So she said, it's about coming back home to who you actually are. Instead of trying to change all these things that are you're doing, or in your life, or all these external things, it's internal. Lesley Logan 0:24   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 1:06   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 liberating convo I have with Angie Hawkins in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to pause, because she's pretty cool. I think she's. Brad Crowell 1:19   She's cool. Also like really powerful story. Lesley Logan 1:21   Powerful story, and thoughtful and, like, talk about it, be it till you see it story, and she's helping people. And so, I mean, you got to listen to it. You definitely should listen to it. Brad Crowell 1:30   Yeah, it's, it's, if you're sensitive to talking about suicide, she didn't go into gory details. But, like, yeah, that was, that's part of her story.  Lesley Logan 1:38   You can skip that part. Yeah. We talk about, I mean, you can skip that part.  Brad Crowell 1:42   I think it also made it even that much more powerful, because it wasn't like she was a angst, angsty teenager. You know, she was in, she was, she had a corporate career, and, like, even moved, you know, to a beautiful place to live. And still, you know, was, was unfulfilled and unhappy, and now today, she seems like she has come a long way. In a much different place. Lesley Logan 2:05   Yeah, I agree. And I, you know, it's hard when it's hard when people kind of bring up that part of their story, because I am like, oh gosh, I have, like, inserted a hey, skip ahead 30 seconds. And also they're on the other side of it. So I do kind of feel like hearing the whole journey is important too. Like, I don't want to take that away from people, and so it's, it's hard to make the decision. But also I, and I want people to speak really about their life. And I just really like her, I like what she's doing. I like her book. Everything's good. So today is April 23rd 2026 and it's Love Your Thighs Day.  Brad Crowell 2:37   That's right.  Lesley Logan 2:38   Love thyself. Brad Crowell 2:39   Love thy thighs. Lesley Logan 2:40   Yeah, no. Love thigh thigh self. Love thigh self.  Brad Crowell 2:43   Love thigh self.  Lesley Logan 2:44   Yes. This day is celebrated on the fourth, yeah, this day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of a of April every year, and this year, it falls on April 23rd. Women all over the world have a love hate relationship with their bodies. They're constantly encouraged to love their bodies in a society where beauty standards have been predefined and sometimes are unreachable. In fact, most f*****g time, Love Your Thighs Day seeks to mitigate this and tell all women around the world that no matter what their bodies look like, they should love them because it's theirs to cherish. You know, it's really interesting this last year's award season, the women are getting a little too, like, on the too skinny side. And I hate saying that because I don't want to judge. Brad Crowell 3:28   The 90s, the 90s thing.  Lesley Logan 3:29   Yeah. And it's just really hard because, like, we grew up with that, so that was just, like, the norm, and like, whatever ones are trying to be. And then we had this like, moment where we're like, oh my god, that's, like, so unhealthy. And like, there, here's all the information, and like you can't, like you can't, bigger doesn't mean unhealthy, and all these different things. And now we're seeing that again, and it's it's hard for me to watch because I've also been too skinny. And, you know, I get people who say s****y things to me because I they my old YouTube videos are up, and we don't take them down. And you know, I'm in a different body that I'm learning to love and the and I like, I think it's interesting, because people like, oh, you used to be skinnier, and it's like, yeah, I used to be younger, too. I used to, used to have a different metabolism. I used to live in LA, like, I used to, I used to not teach Pilates. Like, there's a lot of used to's. So it's just really kind of interesting. I think the other thing that's really interesting is whenever they're trying to take your rights away. We talked about this before in the podcast, whenever they're trying to take women's rights away. If you look at the trends of what women what beauty in women is, it's always the skinny body, because they want you starving so you're not fueled in your brain to realize they're taking your rights away. The trad wife situation and being super thin, all of that coincides with every time they try to take women's rights away. And so I would just say, like, there's a great book. It's called the body is not an apology. The Body Is Not an Apology by Sonya Renee Taylor , excellent listen-to on tape if you are not a reader. Beautiful book to read. She had a great interview with Brené Brown many, many years ago because somebody attributed Sonia's quotes to Brené Brown, and Brené Brown's like, that's not my quote. Who said that? Let's make sure we give it to that person. And then Brené Brown interviewed her, and the whole patriarchy would fall down if we all, as women,

In this raw and honest episode, Inner Glow Coach Angie Hawkins joins the pod to share why changing your environment won’t fix what’s going on inside, and how to love yourself without chasing approval. After moving 4,000 miles to Hawaii and realizing her struggles followed her, Angie hit a rock bottom moment that led to an intentional overdose, and a life-changing wake-up call. She shares how she rebuilt from that place by setting healthy boundaries, questioning old beliefs, and finally choosing herself.

And her response was, it's not your time. And it was so profound that it sent a cold chill through my body. Lesley Logan 0:16   I have chills right in this moment.  Angie Hawkins 0:18   Yeah, and I in that moment, I was like, okay, I think I have a purpose. And I was determined to figure out what it was. Lesley Logan 0:28   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 1:11   All right, Be It babe. When I met this woman, I knew I had to have her on because she she had, in her story you're gonna hear so much of you, and then you're going to hear her transformation, and it's what a lot of you are trying to be it till you see. I will say, in her journey, we do have, we do discuss a suicide attempt. If that is something that's going to activate you today, please honor yourself. It isn't, doesn't go into detail, but it's, it's a part of her journey. And I do think it is worthy to hear the whole journey of how she got to where she is, how she becomes the inner glow coach that she is, and also like how you can have inner glow in your life, and how that changes things. And she's just so authentic and so cool. And I'm really jazzed for you to hear this. So here's Angie Hawkins.  Lesley Logan 1:57   Hey, Be It babe. I'm really excited and ready for this conversation. Our guest today is Angie Hawkins, and I think you're gonna hear a lot of similarities in her story and her journey and what she's working on. If you have ever felt like you've done all the things and it's still not working, today's episode is for you. So Angie Hawkins, can you tell everyone who you are and what you rock at? Angie Hawkins 2:19   Yes. Hi everyone. Thank you for having me, Lesley. I am an inner glow coach, and what that means is I help high achieving women stop chasing love and approval and everything outside of themselves, and actually radiate it from within, so they can finally feel happy, free and loved for who they are. And I am also the author of Running in Slippers, which is a raw and vulnerable memoir, that the whole point of the book, because it's very vulnerable, is to encourage connection through vulnerability, because that's how we truly connect as human beings.  Lesley Logan 2:49   I couldn't agree more. Also, if you're not watching this beautiful woman on our YouTube channel, are those fresh flowers in your hair? Where are you living right now that you get to have those beautiful flowers in your hair? Angie Hawkins 3:01   I live in Hawaii, so yes, I have fresh flowers in my earrings. Lesley Logan 3:05   Oh, my god, stop. Well, okay, so Running in Slippers, like, most like, I feel like there's a book like, Running in Heels, which already sounds terrible, Running in Slippers isn't easy to do either. Can we go into like, can we get vulnerable a little bit and talk about, like, how did that title come about? Like, what? What is the journey that you had to go on? Because I do think, by the way, if you're listening, we all get to go on a journey like that is the beautiful thing about this life. And sometimes I think we feel like, why is this happening to me? But there's something we get to learn from that. So can you, can we hear yours? Angie Hawkins 3:36   Yes, I love that. And first of all, I before I get into my whole story, which, honestly, the book Running in Slippers gets into all the details, because what I'm going to give you is just the high level cliff notes version. But I live in Hawaii, and we call flip flops, slippers, so it really means running in flip flops. Lesley Logan 3:52   Even harder, even more dangerous. Angie Hawkins 3:55   So, but the reason I titled the book that way is because it's a metaphor for life, because life, it can be fun, playful and adventurous, but it can also be difficult, painful and scary, just like running in flip flops.  Lesley Logan 4:07   Yeah, oh, that's so funny. Can you tell I'm totally not an island girl and I do call them slippers. And they can be, like, very childlike, like, you're running on the beach, like, it's really cool, and then you all of a sudden are running on a slippery sidewalk. And, yeah.  Angie Hawkins 4:21   Exactly. So, yeah. I think once people understand what it means, it's relatable. And if you do read the book, or anyone listening, if you do read the book, I explained that immediately in the introduction, so that people don't think I'm actually running in house slippers or like that just ruins the whole meeting. I think. Lesley Logan 4:39   I mean, well, you know what? Actually like I was picturing, like you going through something, just like being a girl in her house shoes like running, chasing a dream down. Angie Hawkins 4:48   I think there's so many metaphors, yeah. Lesley Logan 4:51   Awesome. Well, let's get into the Cliff Notes. I love it.  Angie Hawkins 4:55   Yes. So basically, like most people, my origin story starts in childhood. And I was raised in a household where the most succinct way to say it i

