1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I've been in the fitness industry now for almost fifteen years,

2
00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 1>and if I were to go back way back when

3
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of things that I would definitely say different.

4
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.359
<v Speaker 1>And it's not because I was lying, but I am

5
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>such a believer that experience definitely teaches you things that

6
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you'll never learn out of a textbook. Welcome to the

7
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:29.679
<v Speaker 1>Transformation Station podcast. I'm Christina, owner, operator, and founder of

8
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.759
<v Speaker 1>the Transformation Station, and this is where we talk about

9
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 1>getting stronger while navigating real life. If you're trying to

10
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.799
<v Speaker 1>stay consistent through the ups and the downs and everywhere

11
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 1>else in between, this is for you. I remember years

12
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>ago hearing someone talk about when people say that they're

13
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.119
<v Speaker 1>a guru or that they're the best, and they're like

14
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 1>the top of everything, and there's that everything they know

15
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.159
<v Speaker 1>was one hundred and twenty percent accurate and they hold

16
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.320
<v Speaker 1>on to it for many, many years. But I do

17
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.479
<v Speaker 1>believe that changing your mind is actually a sign of growth.

18
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>When I hear people say like this is the only way,

19
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>and they're saying the same thing for ten years, twenty years,

20
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.040
<v Speaker 1>thirty years, and it doesn't change. I mean, like science

21
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.439
<v Speaker 1>is science, but science is also like evolving throughout the decades,

22
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and to me, if someone says like I'm a guru,

23
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>i am the best, I'm gonna say, okay, that's not

24
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>a sign that someone actually believes or participates in growth,

25
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>And that to me is such like a hindrance of

26
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>success not just for themselves but also what they give

27
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>to other people. Growth is learning new things, having different experiences,

28
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 1>sharing different experiences, evaluating what works what doesn't work for

29
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.879
<v Speaker 1>different types of people, for yourself, like there is such

30
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>a learning curve to growth. But if we always believe

31
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>only one thing is accurate for a everybody and b

32
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 1>for a copious amount of time, then literally like nothing changes,

33
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.799
<v Speaker 1>Like that's that's not a sign of offering people or

34
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.519
<v Speaker 1>yourself any type of success. Something that I used to

35
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 1>believe was that motivation got people results, Like do whatever

36
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you need to do to get motivated, And it wasn't

37
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 1>that people needed more motivation or more discipline or more accountability,

38
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.719
<v Speaker 1>like they don't need another set of rules, Like that's

39
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.199
<v Speaker 1>something that they try to run away from, and then

40
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>indirectly they're trying to chase a new set of rules

41
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>because they have to listen to something or feel extra

42
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>motivated in order to move forward now after it's been

43
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>over a decade. People need fewer decisions. So it's not like, oh,

44
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>just stay extra motivated and watch your favorite inspirational speech

45
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>and then you can get motivated. I mean like that

46
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>does have a time and a place if that's how

47
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you are motivated. Motivation means in movement. If you can

48
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 1>start in movement and stay in movement, like energy creates energy,

49
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 1>it's going to help to propel you forward. But the

50
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.759
<v Speaker 1>root of it to me is needing fewer decisions. So

51
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 1>that means more of having systems, having routines in place,

52
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 1>things that become automatic habits over time. So I know,

53
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>like I've done different podcast interviews and everyone asks me, like,

54
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 1>what's your typical mourning Like I'm like, well, my morning

55
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.520
<v Speaker 1>routine is literally the exact same thing, and I have

56
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 1>systems in place where my laundry is kept, where my

57
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.280
<v Speaker 1>toothbrush is stored, like everything is that exact same thing.

58
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 1>Because it helps me stay in a routine. And in

59
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.759
<v Speaker 1>order to have a routine, I have to have different

60
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>systems in place. It also means showing up when you

61
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 1>don't feel like it. It also can be making healthy

62
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 1>choices your easiest choices. Having a system in place that

63
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 1>maybe you're going to throw something in the air fire

64
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>quickly as you're putting your dishes away out of the dishwasher,

65
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 1>and then before you know it, your dishes are done,

66
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>your air fyer is done, and then you can put

67
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 1>yourself your lunch in the fridge and a container for

68
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 1>the next day. Like, just something that is going to

69
00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>be a system to make your healthy choices much easier.

