Brad Crowell 0:01   F**k yeah! Lesley Logan 0:02   Get ready for some wins. 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 0:48   Hey, Be It babe. How are you? Happy middle of October. I am in Cambodia, and I am. I think I'm about to start my retreat. I just know that I am. Yes, I'm starting my retreat in a couple of days. Oh my lanta, my goodness! This month is wild. I've started it in Vegas, then the next week I was in Sacramento. Now I'm in Cambodia. I'll be in Cambodia for the next FYF, and then I will be home. And I'm only home for a couple of weeks before it's China and it's India and it's just a lot to be grateful for. Lesley Logan 1:20   But first, happy F**k Yeah Friday! This is where we get to be humans together. We get to celebrate what you are doing, what's inspired you, what's going on in your life, and a little win of mine and a little mantra. And then you get on your way. I hope you're loving the solo episodes we've been doing. If there's any topics you want me to be hitting or some guests that you would like me to be reaching out to, please go to the beitpod.com/questions. It's a catch-all for your wins, your suggestions, and things like that. So yeah. So, anyways, before I get into my win, I get to take a moment to share what I've had with what I'm a little bit tired of, and I wanted to say I'm recording this after all the f*****g most amazing people are dying. All the most amazing people are f*****g dying, and the s****y people are not, or we're being told they're not dead, but I know they're dead, and it's just really annoying. It's really annoying, and I'm just why are all the good ones going? Why does it always happen like that? You know, so I'm just sad about it because I mean that's beautiful. As I got to relive some of the things about those people, I'm going to hear more of their stories. I didn't know. I'm talking about specifically about Dolly Parton. I listened to really great episode about her whole life, and of course, I knew a lot of things. I didn't know everything. And what a generous, amazing woman she could have been a billionaire, and she did not die that way. She died as someone who just generously gave without questions, and I just love that so f*****g much. And I just, you know, I have a sticker in my office that says, "What would Dolly do? And I just really think that we need to all be thinking like that. But anyway, other good people are dying too, and you know. So I'm just mad because I wish assholes were. Lesley Logan 2:52   Anyways, my win, since you listened to me vent, I restarted my morning pages. I have been up down, up down with my morning pages, and I really truly love them. If you haven't read the Artist Way, it's really great. My friend Claire and I decided to read Julia Cameron's second book, and she's got these creative walks, and she has tools you need morning pages. Oh, the morning pages are so hard for me. The reason I'm tormented with them is because I live somewhere where it's very climatic. In the summers, you just want to get it's not going to get any cooler the later you wait to go on your walk, so you just keep going out earlier and earlier, and so I do them in the winter, in the fall, in the spring, but not the summer, and you know that's just frustrating. Lesley Logan 3:26   So I found a way to do my morning pages every morning on my walks, and I'm so proud of myself, and I'm really loving it because all the anxiety that I wake up with is gone within two blocks of my walk, and I can just get it out in my head, and then if I have action steps, I can see that. But it's not about being action-oriented; it's just dusting the curtains, you know, hitting the rug, getting things out of the, getting things off my mind, so I can focus on what's so important. So I'm really, really excited about that, and it's been really, really wonderful. And I would just say, in this the year of our Lord, 2026. Find a way to do your morning pages. Find a way to get stuff off your head as early as possible in your life. Lesley Logan 4:06   Okay, now a win of yours, @pilatesandrea, "Had an amazing Teacher Lab yesterday, and my weekly schedule is consistently full." Well, that's because you're amazing, @pilatesandrea. You are amazing, and your stickers are also so f*****g wonderful. I love them so much, and they were such a huge hit on the tour. So thank you for being so generous with them, and thank you for sharing this amazing win. I mean, your schedule is full, because the impact you have on people is just so beautiful. So I'm so grateful to call you a friend. So that's it. Send your wins in, my loves, to beitpod.com/questions. You can hear your win when you need it. Lesley Logan 4:40   And here is your mantra for the weekend. I am worthy of infinite compassion. I am worthy of infinite compassion. Be It, babe, you are worthy of infinite compassion.

But if you're priming yourself to celebrate all the things that you are doing and you and who you are as a person, you're gonna realize you're f*****g enough. Lesley Logan 0:11   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 0:54   Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap of my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the elevating convo I have with Brad Bizjack. I mean, you just think that there are other words for Brad. He is on a different whole vibe.  Brad Crowell 1:07   I was gonna say plane, so maybe elevating does work.  Lesley Logan 1:10   Elevating, he's in a different sphere. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, you will want to listen to it after you listen to this for sure, or you're gonna want to join his amazing program. You can sign up right now for free this week because I do it every year. It's just so fun. His, it's just his, it's just amazing. Lesley Logan 1:28   So today is, we'll get into that later, but today is October 15th, and it's the International Day of Rural Women. International Day of Rural Women champions the essential contributions of women in agriculture and rural development every October 15th. This day recognizes their tireless work in food security, economic stability, and environmental sustainability. Join global efforts to empower rural women, advocate for their rights, and support initiatives that foster growth and well-being. It focuses on advocacy and support rather than commercial deals. Organizations like UN Women, the Food Agriculture Organization (FAO), and Heifer? Brad Crowell 2:05   Heifer. Lesley Logan 2:06   Heifer. No way. Brad Crowell 2:07   Yeah. Lesley Logan 2:08   No way. It's Heifer International. Brad Crowell 2:10   It is. I donate to them. Lesley Logan 2:12   You do? Brad Crowell 2:13   Yeah, have been for a very long time. Lesley Logan 2:15   Okay. Well, how did you find out about them? Brad Crowell 2:18   You know, I started talking to some people. Lesley Logan 2:19   All right. Often launched fundraising campaigns and awareness drives. So contact any one of them if you want to support women like this. That's really cool. You know, you'd be surprised how rural women everywhere are making this entire universe go around. The clothes you wear, the food you eat, the things you buy, they are often, you know, like there's just so much that is being in there. They need our support. We do go to Cambodia a lot, and one of the things that women there in the rural area needs, if they're not educated, they don't really have resources for if they're in a terrible situation. So it's really important that you, if you have time, and if you don't have time, if you have money, and if you don't have money, if you have friends, that you find something, a cause like this that can motivate you to share it in a way that is accessible to you, because this is how we this is how we make the world a better place. Lesley Logan 3:12   All right, so upLift. Oh my God, you guys! If you're on the wait list for students, you know where we are starting our first cohorts for upLift, my Pilates teacher training program for new teachers. If you're not, you probably don't know, and I can't tell you now because we are in the future. We are in the past, and we can't tell you in this moment. Lesley Logan 3:35   We're in both, the future and the past. Lesley Logan 3:37   We are.  Brad Crowell 3:38   Wrap your head around that.  Lesley Logan 3:39   We are in the future in this moment for ourselves. But while you listen to this, we are in the past. And so, if you or someone you know wants to become a Pilates instructor, then I want you to go to xxll.co/uws, and we will let you know where our cohorts are and where you can do it, even in person. There's a few people who are doing remote learning options, and so I'm just so excited about this program, aren't you, Brad? I'm excited. Brad Crowell 4:01   I think it's going to change Pilates. Lesley Logan 4:03   We're changing the industry. I think so. Brad Crowell 4:05   Yeah. Lesley Logan 4:06   I think so. I think so. There was just on Beyond Your Reformer. She just put a compilation together of all these people saying what is wrong with teacher training programs and upLift literally solves all those problems, just inherently. Brad Crowell 4:17   We, I would love to see that. I know that'd be really cool. Lesley Logan 4:20   I know. I should give that to you. Brad Crowell 4:21   Yeah, you should give that to me. Lesley Logan 4:23   Let's make a note. Let's make a note. We won't know what that says in a second. Okay.  Brad Crowell 4:28   All good. if you're here. Lesley Logan 4:29   And you're new. Brad Crowell 4:30   And you're new Lesley Logan 4:31   or not Brad Crowell 4:31   or not or you're old. Lesley Logan 4:34   Well, don't call our listeners old. Brad Crowell 4:35   Don't forget to check out our Pilates flashcards. Go over to OPC.me/flashcards, where every single purchase supports the Nevada SPCA. Lesley Logan 4:44   I was just there. Brad Crowell 4:45   Yeah. Lesley Logan 4:46   I dropped off some jewelry for their jewelry show. I convinced them to let me go upstairs and organize all of the jewelry for the next show with all the free time I have. But I just, I know that it's, I just want to help you make more money, and I just want to merchandise it better. I'm so excited. So if you're in Las Vegas in November, there is a jewelr

Are you waiting until you achieve your goals to finally feel worthy, or are you stuck on the endless treadmill of perfectionism?