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   Hi, Be It babe. How are you? Oh my god. We're in the middle of April. We did it. We're here. I'm home. I'm back from Europe. I have so much to say about that, but I'll be in a future episode. So it's f**k yeah Friday. So we get really cool about talking about what's going well, what's fun, what, what did we do? Because if we don't celebrate the little things and the big wins, then who, who is right? I mean, actually today's inspiration on the internet, someone is and I, I have so much love for this post, and I also just feel like it helps remind, like, remind us that we're human beings and we can do certain things for people as well. So I mean, obviously, all capacities are different, but let me, let me show the story. So Madeline Schizas asked for an extension to our college assignment and see how our professor responded. So the the post is like, hi, Professor, blah, blah, blah. I'm a student in your sociology course, and I'm wondering if I can get a short extension on this week's reflection. I was competing in the Olympic Games yesterday, and thought the reflection was due Sunday, not Friday. Here is the Canadian Olympic Committee press release to confirm my participation. Thanks for your consideration. So cute, right? Like, by the way, I'd be this girl. This would be me going, I'm at the Olympics, and I have homework too, and here's a proof I'm actually gonna be in the Olympics. But this is how her professor responded. Hi, Madeline. Wow. What a special moment. Yes, in this circumstance, an extension is perfectly fine. I'd say focus on the competition right now and submit it directly to me when it's done. The triple, let's triple toe combo is a pretty hard move to master, but you've got this. Good luck. The whole country is rooting for you and your teammates. PS, when I was 10, I scored a goal in hockey, and that was challenging enough for me. And then there's another picture. He created an Instagram account just so he could post a picture of him watching her compete. I mean, the world needs more teachers like this now and then she she posted this, and she also shares, like, Wow, I can't believe everyone cared so much. I gotta get the extension. And so, so I just think it's so I just think that's so sweet and so special. And like, what a cool professor, not just to, like, give the extension, because, of course, that's what they would do. Like, that's the right thing to do, but also to be like, here I'm rooting for you like that's we all need teachers like that, and I know we have a lot of different types of teachers who watch and listen to this pod. And you're probably like that for someone else, and you might not even know it, but you you are. And so thanks for being here. Thanks for listening.  Lesley Logan 3:15   Okay, your win. This one comes from Vickie McEntire. So here's my win this week. Hell, this month, I hosted a Joe's gym to raise money for the local food pantry, and we brought in $500 we had fun, we played, we practiced. Heck, $500 for that's a huge donation for them. That's amazing. Way to go. Vickie, way to make it a community event. Way to make it fun. Way to make everyone wins there, right? Like everyone you, you get to have that achievement that you did this for them. They get to feel good because they gave money to them. Together, you guys gave a lot of money, and you all got to do Pilates. I love that. Thank you for sharing. You all should send your wins in to beitpod.com/questions so I can celebrate your wins here, and you can be reminded of the amazing things that you do.  Lesley Logan 3:58   So all right, here's the deal. I'm a recovering perfectionist and overachiever, and I have a really hard time sometimes, like turning the brain off. And I was given a suggestion that I don't have to in all conversations, help people with a problem, they have, meaning if they're not putting a question mark on the statement, I don't have to give them an answer, and so then maybe I wouldn't feel so pressured to be on calls in regular life. I'm not talking about work life, I'm talking about regular life, not the coaching calls, but regular life. Maybe I wouldn't feel the pressure to be on the call, because I'm not there to be anything other than, oh, wow, I'm sure you'll figure that out. Right? Like, I don't have to give advice, and then if my advice isn't taken, I don't feel frustrated that, like I gave you all this advice and you didn't take it. So I feel feel really good about that. And so I've been practicing that. Like, if they're not asking me for advice. I don't have to be the advice giver. What a world. I didn't know that that was a thing. I mean, not that I go around just like giving people unsolicited advice. It's not what I do. But I kind of have become that friend and family member who like, does that like I think people just assume I will. And so maybe they're not even putting question marks on it. And so now it's like, unless you put a question mark on it, I'm not gonna. I'm trying really hard to just go, oh, how interesting.  Lesley Logan 5:29   Okay, we it's one week in the body and the brain, and so it will take time. So what I'm gonna say right now is, what a load off. It already feels like a win, and it's only a load off and a week and, I mean, we'll see how things go as they progress. But I just want to share that with you, because, in case you're like me, and you are avoiding phone calls, not that I'm saying you're going to answer the phone calls. I'm not saying you do that. That's a different win, but you're avoiding the phone calls because you're like, Oh, they're gonna just not take the advice I have. I guess the moral of the story is, like, we don't have to give it, and that's the win. All right, Be It babe, you're amazing. I hope that made sense to you. I mean, since like attracts like, I think it might have.  Lesley Logan 6:11   Okay. Your mantra for the week. I am still learning, so it's okay to

And what he was saying is, like, those are both actual extremes. Yeah, you know, what if we were grounded or self-centered? Or what if we focus about centered self, not like, in a negative way, but like, how do we— Lesley Logan 0:23   I know so— Brad Crowell 0:24   How can we be both of those things instead of like, one or the other?  Lesley Logan 0:28   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 1:10   Take it away there, Lesley. Lesley Logan 1:13   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 thought-provoking convo I had with Billy Lhar in our last episode.  Brad Crowell 1:21   Yeah, we are.  Lesley Logan 1:22   If you haven't listened to that interview, you should, you could pause this now and hear what I sound like, not with a sinus infection. And then, if you're new, you'll be like, this girl's voice sucks. I can't stand it. And then you'll stick it out.  Brad Crowell 1:33   Yeah.  Lesley Logan 1:34   You'll stick it out.  Brad Crowell 1:34   Stick it out. You will—  Lesley Logan 1:35   I promise you— Brad Crowell 1:36   You'll do that we believe in you.  Lesley Logan 1:38   I promise you, this is not this, too shall pass. What if someone's like, oh, my God, I loved her voice when she had the science affection, and now, when it's gone, like, ugh.  Lesley Logan 1:50   Well, today is April 16, 2026 and it's National Healthcare Decisions Day. Huh? Interesting. Let's see where this goes. Brad Crowell 1:58   (Laughs) Lesley Logan 1:59   This day is observed every year on April 16, the day after tax day interesting as well. Are you aware that there are times you might need to make some decisions about your health care, but be incapacitated to make them? Oh, this is an interesting okay, I thought I felt like the health insurance companies, but this is about us— Brad Crowell 2:13   No.  Lesley Logan 2:14   This is— Brad Crowell 2:14   This is about in personal health care decisions that we can make.  Lesley Logan 2:17   This day is set aside to help you take care of those potential situations ahead of time is a day for patients or healthcare receivers to make known to health professionals the kind of adequate care they wish to receive and have those wishes respected and met. Well, whether they'll be respected and met, are different stories in the United States healthcare situation, but I do agree we Brad and I are supposed to have sat down his parents are going to annoy us until we do and actually, like, talk about our Do Not Resuscitate stuff and all that.  Brad Crowell 2:44   Yeah. It's like, called advanced direction, or something— Lesley Logan 2:47   Directive? Brad Crowell 2:48   Direct, yeah, Advanced Directive. Maybe that's it. Yeah. So we've been on a healthcare tour, and we've been—  Lesley Logan 2:53   We are using the insurance we pay for.  Brad Crowell 2:57   We absolutely are— Lesley Logan 2:58   We are annoying the hell out of them. We are going to use every benefit they say we pay for.  Brad Crowell 3:03   Well, it's also not like a fast, quick decision. We started doing this, like, I don't know, 18 months ago?  Lesley Logan 3:09   Oh yeah, it says it's taken you 18 months to get the results you got today.  Brad Crowell 3:13   I'm not even kidding, it's insane to me.  Lesley Logan 3:15   (Laughs) There's nothing wrong with you.  Brad Crowell 3:15   Yeah, they were like, hey, everything's good up there. Your brain. I'm like, well, that makes me feel good, but what the heck it took that long anyway? Yeah, it's been a it's been a whirlwind, and we've been learning a lot of things. Just like you have a last will and testament, you also need to have something called an, I'm looking up now to get the exact phrasing of it. But like, what the last will test— Lesley Logan 3:40   You have to do it when you, like, do surgeries and stuff like that. So you have to, you should talk with your partners and your families about your wishes.  Brad Crowell 3:46   Yeah, it's called a living will, or an Advanced Directive. It's a legal document for healthcare that outlines your treatment preferences if you become incapacitated—  Lesley Logan 3:56   Oh, I, let me just tell you, you guys want to go on a journey. Because I remember, I remember, oh, my God, what was her name? It's not in my head, because I'm on Dayquil, but when I grew up, I remember she was on the cover of every tabloid magazine, and her husband was made out to be this big villain because he wanted to pull the plug.  Brad Crowell 4:14   Oh, in Florida, yeah.  Lesley Logan 4:17   Oh, you guys want to, okay, you're listening to a podcast. Go to the You're Wrong About Series. Go all the way back to the beginning. They have what is that woman's Sherry? Sherry. It's coming. Tyvo. Sherry Tyvo. Sherry Livo? Sherry— Brad Crowell 4:33   Tyvan?  Lesley Logan 4:33   No, Sherry Tyvo  Brad Crowell 4:37   Coma case. Lesley Logan 4:38   In Florida in the 90s. Brad Crowell 4:43   Terry. T Y— Lesley Logan 4:44   Terri Schiavo!  Brad Crowell 4:45   Schiavo.  Lesley Logan 4:46   Not I had, oh my God! Brad Crowell 4:47   You did. You had it backwards.  Lesley Logan 4:48   Woah! I had Sherry Tyvo.  Brad Crowell 4:50   (Inaudible) Lesley Logan 4:50   And it's Terri Schiavo. You guys, the more Adderall I am, the more dislikes like I think I am. I think it's ju

