Speaker 2: And I just know that it's just the beginning of

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: so many things to come, and it just encourages me

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: to keep working hard, to keep going out of my

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: way to make time to create this thing that hopefully

17
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: affects and has the chance to impact so many. So

18
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,760

Speaker 1: But one of the most.

29
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,840

39
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: Autumn has been danced saying ever since she was a

40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: really little girl. But when she was young, she had

41
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: a mysterious injury and pain in her hip that left

42
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: her unable to walk for almost a week. It was

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: that lingering pain that caused her to delay getting really

44
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: into dance until she was a teenager. And by that time,

45
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: a lot of the other dancers that she was up

46
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: against so that she.

47
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: Was interacting with they have a lot of years on her.

48
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: So she applied to all of her dream schools as

49
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: a dancer, and she ultimately got into a small performing

50
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: arts college. While she was there, a difficult ballet master,

51
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: which is like the funniest little title I've ever heard.

52
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: He made it even more difficult for her to pursue

53
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 2: her dancing dreams. He told her that he would never

54
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: place her in performance, that she didn't have what it

55
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: took to make it in the field, and that negative

56
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: feedback really weed on her. It really hurt her confidence.

57
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: So she decided to do the best she could with

58
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: what she had and pursue another dream, pursue something else.

59
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: That's when she went into personal training.

60
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: As a personal trainer, she was out in California, she

61
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: made her first home program called Home and Family, and

62
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: then she tells me in today's episode that through the

63
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 2: word of mouth from different clients, she finally got a

64
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: call from the people at Each Body and that is

65
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: when everything changed.

66
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: In today's episode, we talk.

67
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: All about creating her first program for the Fitness Mega brand,

68
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: and she'll talk about that in a little bit.

69
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: And the pressure is.

70
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: That she felt when she realized that she had the

71
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: opportunity to impact the lives of literally millions of people

72
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: all over the country and the world. This woman has

73
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: worked her butt off to get where she is today.

74
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: We talk about what some of the failures that she's

75
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: experienced have really taught her and the things that she's

76
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: excited for in the near future. Let me tell you

77
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: she's a pine sized powerhouse and there's no doubt in

78
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: my mind.

00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,720

Speaker 4: Really.

103
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: Not that there's anything wrong with training celebrities, but it's

104
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 3: just when you see those people's lives, those people that

105
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: are just so desperate for help, looking for an answer,

106

Speaker 3: that are struggling, that don't have the ability to hire

107
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 3: a personal trainer to come to their house five days

108
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: a week and a shift come to their house and

109
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,880

Speaker 1: I can totally hear that.

113
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: So you don't just start training hundreds of thousands to

114
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: millions of people over night.

115
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: Talk to me a little bit about growing up. Where

116
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: are you from?

117
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Okay, lived

118
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: there till I was fifteen, lived in Saint Louis after

119
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: that for about eight years, so did high school and

120
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 3: college in Saint Louis. Had a very short stint in

121
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: Jersey for six months second semester of my senior year.

122
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: Of high school. So I've lived a little bit everywhere.

123
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: Did you know growing up in Ohio that you had

124
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: an interest in fitness and wellness?

125
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: I want wanted to be a dancer, so I grew

126
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 3: up as a dancer. That's actually what I majored in

127
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: in college. I grew up wanting to entertain, I grew

128
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: up wanting to perform, and I grew up wanting to

129
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: move people in some way. I knew that since I

130
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: was a little little girl, Like it's a running joke

131
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: that I came out of the womb dancing. So I

132
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: guess somewhere in me was that passion to move my

133
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 3: body and somewhere in me was that passion to help people?

134
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: Okay, and when you say you grew up dancing, what

135
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: kind of dance are we talking about?

136
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 4: I did everything I did.

137
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 3: Jazz, ballet, tap, modern, lyrical jazz is my favorite, always

138
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: has been.

139
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was a dance major in college. And

140
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: where was college?

141
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 4: You said what college.

142
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 3: Was in Saint Louis. I went to Webster University. Okay,

143
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 3: small performing arts college.

144
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: Did not graduate, but I did go for most of it.

145
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: So the question then comes up is that were you

146
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: always really good at it? Because God, I can tell

147
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: you that when I was dancing and I was younger,

148
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: there were plenty of people in that class that you know.

149
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: It took a little took a little bit of work.

150
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 3: No, I wasn't, and I wouldn't. I never considered myself

151
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: I was never the best in the class.

152
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 4: Ever.

153
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: I actually started behind the eight ball. I had an

154
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: issue with my hip when I was a little kid.