That is what burnout means. It has nothing to do with the amount of hours worked. It has to do with the amount of hours spent out of alignment. Lesley Logan 0:14   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 0:56   Be It, babe, Brad's back. Brad Bizjack is back. My Brad does show up in the thing, but it's Brad Bizjack's show, and he is a force. He's here to help you with all those things you've been stuck on, the things that we've known but we didn't have the knowing. And I'm so excited because I'm jazzed. The episode just ended. I'm jazzed, and I feel so good about life and what I'm doing, and I want that for you. So you have to keep listening to this show. And then there's an action step for you to take that's going to blow your mind. And if you like that one, then, and you like the show, then there's another one. Lesley Logan 1:31   So I'll just say, Brad's going to have an amazing event next week that's free, and I'm going to be at it because I go every year because it really challenges me to be the person that I want to be, and so we'll have a link for you to sign up and join, and let me know when you do. And I hope this episode will change your life. I think it will, and I hope you send it to a friend who needs to hear it. All right, here's Brad Bizjack.  Lesley Logan 1:52   All right, Be It, babe. This is going to be fun because it was fun the last time, and it's a great conversation. But I know it's going to be life changing. At the very least, it's going to have you stop in your tracks and go, "Oh, wait a second! I've been doing this maybe a little bit not in the service of myself and my best interest." Brad Bizjack is back. Brad, can you remind everyone who you are and why you rock so much? Brad Bizjack 2:12   Yeah, I'm super pumped to be back. First of all, thanks so much for having me. I'm excited to add some value to your amazing listeners. I am a personal development expert, certified high-performance coach. I really help people shift the limiting beliefs, toxic thought patterns, limiting emotional habits that go on in the blind spots of your mind. And how do we break through those and reach the next level of success and, more importantly, fulfillment in our lives? And so that's the two-minute SparkNotes. I can get into the story and all that stuff if you want me to, but that's just a little bit of backstory of what I do. Lesley Logan 2:44   I know because, well, you do it so well, first of all, and I mean, there's so many people who claim to do these things, but you actually do do these things. The Instagram people claim that their services can help, but sometimes I find that there's another thing that people can collect. I'm a Pilates instructor who teaches Pilates instructors, as we know. And sometimes you're just collecting exercises. You don't need to collect more exercises. You need to do the ones you have. But what sets you apart? I guess. I mean, that's a big question. But you can brag about yourself a little bit. Brad Bizjack 3:14   I mean, there's a lot of really beautiful things that we've been able to do and serve people with. We obviously we've trained over 80,000 people all over the world, and how to shift their psychology. But one of the things that I think really separates us from everyone that claims to be a mindset coach on the internet, and there, like you said, there are a lot of them. And then there's people that haven't really gone through life, and they claim to be a life coach, right? And it's just really interesting to see how that works. But one of the things that really helps our students and everyone that we serve on podcasts and things like that is that we take these ethereal concepts. Let's use the example of a belief, and we actually make it tactical on how you can actually shift them, how you can actually remove some of these blocks in your subconscious mind. Because a lot of times when people are talking about this stuff on the interwebs, it's just, you gotta believe in yourself, woohoo! And then someone's sitting there going, "No shit, but how do I do that?" And we actually show you how to actually do that. I think that's one of the things that makes us really stand out. Lesley Logan 4:15   I agree. I couldn't agree more. And I, it's true. I interviewed someone, and she's, "Well, you have it already. You're born with all these things. You just need to not care so much about people thinking." I'm like, okay, but how do I do that? Because how do I? It's like, well, you're just gonna stop caring because I was just okay. I love your confidence in this, but I am, as someone who's quite con

Lesley Logan celebrates a win she almost talked herself out of, choosing to hire real help rather than wait years for something she could pursue now. As Balanced Body marks fifty years, she shares why coaching others taught her to ask for coaching too. She also vents about the looming time change, lifts up wins from the summer tour, and offers a reminder that investing in yourself is not impulsive when it's strategic.

Brad Crowell 0:01   F**k yeah! Lesley Logan 0:02   Get ready for some wins. 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 0:38   Be It babe, how are you? I am so excited for today. Today we are celebrating oh my god 50 years of Balanced Body as our sponsor for our big tours, and last week we announced where we're going in our winter tour. So hopefully you've gone and checked that out, but we are actually spending the celebrating this day with Balanced Body and their crew at POT Sacramento. So I'm up in Sacramento. If you are one of our members or listeners, and you are there as well, please come by in the booth and say hi. Lesley Logan 1:13   Happy F**k Yeah Friday! I'm so happy you're here. You know these short episodes. I hope are meaningful for you. I love to share your wins. I love for you to hear what's going on in real time in my life and what's on my heart and what's a win I'm having because I think it's really easy for us to put people on pedestals and think the grass is greener where they are, and everyone's just doing their thing, trying the hardest they can. And you know, you are amazing. So thanks for being here. Lesley Logan 1:38   So okay, I am aware that we are weeks away from a time change, possibly, but maybe not, because you know I heard that they're not doing the time change, but then they picked the one I don't want, and I feel like everybody in the world agrees that we should stop changing the clocks, but I don't want it to be light in the morning. I know you think that's crazy because I love to walk in the morning. I actually love to wake up when it's dark, and when we start my walk and watch the sunrise, and I want it to be lighter later. So statistically, I guess it's probably better if we all wake up early with the sun. But I also just, don't you want to get off work and there's still some sunlight to enjoy the outdoors. Isn't that what you want with friends and family? Just I don't know, have some summer water and just sit outside. So I'm a little frustrated that we're coming close to what could be a time change, and then it's darker earlier for so long, and I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Hate it. So that's my event. Now for my win because you don't need to hear me bitch without hearing a good thing that's going on. I hired help for my YouTube channel, and we're hitting our first eight weeks together, and I'm really excited to see what that does. But my YouTube channel has been a long time running, and I was kind of figuring out what should it be doing. I want it to grow. I want it to be 100,000 subscribers because I want the impact of that. I want to help that many people who love Pilates. And I just kind of got stuck where we were, and I felt like we weren't we were growing, but we weren't growing that fast. I don't want to wait 15 years to hit the goal. I want to hit it. And I met this person, and I raised my hand and asked a vulnerable question, and they followed up. Oh my god, fancy that! And they're actually not an a*****e who's stealing from me or promising the world and not giving me anything. Like they're great, wonderful at what they do. And so the last 8 weeks we've been working together, this celebrates that. And I just am excited for you to see what we put out because of these meetings. And I'm really congratulating myself for hiring some help. Lesley Logan 3:23   Y'all, we coach people all the time, and it would be silly for me to say I have all the answers. We coach people all the time on their business because we have been where you're going, and we can help you get where you want to go. And so, my loves, sometimes you got to hire people to help you get where you want to go. And so I did that, and I'm just celebrating that I didn't go. Oh, it's not the right time. So much going on in the world. Nope. Put my money where my mouth was. I want to hit this goal. He's the right person. I'm doing it. Interview, deal of things. Very proud of myself. Wasn't impulsive. Was very strategic and thoughtful. And I just want to share that with you because if you do that in your life, you too have a win to celebrate. Lesley Logan 3:58   All right, now for a win of yours. This is from @cnoteandmaxxi, "Coming to summer tour class in 45min." So obviously this is from August. But you did come to our summer tour, and you came to two classes. It was so fun to see you. I love that you did that. @purapilates_yasmin, "Two new clients this week, loving the method." Ah, I love when our Pilates clients fall in love with the method the way we do. It's just so fun when they get hooked on it like we do. So thank you both so much for sending in your wonderful, wonderful wins so we can see that you can just celebrate a win. I set up for a class and I made it. I'm going. Or that someone else sees the world the way you see it because of you. Those are wins. Lesley Logan 4:40   All right, let me get you a mantra, my loves, and get you onto your weekend. And like I said, if you are in Sacramento at POT, come by say hi. I choose to see the beauty within me. I choose to see the beauty within me. I choose to see the beauty within me. My love, you choose to see the beauty within you. Now go Be It Till You See It.