Forget the cliché advice to "get out" of your comfort zone; digital nomad Billy Lahr reveals why you should actually be working harder to get into it. In this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast, mindfulness coach and former dean joins Lesley Logan to challenge the "hustle culture" obsession with escaping comfort, arguing instead that we must distinguish it from the "complacency zone" by expanding our capacity from the inside out, much like stretching a pizza dough. Billy brings a refreshing, no-nonsense perspective on identity, curiosity, and the importance of maintaining a "centered self."     If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/podcast https://lesleylogan.co/podcast/.

And I can tell you, just from my own personal experience, that a lot of that has exacerbated this feeling of isolation and loneliness and this longing for a deeper connection. Lesley Logan 0:31   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 1:13   All right, Be It babe. I'm really stoked for today's episode we had, I have the most fun talking to Billy Lahr as our guest, and it was really funny. We didn't talk about what he does until halfway through the podcast. And I don't want to ruin it. I don't want to spoil it for you, but we actually talked about comfort zones, and should you stay in them? Should you get out of them? And a whole lot more insights and I just think it's really fun. We talk about curiosity. And so I think you're just going to enjoy all of this. Oh, and the Be It Action Items at the end, f*****g fabulous. You'll love them. So here you go. Here's Billy Lahr. Lesley Logan 1:45   All right, Be It babe. I'm super excited we have a total, like, true digital nomad as our guest today. Billy Lahr is here, and I kind of am obsessed. Because before I bought a house, and, like, settled in and like, loved being at home, my husband and I used to be nomads. Someone thought like we'll just be nomadic people. So we just dabble in it. But you do it full time. Can you tell us what you rock at and why you why you're a digital nomad? Billy Lahr 2:11   I rock at curiosity. I would say that's my superpower. I like to ask questions. I never, ever, whenever I meet people, I never asked the question, what do you do? That's the most boring question in the world. And there's a couple of reasons why I don't ask that. I actually got that tip from past guests on my podcast named Jesse Ross, and the way I look at it is, what you do, one, is usually the least interesting thing about you, like I taught, I taught English for 21 years. Everyone had one of me. Everyone knows what I did. So that's it's not fun for me to talk about that. Secondly, people generally don't like to talk about work outside of work unless they're super involved and they love what they do. Most people do what they do because it pays the bills. And there's nothing wrong with that. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, and we'll come back to that a little bit later. But the third reason is, I think people over identify with their roles, their jobs. I live in Korea now, and I see that a lot, there is a pressure to have a certain status. And I feel like whenever you talk to people about what do you do, you can feel them recoil because they don't want to talk about it. So the first question I always ask all of my guests is, what are 10 roles that you play in your life? To me, that's a more interesting question. Now, the first four or five answers are always something familial. You know, for me, I'm a brother, I'm a son, I'm an uncle. Those things come like that. Then when you get into those later examples, you have to dig deep into what roles you actually play. So for me, digital nomad, Pearl Jam fanatic. I've seen Pearl Jam 54 times in nine states. I'm an avid paddle boarder. I've paddle boarded off five continent coasts. So those are the kind of things that are interesting and lead to better conversation. And because of my curiosity, I'm able to kind of wiggle my way through the mundane to get to those types of conversations. Lesley Logan 4:32   Yeah. I mean, I think, like, first of all, you're not wrong there. I go to a lot of parties, and of course, like, people are asking, what do you do? And this for me, most of the time, when people do ask me that I'm on a plane going somewhere and I and I'm like, well, it's gonna be really weird when I tell you what I actually do, because you're like, then why are you going to where you're going? That doesn't make sense. So it can be interesting and weird, but also, like not many people want to talk about their job, like you said, or it's like, it is the least interesting thing about them, or it's it is something that pays the bills. And so there are other things, but they're never asked that questions. They don't even know how to describe themselves or talk about themselves. And the fact that you're curious must mean that you meet cooler versions of people, like we can meet the same people, but because you can be more curious than me, you're gonna meet a version of them that, like I might have, li

One anonymous Saturday ritual at a local bookstore can spark a movement that transforms an entire children’s hospital. In this "F**k Yeah Friday" episode, Lesley Logan shares the touching story of a grandfather whose weekly gift evolved into the "Books for Bravery" program, now delivering 47 books every Sunday. Beyond community miracles, she highlights personal listener wins like her Aunt Vickie’s surprise family celebration and the joy of divisional playoff football. She also gets vulnerable about her own journey toward a professional ADHD diagnosis, emphasizing why self-advocacy is the ultimate win after realizing she was exhausted by trying to manage through yet another system.   If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/podcast https://lesleylogan.co/podcast/.

