Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, I can do all that. I'm very fucking physically fit.
Right I'm running. I'm training for a fucking ultramato. I
just ran twenty miles last weekend. I just ran. I'm
running sub seven minute miles. I can deadlift twice my
body weight. I can jump. I can box jump. I
don't know. Maybe I'll go test it tonight to see
what I can box jump. But I can box jump
three or four feet, you know, like all these all

(00:21):
of these things. I can do pull ups, push ups.
But because I don't have the big biceps and abs,
I'm inferior and I'm not fit, and I'm in no
way qualified to help people.

right now. I mean like carbs are fucking life right.
It's like okay, yeah, you forget when I and the
depth of it, how like much weaker I was, you know,
And now I'm just like, wow, yeah, we're doing like

(02:07):
rest pause sets, okay, and my ass is getting kicked
like I can barely lift my fucking arm today. I'm
just like, you know, just really pushing myself and it
feels real. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, So you have been crushing it in the gym lately,
I know, I really have crushing your fitness.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Crushing that's that's my that's my joy right now. Honestly,
it's like crushing in the gym and just seeing like
I actually prd my what is it? The incline dumbbell bench? Uh,
and those are hard because in an incline, you know,
anything overhead. Fuck. But I was able to do forty
by nine and I've never been able to get to

(02:49):
nine before, so I was kind of pumped by that. Yeah, yeah,
it was.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
I could say, Yeah, I was holy shit. You could
see the struggle the ground.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, you can see the grind and.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
I'm embracing the grind you've you've probably seen and we've
talked about here on the podcast. Yeah, I'm full, like Jim,
let's go, let's get strong.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I love it. Matt and running too, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, it just feels good, it does.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
I know that trail run with Mandy not too real
quick because we did a longer one. We did the
Camden Hills State Park, which is literally all uphill to
get to the lodge. I don't know if you've ever
done that with us.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Camden which what is it Camden Hill State.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Camden Hill State Park. We have hiked the other side
of it, on the Lincolnville side, but there's.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
No, that's not when we did our Influencer in the Woods.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Series, No, no, that was that was something else. But
this was really hilly and we did it and we
didn't over four miles in like less than an hour.
And I was like, I can't believe we got to
the lots already. She's like, I know, that was so fast.
It's just it feels so good to be really fucking
strong and just I don't know, not feel like weak ass.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's like a weak ass bitch.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, I just feel like I feel like I feel
like this is the I'm at the top of my
game right now. I mean legitimately, like I'm getting there,
you know what I mean? It good.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Well, I'm here for that. Beth like, yeah, fifty, what
are you? Fifty one?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
It could be fifty three in December.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
You're fifty wow? Okay, yeah I'm thirty nine. Yeah, Like
we're not. We're we're not peaked yet. We're still crushing.
We're right seeing what our final form is like yet
for our fitness. Yeah, I love it. I love it.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Right, and for people, for those people listening, you have
to understand that like when you wherever you start, right,
your your journey is continuing, like I'm continuing to level up.
Like as you follow me, as you see me, and
you'll see we're changing, We're morphing in whatever way, you
know what I mean. And if you look back at

(04:56):
the Beth that was making content in twenty twenty, she's
a lot different than the Beth now. And my journey
with fitness and coaching has been my journey as well. Yeah,
within the coaching experience that I've had, it's been my
own journey as someone growing and becoming better too. Right
in front of you, I'm doing it with you, guys.

(05:17):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yes? You are? We are we Yeah, like we we
evolve and it's on full display for everybody.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Right.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
We've been doing the coaching thing, now what since twenty twenty,
twenty nineteen, so like, okay, we've got some time and
experience under our belt here doing it our fitness to
our own seasons of life. Definitely a lot different and
different isn't a bad thing, right, Finding to challenge ourselves
and having fun doing it, That's what it's all about Yeah, yeah,

(05:49):
I love that. So you're getting strong, You're embracing your back.
I wouldn't say you're not. You're embracing running. You've always
been about running, but you're you're catching the running bug again,
crushing your runs, your weekly runs. I think I saw
that there was like six or seven hundred feet of
elevation you had on that trail run, so or something
like that. Yeah, yeah, mm hmm, yeah, I uh, let's see.

(06:15):
I'm all on board with like the strength train too.
I am so back in love with strength training again.
It's official, like it's not going anywhere, you know, And
and I really want to start powerlifting again. But I'm
not going to jump the jump the gun yet. I'm
still on my baseline and everything. But yeah, feeling good.

(06:36):
I accidentally trained seven days a week last week. And
I say accidentally because that wasn't my plan. So my
plan is five days a week of running with two
days of strength training three if I'm able to do
it and if I'm feeling good, if I'm able to
make it work in my schedule. But mister Riker here,

(06:57):
my son, my teenage boy, is pushing me. He's pushing me.
Because he just fent. He just finished up golf last
last Monday was his last mon so right away, all right, well,
let's it's time to go get strong in the gym,
he says. I'm like, okay, let's fucking go, you know,
all right, and he's like, I want to get faster,
stronger for baseball. Like, okay, well, let's we got plenty

(07:18):
of time. So two days to two times. Last week
he asked me if we could go to the gym,
and I wasn't planning on. It wasn't part of my plan.
You know, I'm not going to tell my fifteen and
a half year old son.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Oh yeah, totally.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Who the fuck am I to tell him no when
he wants to go to the gym and get.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Strong, right, that's the same thing I would do.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
So I'm tired, God damn it, but I'll go.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah. So I made it work, and so the two
extra days I just kind of scaled back what I
was doing with him. I trained him more so than myself,
but I still got some good quality movement in. Yeah.
So it's just really really invigorating, I suppose. So it's
all kind of coming together. I'm what three or four
weeks now into this whole power getting back into the