It is using what you've learned. It's information and then adjusting course, right? And I think a lot of us treat pivot like a consolation prize. Well, Plan A didn't work, so I guess I'll do this instead. Lesley Logan 0:16   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 0:59   All right, if you listened to part one, you got some homework done, and you sat with what you're actually done with, and you've checked in with your body, and hopefully you got a little more honest with yourself than a couple days ago. And today we're gonna do something with that because awareness without a next step is really just, well, it's a very well-informed, stuck place, and I don't want that for you, or, as my breathwork coach said, information without integration is constipation, a.k.a. stuck. Right? Lesley Logan 1:27   So, welcome back to Be It Till You See It. This is part two of Quit Versus Pivot series, and if you didn't listen to part one, what are you actually trying to quit? You should go listen to that one because this is going to feel a little bit of the ordinary. So it's just going to be below this in your wherever you're listening to podcast, yeah, because, I mean, if you're like me and you want to listen to the end first, you totally can. Who am I to tell you what to do? But today's episode is about a word that changes everything once you understand it, and that is pivot. And again, some of us don't like that word; we get a little tired of it. But it's a really good word. Lesley Logan 1:57   So let's redefine pivot. Let's start here. A pivot is not a failure. It is using what you've learned. It's information and then adjusting course, right? And I think a lot of us treat pivot like a consolation prize. Well, Plan A didn't work, so I guess I'll do this instead, which is framing that actually keeps you small and a little bit resentful of your own journey, as opposed to the reframe, which you can take instead, which is you're not starting over; you're starting with data. So, for example, when I first started to run a marathon, I thought, okay, I just have to run a long time over and over again, and I'll be able to run a marathon. And I started doing that, and I started having shin splints and a little bit of hip pain and things like that, and I thought about quitting, but I was, well, I don't want to quit. I really want to achieve this goal, but I'm not, this isn't working. And so now I have information about what doesn't work. I hired a coach on how to do it, and then I ran a marathon. And then after I ran that marathon, I discovered that I actually prefer running half marathons because it's easier to stay in shape for a half marathon. And I became an elite half marathon runner and doing things like that. I would not say that becoming a half marathon runner was a consolation prize of being a marathon runner. No, I was able to make a more informed decision about the goals that I have. It was information with, it was having a new goal with data on how to do what I want to do, versus I think I want to do this thing right now, which is totally fine. But now we don't have to start over. We get to start from a new starting line with the data of what to do. Lesley Logan 3:30   So every attempt you've made, every version of the plan, the class, the offer, the show, everything you've done on your goal on a thing, you actually get to ask yourself what worked and what drained you. What did people actually respond to? Not on vibes, but like on data. What about your body felt like it was in resistance before, or what about it felt like it was easy and in flow? All that information is not a waste. It's the research phase. No one calls it that, right? Everyone tells us, oh, you just should be able to do the thing that you set out to do as some b******t. So after every single thing Brad and I do in our business, we sit down and we go, what worked and what didn't work? What did we like? What didn't we like? We said 15 minutes. Was that enough time? Do we need 20 minutes? It's all information. When you do that for your business, you don't go, oh my god, you didn't know. No, you'll call it a postmortem or an autopsy. You call it reflection. Why don't we do that with our other goals in our life? Lesley Logan 4:25   So let's talk method versus mission. And this is a filter that I use now, and I want you to use it as much as you want. And you can call it whatever you want because it is simple. We talked about this in last. Am I done with the whole thing or this is just the way I'm doing it? So method versus mission. If I'm done with the whole thing, that's like mission. If I'm done with the way I'm doing it, that's just the method, right? There's other ways of doing that. Sometimes the mission is still completely right, and the method is what's wrong. You still believe in what your outcome is. You're just exhausted with the vehicle you chose to get there. Lesley Logan 4:56   So, I used to write tons and tons of blogs. That is how our businesses got started, and now I don't write blogs. I do videos, and then the transcripts become the blog. So I still do long form content. I just don't type it all out, right? So method versus mission. Maybe it's the schedule you're using. Maybe you're maybe you said you'll take calls in the evenings, and you want to take calls in the afternoons. Maybe it is the format, like mine was. Maybe it's who you are doing the thing for. Maybe it is the offer itself, right? Like as you heard for the last episode, we changed Agency. We changed the actual offer. We didn't change who it's for. We didn't change our mission of how we want to help more bodies doing Pilates, and that by doing that, we help the studio owners. We just changed the offer of how we're going to do that, and we change the environment of which we did it in. And it's not because we didn't love what we're doing before; we just needed to make a change so that we can sustainably do what we're doing. And that's key, right? It's really important for you to keep that in mind. That like we talked about in the first episode, it's not a failure. It's actually information about where you're at right now. Maybe it's the pace you set, right? Lesley Logan 6:02   I was listening to something today where this woman rea

What are you actually done with? In part one of a two-part series on quitting versus pivoting, Lesley Logan sits with that question before making any big decision. She teaches why quitting is not the same as failing and why the messy middle is part of the process, not proof you picked the wrong thing.

It's not the dream that you're trying to quit. It's the exhaustion that is going along with it, and that happens, right? We start doing things one way, and so we keep doing it that way, and we think, "Oh my God, if I change it, it's just going to all fall apart." When really, maybe it needs to change so we can keep growing. Lesley Logan 00:19 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 01:02 All right, love, so a little while ago, I caught myself in one of those moods where you just want to quit it all. I'm just, I was working on this email and I was, I am over this. Why am I doing this? Why did I say yes to this? I said yes a long time ago and it made sense. And now I'm in it, and I don't want to be in it anymore. I don't like the schedule that's supporting it. I am just really tired of acting like it's all it was work. This is working, and I think we've all been there before. When it's just months ago, we made decisions. Now we're the person we are. People would blame it on perimenopause, ADHD, whatever, whatever. But the reality is, is when you're in those spaces, you do need to sit before you quit. That's what I did. So I sat with myself. What is the thing that's bothering me the most? Because I really do love what I do. So what about this isn't working? What about this am I actually done with? And that's what I'm talking about today. That's what this episode is about: should we quit or should we pivot? Lesley Logan 02:02 So Be It, babe. Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It podcast, where we really do talk about becoming the person who does the thing you really want to do. We do. We talk about doing that because you're going to do it before you're ready. You're going to start acting as if you're that person. You are going to do. You're going to be the person who does the thing, so you can have the thing. It's about instead of waiting to have the thing to be the person, right? But it's complicated. It's hard. So this is part one of a two-part series. We're doing these solo podcasts based on what you've been asking for, what you've really wanted, and we've had lots of interesting questions about quitting. I've definitely have some friends in my life who are literally like quitting. I'm like, are you sure you want to quit-quit? You sure you don't want to just reframe, change the location, change the title? You know, quit-quit? So I thought it would be really interesting just to let's talk about it. Is it time to quit or do we need to pivot? And I know that word pivot is a strong word for those of us who survived 2020. I am the pivot queen when I am in spaces and places, and I hate that and love that about myself because it does make me very hireable. But it is important that we get honest about what is going on in our reality before we make big decisions, because I do find that a lot of women that I know would rather just quit it all and start all over than take some time, take a 30,000-foot view. Lesley Logan 03:29 So let's get into it. Let's talk about it. So first, we have a quitting myth that I want to talk to you about. What I want to really start off with is actually that I find a lot of people will be afraid to quit because they feel like they, that means they failed, and I've definitely experienced this. We made a big transition with Agency several years ago, and originally I was, my god, we failed at this. Like I told myself some stupid story. No, no, no, we did not. We didn't even quit it, right? We actually just pivoted. So, but we got to a place where it had gone as big as it could in that capacity, and I had changed, and the members had changed, and the needs had changed, and technology had changed, and what we have capacity for had changed. And so, you know, it's really important that when you are making these big decisions in your life, that you do not see quitting as failing because they are not the same things. Lesley Logan 04:22 I used to be so afraid to quit jobs because I thought, oh my god, they're not going to like me, or they're going to think I don't like them, or that I didn't think I'm cut out for this or something. Rather than no, I'm just, there's this other thing over here that I need to be challenged with, I need to experience, need to go through, but there is something about those of us who are recovering perfections and overachievers, firstborn daughters. We tend to catastrophize changes on our decisions as if we have somewhat failed or failing people or failing ourselves, and it's just not true. It actually is a really convenient story just to help us be stuck. Lesley Logan 05:00 So, if you are in a space where you're just wanting, you're wanting to quit something, it's information, not a judgment or a verdict or something like that. Just information, and I think the more we can be gatherers of information, so that we can make the best decisions, that's going to make life a lot more fun. It's going to make it easier to be it until we see it. So the distinction I want you to kind of keep in mind as we go through this episode is you don't want to quit your dream. It's not the dream that you're trying to quit. It's the exhaustion that is going along with it, and that happens, right? We start doing things one way, and so we keep doing it that way, and we think, oh my god! If I change it, it's just going to all fall apart. When really, maybe it needs to change so we can keep growing and keep doing it. Right? Lesley Logan 05:46 So, going back to my story about how we changed Agency. If we did not make those changes, agency I could not currently have a version of it. It was becoming so encompassing of my time, and it was keeping me from being able to do the other things that I really dreamt of doing, and so if I didn't make the change, if I didn't quit the, I'm not going to say I was exhaust

