This 16 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: week I want to talk about asking for what you need. 17 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: I am entirely guilty of wanting to do everything myself. 18 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: I think that is a characteristic that many both women 19 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: and entrepreneurs can really relate to. And this week is 20 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: kind of the beginning of a crazy time for me 21 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: in that I announced and launched a campaign with Birkenstock 22 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: on Thursday last night. 23 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 2: It actually the video and the entirety of. 24 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: The campaign comes out at the end of the month, 25 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: but we had an event for that, and then next 26 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: week I'm heading to la and I'm hosting this huge 27 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: event for Strava that I'm so excited about. And then 28 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: at the end of the month, I'm heading to Denver 29 00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: to do some more hosting alongside a big climbate athlete 30 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: for the debut of her new documentary. 31 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: There's a lot going on right and in. 32 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: The chaos, I have realized that I need to ask 33 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,679 Speaker 1: for help. And it's not necessarily with really large things. 34 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: It's something simple like, hey, I could use another twenty 35 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: four hours on this deadline, or hey, I could really 36 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: use an accountability buddy in the morning. How would you 37 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: feel if we went on a run together, knowing that 38 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: I want to get in a run, and the two 39 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: examples I gave just now there. 40 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: It's really small stuff, right. 41 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: It's not like, hey, I would love it if you 42 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: could help me write this speech, or it would mean 43 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: a lot to me if you would do Oh my god, 44 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: I almost just set a book report for me. But 45 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: you get the idea, and I realize that I'm so 46 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: worried about being a burden on others. But the reality 47 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: is is that you don't know until you try. And 48 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: the people that really care about you, you are not 49 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: a burden to them. They assume the best in you. 50 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: They want to help you, and they wouldn't do so 51 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: if they didn't want to. And so I am really 52 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: working on this idea lately of asking for help, letting go, 53 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: giving up control. Not all that long ago I finally 54 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: hired an editor for the show and the bandwidth that 55 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: that has given me the opportunity I have now to 56 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: focus on the things that I know that I'm truly 57 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: good at. Not that I wasn't good at editing. I 58 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: did it for six plus years of this thing. But 59 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying. If you relinquish control, if 60 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: you ask for help, trust me when I say that 61 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: good things will happen for you. It just really is 62 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: getting over that initial hurdle. And again, like I just said, 63 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: the people that love you, the people that care for you, 64 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: they want to show up for you. So enable them 65 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: to do that. Enable them to give you a lending 66 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: hand when you really need it. My prompt for you 67 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: this week, what's something you need help right now with 68 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: and who can you ask What is one thing that 69 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: you need help with right now? And who can you 70 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: ask for help? And now a listener question. 71 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 3: Hey m, I've been seeing on Instagram that you're in 72 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 3: the gym more doing a lot of weightlifting, and I'm 73 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 3: super inspired. So where would you recommend somebody start on 74 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 3: the beginning of their strength training journey. 75 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: Just like being a beginner at anything, strength training especially 76 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: can feel really intimidating. There's a lot of options from 77 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: dumbbells to kettlebells to bar bells. And I know I 78 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: remember too what it felt like when I first really 79 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: started lifting weights back when oh my gosh, I did 80 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: CrossFit like eight or nine years ago. I love where 81 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: I'm at right now in my strength journey. I have 82 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: been lifting a lot more bar bells, getting back into 83 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: doing Olympic lifting. And so for someone that is a beginner, 84 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: I will say two things. One, it's okay to be 85 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: a beginner, and actually it's an opportunity. You only get 86 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: to be a beginner once. So harness that excite, do 87 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: a little bit of a reframe and you will be 88 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: able to garner the same excitement that you feel about 89 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: other things that you're already doing. 90 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: And the second thing is talk to a professional. 91 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: I know that not everyone has the capacity to work 92 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: one on one with a trainer, but it could be 93 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: in your best interest just one time to work with 94 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: someone to get down the basics. I want to make 95 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: sure that you are living a safe and healthy life. 96 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: I want you, if you want to lift weights, to 97 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: be able to consistently do it, to get into a 98 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: routine and stick with it. So when it comes to 99 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: getting down the basement, nailing those movement patterns, making sure 100 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: that you're doing things in a safe way, it can 101 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: be so so helpful and worthy of the investment to 102 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: book one session with a trainer at a gym. Again, 103 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: I understand that this is in everybody's cup of tea 104 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: or not within your wheelhouse. So with that said, if 105 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 1: you are going to get into this on your own, 106 00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: start with body weight movements. I'm talking squats, I'm talking 107 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: even something like an overhead press. Make sure that you're 108 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: getting the movement patterns down before you add loads, so 109 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: that you're taking care of your body. You only get 110 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: one body. I want to make sure that you're treating 111 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: it right. And I said two things. But I'm going 112 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: to add one more thing. There are a number of 113 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: different plans that you can add in or work with 114 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: when it comes to strength training. I myself use the 115 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: Future App. I've talked about it so many times here. 116 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: I'm going to link it in the show notes and 117 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: you can get fifty percent off your first month. I 118 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: love it because I get customized programming that does progress, 119 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: so I'm not just doing a bunch of random overhead 120 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: presses and biceps curls and tricep dips and whatnot. I 121 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: have a program that I'm following that's getting me to 122 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: where I want to be and in accordance with my goals. 123 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: But if the Future app isn't your thing, there are 124 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: so many different plans that you can lean into, whether 125 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: they come from Woman's Health Mag, Self Mag, if you're 126 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: looking at Peloton, I would encourage you to find something 127 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: that makes you excited, channel that excitement into building a 128 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: better and stronger you, and trust me again, strength training. 129 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: It's something that's really really resonating with me right now. 130 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: I love lifting heavy, I love feeling strong in my body, 131 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: and I really do want that for everyone. That's it 132 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: for this week. Again, don't forget that shoe giveaway. I'm 133 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: over at Emily a Body and at Hurdle Podcasts. Another 134 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: hurdle conquered. Catch you guys next time.