70
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Something else that I've changed my mind about is definitely

71
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the hardest workouts being the best workouts. I used to

72
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.919
<v Speaker 1>think that sweating more meant you worked harder, and then

73
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I used to I told this story actually yesterday because

74
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.959
<v Speaker 1>I was talking about a couple times I was riding

75
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 1>hot yoga and I'm like, I used to go in long,

76
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:28.720
<v Speaker 1>baggy yoga pants and like wool socks, and I always

77
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>wore like my sports bra and like my undershirt, and

78
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 1>then I would wear a T shirt and then I

79
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.759
<v Speaker 1>would wear a sweater because I'm like, oh, thermogenesis. I'm like,

80
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 1>yoga isn't hard enough. I need to sweat, sweat, sweat.

81
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>How come my heart rates not elevating. I'm like, well,

82
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>there's different types of movement for different types of things

83
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 1>and different types of people. I mean, like stretching into

84
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.240
<v Speaker 1>mobility and yoga is going to be for all different bodies,

85
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure, like in different ways. So I practice like

86
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>mobility and stuff like that still to this day. But

87
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.040
<v Speaker 1>I no longer think like, oh, if it's not my

88
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.600
<v Speaker 1>heart right going through the roof and me being laid

89
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>out for three days, obviously it's not good enough. I

90
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 1>now think fast forward. I believe that those types of

91
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.879
<v Speaker 1>workouts have its place, especially like let's say you're just

92
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 1>trying to stay in routine by having a workout and

93
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.399
<v Speaker 1>having movement. Then it's like, okay, not every day has

94
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>to be raw raw raw. Someone once taught me about

95
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 1>maintenance mode workouts. It's like, even when you don't feel

96
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>like it, you just show up and whatever you have

97
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.360
<v Speaker 1>is what you're going to give. Instead of having such

98
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>high expectations on yourself, just get through the door at

99
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day. To me, the best workout

100
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>is going to be the one that you're going to

101
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 1>keep doing. Consistency. I'll always say this, consistency beats intensity.

102
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.319
<v Speaker 1>You could have an intense I don't know, three weeks,

103
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 1>four weeks and you want to go crazy and like

104
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>do all your workouts so hardcore, but then you literally

105
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 1>just went intense for a month and then no one

106
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.439
<v Speaker 1>sees you and you don't see your workout for another

107
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:03.319
<v Speaker 1>six months. To me, having that consistent routine is going

108
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>to be and maybe not as intense. Having that consistent

109
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>routine is going to be better at that six month

110
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.600
<v Speaker 1>mark when you're still in the game of having your movement,

111
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:19.519
<v Speaker 1>because again, less expectation. Another thing Number three is progress

112
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.879
<v Speaker 1>equals weight loss, and weight loss equals progress. I've watched

113
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:27.079
<v Speaker 1>so many people lose inches. They've gotten off their medication.

114
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.040
<v Speaker 1>That's a big one we talk about around the gym.

115
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>They've lowered their blood pressure, they're sleeping better, they're making friends,

116
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.720
<v Speaker 1>they now have a social life outside of work, which

117
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>is important. They walk upstairs without stopping, like so many

118
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 1>people are, like I just want to get to the

119
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.279
<v Speaker 1>top of the stairs at the school without people hearing

120
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 1>me huff and puff or pretending like I need to

121
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>tie my shoe. I'm like, ooh, that's a good idea,

122
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>pretending tire shoe, and like they're also smiling more like

123
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 1>something I noticed also when I look at pictures. Is

124
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 1>I smile more? And this is something I just thought

125
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>about it. That's why I pause. There's the podcast episode Danielle,

126
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 1>one of our members, she had spoken about this and

127
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not a secret, and she said it on the

128
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.120
<v Speaker 1>podcast and she's like, I notice my smile is back

129
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.319
<v Speaker 1>when I look at my pictures. That is so incredibly important.

130
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.040
<v Speaker 1>That to me is progress. It's not always weight loss.

131
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:16.879
<v Speaker 1>And people don't even have weight loss goals. They couldn't

132
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 1>care less about weight loss goals. Some people have weight

133
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>gain goals. Sometimes the scale barely moves and people they

134
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:25.800
<v Speaker 1>get discouraged, especially if their goal is weight loss. But

135
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>weight loss and fat loss are not the same things.