Lesley Logan 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 0:47   Hi, Be It babe. Happy April 10th, happy FYF. It's F**k Yeah Friday. And did I tell you guys? Maybe I told you guys? Maybe I didn't. Did I tell you guys? I met this incredible one of our listeners? Hi, I met one of our incredible listeners. I'll keep your name out of it, but she was at the airport on her way to the Pilates World Expo, which is where I got to see her, and she said that she couldn't get her AirPods to connect. And she was hit play on the podcast, and it was like it was the Be It Pod, obviously, that's why I'm telling the story. And so she hits play, and her AirPods aren't connecting, and it goes it's F**k Yeah Friday, it's just like, f**k yeah, at the airport and all these people look over and this woman is stunning. She's so beautiful, and like, not someone you would think is gonna play out loud in an airport. It's F**k Yeah Friday, I just laughed so hard. And also I hope we have issues like I think you have more listeners now. I'm like, we need them. So thank you for exposing people to this amazing episode where we give you some inspiration, something to think about, your wins, my wins, and a mantra, right? Let's keep it short. Let's keep it tight. Let's keep it fun.  Lesley Logan 1:56   This won't be fun. This part is inspirational in a way that we have action to take. So, all right, so here is, here's something that inspired me on the internet. Are you ready? @stranger_wisdom_ but @bookloverswriting shared it, so, I work at a bookstore. Old man comes in every Saturday, 3pm buys one book. Always pays cash, always asks for it to be gift wrapped. Does this every week. Been doing it for six years. Never misses a Saturday. Finally asked him, must be quite a collection you're building. He smiled. I don't keep them. Confused look on my face. Every Sunday, I go to the Children's Hospital, leave the book at the nurse's station, anonymously, whichever kid needs it most that week. Been doing it since my grandson was there leukemia. He beat it, five years cancer free now, their voice cracked a little, but I remember those long days of scared nights, and I remember the random book someone left, how it gave him something to focus on besides fear. Never found out who left that book, so I decided to be that person for other kids, other scared families. One book a week doesn't seem like much, but it helps one kid forget they're scared for even an hour. It's worth it. I didn't know what to say. Told my manager she got emotional. We decided something, every book he buys, we match it two books to the hospital instead of one. Told him the next Saturday. He cried in the middle of the store. You'd do that? Every single week, I promised. Word spread. Other customers started asking to participate. Now we have a program. Books for Bravery. Customers donate. We buy books, deliver them every Sunday started with two books a week. Now we're at 47 books a week, all because one grandfather refused to forget. 47 books a week. That's insane, right? So that man still comes every Saturday, still buys one book, still asks for gift wrap, but now he's not alone. There's usually five or six other people that are doing the same thing. They become friends. Call themselves the Saturday Book Club, but they never actually read together. 622 books delivered so far. We started keeping letters from parents and from kids. One said I was so scared that I found a book on my nightstand had a note, from someone who believes you're brave. I read it 12 times. It helped. That's why we do it. The grandfather's grandson came in last month. He's 14, now, healthy and strong, and wanted to meet the staff. My grandpa told me, what y'all do? I want to help. Can I volunteer? Now he comes every Saturday, helps pick books, write encouraging notes to put inside. Ah, I mean, there's some good, amazing people out there, you know, you think, like, I'm just doing this one thing. And like, who would know and how much is like it affecting, but like it affects people, right? And doesn't like the one book was like for weeks and weeks and months and months, and then other people joined in. And now, just like all the kids who are going to are going to be touched by that, because there's, there's a new kid with cancer in the hospital all the time, right? So I just love that story. Love that story. I hope you did too.  Lesley Logan 4:55   All right, so now your win. This comes from Amie Schantz. She is an OPC member and she shared this. Okay, this, I will give her the this also just say she sent this in in January. Sorry, I'm a little I'm catching up on all of your amazing wins to share this. So keep sending him in. Don't worry, just because it will be a few months down the road, you'll need the reminder. So Amie Schantz says, I un-holidayed my house and squeezed in some alone Pilates while my favorite instructor was on vacation. Well, way to go to get your own Pilates in. Your own session just because they're gone, I'm so proud of you. Way to do it. You know, people always like, oh, my trainers, I can't do anything. There's weeks from your trainers out, my trainers out, I'm out like, come on. You gotta, just gotta do what you can. I love that. What an inspiration you are, Amie. Vickie Saner Logan. This is my aunt. She wrote a couple of my wins this week was when Jim surprised us at the one world of wonder museum on Wednesday, and he's had off this weekend to watch the divisional playoffs with me. See, those are wins. You know, we're like, Oh, my God, it's not a win until, like, I've achieved everything that I like set out to do. That's impossible. Come on. Gotta celebrate in the in between times. Okay? You re

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   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 candid convo I had with Barb Betts in the last episode. If you haven't listened to that one, you didn't hear it, and you're not gonna understand what we're talking about, but.   Brad Crowell 1:09   Well that's true. If they didn't listen to it, then they didn't hear it.  Lesley Logan 1:11   Well, we're thrilled you're here. So if this you might, this might be the first, Be It hot episode. Brad Crowell 1:17   We're so happy that you're here.  Lesley Logan 1:18   You know, it's taken 665 episodes. We didn't realize maybe this is the first one, and that's why you didn't listen to it. And I shouldn't say you f*****g missed out, because, like, you're new. How would you know? So welcome. This is not what my voice normally sounds like. It doesn't normally sound like I'm on the brink of a sneeze, but I have a sinus stitch, and here we are. We are gonna while you're listening to this, we are in Europe, and we have to record these things early, and so we can't wait any longer. This is how it's gonna be. So stick around. Brad Crowell 1:46   That's true.  Lesley Logan 1:46   It does get better than this. It's basically just it sounds less Lesley. Today is April 9th, and it's National Unicorn Day.  Brad Crowell 1:53   That's right. Lesley Logan 1:54   You're f*****g welcome. Brad Crowell 1:54   You are very welcome. National Unicorn Day. Lesley Logan 1:57   There are other days that we can celebrate. But, I mean, come on, hello. National Unicorn Day is a day to celebrate the most popular mythical creature ever. Why? Because if we don't take time to celebrate a beautiful horn, rainbow, printed mythical creature, then we're most definitely missing a trick. I don't think it's trick. You've been missing out.  Brad Crowell 2:17   You're missing out. Lesley Logan 2:17   You're missing out. It's missing out. The unicorn is a symbol of happiness, fantasy and wonder. It's an icon of color, of childlike splendor and magic. They often make appearances on birthday cakes and children's clothing. And let's be honest, quite a lot of US adults still dig them, too. I mean, hello, my Lisa Frank people. My Lisa Frank people, I love you probably have as a tattoo, because adults need stickers too. National Unicorn Day is your chance to express some unicorn love. So show some color and delve into the magnificence of unicorns with us. Brad Crowell 2:47   No, we're saying that word one more time. Lesley Logan 2:50   Show some color and delve into the magnificence.  Brad Crowell 2:54   That is the word. Take three. Yes, you did two times.  Lesley Logan 3:05   Keep sake. Alright. Oh my gosh I wish you guys knew what I'm happy about. Anyways, leave it in. Delve into the magnificence. You guys, I have a bright yellow box, kind of like a pizza box size that my dad gave me a gift in and on my 41st birthday, maybe was my 40th birthday, probably, probably my 41st anyway, in front of everybody before I had ordered a drink. I just want to put that there. There's, we're at a bar, but I have not had a drink. So it's, we can't blame anything. We cannot blame it on anything.  Lesley Logan 3:49   My dad hands me this gift, and it has words on the front, and Brad goes, What does it say? And I said, it says, Keep sake. And Brad is looking at upside down. Brad Crowell 3:57   I was upside down, and I was like, Is that what it says? And I read it. And I was like, try again. Lesley Logan 4:03   I said, keep sake. Brad Crowell 4:05   Like, hello, I'm reading it.  Lesley Logan 4:07   I'm reading it.  Brad Crowell 4:08   Keep sake. Lesley Logan 4:09   And he's like, you want to try that one more time? And I'm like, it says, keep sake. And it's Brad said, what does it say babe? Brad Crowell 4:16   Definitely says keepsake.  Lesley Logan 4:17   Keepsake.  Brad Crowell 4:18   Yeah, but we'll go with keep sake. Lesley Logan 4:19   Now, anyone who was there understands how hilarious it was and signs off all text messages to me. Keep sake. I want to frame it so bad. I just don't know that I got to do it anyways. Keep sake.  Lesley Logan 4:33   All right, you guys. We're on vacation right now, so I don't know why you're not, but we are. We are somewhere in France, but we're going to see you very soon. If you are in London at POT check out. Brad Crowell 4:43   Yeah we're celebrating our 10th year anniversary, actually. Lesley Logan 4:45   Yes, we are.  Brad Crowell 4:46   Decided to take some time off.  Lesley Logan 4:47   It's actually the exact dates that we did our honeymoon 10 years ago. So, it is. We did it in March. Brad Crowell 4:54   Of 2016, holy cow. Lesley Logan 4:56   You didn't know I that's why I said it's our second honeymoon. Because it's the same time. Brad Crowell 5:00   You're totally right. It's 10 years after the first honeymoon.  Lesley Logan 5:03   I know.  Brad Crowell 5:03   Wow, amazing. I didn't even put that together. Incredible. Well, we are going to be in London next week. Or actually, hold on, today is the ninth so in like two or three days, we're gonna be at POT. Lesley Logan 5:12   No, we're literally on a train