(08:01):
strength training. Yeah, getting you know, just real intentional with
my training again with that. Yeah, so it feels good.
It feels good. Little little humble brag here this morning
for myself too. I had a Temple run this morning,
five mile Temple run, two mile warm up with two
miles out of tempo pace, and then a one mile
cool down. I crushed, crushed, crushed, crush to the Temple Run.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Nice run.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
I set a PR in my one mile time six
minutes and seconds.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh damn.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
And then I set a PR in my two mile
time as well, which was like thirteen fifty six or something.
So I'm sum now I'm averaging less than seven minutes
per mile for distance, damn. And I'm not even training
for speed right now. I'm training for endurance and just
maintaining a hard effort. I'm really I'm just feeling really

(08:53):
good about where I'm at. Thirty nine years old, faster, stronger.
You're fifty two years old, getting faster, stronger, That's what
it's telling about. Oh, I know for sure, I'm excited.
After this training block, I've decided to close out the year.
I'm going to do a five and ten k training
block after my endurance training to really dial in my

(09:14):
speed and see what I can do with that before
I go all into power lifting next year and work
on a more hybrid more even more so hybrid approach
with running in strength training. So nice. Yeah, yeah, I
think right now, I think I could get a twenty
one minute five k. Yeah, I think I could. I'm

(09:36):
going to find out in November because I'm going to
do the Turkey trot at the end there. The Thanksgiving
Day is when they do that.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
I did it last year too when I was sick.
So yeah, yeah, love and training right now.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
It's fun. M HMM's actually fun right now.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yes, that's what it should be, right, Like the way
you move your body should be in for you. You should
enjoy what you're doing. I think that's where so many
people go wrong with their fitness is they're doing things
they don't enjoy. They're putting themselves through grueling workouts that
they just hate every moment of. Like, we love this shit,
we love getting strong, we love running, we love all
these things. So that doesn't mean that like that not

(10:17):
everybody's gonna love it. But no, you still got to
find that thing that you do love and then still
get strong because that is still important.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Right, And it's okay to love something and not want
to do it all the time either, because you know
what I mean, Like I may love lifting, but I
still sometimes will sit in my car and be like, fuck,
I gotta go in there because I know what I
have to do.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, I go do this hard thing, you know.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
So yeah, I was just thinking this morning, and I
made a story about it. And it's like, sometimes it's
okay to be annoyed about the shit that you have
to do to be healthy, right, because I find myself,
you know, I get annoyed a lot. I'm just like, fuck,
I got so much do every day. It's like it's

(10:59):
the same thing every day. But it's like I am
in like a panic trying to do all this stuff
every day, right, And but what other choice do I have?
The latter choice of just being a lazy fuck going
through the drive through and just treating myself and my
family like trash, do you know what I'm saying. So

(11:19):
it's like the small inconveniences which aren't really It's like
I'm on autopilot, but sometimes you know, I'm thinking I
just don't want to do this shit anymore, Like I
just want to be a lazy fuck. You know, I'm
not that type of person, but in my mind, I'm like,
why can't I just be a lazy fuck? So I and.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
There's a time and a place when you can be
a lazy fuck. Yeah, obviously yourself do that.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
But just know that, you know, obviously like being mindful
and intentional with your choices. You know, it can be annoying.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
It's like, does this actually that I'm gonna take serve me?
Is it gonna help me? Is it gonna help me
feel better? Or gonna help me feel worse? Yeah, you're
gonna help me get closer to my goal? Or is
it not? Is it gonna get me further away from it? Right?
That's very black and white thinking, for sure, But I
think sometimes honestly, we need to fucking think think of
things of black and white as well. Yeah, and find
me balance and all the other colors. But sometimes it's

(12:15):
either a yes or no.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
You know, you have to think too, why are we right?
Like why do we feel so chaotic? Like? Why do
I feel so chaotic? Like I can make this easier
for myself, right, Like maybe I should prep my pancakes
the night before so they're already ready in the morning,
already have my son's lunch ready, but I don't, So
that's on me. But we can make things easier on ourself.

(12:38):
But it's also okay to be annoyed. Yeah, you know,
it's also very It's a different world we're living in now.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
I was.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
I thought this as I went into Walmart the other day,
and everything looked like I was in a fucking arcade.
Like the food aisles looked like an arcade to me,
like all the bright labels, different colors. It was like
the snack Kyle, like the snack Aile was like this
fucking exotic. It's getting those kind of crazy. And when
I think back to the seventies when I grew up

(13:09):
in the eighties, like snacks were like have an apple
and a fucking banana, or you know, you need to
wait till dinner. You don't need you don't need anything,
you don't need a snack, Like literally, like snacks were
non existent almost, you know, And now it's like fucking
snacks are everything, and so we are we have to
fight the convenience at the same time. So you know,

(13:30):
there's a lot of things sometimes going against us in
this current world that we're living.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Our environment is not set up to allow us to
be successful and to be helped.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, and so I think it's also that consistent having
to be intentional because of all that too, is it's
a mind fuck.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, absolutely, our environment is not set up in a
way that's going to allow us to be successful. Society
certainly isn't. So we Yeah, we need to take do
these things ourselves, and that's annoying. Yeah, it's annoying that
we have to prioritize protein and fiber. Let me, it
is very annoying for me right now, Beth, I have

(14:09):
not to prioritize protein in quite some time. Yeah, it
is annoying for me because now I am it's annoying
almost two hundred grams of protein a day. Okay, I
am annoyed by it, but I'm fucking doing it. I'm
making my protein shake. I'm exactly getting more protein with
my meals. You know, it's annoying, it is, But.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
It's also annoying not feeling your best and performing your best.
So we have to think about that too, Like, what
would you rather feel annoyed by the fact that you
feel fucking great and look great and you're performing like
you're a fucking badass beast. Yeah, and you have to
do a little bit of you know, hard shit to
do that. Or would you rather be a lazy fuck
and feel like absolute trash and perform like a perform

(14:52):
like a baggage?