136
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.560
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't mean that nothing has changed. Like in our

137
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.439
<v Speaker 1>check and Champion Passports, it says like, hey, chant place

138
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:37.519
<v Speaker 1>your sticker here, wins wins for the month. It doesn't say, hey,

139
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>what could you have done better? It says, okay, let's

140
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:42.319
<v Speaker 1>talk about what your wins are because that's important. And

141
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.519
<v Speaker 1>getting to twelve classes in a month that's three classes

142
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>a week essentially, like that is a high five. You

143
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 1>don't have to do seventy five classes in a month

144
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>to be like, oh I'm holier than now, what's your

145
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 1>body need? What's your goals need? If you need to

146
00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.759
<v Speaker 1>be at the gym six seven days a week because

147
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>you're like, hey, this is really good for my mental health,

148
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.160
<v Speaker 1>then I support that. I don't care if you come

149
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:05.879
<v Speaker 1>into a class and you march on the spot for

150
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:07.560
<v Speaker 1>forty five minutes. If that's going to make you feel

151
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.279
<v Speaker 1>good about yourself, that's what you're gonna do. Another thing

152
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>is there's back then. I used to think that there

153
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.680
<v Speaker 1>was only one way to lose weight. There's not just

154
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.480
<v Speaker 1>one right way to lose weight. And I know in

155
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.199
<v Speaker 1>one of the last episodes we talked about like when

156
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I think the title was something about like since one

157
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.279
<v Speaker 1>is other people's bodies, everybody's business. I've seen so many

158
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.320
<v Speaker 1>people have success with lifestyle changes. I've seen people work

159
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:40.600
<v Speaker 1>with personal trainers. I've seen people a lot of people

160
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.799
<v Speaker 1>have success through strength training and walking. Some people love

161
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 1>getting to the gym to do two classes back to back.

162
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Maybe e They're going to do a strength class and

163
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>stay for a cardio or vice versa. I've also seen

164
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:58.519
<v Speaker 1>people hit their goals using medications or having surgery, and

165
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:04.039
<v Speaker 1>the common genomen isn't how people got there. It's that

166
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:07.080
<v Speaker 1>they found something that they could stick with. They found

167
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>something that makes themselves feel proud, and they stopped caring

168
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.879
<v Speaker 1>about the internet's opinions and everybody else's opinions. That to

169
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.759
<v Speaker 1>me tells me that that person chose to put themselves

170
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.080
<v Speaker 1>first and they wanted to try something different. So instead

171
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>of just throwing shade, I used to I did used

172
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.519
<v Speaker 1>to be that person. Like we talked about this earlier

173
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.200
<v Speaker 1>in the podcast, Like I wasn't actually rude to anybody,

174
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.919
<v Speaker 1>but in my brain when I was twenty years old,

175
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.279
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like why. And I used to like there

176
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.919
<v Speaker 1>was someone that was like, I think maybe two hundred

177
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.919
<v Speaker 1>pounds at five foot ten, and she said she was

178
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:48.320
<v Speaker 1>like a size fourteen to sixteen and she had weight

179
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>loss surgery. And I remember being like what, So I

180
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:55.600
<v Speaker 1>was that person in that specific case. I was like,

181
00:09:55.639 --> 00:10:00.039
<v Speaker 1>why would you do that? I'd judge that decision. I

182
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>will say that out loud. I wasn't rude to her.

183
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:05.320
<v Speaker 1>I would never demean somebody's opinion, like things like even

184
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.200
<v Speaker 1>back then, right but even now, like I still find

185
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.639
<v Speaker 1>myself like hot in a thought. Sometimes you'd be like

186
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>beside fourteen and sixteen, Like you're still perfect, why would

187
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.559
<v Speaker 1>you need to do that? But again, that's not my

188
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.480
<v Speaker 1>decision to be made. If that's a decision that they

189
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>made for themselves, that is going to be okay because

190
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:29.159
<v Speaker 1>it has nothing to do with me. Something else that

191
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I realize is that community definitely does matter more than programming.

192
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I remember, like I always wanted the programming to be

193
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and twenty percent perfect. I do think the

194
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:44.879
<v Speaker 1>program programming is perfect, but I don't overly think about

195
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.399
<v Speaker 1>it anymore. Like we have to change everything all the

196
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>different movements, throw in extra extra different movements just so

197
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>people don't get bored. But sometimes it's those boring same

198
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:58.919
<v Speaker 1>repetitions that are that's what's bringing like the most success,

199
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:01.879
<v Speaker 1>because like squats, you can be done many ways. Yes,

200
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.919
<v Speaker 1>squats are still going to be squats. They're training your

201
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.399
<v Speaker 1>biggest muscle groups in your body, like your butt, your legs,

202
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>your core, all at the same time. But like, there's

203
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.559
<v Speaker 1>also bicep curls. There's like five six different ways using

204
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:16.600
<v Speaker 1>just a pair of dumbbells that you can do your

205
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.559
<v Speaker 1>basic bicep curl. There's also like decline and incline and

206
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>all those other things. If you want to throw all

207
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the different rotations in there too, there's definitely more than

208
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:26.600
<v Speaker 1>five ways. But I thought people were just staying because

209
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.720
<v Speaker 1>of the workouts. Don't get me wrong. I've had people say, Christina,