When I chose to go through my hair loss journey, take my hair off on social media and show everybody my basically bald front of my head. I upleveled my relationships big time in ways I never could have imagined, because it turns out people want authenticity, they want humanity and it gives others permission to do the same with you, and that's how you create a real relationship.  Lesley Logan 0:43   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 1:26   All right, Be It babe, we're gonna talk about relationships, not like the romantic kind, but like relationships with our self. You've heard many Be It Pods be about get to know yourself. And so we're gonna talk about that in a deep, wonderful, tangible way. I actually think it's really great for all of us. I got, I have already have five things. I'm like, oh, I want to review that. Oh, I like that. Oh, I highlight that. Oh, that. I'm so glad I already do that, and now I know why I love it so much. So Barb Betts is our guest today. She's an author speaker and epic human you're gonna hear all about her, and I'm gonna let her tell you, because she's the best at it. So here's Barb Betts.  Lesley Logan 2:00   All right, Be It babe, this is gonna be fun, because I've known this woman for a few years now and been following her journey. And there's so many ways this conversation could go, because you are one of the most multifaceted humans I do know, but you are an expert at several things, and I wanted to bring you on to just wow our people in being it till you see it. So, Barb Betts, tell everyone who you are and what you rock at.  Barb Betts 2:21   Oh, Lesley Logan, it has been just so, you know, four years we've known each other.  Lesley Logan 2:26   That's crazy. It went by so fast. That would be faster than high school.  Barb Betts 2:31   I know that's funny. We were both part of a community that we met each other in, and I met you probably at one of my first events. So it has to be four years. So anyway, so my name is Bart Betts. I am from Southern California. I am a recovering real estate agent and broker who built a accidental speaking career while I was selling real estate, and that has transpired into me essentially stepping away from the industry. My husband now runs our sales team, and I now get to pursue my passion of being a thought leader in the world, of helping people build authentic, trust-based relationships with themselves and with others.  Lesley Logan 3:08   Which is what the world needs. Because I can't tell you how many inauthentic relationship-building like things are trying to come through my DMs.  Barb Betts 3:16   Oh yes girl oh yes.  Lesley Logan 3:18   I appreciate when people like, Oh, I forgot. We should talk. I think we have a lot in common. It's like, I don't know who you are, though. This scares me. You don't know how much you're scaring me right now.  Barb Betts 3:29   Correct. I cannot tell you how much I connect with that and how much it frustrates me. And I always tell people just continue to be cold in the DMS, and all you're going to get from me is I remove connection or block. So if that's how you want our relationship to go, then try it, because it works with me.  Lesley Logan 3:44   I know, I well, I used to tell people, and maybe we've talked about this before, but like, when I'm still I still tell people this, but when I first started business coaching for Pilate instructors, I was like, your business is with clients, is like dating. You would freak out if a guy at a bar, and I'm sorry this is gonna be more heterosexual, because that's the experience I have at a bar. A guy at a bar comes at you and tries to make out with you. But every time you come up, people with come take my class, buy my package, you are trying to make out with a stranger at a bar. You have to, you have to tell me my sweater looks nice. Flatter me a little bit.  Barb Betts 4:18   100%  Lesley Logan 4:19   Well, we're kind of skipping ahead. So okay, you actually, I love that you're a recovering real estate broker. I don't think we've ever had one of those before. But how did you get into this? Like, what was the journey? How did you discover that you were a thought leader here? Because it's not like, I mean, maybe you've always known you were when we were born that way, and, like, someone goes Barb Betts, you are the thought leader on this, but, I don't know.  Barb Betts 4:40   Kind of, what's crazy

Brad Crowell 0:01   F**k yeah.  Lesley Logan 0:03   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   Hi, Be It babe. How are you? Happy Friday. Welcome to your first Friday in April. We did it. We're here. Ah, I'm currently in Europe, but still being inspired by you. And have some wins of yours to share, and couple wins of mine and and some inspiration and a mantra and something like that, right? Like, that's how this episode goes. And I'm just really grateful for you, to be honest. So the inspiration from the interwebs that I was like, oh my god, I have to tell the Be It babes, that's you. By the way, if you're listening, you're brand new here, hi. This is from @ucanoutdoors. I don't know what that means, @ucanoutdoors. That's what that means. Okay, how about that? Well, the link's in the show notes they shared this post, it has handwritten it says, your time on Earth is limited. Don't try to age with grace, age with mischief, audacity and a good story to tell from a healed life. I am obsessed. Let me say that one more time. Don't try to age with grace. Age with mischief, audacity and a good story to tell. Well, we've got some good stories for your guys to tell.  Lesley Logan 1:45   So we always do a little win of yours. And so I got two from you guys. I was like, hey guys, I want some wins. You know you can send them in right? beitpod.com/questions where you can send your questions in and your wins in. And you know what you might need to hear your win from the past on a day that it comes up, because, like, sometimes we're just having a day, right? Like, I'll be honest, I woke up and today was a day, so I'm excited to be talking and recording with you, because today was just a day, and that's just because I had a crappy flight. More on that another moment. Okay, so @creative_soul_pilates, I got to hang out with a childhood friend and reconnect. It was so good for the soul. That's so fun a friend from childhood that you still hanging out with, that's amazing. I don't know that, but I have seen on TV, and it looks so delightful, I can totally see how that is for the soul. Lesley Logan 2:36   And I don't say that to be like, don't, don't feel sorry for me. Like, but I that those of you who have those childhood friends that like it's good for your soul, I love that for you, I think that is the cool. What a win that you guys could just evolve and grow and change and stay in touch with each other in a positive, supporting way. That means you're two badass humans. That's really what it means. All right, @meganlinney, she'd been on the pod before, by the way, she wrote, I've accomplished my greatest pivot and accelerated timing with like-minded people. Infinite wins. And I couldn't agree more, I've been watching from the sidelines. I'm so happy for you. You know, you really have, like, talk about no one, no one likes the word pivot anymore. I think it became the new the new word no one can hear. It's like, nailed on a chalkboard. But honestly, like, sometimes you need to do it. And when you do it, you want to do it like you did Megan, because you are absolutely a model for how to pivot with well, you know, like I started the podcast with audacity and a good story to tell.  Lesley Logan 3:33   All right, my win. So two things. One, I don't think I've actually done this with you guys on a FYF. We're a top 1% podcast because of you. So thanks so much. I think I said it on one of the recap episodes, but I just want to make sure I say it here, in case you listen to these more, that's a huge win. That's like a five year in the making win, like, just absolutely wonderful, and without ads and without, you know, doing crazy, wild, clickbaity stuff. So just really proud that we could do it authentically and with you. And I felt like this because of you. My win is, okay, so I was like, I was having a great day. I was in Sacramento for like, what was supposed to only be, like, 30 hours, not even like I supposed to see 25 hours, and it turned it into 30 something hours. And that's because I was just like, having the best time. I was really proud of myself. I was even outgoing by myself at a bar at the lounge. Not my normal thing. I was allowing myself to, like, just enjoy, like, people watching and what was going on, and be part of it, and part of the Olympics and all this stuff. And, you know, it's just really great. And I was like, oh, look at me. I'm like, oh, on this plane, it's just gonna be so easy. And get on the plane, and we get down the runway, and I was like, okay, babe, I'll see you in an hour. Make sure you're on time. Don't be late. I don't want to go to bed late. And we don't take off, and we're just sitting there, and it's like, not great, it's like, what is happening? And they come on, and they go, okay, we have to reset the system. And I'm like, I don't know that I want to be on a plane, that they're resetting the system while I'm on the runway. What? So anyways, that didn't work. They turned us around and we got off, and they're like, okay, we're gonna figure out what's next. And I'm like, what's next? I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, that took me three months to get you have got to get me home. Like, I don't know if I would have a good night's sleep at a hotel. You've got to get me home tonight. And so I sat there, but I tried to be really patient. I just like, I'm not going to be like, some Karen who is going to go up and yell, I'm just going to, like, sit here and be chill. I mean, I just had a great time at the bar, like, I'm just going to sit here and be chill. And I sat there long enough for them to say, okay, meet back at this gate in one hour. And I was like, I'm gonna take myself out to dinner now. So took myself out to dinner and got on the plane, and I just let myself, like, let I decided to see what it would be like if I didn't get upset about something. And it was quite nice. So it was annoying, it was frustrating. It was all the feelings. And