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Do I want to feel like I am right now
it's a file pr or do I want to see
big ball of dicks right like bag of dicks? The
choice is clear.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
I feel like either way it's going to be hard.
So choose your fucking hard, bitch.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yes, choose your herd or hard will be chosen for
you from life and you're not going to like the
herd that life chooses for you. Mm period. Choose your
struggle or struggle will be assigned.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah it's true, so true.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah, I love it. I love it. I'm here for it.
We're all fired up today, feeling good, I know. Right.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
I also have this speech that I'm speaking engagement that
I have to record, and I have to talk about
something to do with sleep. Okay, so hear me out.
That is not my specialty. So I'm having to do. Okay,
this is where my ADHD brain either is like going
for me or against me, and it's fighting me every
single day that I know I have to do a

(16:00):
lot of research and also create slides. Right, So what
do I do? I wait till the last minute. Okay,
I'm not there. I'm not there yet, but I'm close
because that's that ship. So yeah, the last few weeks
I've known about this, I'm still not I'm still in
the beginning stages of this motherfucker. Okay. And I struggle

(16:24):
with myself about that, and I will I did this
in school when I was a teenager, Like continuously throughout
my life, I will think about the thing that I
need to do and stress the fuck out about it
until it's absolutely like crunch time, and then I'll just
then and then I'm like, oh my god, I just
wrote the best thing in my entire fucking life, Like, Yeah,
why do I do this to myself?

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Matt, I don't know. Well, it's the it's the ADHD traits.
Is what that is, and that I mean And then
the executive dysfunction like that is so often associated with
ADHD as well, and it's usually you know, result of
our environment growing up that we were exposed to as well.
But no, I hear you. It's it's that procrastination, that

(17:07):
waiting till the last moment, getting anxious about it, working
it up to be this big thing. Right, I'm hearing you.
Right now, I'm reading five second rule.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
You read the ft Mel Robbins a little bit. It's
like when she's like, okay, like about the sleeping in bed,
like five four three she want to get up?

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Yep, yeah, touch after. So that's our book of the
month for our Fifth's Strong book Club. So we're already
that together and it's really resonating, really resonating with me.
So I've been actually using it already, like yeah, get
the fuck out of bed five four three two one
go let's go, bitch, like like what like what are
you gonna do? You know? Four three two one? Get
your fucking running shoes on. You know, it's not the action,

(17:46):
it's not the end result that we're looking for. We're
not associated, we're not attached to the end result. We're
it's it's getting up and doing the thing that matters.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
When's the when's the the presentation?

Speaker 2 (17:59):
It's the first through the second of November. But I
have to get everything in by like the twenty fourth
of October.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Focus on like sleep, hygiens sleep sleep.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
My thought is I have a title, so it's called
rest Assured, and it's how to help clients.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Crazy sleep.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, how to help other clients create sleep routines that stick.
And so I'm keeping it so fucking simple, Matt, because
you know what, I'm simple. I'm not. I don't have
a fucking PhD. I'm just talking from like a coach
that owns a business that helps other people like crazy.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Experience helping clients do this shit.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
And so I brought some of our stuff that we
have that we use for our clients, and then I'll
just talk. I'll just I'll get some case studies, maybe
even myself, and just you know talk. Like coach Peggy
gave me a great idea of setting a bedtime alarm clock.
M I was like, Okay, that's a good you know.
So I'm just collecting data and I'm just going to
put it together and just make a simple like yah,

(18:58):
you know, it's gonna be behavior mindset related for sure.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
One thing I have found that that really helps my
clients when we're there's most people struggle with sleep hygiene
and sleep right sleep routines. It's like phone detocs at
the end of the night, thirty minutes before bed, turn
your fucking phone off, put it on the other side
of the room, no screen time, do some light stretching
journal at the end of the night, right. Like, that's

(19:22):
one thing that I really that I really like that
I found. Yeah, kind of related. I don't think you'll
talk about this in your talk, but some clients of
mine have been giving me some awesome feedback on the
nightcaps from Cured more more more My clients are starting
to take the nightcaps from Cured.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
I mentioned Kristen a couple of times now. Yeah, she's
been taking the nightcaps and she's been regularly noticing her
sleep quality, her sleep scores improving on her her I
think that she has. Yeah. And then my other client,
Danny mentioned to me just on her call the other
day she's she's going through menopause and she's just are
taking the nightcaps as well, and she's noticing that she's

(20:04):
sleeping more soundly throughout the night.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yeah, So like night nightcaps for the wind from Cure Nutrition.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yeah, see. I wish I could bring that kind of
stuff into my talk, but I'm like, I wanted to
stay away from the supplement thing totally. You can go
it could be like, you know, because that's the thing
I want to, like go melatonin, And I don't want
to be that one, be like you should be doing
this and that because everyone's different, you know. But yeah,
I wish I could be like, take take a fucking

(20:34):
tells me. I'm sure I can mention that. I think
I'm going to use myself as a case study and
just talk about like when I started struggling with sleep
and you know what I did about it.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, relate your personal experience for sure.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
But yeah, I guess a quick shout out to Cured
real quick. We love the products, clients are loving the products.

podcast to get HP super focused. Here.