155
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: Woke up one day and couldn't walk, fell out of bed,

156
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: ended up in the hospital for like two weeks. Every

157
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: test known to man run on me. They never found

158
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: out what was wrong. I kind of got I just

159
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: got better. So for a long time, my parents were

160
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: very cautious of the activities that they would let me

161
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 3: do since they didn't know what was wrong, they didn't

162
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: know what could.

163
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: Cause it again.

164
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: So I didn't get to start dance until I was thirteen.

165
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 3: Most girls had already been dancing for five, six, seven years,

166
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: so I was always behind the eight ball. But I

167
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: might not have been the best technical dancer in the room,

168
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 3: but I promise you I was probably always the dancer with.

169
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 4: The most heart.

170
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: The most heart, I think that's what's important, right, Yes, Okay,

171
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: So you never found out what was up with your hip.

172
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: It just slowly got better.

173
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 4: Never found out.

174
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: I can make educated guesses as an adult because I

175
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: still have physical issues. So I have a bulging disc

176
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 3: in my lower spine in my L four L five.

177
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: So when that disc slips out, I am down and

178
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: out for a good ten days. The funny thing is

179
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: is it never slips out when I'm doing physical activity.

180
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: It slips out when I like bend over to put

181
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: on a pair of sox and move the wrong way,

182
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: and then I'm like and I'm down, or like bend over,

183
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: blow drying your hair and you move the wrong way,

184
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: like it's random things.

185
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 4: It's very rare, knock on wood, that.

186
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: It goes out on me anymore, because I've taken a

187
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: lot of caution in strengthening the areas that need to

188
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: be strengthened on my body, stretching when I need to,

189
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: and it's really The last time it went out on

190
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 3: me was just over two years ago, and in fact,

191
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: it went out and I sprained my entire hip complex

192
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: at one time. So that was one of the scariest

193
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: things I've ever experienced.

194
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 2: You mentioned something really interesting that you've taken the time

195
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: to strengthen the things that you need to strengthen to

196
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: accommodate for the fact that you have this pack issue.

197
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: I don't think a lot of the time when people

198
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: have an injury, they truly understand that everything is so interconnected.

199
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So when you say that you took that

200
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: time to strengthen, what are you focusing on when it

201
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: comes to lower back pain.

202
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: So a lot of lower back pain comes from either

203
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 3: week of dominos or too tight of hip flexers, not

204
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: strong glutes, so all of it. It's not just one thing.

205
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: So I'm always I warm up before my workouts I

206
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: foam roll before my workouts because a tight muscle is

207
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: not a strong muscle, so I make sure I don't

208
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: have knots in my muscles. One of the biggest reasons

209
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: I developed eighty day obsession was a My boss asked

210
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 3: me for an ABS and ASS program. That's what he said,

211
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 3: I want an ABS and ASS program. And I said, okay,

212
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna give you a functional ABS and ASS program,

213
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: meaning like it's going to have a purpose, not just like,

214
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: look how good my abs and butt look. Because we

215
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: sit all day long, and we hunch over computers and

216
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 3: phones all day long. So I'm not the only person

217
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: with back issues. There's so many of us. So I

218
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: wanted to really develop something that taught people how to

219
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 3: strengthen those areas because that's what I had spent so

220
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 3: much of my time learning.

221
00:09:59,040 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 4: Okay, if I.

222
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: Strengthened this, this doesn't hurt anymore. If I stretch this,

223
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 3: this doesn't hurt anymore. If I build that, I can

224
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: move my legs properly if I'm moving from my glutes.

225
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 4: So yeah, it takes a little time and learning, but

226
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 4: that's what I did.

227
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 2: Okay, So you're in college, you're a dance major. What

228
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: do you think you're gonna do with your life?

229
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 4: I wanted to dance, and I wanted to act.

230
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: I wanted I knew, always knew I wanted to move

231
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 3: to California. That like, since I was itty bitty, I

232
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: would run around the house saying I'm gonna live in California,

233
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: and my dad would always tell me, like, no, you're

234
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: not watch me. So I thought I was gonna dance.

235
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: I really did, Like I wasn't exactly sure. I didn't

236
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 3: know if I would be dancing on a tour or

237
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 3: dancing in music videos. You know, I'm a child of

238
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: the eighties, which means I was in college in the nineties.

239
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 3: That's when music videos were hot, hot hot.

240
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 4: You know, you had Britney Spears and Christina Ana.

241
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 3: Guilera and then Sink and all these people that dance,

242
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: like really dance, and Janet Jackson and even Will Smith.