And like, women over 50, because your brain is rewiring so it's like, it never it actually like, where, yes, people's brains stopped developing in their early 20s. The actual reality for female brains is because of perimenopause, our brain has to rewire itself because of how we operate. We don't have the same hormones that we used to.  Lesley Logan 0:22   Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  Lesley Logan 1:01   Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the grounded convo I had with Bria Gadd in our last episode. If you missed that one, you f****d up and or you're brand new.  Brad Crowell 1:17   No, or you're not grounded. That's all. You're floating.  Lesley Logan 1:19   You're floating. If it sounds like I'm like, on the brink of a sneeze, I am this. My sinuses are kicking. This allergy season is kicking my ass. I'm just gonna say it. And we can't prolong this any longer. We tried. We're here. And if you're looking at this on the internet, I look like I got punched in the face. I understand. So we're going with it. And that's just how it's going to be. Today is April 2nd and it's Autism Acceptance Day. It's really important that you take a look at the different things going on in autism world, because there are some groups who are problematic, and they're autism awareness, and then there's this one, which is autism acceptance day. So I checked in with some of our amazing people in our lives who have children are autistic and they're excited that we're talking about this day. So Autism Acceptance Day, also known as World Autism Day, is observed annually, adopted by the United Nations in 2007. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness and promote acceptance of people with autism spectrum disorder. It also presents an opportunity to tear down misconceptions and false notions about the disability. So, about disability, excuse me.  Brad Crowell 2:22   Yeah. So I decided to just do a little homework, because we hear about, like, being on the spectrum, you know, and I put that in air quotes, even though I shouldn't have, because it's actually it is spectrum. So, so I did that wrong. But what is being. Lesley Logan 2:36   Joey, you're like, Joey, thank you. Brad Crowell 2:39   Thank you with my air quotes, thank you.  Lesley Logan 2:42   You're amazing.  Brad Crowell 2:43   Okay, so on the spectrum refers to being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, which is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting communication, social interaction and behavior. It means a person experiences the world differently with a unique, wide range of strengths and challenges, rather than a single linear progression of severity. So it can present itself in many different ways.  Lesley Logan 3:10   Oh, just like ADHD presents in different ways.  Brad Crowell 3:13   I'm sure, but I think that, like, the most obvious is, like, we've all, you know, if you haven't seen the movie Rain Man, you know, that's one we're seeing. But effectively, that's one way we see it. We also see like that autism can be, like, completely socially debilitating, you know, or. Lesley Logan 3:27   You could be like our neighbor across the street, who.  Brad Crowell 3:29   100% functional, has family, definitely autistic.  Lesley Logan 3:34   Oh, yeah. He, he holds on to zero emotions. And if they, if he and his wife are listening, hi, wow, it was me. I'm like, have you been married 20 years? If you hold on to no emotions, I understand, but I, I think that what's really important to me for bringing this up is one, we're, because we have more research and more information, it's not that there's more autistic people, it's just that when you test for things, you actually can get more like people get the labels that they need, and because we have information on how to test sooner, this means that people can get the help that they need so that they can have a life that they want to live. Whatever that help is, help can be different for each person, and it's very interesting, because Brad and I are diagnosed with ADHD, and people are thinking, if you're on the internet, it can feel like a trend for people over 40 people died of ADHD. But actually, as a child, growing up, Brad would present it as ADHD. They should diagnose him as it. But girls present differently, but they still have it. So it's not like I got ADHD. I have always had it. I have all the symptoms and signs that women would present. But that's not what was happening in the 90s. And so I just want to say, like, it's, I think it's really important, because there's an a*****e in the government who's making up shit about autism and autistic people, and he can f**k himself, because it's actually not helpful, and it's not helpful that people who are autistic, and actually, like, when you diverse, when you create myths around any thing, whether it is the flu or Covid or some sort of diagnosis, it actually causes harm to the people who have it, are it, is it, and it actually means that, like, they don't get the help that they need. And then people get scared about things that are not, should not be fearful. Brad Crowell 5:21   Well, also, you mentioned, you know, ADHD. ADHD and autism are linked like they're, they're definitely, there's definitely an overlap. Lesley Logan 5:30   Oh, well, I'm pretty sure I'm still diagnosed with ADHD. Brad Crowell 5:34   Well, yeah, that's AUDHD, AUDHD, instead of just ADHD. Lesley Logan 5:38

Is perimenopause something to dread, or is it the ultimate diagnostic tool for your future self? In this eye-opening episode, Lesley Logan sits down with Bria Gadd, the “Period Whisperer,” to dismantle the myths around female hormonal transitions. They explore the idea of “health debt”—what happens when life keeps demanding more than your body can give—and how that starts to show up over time. Bria reframes perimenopause as a “reverse puberty,” revealing where your foundations may need support, so you can move out of the shame spiral and start investing in a vibrant second half of life.   If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/podcast https://lesleylogan.co/podcast/.

Take a minute every day or once a week, look at yourself in the mirror, eye to eye, and get really real with yourself about how you're feeling. Be honest, be vulnerable with yourself and take that stillness. Nobody wants to be still, but you need to be still. That's where your answers come from. It'll be uncomfortable, but you can do it. You can do hard things. Lesley Logan 0:23   Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  Lesley Logan 1:01   All right, Be It babe. We are going to talk perimenopause, periods and our bodies, and specifically, like listening to our bodies. And I am obsessed with our guest today. It will not be the last time I have her on the pod, for sure. Bria Gadd is here. She is the period whisperer, and she is someone who really is diving in on a on a holistic level, but like with tons of research and information and and really taking in herself and with hundreds of clients that she's worked with. And so this is really fun, educational, informational, and lots of great tools, things you can do on your own once you listen to this based on what you need. So here is Bria Gadd.  Lesley Logan 1:11   All right, Be It babe, we are about to have an amazing conversation on a topic I have been wanting to have on this podcast for years. I'm very excited about it. I'm so excited our guest is here because she's amazing. She's the one and only period whisperer. Bria Gadd, can you tell everyone, I'm gonna kind of let them know, but can you tell everyone what you rock at? Bria Gadd 2:00   Thank you, Lesley, first of all, I love I'm super loving your podcast these days. I love what you bring, how you show up for people like I felt super inspired, and we actually had you on my podcast. And you should know that I have been actively searching for, like, a great Pilates studio with the certifications you told me about. So I'm really inspired by you, and I'm sure everyone listening already knows and loves your podcast, but I hope they go review it if they haven't.  Lesley Logan 2:26   Aw thank you.  Bria Gadd 2:27   Yeah, I'm excited to be here. Thank you. And yeah, I am a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practitioner, you know, personal trainer, but really, I specialize in female hormones, so my whole goal and purpose is to help women better understand their bodies so that they can thrive and live out their dreams in midlife and beyond. Lesley Logan 2:47   I am obsessed with this topic lately because, you know, I'm really grateful I had friends who are well 10 plus years older than me, so they were like singing the perimenopause warning symbols well before I needed to hear them, which is great, because I could go in with research and information, like, first, like, sign, a potential symptom. I could, like, take some autonomy and some agency into like, what am I doing? What is this? What are my options, right? But I actually feel like, for generations, women's bodies, we have not been told information about them. I mean, the crappy little video that they teach you in the sixth grade, or maybe it was the fifth grade, right? That's like, the last time, that's the first and last time. Because I actually did AP science, biology, they don't talk about any of this stuff in schools ever, unless it's like you're, you're a specialty, and even then, I wonder, you know, so it's like you're kind of like, at the mercy of what your doctor knows, and you start to feel crazy because there's, there's symptoms of things that have, not that have, that might not appear to have anything to do with your female reproductive organs. So can you chat a bit about what we should know about our bodies? I mean, that's a big topic, but like, you know, with the women that you work with, like, what do we need to know? Because being it until you see it, it's completely tied to how we feel. Bria Gadd 4:01   Yeah, for sure, I love this, and I am going to disrupt some things, I think, a little bit here, because, I mean, look, seven years ago when I started entering into this magical age box, which, for everyone, begins around 35 right? It's like a reverse puberty. I mean, you could not define, I didn't, nobody even knew what the word perimenopause was, and now it is like shoved down your throat. You cannot scroll social media without seeing something about hormones or perimenopause or menopause, which I think is a wonderful thing on one hand. But what I like to kind of really explain, after now working with hundreds of women and kind of going through my own journey, is that perimenopause, as I said, like your reverse puberty, is really just the retiring of your ovaries. And do not get me wrong, they're a major player. They're a big support player in our body, and when they retire, that obviously causes a lot of stress. I really think about it like, you know, if you were working in a corporate, you know, land and one of your, like, best colleagues. Who does a boatload of work for you just is starts to retire. I mean, that puts a lot more pressure on the other people in the department.  Lesley Logan 5:07   Brilliant. Love that description. I can feel that I've lost an assistant before, and I'm lik