Well I'm I'm pumped for you to do that talk
the little presentation.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, of course, I was like, uh, this is not
my comfort zone. I want to say no. And then
I'm like, shut the fuck up.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Thing.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, And of course the brain is like, this is
not your fore tape both and and then I'm like,
you know, yeah, this is not your thing.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
It's not your thing until you do the thing, then
it is.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
That's a thing. It's like, Okay, stop being such a
little bitch.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Stop with the mindset bullshit.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Mm hmmm, Emma, you don't know enough. Why are you
doing this type ship It's.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, yep, self limiting beliefs. Your brain's trying to talk
you out of doing it right. Your your brain doesn't
want you to do those things.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Mm hmmm yep, exactly.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Not all right, So so we I think we have
some things to talk about here today. That that are
that are on our mind more probably rants style. I
guess where do we want to start with this? I guess.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
So good question.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
I guess we can start with my own experience. What's
been going on with me? Yeah, first and foremost, Like
you should know, everybody listening by now should know that
we are more than about just the way your body
looks here. We are all about like what you can
do with your body, getting strong, feeling your body feeling good.
And if you want to lose weight, you want to
get shredded, you want to grow muscle, awesome, that's where

(23:07):
we're here to support you in all of that. But
it's so much more than just the way you look.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
So I guess what I'm saying is fitness doesn't have
a look. You can't look at somebody and be like,
oh my god, that person's fit, that person's healthy. I mean, sure,
you can. You see somebody that's shredded, got the abs, like, yeah,
they have the look, right, But there's so much more
than just the way you look when it comes to fitness. Yeah,
and that's really you know, I think as a society

(23:36):
we need to we need to get behind that and
and start understanding that, and unfortunately social media does not
help us in that regard. You know, social media with
fitness influencers, everybody's got the look you you look the
one way you're really lean. You've got the toned, chiseled look,
the musks, the muscles, the abs and everything like that.
And that's what's so often sold sold as being fit

(23:59):
and being healthy. Right, But you can be healthy and
fit in anybody, in a larger body, in a smaller body.
You can be unhealthy and unfit in a small body
and a larger body. So I guess I want to
say that. So, yeah, I've been getting body shamed like ridiculous,
ridiculously this past week and s bizarre for such a

(24:22):
bizar reason. Yeah, it's insane. So I'm getting body shamed
relentlessly for like the past week, and it's on Facebook
where it's happening, and all because I made a video
stitching Mike Ohearn, who is a famous professional bodybuilder, who
was doing a really shitty job coaching a client, not

(24:44):
giving good cues, and then he the client wasn't understanding him.
He got frustrated and said, I work with mentally retarded,
mentally retarded people is what he said. I'm like, Okay,
what the fuck? So I made a video about it, like, hey,
this is not okay, this is wrong, Like he this coach,
This guy just because he's a professional bodybuilder, has big muscles,
doesn't mean he knows what he's talking about. Like he's

(25:07):
poor communicator. He's clients struggling to understand him. Also, he's
just doubling down and repeating himself. You would think that
I cussed out everybody's mama or something, or you know,
like all these guys on Facebook, because I'm getting I
don't look right. I don't I'm skinny, I'm scrawny, I
don't have any muscle. I don't look like I know

(25:28):
what I'm talking about. I call myself a fitness trainer.
I call myself a personal trainer. How can I do
that when I look the way that I do and
it's got I mean, it's so much worse than that, too, right,
I've received literally one guy was like, is that where
you live? Like you should be careful about what you
say on the internet. I'm like, yeah, you want my address, motherfucker?
Like what are you gonna do about it? You know?

Speaker 2 (25:47):
So fucking right. People have lost their mind.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Another person told me that they hope I get cancer
and die. Another person literally said to unlive myself. It's crazy, crazy,
the amount of body shaming that is just normalized, and
how it's all about your looks. How dare I call
out this bodybuilder because he's jacked. Yeah, he's a professional bodybuilder.

(26:14):
He knows what he's talking about. I don't know what
I'm talking about because I'm not a bodybuilder, right. Fitness
isn't bodybuilding like body bodybuilding is can be is fitness,
for sure, but fitness is not just bodybuilding.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Fitness is for everyone.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Fitness is for everyone. And if we're going to get technical,
and I'm going to the CDC, which is defines fitness
and this is the most widely accepted term for fitness, Nerdal,
what would you say that they define fitness as just
just a guess not to put you on the spotlight.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Here, people that are physically active on a day to
day basis, uh, you know kind of like, yeah, a
physically active person doing physically active things. I don't in
a like I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yes, no, that's pretty spot on. So this he defines
fitness as the ability to perform daily tasks with and alertness,
without excessive fatigue, and with enough energy to enjoy leisure
activities and respond to emergencies. Nowhere in there does it
say you've got to be a bodybuilder, you have to
have seventeen inch biceps, you need to have six pack

(27:20):
abs in order to be fit. Nowhere in there.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
So you know and prepare for emergencies would be like, Okay,
you should be able to run.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
He run, You should be able to be like.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Okay, grab your fucking kid, and you need to get
the fuck out of here. You need to.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
You know, you fall, right, That's what that that type
of stuff means. Yeah, Hello, I can do all that.
I'm very fucking physically fit. Right. I'm running. I'm training
for a fucking ultramating I just ran twenty miles last weekend.
I just ran. I'm running sub seven minute miles. I
can deadlift twice my body weight. I can jump. I
can box jump. I don't know, Maybe I'll go test

(27:58):
it tonight to see what I can box jump. But
I can box jump three or four feet, you know,
like all these all these things. I can do pull ups,
push ups, but because I don't have the big biceps
and abs. I'm I'm inferior, and I'm not fit, and
I'm in no way qualified to help people. And like,
first of all, I'm not even coaching bodybuilders. I have
no desire to coach bodybuildings, bring bodybuilders. That's not what
I'm about, not saying that. That's like if you're if