243
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 3: Like you had all these people that danced. So I

244
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 3: wanted to do that. My back was never.

245
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 4: Gonna let me do it, right.

246
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would say or argue that the Will

247
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: Smith dance video is a little bit different than the

248
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: Britney Spears dance video.

249
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: They are, but I still loved that getting jiggy with it.

250
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 2: Come on, okay, So we thought we were gonna dance,

251
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: thought we were gonna dance, and that's not what happened.

252
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 3: That is not what happened. And that was that was

253
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: a tough pill to swallow. So I was my junior

254
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 3: year of college. I was battling a couple things. I

255
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: was battling my back, which was also causing k me issues.

256
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 3: And my ballet master, who was in charge of the

257
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: entire dance program at Webster. He was awful, like he

258
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: was the epitome of what dance instructors are and what

259
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: they shouldn't be. So this man tore me down on

260
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 3: a daily basis, like always told me I wasn't good enough.

261
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: I wasn't trying hard enough. It didn't matter how what

262
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: I brought to the class, it was never going to

263
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: be enough for him. He was a ballet dancer. He

264
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: wanted me to be a ballet dancer. And that is

265
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 3: not my strong suit. No matter how hard I tried,

266
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 3: and I would always try my best, it just wasn't

267
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 3: my thing. I was a chance dancer. And so junior year,

268
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: I sneezed at one point and it took me to

269
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: the ground like just a sneeze, literally dropped me to

270
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: the ground, couldn't get back up.

271
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 4: Went to the doctor.

272
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 3: The doctor, that's when I found out about the bulging disc,

273
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 3: the ball.

274
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 4: It's there's so many things.

275
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 3: It's quite interesting that I'm in the fitness world because

276
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 3: of it. Like my hips are off, my one leg

277
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: is longer than the other by like a half an.

278
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: Inch half an inch.

279
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 3: It's a big difference. Yeah, it's a big difference. And

280
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: so it all throws all my alignment off.

281
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: Immediately.

282
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: Just looked at your sneakers to look if you had

283
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: a lifter in one of that. I don't have a

284
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: list to see that. Okay, I probably should.

285
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 4: But I don't.

286
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 3: Uh. And so when I went to the doctor, he said,

287
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 3: he said to me, like, look, if you keep dancing

288
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: as much as you are, because I was dancing about

289
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 3: six or seven hours a day. You keep dancing the

290
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: way you are, you'll be in back surgery at twenty

291
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 3: And he said, Or you can stop dancing this much,

292
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 3: you can do it recreationally as fun, and you probably

293
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: will never have to have back surgery. So every thing

294
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 3: I spent my entire life working towards was like, great,

295
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 3: keep going, You're gonna end up in back surgery and

296
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 3: you probably won't be doing this anyways or find something

297
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 3: new to.

298
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 4: Do with your life.

299
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 3: So I actually left, and at the same time, my

300
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 3: ballet master basically sat me down and told me he

301
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 3: was never going.

302
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 4: To cast me in the final show.

303
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: He just didn't This man did not like me, and

304
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 3: he was like, I'm never gonna cast you in the

305
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 3: final show, and if you don't get cast in the

306
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 3: final show, you won't ever graduate with your degree.

307
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 4: So basically he was.

308
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 3: Telling me there's no point in you being here because

309
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 3: I'm never gonna let you graduate. So I was like,

310
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 3: all right, well then I guess I'm not graduating.

311
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 4: So I left.

312
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna stay in school not knowing what I

313
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: wanted to do, so I left.

314
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 4: I took some time.

315
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 3: For a minute, I thought I wanted to be a

316
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 3: physical therapist and work with injured dancers like that seemed

317
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: kind of maybe like a direction I wanted to go,

318
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: but then ended up not being And eventually I packed

319
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 3: my bags and had it to California.

320
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: Finally just gonna.

321
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 3: Go do it, like because I could still audition, I

322
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 3: could audition for commercials and movies, and I was taking

323
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: acting classes out here, and I was doing all that.

324
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 4: And it was going okay.

325
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 3: I got my sag card. I was doing little things

326
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 3: here and there, but it just wasn't enough. I was

327
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: still waiting tables to pay the bills. I had met

328
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: My then boyfriend became my fiance was you know, we

329
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 3: ended up getting married, but at the time he was

330
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: he's significantly older than me. He was not comfortable with

331
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: me pursuing acting and dancing. He's like, that's not very

332
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: financially stable for us to like get married and start

333
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 3: a family. And so that's when I started looking. I

334
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: was already looking for other career things to do, but

335
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: that's when I really started looking for something else to do.

