen. So yeah, you're right. It doesn't seem like it's a conscious thing. She explained, the estrogen affects different tissues in the brain, especially the hypothalamus, which is responsible for how much food you eat, how hungry you feel, how much energy you are feeling like you can expend, want to expend. She said, when we take estrogen away through menopause, what the brain does is the hypothalamus cannot regulate these things anymore the way you used to. So it's important for you to consciously regulate them yourself. Be aware of that stuff. So yeah, I mean, I found that really intriguing. Stick around. We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 14:08  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. Jan Schroeder? She advised against long duration cardio workouts during menopause. And y'all, we talked about this about a million times that the 80s were all about running and cardio, and that was how you're gonna lose weight and it has been busted and disproven. That is not reality a million times over. But what I found really interesting was she started to talk about cortisol, and when we hear cortisol, we immediately think negative things. We're like, oh, cortisol bad. And she said, No, actually, cortisol is also good, but we have to regulate how much of it that we have in our system. And as we age, more cortisol is just natural in our bodies. And then through menopause, it can kick it up a notch even more. And she started talking about things like, when are you doing your workout and how are you doing your workout, right? So when she started talking about working out earlier in the day, and then how you're doing your workout, cardio is gonna just add a lot of cortisol. And she said the problem with cortisol is it affects your sleep. You need it in the morning. It gets your brain going. It gets you going. But then in the end of the day, if you're jamming a lot of that, you know, if you're kicking off a lot of cortisol, you're going to have a difficult time sleeping. You're not going to process during sleep, because you're not going to be getting that sleep. And so basically, it becomes a problem if you're adding a lot to it at the end of your day. So she did recommend, this is where she was talking about 40 minutes or less and working out in the morning. And she recommends short bursts of high intensity of interval training to manage cortisol levels that's instead of long, long distance running kind of thing. So what about you? Lesley Logan 15:53  She said, You need to give yourself permission to back down. Oh, my god, are we sensing a theme of this podcast? So you need to give yourself permission to back down. She said, if you're a runner, that's gonna be too intense for you. So walk and put a weighted vest on. And I added a weighted vest to all of my walks. I'm gonna tell you guys, holy freaking molly, even if the walk is short, I'm no longer like, oh, my own we didn't do long enough walk today because it was too hot. Just adding that weighted vest intensified the walk. Brad Crowell 16:19  What did you get, 12 pounds? Lesley Logan 16:20  Not 12 pounds. Yeah.Brad Crowell 16:22  It's in the middle of the road one, right? Lesley Logan 16:23  Yeah, yeah. And I think now, hey, my in-laws, I would like a weighted vest where I can add weights or take them off. That's what I want for Christmas. Okay, but, like, maybe I have to look it up, because I'd like it to be a little sexier than what I've got. This is like the ugliest thing, but it's okay. It's fine. The looks don't matter. But it's those kinds of things, like, give yourself permission, that's going to be okay. We don't have to be at our highest level all the the time to be at our best self. And I thought that was really cool. You don't have to be your highest level all the time to be your best self. Brad Crowell 16:48  I think that is something that's been interesting for me, is being like, hey, today I generally don't feel like I can take on the world when I go to all my workout, right? And then being like, all right, it's all right, if I only do 80% of what I did last week on as far as weightlifting goes, or whatever. Lesley Logan 17:06  Yeah, and by the way, guys, it's called listening to your body. And also, like, if you keep going, wow, I keep feeling like I can't do it, then that's a sign you do that. Like other things are going on. You need to do some other things if you still have your cycle, ladies, I do use an app I have no affiliation to, called wild.ai that actually helps me figure out what kind of workouts I should be doing based on where I am in my cycle, which is really, really cool, because then what I do is I do more high intensity on the first two weeks-ish, and I do a little longer duration, lower intensity on the last two weeks. It has really helped me manage the cortisol as well. So I'm not doing cortisol when I have progesterone coming in, because that is a bad thing, and that's going to affect my sleep. It's going to affect my cycle. So.Brad Crowell 17:46  If all this is foreign language to you, we definitely encourage you to connect with Femgevity who has been helping Lesley really wrap her head around all this stuff and understand it for her body. Lesley Logan 17:56  You can go to beitpod.com/femgevity. Brad Crowell 17:59  Yeah. F-E-M Femgevity. Lesley Logan 18:01  Jan, you're brilliant. You gave us such an amazing look on fitness and perimenopause, and really great tips to just stay strong and stay with energy. And I'll also understand what's going on with our body and not see it as such a negative thing. Thank you so much, y'all. How are we going to use these tips in your life? We want to know, so make sure you can't tag Jan, because she's like, non-social, which I think, how cool is that?Brad Crowell 18:24  So cool. She's a professor. That's amazing. She also still teaches.Lesley Logan 18:27  She still teaches fitness, yeah, but tag the Be It Pod and then do me a favor, share this with a woman in your life. The thing that is so fascinating to me is that, how many women older than me did not have this information? And no, it wasn't out there. There wasn't a lot of research and we're doing more research now. But also, if we talk about this stuff, then it forces people, companies, other people, to find information for us. We get to demand what they talk about, by the way. So please share this with a friend so that we can change more women's lives and make going through perimenopause and endomenopause, and our years after that really thriving.

Day and it's when we bring awareness to the importance of mental health and remind ourselves the steps to check in on our family & friends who we think might be struggling.

You can ask anyone if they're okay on any day of the year but since mental health is so important, Mia wanted to help amplify the message!