(28:21):
you want that, shoot awesome, go hire a bodybuilding coach.
That's I'm not your guy. If you want to live healthy,
you want to be strong, you want to improve your
body composition, improve your health, I'm your fucking guy, you know.
And the irony me being shamed for my body and
not being fit is in that video Mike O'Hearn stood
up from a bench and he was that he was

(28:42):
gasping for air, Like that's not fit. Motherfucker's out of
breath standing up.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Right, come on, he probably coudn't even run a mile
or the stop signing back right.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Yeah, yeah, I mind the fact that, like you know,
body building is notorious for picking gear and steroids. Right,
that's not fucking health. No, we have such a distorted
picture of what health it truly is. Yeah, here's the thing,
Like I have been body shamed for so long. Nerdal

(29:18):
have you been Have you ever been body shamed? I'm
sure you have.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Well I've had people pick apart my body. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying, like why do you have you
you have the creases in your armpit? Like me? Like
people just like saying weird shit like why would you
fucking dm me that? Mm hmm yeah, like about my armpit? Fat?
Like what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you
know what I mean? But I think also women get

(29:45):
shamed for having a nice body. Yeah, like Natalia, I
mean that yesterday. I you know, I I you know,
received that, but not like that to that intent intensely,
like how you know you have time to do all
this stuff and it's you know, no one can get
like that with having a busy life. It's like, no,

(30:07):
you can. Actually there's a lot of victim mindset and
you know that kind of stuff going on, like people
thinking they can't become their best self or that you
need to really do things crazily to do that, and
then you have to give up basically give up your
entire life. It's that's not true.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Absolutely not living a fit lifestyle. You don't have to
give up your entire life. Like it's not about working fit.
It's about living fit, Like you can live a fit
lifestyle without having to be a bodybuilder.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
And I think people don't understand that it doesn't need
to be this extreme thing. No, God, Like, I know.
I originally got into waightlifting when twenty thirteen, I think
is the first time I really started going to the
gym regularly. And I took like a one year break
in the middle of that, like around twenty fifteen, and

(31:05):
got back into in twenty sixteen. Maybe it was in
twenty twelve when I started strength training. I don't remember,
but my priorities for getting into the gym were pretty
fucked right, Like, I felt that pressure of needing to
look a certain way. So I went to the gym

(31:25):
to get the chiseled abs, to get the big biceps,
to get the chest, all those things that society think
says that men need to have, right, And I also
thought that by doing those things it would make me happy,
people would like me more. And here's the kicker, I
would be able to get a girlfriend. That I was
doing it for girls, right, So right away I was

(31:48):
starting I was trying to change my body for all
the wrong reasons. And I got those things. I got
the six pack abs, I got the big biceps, I
had the chisel chest. I didn't have the I didn't
have the happiness. I didn't have all the things that
I thought I was going to when when I got
those things right, Because I was doing for the wrong reasons.
I was changing myself out of place, out of not discussed,

(32:13):
but just changing my place, like changing myself for all
the wrong reasons, doing the work for all the wrong reasons,
because like yourself. Really, yeah, I wasn't doing it for myself, yes, exactly.
And I struggled with that for years, and that showed
itself in the way that I treated my body and
the way that I fueled my body too, Like I

(32:34):
struggled with disordered eating for years, trying to maintain that look,
trying to keep that look of staying super lean, of
staying one hundred and seventy hundred and seventy five pounds
and staying lean. But guess what, I wasn't healthy. I
was regularly binging. I was fasting for days on end
and then binging for days on end. I was drinking

(32:54):
copious amounts of alcohol, hiding it from my coach, but
it was fitting my macros or was manipulating my macros
to make it work. Right. I was not healthy at
my leanist, you know. And I wasn't even my fittest
at my leanest either. I'm much more fit now than
I was back then. I wasn't doing cardio. Back then,
I was just going to the gym, brom. I wasn't

(33:19):
doing cardio. That was actually one of the things that
attracted me to the coach I was working with at
the times, Like, you don't have to do any cardio.
I'm like, fucking sign me up. Yeah that's not health.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Right, sign me up, No cardio.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Cardio, and I can have alcohol. Actually, my coach did
call me out about my alcohol and take at that time,
but I still have the email to prove it. But yeah,
like you need to do something about your weekend drinking
because I was taking down drink of of Keystone light
and any of the other type of shitty beer light.

(33:53):
What I did, I was like, Okay, well I'm not
going to drink a thirty pack anymore, but you know
what I'm gonna do whiskey just now as many calories
I can get drunk quicker. Right. That was not healthy. Yeah,
but I was at my leanest, I had the look
that was not fucking healthy. I had disordered eating, severe
body dysmorphia, hated my body, super insecure, doing things to

(34:17):
try to get like, I went down so many bad
relationships in the name of like the vanity, the vanity
side of things. Right, it wasn't good, wasn't healthy. Yeah,
I don't know where I'm going with that, but I
guess that's my own personal kind of experience with that. Yeah,
so fit doesn't have a look. No, and more importantly,

(34:38):
we need to stop commenting on fucking people's bodies, Like
why is it so?

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Like, why are we dissecting other people's bodies? It's really
fucking weird, you guys, Like really weird. Like you know,
I know that people will like screenshot pee other people
and like fucking dissect your body. It's you guys, seriously,
like the things that I see in my DMS or
I get my DMS of just like how or why
did you see that or where?

Speaker 1 (35:02):
You know?