A frustrating hair day turns into a real lesson in boundaries when a teammate knows exactly when to step aside. Lesley Logan explains why honoring limits builds deeper trust, and why the person who says no is often worth keeping close. She also celebrates listener wins around consistency and guilt-free rest, proof that showing up and slowing down both count.

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 0:47   Hey, Be It babe. How are you? Welcome back to our Friday episodes. Oh my gosh. Okay, so this Friday you're hearing this, and I'm about to go into a whirlwind of trains, planes, and automobiles. So we are praying to the travel gods that everything goes well, but today is also a F**k Yeah Friday, which means we get to vent a little bit, and you get to share some wins, and you get a mantra, and get on your day, and that means I get to share your wins. And so when you send them into the beitpod.com/questions, it really helps because then I can share it with you on the date you might need to hear. You might be stuck in traffic and going, "Oh my god, that's a win I had a month ago, thank God, I'm being reminded of that. Right. Before we get into your win, because being in my communities, you know, you can vent, but you have to have a win. So I'm gonna tell you right now, my hair looks really good on this video if you're watching it. But I've been annoyed with my hair because it feels like it only looks good the day I wash it. It air dries so cute, and then it's a tangled mess, and then I brush it, and then it's never cute again. Don't even come at me with your spray bottles. I've tried them all. I've bought everything that's for type two A hair, aka Irish hair. I've tried everything. It doesn't work, so I'm just frustrated because I just want to have pretty hair without spending an hour on it every day. My makeup only takes eight minutes, right? So, anyways, here's what happened that's a win, my hairdresser, my love, and I was like, "Can we like shave my head? Can we cut it off? Can we do this? And she's, "No, no, no, no, no." And then finally, the girl who cuts hair next to her was wonderful. And I've talked to her every time I come in. I love her. She said, "My hairdresser, who does my hair, dyes my hair. She's cutting your hair. She's going to be the one that does it. She's doing it. And so that girl's, "When am I seeing you? Okay when I get back from tour. So after I record this, I am going to get my hair cut by someone who is going to do a great job. And I love my girl who dyes my hair, but she really truly wants someone else to cut it, and I respect that. Like I actually truly respect that. I think that is so amazing. So a win is also that I have an amazing team around me. Who is I'm not the person who's doing this for you. And I love that she has boundaries like that, so that's a win for her as well.  Lesley Logan 2:44   All right, your win is from @cori_ca111, "I did a reformer workout 3 times this week, with one of your YouTube freebies." I love reading that. I'm glad you got to enjoy. We've got a couple reformer workouts on there. They're old. You guys have to go look for them, but they exist, so put new ones out every week on OPC. But way to get three in a week-that is amazing. And then this one is from @home_grown_pilates, "I got to sleep in. It was fabulous." I love that you are treating that as a win because I do think so many people go, "Oh, I slept in, I screwed up, and you're like, "Oh my god, it was fabulous! Like way to celebrate taking care of you.  Lesley Logan 3:20   All right, loves. So the Be It Pod is here for you. It's here to support you. It's here to give you some great ideas for how to be it till you see it. Acting more like the person you want to be before waiting for it to be there. And I just hope that this is so helpful.

I'm enough just as I am. Be It babe, you are enough just as you are. Go have an amazing, amazing weekend. Thank you so much. I'll talk to you soon.

I think it is bad to judge yourself for being jealous and not actually taking a moment to know why. What about that thing is making me have the grass is greener? Lesley Logan 0:11   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 0:54   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 insightful convo I had with Jamie Lerner in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause this now and go back and listen to that one, and then come back and join us, or you can just listen all the way through and then just let your podcast play that one.  Brad Crowell 1:11   You can start at episode one. We're only 740 in right now. Lesley Logan 1:15   I know. I mean, so many. It's so many. Today is October 1st 2026. It is ADHD Awareness Month, and you are listening to two ADHD hosts. By the way, just so you know, when we record these, the Adderall is worn off, so. Brad Crowell 1:29   That's also true. Lesley Logan 1:30   It's all we don't ever record when we are medicated. So because that would be that would make too much sense. But ADHD Awareness Month shines a light on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder throughout October. This vital observance, spearheaded by organizations like Attention Deficit Disorder Association, aims to educate the public, reduce stigma, and champion effective treatments. Join the conversation, share resources, and support those navigating life with ADHD. I just want to tell you guys, it's not like a trend to go get diagnosed. If you think that you that's what's going on with you. You should do it because there are really great tools and systems that you can use. You don't have to take Adderall. There's other options. There's other systems you could put in place. But it has been really quite helpful to understand what's ADHD and what's just tired and what's whatever. And oh, I'm going on a dopamine high. Let's adopt a dog. You know, decisions like that. But I highly recommend it. And then the other thing I just want to add is I listened to this really wonderful clip where this woman said that the title ADHD is not really the best because it's what it is is it's a regulation disorder. People with ADHD have a hard time regulating in general. So like we go on highs and lows and highs and lows because it's really hard to regulate. I really like the example of you know those of you who listen to the podcast. Most of you understand, in the 80s and 90s there were those pens that had red, green, black, blue, right? Brad Crowell 2:50   Sure. Lesley Logan 2:51   So a neurotypical person will think red, click red, use red, finish the red, right? A neurodivergent person.  Brad Crowell 3:00   Is that what they'll do? Lesley Logan 3:00   Yeah, a neurodivergent person with ADHD will go. I had five ideas, all five pen, all five colors at the same time. That's how their brain works. And I thought that if you don't understand what that's like, you that I think it's a good visual. So, anyways, if you hear chewing in the background, that's Darla, and we're gonna let her do it because it keeps her busy, otherwise.  Brad Crowell 3:19   That's her ADHD (inaudible) also, too, my understanding is that ADHD presents itself slightly differently between men and women, and it's really coming out strong as.  Lesley Logan 3:34   The largest number of women are going through perimenopause at the same time. Brad Crowell 3:37   Yes, that is the point I was ultimately trying to eloquently get to, that I am not a woman to be able to say that, but that's happening right now, and so it might be that you have ADHD undiagnosed and don't know it. And if you're thinking, "Oh my god, I can't f*****g think anymore, maybe it's because of this, and it's worth going to talk to someone about it. We did, and it was hilarious. Lesley's already told the story, but in five minutes, the psychiatrist was, "Yeah, you have ADHD. I'm giving you boom. You know, you're good. Let's go. Lesley Logan 4:10   And Brad and I did. Brad Crowell 4:11   I had to do a friggin' test. Lesley Logan 4:12   You did all the tests. I was. I don't have time for these tests. Brad Crowell 4:16   I had to go do a whole computer exam and the whole nine. I mean, I'm glad I did, but also I was. I gotta go all the way back out here to this place. I mean it's like 20 minutes away, but it felt like forever. Anyway, I'm very happy that I am formally diagnosed, and it has been interesting to to be taking medication for something like this because I I just always assumed that I was just getting older and my brain wasn't working the way that it used to, and that's true, I think. But also, I wonder. I don't know. I felt very productive and you know cogent when I was younger, and then things just started to slip away for me, and I just associated that with all the things that happened in my life and.  Lesley Logan 4:55   Maybe you're going through perimenopause. Brad Crowell 4:56   Yeah, I must be. I mean, I think I think that's it. Brad Crowell 5:00   That's the conclusion. I don't even know how I didn't come to that conclusion.  Lesley Logan 5:02   You know what I will say is the psychiatrist was really thoughtful. She said, "Look, she says what you'll have to understand about yourself is it's you versus the ADHD, and if you can really understand what's me and what's ADHD, it will really help you. As is a child where my ADHD was fully showing up, and people, oh, you'