210
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.559
<v Speaker 1>I've had the best results. I've lost the body fat

211
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.679
<v Speaker 1>that I wanted to lose because I've done your programming. Yes,

212
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:40.080
<v Speaker 1>that's amazing. Also, the community and the environment is what's

213
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.879
<v Speaker 1>kept you showing up. So that's why I'm also very

214
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:46.080
<v Speaker 1>particular of what I cultivate within our four walls. I'm

215
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.480
<v Speaker 1>very particular about how classes are run, in particular about

216
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:53.879
<v Speaker 1>the ambiance and the level of skill that the coaches

217
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:57.840
<v Speaker 1>are also omitting to people. Are the coaches causing people

218
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to feel bad? Are the coaches causing people to have

219
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.519
<v Speaker 1>their soul set on fire in class knowing that they're

220
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:08.639
<v Speaker 1>doing good? And that's also something that keeps them coming back.

221
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.159
<v Speaker 1>I thought people just stayed because the workouts were awesome,

222
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.519
<v Speaker 1>But now they stay because somebody notices when they're missing.

223
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.559
<v Speaker 1>And like, when I look in the four walls of

224
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.519
<v Speaker 1>the Transformation Station, like there's so many friendships that have

225
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.440
<v Speaker 1>been developed. It's always one of my favorite things to

226
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:27.519
<v Speaker 1>see people like high five each other, and they cheer

227
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:31.039
<v Speaker 1>each other on super cool. On another note, something else

228
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:34.320
<v Speaker 1>that I've changed is I've changed a lot as a

229
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:38.480
<v Speaker 1>business owner. I used to think that everyone needed to

230
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:43.039
<v Speaker 1>be like me inside the business, but I don't think

231
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.639
<v Speaker 1>that anymore. And I don't mean like when I first

232
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>started the Transformation station. I mean way back when I

233
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:53.360
<v Speaker 1>started in business twenty years ago. I don't want anybody

234
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:56.799
<v Speaker 1>to be like me. Like, firstly, I own the business.

235
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:58.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't expect anybody to act like they own the

236
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:02.600
<v Speaker 1>business because they don't. Another thing is is everyone has

237
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.759
<v Speaker 1>their own unique attributes about themselves. I didn't think I

238
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>was gonna use the word attributes, but I definitely am

239
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:11.200
<v Speaker 1>doing that right now. But like, everyone has something that's

240
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.960
<v Speaker 1>beautiful about them. Everybody has something that is exciting and

241
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:19.879
<v Speaker 1>they have a good quality about them. So I want

242
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:23.720
<v Speaker 1>everyone else's unique personalities to shine in the exact same way.

243
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>As long as you're kind and you're welcoming to me,

244
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.919
<v Speaker 1>that's the only thing that matters. I've still been speaking

245
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.120
<v Speaker 1>with a therapist. I know I was very transparent about that,

246
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:36.320
<v Speaker 1>like a handful of months ago. Now she asked me.

247
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:39.600
<v Speaker 1>She asked me this like very quite often, and she

248
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:41.440
<v Speaker 1>asked me, She's like, what is something you're proud of?

249
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.720
<v Speaker 1>And at the time, like, I published a book, I

250
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.000
<v Speaker 1>implemented these things at the gym, like things were going

251
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.240
<v Speaker 1>like super good. And then I looked at her and

252
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.080
<v Speaker 1>then I'm like, what do you mean something I'm proud of?

253
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Then she's like, you're always raising your standard. But I

254
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:58.279
<v Speaker 1>talk to you every week every two weeks, and you

255
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:02.440
<v Speaker 1>change a lot of things very quickly, but like you

256
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:05.799
<v Speaker 1>make them to be better and you're improving things. And

257
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I actually don't feel like I have a

258
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.720
<v Speaker 1>reason to celebrate. Then she's like, did you celebrate that

259
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.399
<v Speaker 1>you incorporated? I was like, no, I didn't do that.

260
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I didn't celebrate any of my milestones or any of

261
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:21.159
<v Speaker 1>the things that I've done because it doesn't matter what

262
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:24.879
<v Speaker 1>I do transparently, there's always someone that has an opinion

263
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of why that shouldn't have been done. So like at

264
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:30.879
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, like there's some people that

265
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:35.440
<v Speaker 1>don't like cheese and like cheese's life. Like they always

266
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:36.919
<v Speaker 1>say like, oh, you're not going to make people happy

267
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:38.840
<v Speaker 1>because you're not pizza. Well, there's some people that don't

268
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>even like pizza. At the end of the day, you're

269
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.919
<v Speaker 1>never going to keep every single person happy. You have

270
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to do what's best for the bigger picture. And also