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Are you screenshotting my story so you can fucking like
enlarge it and see what's in the background.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Absolutely, do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Like that's fucking weird.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Yeah, right, and that literally happened with me was just recently.
There's the guy's like, is this where you live? Be careful,
like you know.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Right right right, I have to be careful of like
if I have, like, uh, my my front yard, if
my car, my license plate or the number of my
house or you know, it's because of people's like will
be like, oh, I didn't know that was in your
house or something like what do you mean? And then
I'm like, I'll do that's my own video or my
own thing. And I'm like, they have to screenshot that

(35:39):
and enlarge it to see that.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
Gig Gig dig dig too, like some of the guys
they were sending me screenshots. The ironic thing is the
one guy went back three years you must have been
scrolling my picture quite sometime, went back three years and
found the picture of me summoning Mount Gitat in the
first time, and he used that as the example of
me being a little bait. Sowy boy is what he
called me. And I'm like, dude, if I'm like, you

(36:04):
could never do what I did on that hike, I said,
I summitted Mount Kattan with a busted fucking knee and
well and was well on a busted knee for twelve
fucking hours and required stitches and staples and he got infected.
I said, you would never, you would never, And thank
you also for going back three years in time. And
that must have taken you quite some time to try
to dispair.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
That's mama's basement. Crazy people shit. Okay, yeah, if you
have that much time to do that to somebody online,
your shit is fucked up. Dude, Like you need help,
You legitimately need a fucking life. Okay, yep, wow, one
eight hundred fucking go see a therapist.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah, absolutely, absolutly fucking crazy. So like the levels that
And here's what I've been reminding myself of because literally
five hundred plus comments on that one video and they're
all crazy. They're all middle aged men taking their shots
at me. Okay, five hundred plus comments, and I just had.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
To support somebody that was actually shaming their client, and like,
I don't understand how that makes any sense. So they
were trying to like back up this big bodybuilder guy.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
I'm like, you guys are like coping and simping for
this professional bodybuilder who doesn't know that you exist and
couldn't give two fucks about you and has made it
perfectly clear what he thinks about people like you, but
keep defending him.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
So weird.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
But I've been reminding myself is like these guys are losers,
like they are very hell yeah their life, because you're
not going to try to go the lengths that they
are going to bring somebody down, yeah, and try to
make them feel small and little.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Right, Well, this is the state of our United States
country right now.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
So it's sad but true. It's so sad but true.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
This is what we're dealing with.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
It's becoming more and more normalized to comment on people's bodies,
to associate a certain look with being healthy. Right. I mean,
we have some people in charge of making decisions our
country that are regular, like like drinkers and smokers and
things like that, right, like telling us how to be
healthy and making decisions for us. It's like, no, but

(38:10):
they look they look the part. Right, Just because you
look one way doesn't mean that you know what you're
talking about. It doesn't mean that you're fucking show me
your blood work, show me your your your your lab work,
you know your your mark, your your hormone panels ever,
your blood right, what's your what's your cholesterol, what's your
blood pressure, what's your heart rate? What's your very your

(38:31):
heart rate variability? Right, Like, show me all those things.
That's what matters. You can't see that. You can't look
at somebody and just know what's inside of them, what's
what their bodies like inside? No, just super ignorance.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
We gotta do.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Better, we really do.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
But that and thing and and here's why. And I
also want to say, like, this is why I talk
about it, and this is why I'm talking out about it,
and this is why I will continue talking about and
this is why I give it right back to the trolls,
because I absolutely give it right back to the trolls.
You know, you're gonna try to pick my body apart
game on, I'm going to do it right back to you.

(39:12):
You know. But I have been dealing with this for
a very long time. I've learned how to deal with it.
I got bullied as a kid. I've always been bullied
my entire life. You know, this is nothing new to me.
I learned a long time ago how to how to
deal with these things. But not everybody does. Your average person,

(39:33):
our listeners, our followers, our clients, they might not be
able to handle it right, especially when we're receiving comments
from family members, from friends. So that's why I speak
out about it, and that's why I call these people out,
because I want them to understand that everybody experiences this
and it's not a reflection of you personally. It's a

(39:54):
reflection a projection from the person that's giving you and
saying these things and doing these I want people to
know like they're not alone in this. Yeah, if you've
received negative comments about your body, the way it looks,
whatever it is, your health status, it's not a reflection
on you. And that further shows why it's so fucking

(40:16):
important to do this for the right reasons. To go
down this health and fitness journey for the right reasons.
You cannot. You will never be able to please everybody.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Now.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
I have been body shamed at my heaviest when I
was two hundred fifty pounds. I was body shamed at
my leanist when I was one hundred and seventy pounds,
and I get body shamed now when I'm one hundred
ninety hundred ninety five pounds. I've been body shamed when
I was able to dead lift five hundred pounds. I've
been body shamed in every aspect of my life, every
step of the way. No matter where i was at

(40:49):
with my fitness journey, I'm either too skinny not strong enough.
I've never experienced what it's like to be overweight. People
like to tell me that. I'm like, no, actually, I
have all these things.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
M hm.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
So you so you've got to be You've got to
change for the right reasons for yourself, for your family. Yeah,
anything else doesn't matter because people are always going to
find something, some way to tear you down and ship
on you. That is the unfortunate reality. Yeah, Like, if
your body lets you do the things that you love.

(41:23):
If you if your body lets you move, lift, run, hike,
go dancing, that's fitness. To me, your health, that's health
right like you're That's big component of health is doing
the things that you enjoy and being free to move
without restriction. That's health. That's fitness. Doesn't have a look yep,

(41:46):
absolutely crazy. So and I know too, like many clients.
I've worked with, many clients that that start their journey
because it's coming out of shame. I've got I've got.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
Can't shame your health, right you kidness guys.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
You can't. You can't yourself to loving yourself?

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Yeah, you can't.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
No, Like, I've got a I've got my family, I've
got a class reunion coming up, and I just want
to look my best and I just want to show
show off and things like that, right, Like Okay, Like
do you really want to go down that route to
try to make a bunch of people from high school happy?

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Right?