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 0:44   Hi Be It babe, we made it. We made it to the end of March. We're here. We did it. Hopefully you celebrated your wins along the way, and hopefully you sent them in, because that's what this episode's about. We can't wait to share your wins. Some inspiration. This inspiration. This is beautiful. This is like, I saw this. I cried when I read it. I cried when I shared it to Brad, because I was like, I have to show this Brad, and I'm gonna cry probably reading it to you. But I just think that, like, we need to know that there's good people doing good things out there in the world, and like, people doing what they can. And I think it's really important thing in being it until we see it and helping out the people around us and helping out humankind, we have to remember that it feels like a big problem if we try to do it all by ourselves, but if we just do what we can, and everyone's doing what they can, it all adds up. It changes the world. It really, really does. I was talking to my yoga teacher this morning before I started recording these and, you know, I convinced someone in my world to change, you know, how they are voting. You know, they were able to see the hypocrisy and things like that and like it can feel like, so like, like, it's one person, but it's also one person. If we all do it, check us out. Anyways, this is the inspiration. So this is from @shady_et and we basically compile collections of kind stories. So this is not their story, but the story that they compiled. So it said, the person says, I work at Petals and Stems a flower shop downtown. This man came in Tuesday morning, suit, tie, crooked, tie crooked eyes, red. My daughter, she's six, cancer. She's dying maybe a week left, and she loves yellow. He started crying right there in front of the daisies. I made him tea. What's her name? Emma. We bring her flowers every day at the hospital. It's the only thing that makes still makes her smile. After he left, I called every flower shop in the city. 12 shops. Told them about Emma. The next morning, I drove to the hospital with my car full of yellow flowers. When I got there, 11 other florists were already waiting, fans lined up, arms full of yellow we filled Emma's room every surface, the windowsill, the floor, the nurse's station, the hallway, yellow everywhere. Emma opened her eyes and smiled. It's a yellow garden like heaven. We stayed. All 12 florists sat in the hospital room just being there. One brought a guitar. Another read Emma a story. Emma died three days later, surrounded by yellow flowers and strangers who loved her anyway. At her funeral, every florist donated arrangements. Her dad told everyone about the day the flower shops came. Emma thought she was in heaven already. She was right. Okay, hold on, I'm gonna get this out. Now, every year, on Emma's birthday, all 12 shops close for an hour. We bring yellow roses to the pediatric ICU, fill the rooms, sit with the families. We call it Emma's garden. I can't but like, how cool. So, like, don't ever underestimate the power of what you can do. You know, like, just, just being kind and thoughtful. It took a phone call, and now they get together every year and they do this. So anyways, woo, beautiful stuff. Okay, so I'm smiling and crying because I just picture how wonderful it is for that little girl that she got to experience that, and then all the kids would get to because of her. Love for them.  Lesley Logan 0:44   So, now I have to deal with your wins. What a great transition. Here we go. This one is from @be_more_betty, my wins, just launched my second chemical free beauty product, and one of my fave stores is taking it on. Also, braved the sauna and C session, f*****g cold, especially on the feet, yeah, uh huh. But I had the best night's sleep ever trying to fill my cup as I'm hosting event next weekend, trying to stay grounded. Anyone else could still get anxious over hosting events. Always because you care. Because if you care, you're gonna get a little anxious, and then Gay Hendricks just says, if you exhale and inhale correctly, that anxiety will turn into excitement. So just little tip for you. Thank you, @be_more_betty, thanks for sharing your wins. Way to take action, and also way to go get caught in cold. I mean, that is a thing I want to do someday in that, like actual ocean, not just my cold plunge, I do my cold punch, but also, you know, we'll get there. We'll get there.  Lesley Logan 2:16   Okay, my win. I'm almost on my second honeymoon, actually. So Brad and I are in Belgium right now teaching. It's really quite fun. I've never taught here before, so it's really fun to be amongst friends. And it's a couple years in the making, making this happen, and it's just really beautiful and wonderful. And we had a great trip on our weekend over here. But Brad and I are taking our second honeymoon, which happens to be 10 years almost to the date of our first honeymoon. Another win packed into this. It's like, I no longer am going to, like, go back and forth to Europe, like I I do it once, and I'm just going to be there for a month, and I'm just going to do it. And so we packed this trip in Poland, then Belgium, then our little break, and then we're ending the trip in London for POT London. And so there's a few wins in there. And just like it took a lot of planning, took a lot of coordinating with lots of different people and putting ourselves out there and all these things, but we did it, and we're going to enjoy a week and a half just celebrating what we've done the last 10 years and all the work that we've been doing together in the last almost six years, that we've been just working together full time. And it's also because of all t

And when you are empowering them with the tools, then they can make decisions that are logical and all those kinds of things, instead of just be like, I guess, like, like, think about it. If you're just like, do it. Why? Because I said so. What are you doing? You're actually, you're actually molding a human to always be told what to do. Lesley Logan 0:37   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 1:19   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 grounded convo I have with Gail Hugman. Hugman.  Brad Crowell 1:27   Hugman.  Lesley Logan 1:28   Yeah, that's right. I'm like, sorry, Gail. I know you're listening, but you know when you're like, oh, all of a sudden, hold on. Did I miss a G, H, whatever. Gail Hugman, she's f*****g the best it was in our last episode. Brad Crowell 1:38   The two of you. So I listen everything on like, 2x speed. And if I could, I'd probably try to listen to it on 3x speed. And the two of you were like, giggle monsters. Lesley Logan 1:47   I'm obsessed with her. Like, I and I was like, when Brad came up, he was halfway through her interview, and he's like, this is amazing. And I was like, Oh, good, because I did go for a second going, am I about to, like, get all the parents to hate me out there, like, like, I don't want to be, because here's the deal, I understand, I don't have children. I get that. I don't understand the day to day. I can't even imagine the cell phone conversation I my kids. I'll just tell you right now, here's where I'd be. They would hate us. They would have a flip phone with those heavy batteries so big it wouldn't fit in their pocket. Like, no internet, you know, like, because there's so much research on, like, how it's, like, affecting people's ability to focus. So, like, this interview, to me, was so amazing, and we are buying all of her books for, sorry, Meredith and Kyle, you're getting them all. Brad Crowell 2:39   True, yeah, but actually, we had a chance to meet Gail in real life last year when we were in England, and it was so interesting. I was just chatting with her on the side of class, and the conversation was so like, she was so inspiring in the five minutes that we were talking that I was like, holy cow, you need to be a guest on Lesley's pod. Lesley Logan 3:02   Gail, I don't know if you believe in past life, but in a past life, I feel like we were family. Brad Crowell 3:07   Yeah, seriously. Well, I'm really, really glad that we were able to have Gail on, and I love that the very first thing that she said is, I don't think I fit the Be It mold, you know, and you two agreed that this would be inspiring the parents, for the kids, so that the kids can be it.  Lesley Logan 3:25   I well, that's just it. I mean being it till you see it.  Brad Crowell 3:28   I disagree with her in that she did break the Be It mold, but you know, I love the conversation.  Lesley Logan 3:33   You don't think she broke them all?  Brad Crowell 3:34   No, I think she was being it till she saw it all day, every day. You know like she was very innovative in her career. Fifty years as a teacher, y'all. Lesley Logan 3:42   Especially as she was talking about how she, like, got into what she's doing, it's a be it till you see it kind of a story. So Gail, so sorry you didn't. But also sorry, honey, didn't hate to break it to you. But also, I can't just have people who just tell me stories about themselves all day. We are four and a half. I would have five, almost five years in on this pod. Like crazy. I want to be entertained as well. I want to learn something, and sometimes it's bringing in experts who help us get to where we're going. You can't just be inspired all the time. You have to have information that you can integrate. So I really felt like that's what she did. But anyways, before we keep going and just complimenting Gail Hugman.  Lesley Logan 4:19   Today is March 26th 2026 and it's wear a hat day.  Brad Crowell 4:24   Wear a Hat Day.  Lesley Logan 4:26   We celebrate Wear a Hat Day on March 26th is a fun and fabulous way to raise awareness for brain tumor research and raise funds while we're at it. The holiday was created as a way to get our heads and our hats together to advance research and find a cure for brain tumor so you don't need to have it affected to make a difference. We've got some ideas to get you ahead to this wear hat day. Do they? Did they give us any ideas?  Brad Crowell 4:49   No.  Lesley Logan 4:49   They didn't give us anything. No links. There's not a charity on this not further down. Okay, before we just start talking about a charity we have not researched, I highly recommend you Google in your area what local charities are doing with brain tumor research or state charities that are doing it because. Brad Crowell 5:08   Hold on, I'm going to read you more. Occurring in aroun

While many focus solely on academic grades, Gail’s work targets the root of a child’s success: motivation, mindset, and the "how-to" of learning. Through her unique methodology, she provides children with the essential tools to become self-motivated, focused, and confident individuals who take pride in their own achievements.  Drawing on her deep passion for human development and the neuroscience of learning, Gail’s approach centers on teaching executive function skills such as concentration, listening, and self-control. She recognizes that in a fast-paced world, neither schools nor overwhelmed parents always have the specialized resources to instill these foundational life skills. Gail bridges this gap, transforming the family dynamic by helping children become independent and capable.   If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser or Castbox. https://lovethepodcast.com/BITYSI DEALS!