271
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the same way I'm telling you this is the same

272
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.519
<v Speaker 1>way I tell myself that should not diminish your accomplishments,

273
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Like why do you not feel proud of that? Why

274
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:57.039
<v Speaker 1>do I not feel proud of it? And then like

275
00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>the last time my therapist asked me, she was like, like, Okay,

276
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 1>what is something that you are very proud of? I'm like, girl,

277
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.759
<v Speaker 1>you asked me this like at least two three times

278
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.120
<v Speaker 1>a month. And then I was like, oh wait, And

279
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:10.679
<v Speaker 1>I opened up my phone and I've been using this

280
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.159
<v Speaker 1>Finch app. It's like a self care app, and when

281
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:18.399
<v Speaker 1>you complete your tasks, you earn rhymestone rainbow stones to

282
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>buy like the latest released shirt, and every morning there's

283
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:25.480
<v Speaker 1>like the latest release furniture or like the latest release shirts.

284
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh, I got to complete my tasks, so

285
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:29.679
<v Speaker 1>now I've built my little Finch its own little like

286
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:34.120
<v Speaker 1>house using the rainbow stones that I've earned. I know,

287
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I sound like a crazy person when I'm saying this

288
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.080
<v Speaker 1>out loud. If you've used it and you've loved it.

289
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:41.360
<v Speaker 1>It's always better with friends, Like, it's really cool. I

290
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:44.440
<v Speaker 1>have like probably like at least ten or twelve friends

291
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:46.879
<v Speaker 1>on it now, and like you can send each other encouragement,

292
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you can buty up with your goals. Excuse me, So anyways,

293
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I opened up my finch app. I'm like, this is

294
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:53.559
<v Speaker 1>what I'm proud of. And I showed her my phone

295
00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.840
<v Speaker 1>and she's like, are you serious? She's like, is that

296
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:01.759
<v Speaker 1>your finch app? Yes, I'm really, actually really proud about this,

297
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.399
<v Speaker 1>and I'm really excited about it because I have been

298
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:08.879
<v Speaker 1>maintaining something that I've implemented, which is a system in

299
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:12.080
<v Speaker 1>order to keep my lifestyle a little bit more organized.

300
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Specifically my laundry. My laundry and my dressers have never

301
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.279
<v Speaker 1>looked so sparkling and clean because I need to get

302
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.720
<v Speaker 1>my little tiny bird its own little dress for the day.

303
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:26.399
<v Speaker 1>So like that, it's hard, like you're not ever going

304
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.879
<v Speaker 1>to please anybody, and that lesson goes way way beyond

305
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:32.759
<v Speaker 1>just gyms. If you're listening to this right now and

306
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:35.039
<v Speaker 1>you've changed your mind about something over the years, it

307
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 1>could be similar things to what I just talked about.

308
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's things that are uniquely your own ideas. You

309
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.240
<v Speaker 1>don't have to be embarrassed about it. You can be

310
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>proud of it. I always say, like, if you don't

311
00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:44.919
<v Speaker 1>like it, you're not a tree. You can change and

312
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.679
<v Speaker 1>you can change your mind. And it doesn't matter like

313
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:52.039
<v Speaker 1>literally everyone's opinions. It doesn't have anything to do with

314
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:54.600
<v Speaker 1>what you're allowed to think and how you're allowed to feel.

315
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.559
<v Speaker 1>It means at the end of the day is that

316
00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.440
<v Speaker 1>you've kept learning. Holy shniss Okay. So I have one

317
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:01.960
<v Speaker 1>dogs with the that's a German shepherd in Malinwa mix.

318
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.799
<v Speaker 1>So I'm always afraid. I'm like, there's one day I'm

319
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:07.039
<v Speaker 1>gonna be yelling at my dog and I'm gonna forget

320
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:09.680
<v Speaker 1>to press pause right now she's trying to chase the cat,

321
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.240
<v Speaker 1>all right. Anyways, I hope that when you're listening to

322
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.960
<v Speaker 1>this five years from now, hopefully you're still listening to

323
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the Transformation Station podcast. Five years from now, I know

324
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be sitting here doing the right same thing.

325
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.039
<v Speaker 1>My opinions may have changed, may have changed. If you're

326
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.119
<v Speaker 1>in the future and listening back to this, however, you

327
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:32.319
<v Speaker 1>might notice too that as you're listening that you've changed

328
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:35.079
<v Speaker 1>your mind about things too, because to me, that is

329
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:38.880
<v Speaker 1>what growth looks like. Okay, we're gonna wrap up. I'm

330
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:40.599
<v Speaker 1>gonna leave you with a question. If you want to