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Right? Like? No, the antidote is self respect. It's not
self criticism, it's not shame. And I think the bigger
thing is like finness industry profits off of our insecurities,
right by us feeling like we're not enough. I mean,
this is kind of a common theme for us when
we're talking about like like women and being targeted with

(42:41):
like the GLP one medications. Right. Oh yeah, finness industry
influencers and these pharmaceutical companies are profiting off of people's
insecurity by getting like, lose that your last ten to
fifteen pounds, take this microdose, just get you know.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
That's the most disgusting part of this whole uh microdosing
the GLP one thing is that's what makes me the
most angry is the the just volatile playing off people's insecurities, vulnerabilities,
praying on women and like their menopause and perimenopause and

(43:18):
the fact that they want to be skinny. It's so
fucking toxic, like it makes me. It makes me disgusted,
like even more with the wellness industry. I even more
than ever, cannot stand scrolling social media because even the
people that I thought I liked or knew disgusted me.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Now I've been Actually I'm feeling a lot of resentment
towards the fitness industry and.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Say mad same think highly of I'm just like, you
know what, I think everyone's an asshole and everyone's a
fucking like like who, like, what the fuck are you doing?
Like I legitimately just want to help people. I I
And when people call me an influencer and stuff, I
get so mad because I am not on there to

(44:02):
be an influencer. I'm just a coach in Maine that
worked in an in person gym for five years. That's
a recovering alcoholic that started her own business because she
didn't want to be left alone if my husband fucking
passed away. Do you know what I'm saying, and so
here I am, and like in this, I own a
business now and I have thirty employees, and it's another

(44:23):
level like I never thought i'd be. Yeah, and it's
a it's a fucking struggle to see what's happening in
the outside world. M it's and it makes me sad,
and it's like where are we going? Like normal people
just don't even want to be helped anymore as how
I feel, they just like it is this fucking line
to the injections. It's this line to the pills, the

(44:48):
line to the supplements, it's the line to the the wearables,
and like, you know, like where are the simple shit?

Speaker 1 (44:58):
Yeah? Literally, one of the guys that was body shaming me,
he goes by the name Marcus Garfield on Facebook. Clear
obviously fake name, but he was calling me a twink
and gay and all these things. Right, I went to
his profile after he told me that he looks ten
times better than me. You guess what. He sells drugs,

(45:20):
literal illegal steroids on his fucking Facebook profile. I'm like, dude,
do you sell on your Facebook profile? And you're ridiculing
my physique, my fitness, and my health when you're taking
something that is going to kill you early, and you
have hundreds of men commenting priceless to get your fucking
price list for your illegal fucking steroids. My guy, fuck you.

(45:41):
You know, like, this is how out of touch with
reality we are.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
We are. That's what everyone's out of touch reality, That's
what it is.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
How is it? How is it a bad thing that
I have a normal, average physique, because that's what social
media will make you believe I have an average physique.
I'm inferior. That's one thing I keep hearing your mid
your average, your average. I'm like, fuck yeah, I'm average,
And I want more people to be average, because if
we had more people that were fucking average in this country,

(46:09):
we wouldn't have an obesitia epidemic.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Want to be overweight, we want to be dying early,
We want to be all these things. We are in
a country where ninety five percent of Americans don't eat
enough fiber, and the half of the country doesn't is
sedentary and doesn't reach physical activity guidelines. Fucking I want
people to be average, and I want to descrive to
be more than average once they get to that average point, right,
What I want for people. I want people to push

(46:32):
themselves be better than you were today, be one percent better.
That means you're going to be average. Fuck yeah, it's
better than being below average and fucking suboptimal health and
dying early. I want more people to be average. So
can we fucking embrace being average? Please?

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Yeah? All right?

Speaker 1 (46:53):
The irony that you should have seen my face when
I'm like, this guy is selling drugs and he's ridiculing
me for my physic and for being average.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
That's good, of course he is.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
And he would have been happy to sell me drugs, right, Like,
that's the thing. Here's a guy body shaming me that
would have been happy to sell me drugs to make
me feel better and get give me on his level.
The dude's sucking jacked, of course he is. He eats
fucking trend for breakfast, you know. Yeah, like attack the attack,
what the what you perceive to be a flaw? Sell

(47:25):
them solution one finished marketing one on one right there.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
So guys, that's why all these makeup artists have affiliate codes, right,
and you fucking fall for it, and then you're gonna
come after me and saying being mean right to an
MLM girlie. That is fucking just basically making money off
your vulnerabilities and making you feel like you need to,

(47:53):
you know, take this specific thing to lose that last
ten pounds, because you know what, you can't do it
on your own right, you're fucked.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
Mm hmm mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
You might have to track your calories and you know,
go to the gym.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
I have to do those annoying things, so fucking annoying.
Take care of yourself.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
And I to say, like, if you're if you're the
one that's doing taking an injection to lose that last
ten pounds, let me just be the one to tell
you that you're going to have to do that forever, okay,
because you are fucking around with a forever drug. And
I don't think people really understand that when you don't
have a disease like it is it a disease management drug.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
So what's going to happen when you want to get off?
What's going to happen when it runs out and you
can't afford it anymore? What are you going to do? What?
What do you think is going to happen to you?
How do you think you're your hunger hormones are going
to how do you think you're going to feel? You
think you're just going to go back to the way
everything was. I mean, I don't think anybody thinks about that.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
You don't think long term like that.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
Never, it's always the short term you're thinking about.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
You know. Yes, the people that are that are falling
for that trap, they're vulne, right, And of course the
people marketing, they're they're they're capitalizing on that and they're
not telling you that these are forever drugs. They're not
giving you that disclaimer that, hey, the research is showing.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
Us that, because I think that they don't really know either.
They probably don't understand it either, because we're dealing with
people that aren't in the medical profession, right, Yeah, they
don't know that. You're dealing with people that have eating disorders,
disordered eating patterns, body dysmorphia, that are selling you pharmaceuticals
online because you do too. You're all fucked up in

(49:33):
the head and so you're all buying from each other,
and then you're all fucking supporting each other, and then
you don't understand the implications of your actions until a
couple of years from now, and you know the drugs
are unaffordable. You can't. I mean, who can realistically afford
five hundred dollars a month okay without a disease?