Lesley Logan 0:25   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 1:08   Be It babe, okay, so, today's episode, if you don't have children, you might be like, this isn't for me. I hope you listen either, because it might help you make sense of your childhood. It might help you support your friends who are parents. If you've already parented, you might think it like I hope you listen, because I have a parenting expert. Well, if not parenting expert, I would call her a education expert of children, and her be it action item for every single one of us to support children is amazing and wonderful and simple and hard and complicated and necessary and doable, and I'm really excited about it, because, ladies, I've been I've been trying to figure out how to help you prioritize yourself first. And for many of you, there is the love and responsibility of your children that are keeping you from that, from prioritizing yourself first, from being it till you see it, from doing the Pilates you say you want to do. And my hope was that Gayle hugman, our guest today, could give you some tools, some support, some insight into the role that you have. And hopefully that allows you to not just be the parent you want to be, but be the human you want to be in this world. And while I don't have kids, I hope I don't offend anyone in my in my inquiries and my observations and my wonders. But I also truly believe in every single one of you who are parents and so grateful when I'm older, someone's child does need to help take care of me. So there's a weird thing where I would like someone's child to take care of me because I don't have any of my own but also I want you to have the life you so dreamed up and wanted for yourself and for them, and so I hope this episode really supports you in that, and I'd love to hear your takeaways. Here is Gail Hugman.  Lesley Logan 2:53   All right, Be It babe. I'm excited. I've have not ever had a guest like this before. One I got to meet this amazing person in real life, on our mullet tour in Essex area, and she loves Pilates. So you my Pilates lovers, know that this woman loves Pilates too. Been doing it a long time, but I I got to know what she does for a living. I thought, oh my gosh, this is a guest I haven't had. I've had a lot of guests that help my my listeners as women as as perimenopausal women as as perfectionist women, but I haven't had anyone who helps them as parents, you know, who add a lot of pressure to themselves to be whatever the world says I need to be as a parent. So Gail Hugman, will you tell everyone who you are and what you rock at? Gail Hugman 3:38   I'm Gail Hugman And I have now been teaching for 50 years, and I help children flourish, and I help parents flourish with them. That's my USP. Lesley Logan 4:00   50 years. That's a long time. How did you get into that? Gail Hugman 4:05   I spent 30 years in London schools, and it used to hurt me to watch potential that I didn't have time to develop and I didn't want to be a principal or a head teacher, because the higher I went, the more paper I saw, the fewer children I saw. And my magic happens with the children. And so I decided to leave, and I asked a young teacher, what is it you find most challenging in teaching? He was just starting. I knew I was just leaving, and he said, immediately, motivation. I can get the children to do what they have to do, but I can't get them to want to do it. And I thought, right, that is what I'm going to do. And the journey has been 20 years long now. I have had the privilege of going into people's homes and working out, initially, an assessment for the children, because, to start with, didn't have a clue what I was going to do. I remember my very first client came along and she said to me, Oh, great, you're leaving teaching. Will you be a minder? My son's minder is leaving the school, and they are thinking of excluding him because he doesn't pay attention and he doesn't this. And I thought, I'm not going from almost headship to being someone's minder. And I said, Absolutely not. I said, but I'll teach him to concentrate. And then I thought, What have I just said? Lesley Logan 5:58   The show says, Take messy action, be it till you see it so like that is right there everyone, if you've ever done that, you have done you have been being it till you saw it. Gai

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   Hi, Be It babe. How are you? Well, we are two thirds of the way through this month, and the equinox is tomorrow, and it's the spring equinox. And I you know there's all these different rituals you could do. Not gonna tell you about any of them, because go look them up and do the one you want to do, or do nothing and just enjoy it. But like, get outside, you know, check out the moon and take care of yourself, right? Like, truly. So this is the Friday episodes. This is non-interview, non-recap, just me sharing what inspired me that I saw on the internet that I was like, oh, I thought of you, Be It babe. Like, you're like, where do I should think is it's because I'm like, oh, I want to share this with you, my listeners, my favorite like the people who like you send me such great stuff. You send me inspirational stuff. You send me your wins. I so appreciate you send your questions in. Keep them coming beitpod.com/questions is where you can type, send your wins in and your questions. We love answering them on Thursdays. It's really a lot of fun. And then I share a win of mine and wins of yours. We can see that, like, there's good stuff happening. We're making magic happen.  Lesley Logan 1:45   So this is fun. This is responses I've used on Instagram when I don't have the energy. So these are, like, just going to be some answers that you should take from the show notes, copy and paste into your notes, and then text or respond when you don't have the energy to engage with whatever crap is coming at you. So this one, there's a few. Thanks for the message. I'll give that thought the consideration it deserves. So it's so passive aggressive. It's my fave, so petty. Okay, I disagree, but we are working from different levels of education, so I can see how you got to your conclusion. Ah, good. You seem very committed to your current level of understanding. Have a great day. I'm not persuaded. I'll defer to the conclusions that have already been established. That's an interesting perspective. I'm not sure we're operating on the same level of details. I can see why that might seem right to you. However, the facts still stand. I admire how your opinion remains unchanged despite evidence that contradicts it. So I I'm like keeping this save because in standing up for human rights, I've had many people get mad at me and say, just stick to your Pilates. I really like your Pilates, but I don't like your politics. It's like, you don't have to like my politics or like my Pilates, like, I don't, first of all, you're getting most of it for free. So, you know, like, personally, I just want to go f**k off because, like, you're in it for free. Go away. Like, I'm allowed to have my opinion. Clearly, you think you're allowed to have yours. And, like, sometimes our comments can just, like, live rent free in my head, and I get really annoyed by that. I do think that's part of like, my ADHD. At any rate, because of this Dr. Rachel Selman, who has come up with some great responses. I am just going to use these. And I think they're really great, especially the ones where they're like, he was not, he was like, gonna, like, when it was talking about (inaudible) who was gunned down, executed in front of, like, we can see with our eyes, and it's like, people like, people like, that's not what happened. It's like, okay, well, we're obviously operating on different different worlds. You know? It's like, I can see why that might seem right to you. However, the facts still stand. Great response, better response than what I want to do. It's like, Hmm, I just want to tell you. Like, I just want to, not you listener, like the person who has the fills a goal to tell me I just just shut up and dance like, I just want to tell them to f**k off and or this. So I hope you can see how it gets do you understand, like, but you know, right, like some of you are listening and haven't shared how you feel because you're afraid of those comments. And so my hope is that those responses I just gave you give you a little bit of gumption to stand up for what you believe. And it's never too late. It's never too late. It's not we need everybody in this we need everyone. And human rights and due process are not political. They're like, literally how the world should work.  Lesley Logan 4:28   So okay, now for your amazing wins, let me pull them up. Here we go. This one is from jessierodriguezaz. Teaching a successful mat class for Lululemon, but more importantly, looking over and seeing my husband, kids and parents. They're watching and smiling. They're what matters most. Oh my gosh, Jesse, beautiful, wonderful. And I mean, like, ugh, precious. Thank you for sharing that with us. I can just picture it. It's just so beautiful. All right. This one is from pilatesharmony88. More consistent than last week for me. Great. That is a great win. More consistent than last week for me. Wonderful. Good job. Win for you. I love it. Thanks for sharing, because we do need to celebrate that oh, I was better this week than last week. Okay, that's 1% better. Like, why do we have to be perfect? We don't. So send your wins in because I want to, I want to shout them out. I want to shout you out. I want you to remember, like, something that you did for yourself when, like, probably you're listening to something going oh, and then you're like, I had that win last month. Oh, my god, so good.  Lesley Logan 5:28   All right, so here's my win. This is gonna sound ridiculous. So I've been, I was really annoyed with my bank, like, two years ago, they sold again, and I've just been like, I hate this bank. I hate it so much every like, I never use the ATM card, because I rarely ever use an ATM card, and the moment I do it, it's like, you know, somehow compromised. I have to go fight for the money. I have to wait for it to come back. It's so annoying. So I'm only gonna use my credit card with that bank and then just pay the money off, righ