Most people were trained to look outside themselves for every answer, and the habit runs so deep it stops feeling like a choice. Well-Being therapist Jamie Lerner joins Lesley Logan to make the case that the knowing was always there, and getting back to it takes ten minutes a day, not a seventeen-point journal and a three-hour workshop. Jamie explains why laughter beats self-judgment, how alignment makes action feel effortless, and why procrastination might be the friend nobody told you about.

And if you don't nourish yourself, it's really impossible to assist others because you feel resentful, and that doesn't feel good to other people or to you. Lesley Logan 0:21   Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast, where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world, and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity, and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring bold, executable, intrinsic, and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and be it till you see it. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  Lesley Logan 1:03   Oh my goodness, loves! I am doing this intro with the most knowing, the most calm I could be. So obviously, that's a different, like it's a hummingbird calm. But the most calm and joyful, but thoughtful, and I mean, you're going to hear the word "knowing" a few times in this podcast. We have an incredible guest for you. I'm going to tell you right now. You're going to want to listen to this again. It is just wonderful reminder after reminder after reminder for you, my love. Listening to this because it's so easy to look outside of ourselves and then have frustrations about things that are going on. And our guest today is Jamie Lerner, and she is just going to help you find your absolute wonderful you-ness, your essence, and I don't mean that we're not. And this is not a double woo episode at all. This isn't even a woo. This is 100% authentic for you. I'm so excited to listen, and I hope you hit repeat, and I hope you share it with a friend, and I hope you check out what Jamie is doing if it really resonates with you because my goodness, I know I'm going to listen to this episode a few times because I just so many great reminders of what I knew. But sometimes you just get distracted because life gets crazy, and so this hopefully is your put on repeat when you need that. Here's Jamie Lerner.  Lesley Logan 2:18   All right, Be It babe, this is gonna be a magical conversation. Get ready. Be inspired, and really excited because we have the Jamie Lerner here, and I'm really thrilled. I got to meet her a while back, and just I'm amazed at what she's doing, and was so excited to talk to her. I had to bring her on. So, Jamie, can you tell everyone who you are and what you rock at? Jamie Lerner 2:36   Yes. So, I am a well-being therapist, and I used to do psychotherapy, and felt like after a while that was just not working for me or the people that I was supposedly serving. So I shifted out of that, and now doing something completely different, which is assisting people in assisting themselves from getting from where they are to where they want to be. Lesley Logan 3:03   Well, of course we have to have you on because this is called "Be It Till You See It." So you got to know where you want to be and where you are. So this is the perfect combination. You can help them. I've been trying, but this is not my forte. This is how I do my life. I just kind of act as if I'm mayor already. But you, you know how to do that? Jamie Lerner 3:21   Well, I just know how to assist people to assist themselves because that is the whole point. That hopefully they don't need me for too long because they're, yeah, they're back to recreating the relationship with themselves, and that's where it all comes from. Lesley Logan 3:37   Oh, I love that. I also love the idea that the goal is that they don't need you forever. Jamie Lerner 3:42   Exactly. Lesley Logan 3:43   Yeah, because I do think sometimes people get a little attached and they feel like they can't do it with some without somebody. I'm a Pilates instructor and I teach a lot of instructors as well to let your clients they need to take ownership of their practice because it's yes, they it's good to have eyes on them and it's good for me to be there for safety. But if when they leave the studio, they're the ones who are walking and running and picking things up, I can't tell them what to do all the time. Otherwise, they don't know how to do it. Jamie Lerner 4:10   Exactly. Lesley Logan 4:11   Well, I want to get into. You just said something. It comes from their well-being. It comes from them. I feel like we're probably born with the ability to know who we are and who we want to be, and then I don't know. Maybe we're not, and then but then the world messes things up, and then we lose track of who we are and what we want to do. Is that the case? Is it something that we all have to discover, anyways? Kind of what? What do you see is is keeping people from being taking ownership and having that well-being? Jamie Lerner 4:37   So I think we're all born with the knowing, and I think just the contrast of life, we tend to be asked to look outside of ourselves for mostly everything, a

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 0:47   Be It, babe. Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It podcast. Oh my God, guys, we are slaying through episodes more than 740. So I mean, this is insane. I can't believe we're going to be on 800 before we know it, but anyways, that's not our win. That's not it. All right. So on Fridays, it's real talk. It's real life chat with me. I'm just chatting with myself, and hopefully you're enjoying it. And then I share one of mine and one of yours. And so, okay, remember my technology pissy moments a couple months ago. So I've had something happen in my computer three times that no one can explain, and I can show it to people. And Brad has seen it in real time, and it is the whole thing. Lesley Logan 1:27   But at any rate, my computer would be looking so great, and I would put the charger on. I wouldn't read that there was a charger there, and it'd be the appropriate before anyone tells me something. It's the appropriate type of charger for the computer, and it's plugged in appropriately to an outlet, and that outlet works. And then I've tried other outlets that I know work, and other chargers are the right size and the right currency and whatever, blah blah blah. And so, anyways, I made a Genius appointment. I made a Genius appointment, and I go and I explain to the guy, and the guy is looking at me like I'm a crazy person, and he is checking to make sure that my charging thing is clean and all this stuff. Basically, the long story example of is when your car makes a sound, you take a mechanic, and the sound doesn't work anymore. It's like that. So, of course, there's no way to recreate what happened. And of course, I didn't film myself having the problem that was happening. And next time I will because I felt like a crazy person. And then, of course, they go, "Oh, we'll help you early," only for the guy to go, "Oh, I'm getting off work now, so you have to wait for this other person." And then the other person was just, I think he's. This is really a user error experience. User error. This is not my first MacBook. I know what the f**k I'm doing. I know how chargers work. Do you know who my husband is? Lesley Logan 2:34   So, anyways, while waiting in purgatory for my computer to reboot and whatever I was going to do, I will say that I did treat myself to headphones I didn't need, but I guess my event is I just think that computer technicians, mechanics, everyone should just be trained in. God, that really sucks. I don't see why that's happening. And what I will say is maybe next time, why don't you do these three things? Because it sounds like you actually are doing all the right things, so would you film it next time and then come back because we can see what's going on? Because we can't see it in the technology. There's nothing. The computer's not telling us anything, and it sounds like you're doing everything right. Blow smoke up my ass. That would be great. Just tell me I did everything right, and what to do next time it happens. And then, even though they didn't do that, did I buy something I didn't need? F**k yeah, I did, and I am really excited about it. I'm really excited about it. In fact, it probably come a win later on. Lesley Logan 3:25   But I bought myself these headphones that they also said you don't need those because you have the AirPod Three Pros, and I was, yeah, but they're not noise canceling enough, and you don't understand. Last year I was, this is how dramatic I do sound dramatic. If waterboarding could be a baby's cry, right? That's what it was for 15 hours on a flight. And my AirPods, now they weren't the Three Pros; they were the two. At any rate, they cut. They did nothing. Zero, nothing. I even put a sweatshirt hoodie over me. I tried everything. 17 hours of flight, 15 hours of nonstop crying. So I bought these things. I didn't need. This is not my win, but they also didn't want to sell me that. People don't know what you're talking about. I put them on while the landscaper was doing his leaf blower outside my office, and I barely heard it. I'm gonna tell you right now. I'm gonna have the best flights to Asia. I have three in Q4, three, and I'm gonna have the best ones, all because my computer did something stupid that they couldn't figure out. So my computer actually, my computer was looking out for me. Maybe I shouldn't yell at it so much. Anyways, okay. Thanks for going that journey with me. Lesley Logan 4:11   My win is my YouTube, my YouTube channel growth. Oh my God, you guys! I don't know if you know this, but my YouTube channel has been a real time, 12-year Be It Till You See It. I didn't ever want to do it. I would get nervous every time I'd film the videos. I would cry during some of the times because you don't even understand. 12 years ago, you couldn't even afford a tripod. My young friends who are listening couldn't even afford a tripod. That was $175 or $125, and even then, it was hard to find the thing would hold the iPhone because you didn't film. Your iPhones. You film with a DSLR. Wow, I didn't even know I would pull those letters out of my mouth. And so we didn't have lights. We didn't have microphones. Oh my God, a microphone so expensive. So, anyways, I used to just yell at the camera. But here we are, 12 years later, and in the last couple months, the channel has been growing so much, and I really have that that win is a collective community effort because I have several people on the team who help me make this magic happen. I met an incredible expert consultant who gave me some really great tips, and I'm so grateful for him. And I'm just grateful for all of you for subscribing to it and being part of it. So it's not the podcast YouTube channel; it's the OPC YouTube channel. Although you can subscribe to the podcast You