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Dude, it's eating more than that anymore. It's like twelves.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
I mean, just like and I have to say this
again and again and again. I'm not su talking about
the people that really this is a life saving thing
for them, and they're being prescribed this and doing the
things that they need to do with their doctor, healthcare
provider y.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
It is like people are, people are getting fantastic results.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
And really you're being monitored. Okay, you are being monitored properly,
and a lot of people are. You're being responsible. A
lot of people are not, and that's frightening.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
That's what's frightening.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
And what this has really opened my eyes to is
kind of in the same regard, but this is more
so targeted towards men, right is a lot of women
are targeted with GLP ones and I think men are
starting to get more targeted with that too. But TRT
for men is being a beauty very very It's actually
something I'm going to start talking. I don't my content
typically just catered like work like because I talk about, like,

(50:47):
you know, stop dieting and repair your relationship with food. Yeah,
you know. Historically, yes, men struggle with two, but they're
not willing to admit, which I do love because more
and more men are coming around to it and doing
my mindful leading program and stuff with me, which I love.
But men are also sold TRT from shady places that

(51:07):
don't actually need it. That they don't they don't have
a testosterone problem, they do not have low testosterone, they
have a drinking problem, they have a stress problem. They
just the same things that we see with people being
targeted with GLP ones. It's like, it's not your testosterone,
you don't need TRT. If you do not have low TRT,

(51:27):
taking TRT, you're abusing it at that point. And that's
why we're seeing online with a lot of people like
that guy that was trying like you know, it's like, yeah,
you could take drugs and you could be you could
feel better, That's what he said. I guarantee you would
feel better. I'm like, I feel fucking great right now,
my guy. How do you know how I feel? You know,
it's just one one scam to another, just one grifter

(51:49):
from it to another. Is really like social media just
like is a cess pool if you let it be.
Social media influencers and things like that have made unrealistic
bodies look normal. It's sad that my perfectly normal average
physique and I embrace that, like, yeah, I've got muscle mass,

(52:10):
I'm strong as fuck. I would argue that I'm not.
I don't have a normal average physique. I'm above average.
It doesn't really matter. But if you're saying, like, my
physique is average and that's a bad thing, that's a
big fucking problem. Yeah, that's a big fucking problem. I've
worked really hard for a long time to get the
physic that I have. Yeah, you know, lots of different seasons.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
We can't we Yeah, And also we can't let these
fucking people even have a flinch of like thought in
our mind, honestly, Like we're dealing with fucking You're dealing
with someone that's like on drugs basically, yeah, oh yeah,
you know what I'm saying. And isn't his mom's basement
selling them? So probably if you wouldn't take advice from him,
just he's like a fart in the wind.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
Yeah, No, And I don't I'm not. I definitely don't
take it like I'm not taking this to hard or
anything like. Yeah, I literally I've laughing a lot of
the time about this, and that's a lot of my
comments and replies are just thank you have the day
you deserve send them a kissy face, And of course
that gets me, Like, you know, I said, the homophobic
slurs start coming out when I do that. They really
love that. But you know, yeah, so I love a

(53:16):
good I love the troll back, but no, I'm in
a good place with it. But I just know the
typical person online probably won't won't be in a good
place if they, you know, seeing that thing that, yeah,
that go on and and and hearing the things that
I do and and things like that. So I guess

(53:40):
I don't know. I that was a good I guess
I had some stuff to get off my chest there.
But uh, it's just, you know, I want the best
for people. I want people to be healthy, happy, move
their bodies in ways that they enjoy. I want them
to be strong, want them to eat their favorite foods,
want them to eat healthy. You want them to be healthy? Like, what, like,
can we just not just please help people do that?

(54:02):
Instead of putting people in like these molds. Yeah, you've
got to look a certain way. You've got to do
a certain thing, Like you've got to be a bodybuilder,
you've got to you've got to do CrossFit or whatever
whatever your thing, right, Like, no matter, like you know
you've got to do this or you're not healthy. It's like,
no healthy. There's lots of ways to be healthy. There's

(54:23):
lots of ways exactly.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
If you have good like energy, good recovery, mobility, strength, endurance,
you're enjoying movement, I would say that's fitness. That's what
I would say. It helps if you're strong as fuck.
It helps if you can squat your body weight. I've
got a client that just told me she wants to
squat her body weight twice. Like, let's go nonc like

(54:46):
performance based goal, you know. Yea yeah, I guess I
don't know what else I have to say about that.
I'm kind of over it now, but my chest feels
lighter now that I got that off my chest.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Nice all right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
I guess we're uh, we're pretty much at our time
limit here too, redder hour. So yeah, stop lighting your reflection,
decide whether you're doing things right. Stop letting other people
decide whether you're doing things right. Celebrate your performance milestones, lifting, heavier,
sleeping better, you're managing your stress. Okay, you're doing a
great job. Say things like you look powerful, you look strong,

(55:25):
You're a strong, bad bitch. Right. Be mindful of how
you give compliments to other people too, right, like instead
of like, oh, you look like you lost weight, you
look smaller, like, no, you look stronger, you look healthier, right,
like you're moving better. Okay. Yeah, let's stop putting the
focus on people's body size, their body weight, and let's
start pumping up and celebrating what people can do with

(55:47):
their bodies, because to me, that's what's more important, doing
things with our bodies. Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, all right,
I think we're good. To wrap things up. Yeah, okay,