Peace, love, true success is something that you're going to define. But also, we got to get there with a regulated nervous system. We can't be an exhausted, burnt out shell of ourselves. Lesley Logan 0:16   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 0:58   Hi, Be It babe. Welcome back to our series on comparison, comparisonitis. All right. So last episode, a couple days ago, we exposed our the borrowed scoreboards. We basically talked about how we often are using what our parents or our family or societal expectations are as our scoreboards, whether or not we're good enough person and we've had success. We often are trying to do old life stuff with new life stuff. Sometimes we've even borrowed other people's goals, thinking that that sounds good. I see a lot in business coaching that I do. People are doing something in their studio, and so someone else thinks they have to do it, and then they get stressed out and frustrated by it. But it's, well, that's not part of your business plan. So why did you think if you do it? Well, everyone's doing it. No, they are doing it. Not everyone is doing it. Everybody, there's a lot of reformer students out there. You don't see me thinking that that's a good idea. So, not that it's not, but it's not for me, right? So, and I'm very clear on that. So, I want you to have some that same sort of conviction when it comes to who you are and who you want to become and how you're going to get there. And it's not going to be by using other people's scoreboards and social media's expectations and societal pressures to be something else, because then you're just going to be what they want you to be, right?  Lesley Logan 2:07   I remember hearing this this line. Oh my God, it would have been like 2011, yeah, 11, and it was if you don't have goals that are clear and your goals, somebody else's goals will become your own. You will be working on towards something. It's either what you want to do or what someone else wants to do. Now, here's the deal: there are some people who love to be a backup babe. That's but that's not what I'm talking about here, right? We're talking about the person you want to become. So, we also in the last episode had some questions you did some homework on. Please make sure you've listened to that episode before coming to this one, because we are going to shift our focus from what looks good on paper to what actually feels sustainable. Some people might even think peaceful or useful, but mostly aligned for you right now. So I really hate the question, and I get it all the time. But what is your definition of success? And I'm really proud to say this. I feel very successful right now. Based on my definition of success, I am successful. I am kicking ass. I'm doing great things. Lesley Logan 3:09   Now that being said, I'm not done, but I think it's important that you are aware that if you are working towards the person you want to become in your way, and it's very clear, and you're using your own scoreboard, then at the end of this episode, you should be patting yourself on the back. You're very successful, right? But you have to know what success means to you. For me, it is doing the things that I want to do based on the impact I want to have, and prioritizing myself while I do that means I'm in control of my schedule and who and what I say yes or no to. Lesley Logan 3:35   And when I am out of that alignment, when I feel like I'm working on someone else's timeline or someone else's schedule, then I feel icky and gross, and I have to get back in alignment with my definition of success. But in this moment, majority of the time, I am very much a very successful person. So I need you to understand that for yourself. So go back to the last episode and do those questions if you haven't already. Lesley Logan 3:57   So first thing we're going to focus on in this episode is the more versus better. So I want you when you are in comparisonitis, or when you're working, when you're putting pressure on yourself to do more. I just need more clients, or I need more time to work out, or I need more of this, or more visibility, or I just need more sit, whatever, blah blah blah. Whenever you hear yourself saying more, I actually want you to pivot it to better. What would be a better client, a better night's sleep, a better fuel source, a better friendship, a better way of taking care of yourself? Not more, right? So instead of more clients, like better clients, instead of more set, it's it's deep relationships instead of more room. It is more spaciousness in my schedule, right? It is better scheduling, better time, better tools and resources. Lesley Logan 4:52   So replacing more with better, and I think this is really important, right? Because I think we all start to accumulate and we get on this thing and we end up with a bunch of gray shirts because I need more T-shirts. So then you buy some T-shirts and you get more ads for T-shirts, and so you buy more T-shirts and all of a sudden all the T-shirts show up and you whoa! I bought this. I bought a bunch of gray T-shirts. No, that didn't happen to you. I'm the only one who clicks a couple ads and forgot what I did the day before. Yeah, I didn't think so. So really, it's no. I need better quality T-shirts that actually look good after they are washed and look good on me, not just more of them, better ones, right? I know that we're talking about success, and I'm talking about T-shirts, but sometimes it's the easier example to use. Lesley Logan 5:29   And one of my girlfriends, we talk about this a lot. You know, I've been doing what I've been doing for a long time, so I get asked to do things all the time, and I don't need more big events. I need better ones. So when I am asked, invited, I am very intentional. Who is going to be at this thing? Is this an audience I haven't had access to yet? Is this a way that I can support and make my impact even bigger so that I am not just doing more of the same thing, but I'm doing it better? Got it? I think we got it.  Lesley Logan 6:01   All right. The

Part one of a two-part series on self comparison opens with the hard truth that most people are not behind at all. Lesley Logan traces the borrowed scoreboards we inherit from parents, from past versions of ourselves, and from a social feed built entirely of highlight reels. She unpacks a goal she once wrote down that was never actually hers, and why envy works better as a diagnostic tool than a verdict.

Lesley Logan 0:11   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 0:54   Hey, Be It babe, welcome, welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast. Today we're talking about self-comparison, and ooh, I don't know if you were raised on this line, but I was raised on self-comparison is a thief of joy. I guess they didn't have the self part. The comparison is a thief of joy, and you know what? It f*****g is. So here's the deal: if you have ever looked at someone else's life online or in your community and felt this immediate sinking pit in your stomach telling you that you are behind, or you just see something, and you're just, "Why them? How do they get that?" I feel that for you. I really, really do. I heard a woman say this beautiful line at a talk the other day, and I'm going to have her on the podcast. She is scheduled, so we will have an episode with her, and we'll probably talk about this deeper. But she had said this, like, hit me. She said, "If comparison is high, clarity is low," and I think if that's all you get out of this episode, then I will, then I've done my job. But today we are going to break down the hard truth. You're probably not behind at all, right? And you know this, you know. But let's talk about why are you scoring yourself on someone else's scoreboard? Because that's what comparison is, right?  Lesley Logan 1:58   When we compare yourself to somebody else, it's just like we're using someone else's life and their scoreboard and going, "We are behind," but really, you're in your own f*****g game. So this first part. So on Thursday we'll have a second part. We're gonna just talk about comparison and do a radical success audit because I really do want you to stop outsourcing your metrics of happiness because you are comparing yourself on data that isn't the right data you need to get to where you want to go. This is called "Be It Till You See It," right? If you are using the wrong metrics to "Be It Till You See It," you're going to end up being on someone else's costume. It's going to be, don't even know what that is. "Be it till you are in their clothes." That's not going to work. So here's the deal: I am a 43-year-old woman who is talking to you right now, and oh my god, I think I was a 43-year-old in a child's body my whole life. Maybe not that old, but I definitely couldn't wait to be at the next level in the next stage. And I definitely compared myself to so many people. Being young was so hard. I was so hard on myself because, first of all, I didn't have a lot of money when I grew up, and all my friends really did. At least, if they didn't, it seemed like they did because they went to Disneyland before I could. They had cars when they were 16. I had to buy mine, right? Like there's all these just different things that they're so. Oh my god! I was in the AP classes, and these people were so smart. My B plus was the hardest work of life that I could get. My A minuses were, and they came so easy to them. Came so easy, right? And so I remember going to college, and everybody was like finding their husbands and getting married. And I was really proud to not get married in college. Lesley Logan 3:30   I mean, because one, my college was super expensive, and two, I'm, thank God, I didn't marry those men, I would have been divorced very quickly, and I probably would have had a life I didn't want to really have a hard time. So, but I do remember after 30, my 30th birthday. I remember just feeling, "Wow, I'm behind. I am behind." Because even though I knew I didn't want kids and that kind of thing, I wasn't married. In fact, I was broken up. I broke up with my partner, and I was semi-homeless, and I had to start over with my studio and blah blah blah, and I just felt behind. Wow, you know. And then it felt every single month of not being in a relationship with the right person was now I'm not going to get married at least until I'm 31. Then it's, you know what I mean, like. And then I just remember feeling I didn't have it all locked down, and I think a lot of women feel that way at a young age, whether or not you want to have children. Lesley Logan 4:24   There's this thing we've got to get this stuff done early, and as we know, that's not true. But it doesn't mean that it still doesn't feel true, right? It doesn't. It feels true. And there's also the idea, you know, retirement is around the corner. I mean, it's not really around the corner, but I want to retire early, so it's around the corner. Do I have enough money for that? I, I should have had this many members by now, so then I could do X, Y, and Z. And so it's just, it's a really hard time because there does feel like there's a timeline, and that we're trapped, and that we are behind, even if we don't look at other people, because there's just things we want to have done by now, and the reality is, as a business owner, as long as I've been, everything takes longer than we want. It will always have problems, and all of a sudden, you'll have been there, and you'll be looking back, and wow, how did that go?  Lesley Logan 5:13   Like I was at Brad's birthday party, and with a friend, and he didn't know how we met, and so I told the story. I was like, "Yeah, that was 11 years ago. That's 11 years ago. 11 years ago, when we got married, f**k. Wow, time does fly when you're having a good time. But also, we have to remember that this is a really good time for us to edit, get rid of, let go of things, not just keep accumulating, because it makes it really difficult to find the success that you want if you're trying to carry all the things from the past decades with you. So, what do you have to let go of? Is it friends? Is it a dresser you've just been shoving more shit in? Is it a car? Is it a job? Is it a goal that isn't yours?  Lesley Logan 6:03   So, for example, before I became a Lululemon ambassador, this would be 14 years ago, 15 years ago. When you come to the house, you'll see that my picture is on the wall here. It's f*****g huge, and I don't know what to do with it. So it's just right there, staring at you, the g

For some, saying no feels like closing a door forever. For others, it is the only way to protect the work that matters. Lesley is sharing why she turned down an opportunity that would have made good money, what she has learned about brands that drop the people who talk about them, and how a win can be as simple as not feeling bad about it. Maybe there is a yes you have been giving away that you should be saying no to.

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 0:48   Welcome, Be It babe, to the F**k Yeah Friday episode that has no script at the beginning. I just wing it every time, and I wung it so poorly. You'll probably hear a blooper in this episode because I. Oh my god! Normally, don't record the FYFs on Tuesday afternoons because normally that's when Brad and I would record a recap. So I think my brain is like, "Oh, it's Tuesday. You're in the pod room. You must be recording a recap without your husband. It's Friday, and we take some time to just be a human being. Don't have to be learning. We can be living. We can be celebrating what we did do together, and you know I got to get a little thing off my chest with you. Hopefully, you're in your car nodding along and understand my pain. Then I share one of your wins, and then you get to send. You get to be inspired by someone's win. You send it in to me.  Lesley Logan 1:35   So, okay, here's the deal. There's this weird thing that's going on. So, for those who have been on Instagram for a long time, meaning of like being on Instagram, like you didn't have to have a ton of followers, but like everybody wanted to send you a pair of leggings and then give you 10% off as your discount, but also you would sell the leggings and then you would get affiliate money, right? And so years ago, was everyone and their mom was literally in my DMs trying to get me to wear their f*****g leggings. Send me a free pair, and then I just have to post, and I get to have an affiliate link and make three cents, right? So that was annoying. Fast forward to okay. Now I actually want to be intentional about the companies I collab with. I want to make sure it's things that we want to tell you about. So being intentional about doing my research, trying the product, reaching out, being an affiliate for them, and then for them to go, you actually haven't sold enough of the product, so we're going to cancel your affiliation with us. So by not selling enough of the product, they wanted 20 sales in a month. You guys, someone have to have a million followers for that because most people know it takes seven to 10 hours of somebody understanding your brand before they buy something from you. So seven to 17 touch points at the least for some purchase. And so I was so frustrated because it has been 30 days. What'd you think I was going to talk about your stuff all day long every single day? Like this is QVC? No. And so it was just so annoying, and it gave me such a bad taste with the brand because that's just you know I would never do with my affiliates. If you want to be an affiliate of ours, we have it for our flashcards and we have it for Agency, and then we have referral bonuses for eLevate and for the retreat. And if you want to be, we don't go. You have to have minimum sales to get a thing. No, what I have seen is if you do really, really well, you might get better payouts. But to just completely drop the people who've been talking about you because they didn't do a good enough job? Weird. I just think it's weird. I think it's gross. It's not. It's and then all these companies like women supporting women. F**k you. No, you're not. Because you would just allow me to be an. Lesley Logan 3:37   If you saw me using my affiliate just to buy stuff at discount, okay, that is one thing, but to just feel you can keep talking about we're not going to pay you because you didn't. I don't know something about it just really irks me because wait, that's not that's not how things go. And you know, there's been other companies have taken really really good care of me, really really amazing, and then they got rid of their affiliate program. Very different thing, very very different thing, and so this is not me bitching about that stuff. It's just like the ones you. I don't know. I just think why can't I just tell people about the product that I love and then maybe one a month come to you? Maybe that's it, right? Maybe get one a month. Maybe actually my people already buy your stuff and they're like, oh, Les likes to do it. I'll keep buying more, but you'll never know, right? It's just weird. I don't know. Why can't we just all get along? Why can't we all support each other? That's all. That's what this complaint is about.  Lesley Logan 4:25   All right. So my win, my win because I think I've like hit that pinata to death. So I had an invitation to do something that, to be honest, would have actually been fine and aligned with the business, and we would have made it work, and probably would have made some good money on it. And I said no because it was going to affect my well-being and my commitments to myself, and my sleep, and my routines. And I have so many friends who work for themselves who will just say yes to every speaking gig, and they will just work from every hotel, and they just wear this badge of busy. And I cannot do that. And it's really interesting because, like, there is this fear that can come up. Oh my god! If I tell people I'm going to say no to things, then people will stop asking me. And I'm sure that's true. I guess it could happen. But I also really do believe that this is not advice for you if you're brand new at the thing you're doing, okay? But I've been doing this for a long time, a long time. I've been doing this a long time, and I also did so much travel, and then no travel because of pandemic, and then a little bit travel, and then so much travel, and I love it, and I would love to go everywhere all of the time. I'd love to say yes, and the truth is, is that I can't do the good work that I'm doing and say yes to every single thing. So I said no to this thing. I said I can't do it this time, but please keep me in mind for the rest, for other things. You know, it's not a never. It's just not a today, and send them on with some other support. And then I didn't feel bad about it, and I also think that t

Saying yes to everyone sounds generous right up until you notice who is actually paying for it. Lesley Logan and Brad Crowell recap their favorite takeaways from the conversation with transformational coach, speaker, and author Peter Kolat, also known as Polish Peter, who landed in Detroit at fourteen with no English and rebuilt his life after a recession and a divorce. Brad gets honest about the job he stayed in way too long and what finally made it unbearable.

Lesley Logan 0:12   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. Brad Crowell 0:53   Take it away. Lesley Logan 0:56   Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap for my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the authentic convo I had with Peter Kolat, also known as Polish Peter, in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause us now. Go back and listen to Polish Peter, and then come back and join us. Brad Crowell 1:15   Yeah, Polish Peter, I love it. Lesley Logan 1:15   I know. It's on his Zoom call. It says Polish Peter. Brad Crowell 1:18   That's what he calls himself. Yeah, he explained it in the episode. I kind of had a good chuckle, but yeah, a lot of fun. Lesley Logan 1:24   I mean, he's Polish. Brad Crowell 1:25   Well, there's that. I mean, I hope I would hope he's Polish. He better f*****g be Polish if he's calling himself Polish.  Lesley Logan 1:32   And he's not just Polish. He's from Poland. So there's that. All right. So today is September 17th. Here's the deal, guys. We're gonna get down and dirty because you know what? The day before recording this, I'm a little, I'm a little annoyed. So we're in on this stuff. It is whether or not people wanted to celebrate this day. There, we are celebrating it. It is National DEI Day. Brad Crowell 1:53   It's September 17th. Lesley Logan 1:54   That's right. It's September 17th. It is National DEI Day. National DEI Day champions our nation's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion every September 17th, sharing its date with Constitution and Citizenship. Wow, with Constitution and Citizenship Days. I wonder if the people who aren't into DEI have ever read the Constitution or taken a citizenship test. Anyways, it reinforces values of democracy and belonging. I am zesty today, and belonging. Communities nationwide are encouraged to wear blue and unite to celebrate equity in action. Discover resources, participate in discussions, and support initiatives that foster a truly inclusive society. So, Brad put some stuff together. Brad Crowell 2:36   Yeah, DEI. Here's what each word actually means, but completely stripped of political charge that's been layered with all of the craziness that's been happening. Lesley Logan 2:47   Okay, by the way, if anyone's triggered by the fact that we're talking about DEI, they're already gone.  Brad Crowell 2:51   So yeah, this is probably already gone.  Lesley Logan 2:53   Yeah, but this is for our people who needed to explain it to their family members.  Brad Crowell 2:57   Well, yeah, I think it's really important. DEI is just this supercharged acronym. We told my dad that our government is going after people about. They've shut down grants to universities because the university has a DEI class. But what is DEI? What does that actually mean? Right. The D stands for Diversity. The E is Equity. The I is Inclusion. But D includes the presence of people with different backgrounds, identities, and experiences in a group or organization. So that's all different backgrounds, identities, and experiences. This includes, but is not limited to, race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic background. Right? Lesley Logan 3:42   Yeah. If you're poor. Brad Crowell 3:43   You're DEI, right? National origin, so that could certainly be people from another country. It could also mean religion, and also side note, every f*****g person who's ever been in the military. Lesley Logan 3:56   Yeah, you're DEI. When we told my family member, we're like, you're DEI. I'm like, you are over 65, so that's an age thing. You are a veteran. Brad Crowell 4:07   Yep. Lesley Logan 4:08   DEI. Brad Crowell 4:09   Yeah. Lesley Logan 4:09   There it is. You are. I have a sweatshirt that says you're probably DEI too. Brad Crowell 4:14   Yeah. So that's the D. So E is designing systems so that outcomes aren't predetermined by someone's starting point, so it's not the same as equality, giving everyone the same thing, right? This is equity. Equity means adjusting for the fact that different people face different barriers. Lesley Logan 4:35   Yeah, I mean, if you grow up in a poor area of town in the U.S., that likely means that your school has less funding, which means if you're able to be a straight-A student in your school with less funding, equity means that they see you similarly to someone who went to a very high-end school versus like, "Oh well, you got a 3.8 at this school, but these people have 4.2's." No, they're like, "Oh hi, that's insane, that's amazing, whoa, we should look at that." Brad Crowell 5:08   Well, it's adjusting. Yeah, exactly. It's adjusting for the fact that the

Peter Kolat spent years saying yes to everyone and quietly losing himself in the process. A transformational coach and author, he tells Lesley Logan how a divorce and what he calls his optimistic depression became the turning point that rebuilt his life. Peter breaks down how to catch people-pleasing in the act, write a one-page vision that protects your priorities, and get honest about who you actually need to become. This one is for anyone tired of performing and ready to just be themselves.

You say yes to everything and everyone except for the things that are most important to you. I know deep down inside. You do know deep down inside. I know I should not be saying yes, but I'm saying yes, right? And what ends up happening most of the time? The people who are closest to you get hurt the most. Lesley Logan 0:19   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 1:02   You guys, I'm excited for this conversation. It's really fun. We got to talk a lot of things. We got to talk about rock bottoms, divorce, finding a partner, authenticity, true authenticity, people pleasing. My people pleasers, you know, hear this podcast. It's so good. So Polish Peter is our guest today. He is an author of a book you're gonna want to read, especially if you are, ah, I know I need to be authentic, but authenticity been ruined. We just have a really great conversation around that, and I think this is really going to help those who are feeling a little stuck. Those need a reminder to keep going. Those of you who've just kind of lost the way or have been, why is this happening to me? All great stuff in this episode. So here is Polish Peter. All right, be babe. I'm really excited. This is gonna be a fun conversation. I already know because I've already talked to this person before, and we're just gonna get into it. Polish Peter, who are you? What do you rock at? Well, are you Polish Peter? Is that your formal name? Should we give a last name, or we just go by Polish Peter?  Polish Peter Kolat 1:55   No, there is a last name. It's called Kolat, Peter Kolat. But what ended up happening over the years in my industry, I've been now coaching people and things like that, I've been referred to as Polish Tony, like in regards to Tony Robbins, and then the kind of Polish Peter kind of stuck with me. So that's how it just happened like that. Lesley Logan 2:11   I love it. You know, that's how nicknames come about. I used to always go by my last name, and then people just called me LL, and I was going do I want to be LL, and actually, I do. It's like a whole alter ego. I step into a different power. It's super fun. So you're an inspiration. How did we get here? How did that happen? Did you always be someone who was inspiring, like a Tony Robbins, or was there a journey that got you there? Polish Peter Kolat 2:34   No, I drank some Kool-Aid. No, I think it was. I mean, I think my whole life. I think there was something that I thought I was something bigger than I was meant for something bigger. I don't know. There was some kind of innate kind of a feeling that I wasn't meant to work for someone else. It was always something that I needed to know, do my own path, kind of a thing. So I think there was always something like that. And the more I started, especially after 2011, I went more into this, because people kept telling me, "Listen, I think you should be a coach. I think you should be the person who's speaking to people because of who you are, your story. I think would benefit a lot of people." And when you start looking from that perspective, you start to, okay, let's do it. Let's try it on. See how it happens. Lesley Logan 3:20   Yeah, I think we're all meant to step into something bigger than ourselves, and some of us follow that calling, and some of us get stuck. So, do you feel like you did something uniquely different that you didn't get stuck like other people? Was it scary to try to do something bigger than you? What was the journey there? Polish Peter Kolat 3:38   Yeah, I mean that's a really good question. I think that is true. People do get sometimes stuck, and I think for me it was. Think about it this way: every single person in the world has some kind of a story, right? And I don't think these stories are meant to just die. I think the stories are meant to you help other people on their journey because my circumstances might be completely different, but maybe sharing my story with you maybe will help you give you some kind of different impact that you are going to make different choices in life or inspire you or whatever might be. So I think we're all called to do that. Now I think it kept me going is couple of beliefs that I have. One, I have a belief that life happens for me, not to me. So if life happens for me, not to me, then there must be something behind that. You know what I mean, that drives me. The other thing I have this belief that, and sometimes that helped me, sometimes it didn't really help me, is that I don't quit. I don't quit very easily. And what ended up happening, I when I sometimes talk to my students, and this is not the best of analogies, but at some point I came up with, and I just keep using it. Imagine if you're standing in front of a drywall and you're banging against the wall, something is going to give. Either you're going to stop banging your head against the wall, or the drywall is going to break through. Lesley Logan 4:52   Yeah.  Polish Peter Kolat 4:53   And when you start looking, not giving up, maybe s