336
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: And is that when you kind of started to lean

337
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: into personal training.

338
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, So people kept saying, why don't you become a

339
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: dance teacher, Why don't you become a dance teacher?

340
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 4: And that was too hard for me. It was so

341
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 4: close to my heart.

342
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 3: It was so emotional for me that I couldn't do

343
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: it the way I wanted to do it anymore. That

344
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 3: I didn't want to teach it like I stepped away

345
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: from it for four years. I didn't step foot in

346
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: a dance class.

347
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 2: I can't even imagine what it's got to be like

348
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: to feel so passionate about something for so long in

349
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: your life and then literally having no other choice but

350
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: to step back from it.

351
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was traumatizing. It was really emotional. Like I said,

352
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 3: it really messed with my confidence level. It messed with

353
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: what I felt I was capable of doing. But I

354
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 3: knew I loved being physically active, and I knew I

355
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 3: liked helping people, and so that's when I decided I

356
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 3: was going to become.

357
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 4: A personal trainer.

358
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: I think this is also something important to mention with

359
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: regard to becoming injured, because I think a lot of

360
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: individuals really struggle with this idea that, whether it's dance

361
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 2: or running or CrossFit or whatever your sport is, when

362
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: you get injured and you become down and out and

363
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: you realize that you really need to take a step back,

364
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 2: that really messes with your headspace. It messes with your

365
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: sense of self worth. It canfus you as to how

366
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: you're supposed to let go of a lot of the

367
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: aggression and the stress and the things that we deal

368
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: with every day, so I can definitely see some parallels drawn.

369
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, in between the.

370
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 3: Two, when it's sort of your identity, it's when then

371
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 3: it's gone, You're you're left to figure out who you

372
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 3: are without that right, which in a way is a

373
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: great thing, right, Like it's a blessing in disguise. I

374
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 3: really believe that things are not failures, that they're redirects,

375
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 3: and I was definitely being redirected. It took a really

376
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: long time. It's actually funny because we were talking about this.

377
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 3: Before we started about I said, there's so many hurdles, like.

378
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 4: Let's pick one. How do we pick one?

379
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 3: And as we're talking about this, it's interesting because I

380
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 3: think my dance teacher, my college dance teacher, probably did

381
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: one of the biggest numbers on me possible, like, really

382
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 3: really messed me up emotionally in terms of self confidence

383
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 3: and what I felt I was capable of doing. And

384
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: I had to face it head on with Beach Body. Yeah,

385
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: and not with my first program, not with my second program,

386
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: not with my third program, all of which had done

387
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 3: very well. So at that point you would think, great,

388
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 3: your self confidence must be sky high, which it was

389
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: until my boss called me into his office and told

390
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 3: me what he wanted my fourth program to be. And

391
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 3: he said, I know you like country music, right and

392
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 3: I said yeah, And he's like, I want you to

393
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 3: do a dance program with country music, so based like

394
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: not country line dancing, but sort of around that theme,

395
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: creating moves to the music. That's very simple, beginner level.

396
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 3: And every fear I had came rushing back, and every insecurity,

397
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 3: every doubt that I had in my ability to create

398
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 3: that program came back and.

399
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 4: Working on it. Working on it was a blessing.

400
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 3: But like I said, it really made me face every

401
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 3: one of those insecurities work through them. It wasn't just

402
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 3: a like, it wasn't an I simple like, Okay, we're

403
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 3: going to do this. I mean there was emotional breakdowns

404
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 3: to myself more often than not, but there was a

405
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: lot because when we went into development on it, it

406
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: took seven versions before we got to the version that

407
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 3: my boss approved, and we were running out of time. Yeah,

408
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 3: like he was about to switch programs on me because

409
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: he was like, we're not getting it.

410
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 4: It's not what I want.

411
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 3: I don't and he didn't know how to explain to

412
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: me what he wanted so I was like trying to

413
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 3: read his mind, and I had one more shot at it,

414
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: and we sat down at a table and I was like, walk.

415
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 4: Me through again what you want, like, explain it to

416
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 4: me again. Let me just see.

417
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 3: And the way he explained it to me, it finally

418
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 3: clicked and I was like, Oh, you don't want to

419
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 3: dance routine, you want steps. And I was like, okay,

420
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 3: got it. But that was months months of trying and

421
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: then months of development and months of being nitpicked and

422
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 3: like I need more queueing and I need this and so,

423
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 3: like I said, it really it really was something that

424
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 3: brought up every insecurity I had.

425
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: Before we move on, tell me a little bit about

426
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: what beach Body is.

427
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 4: So, beach Body.

428
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 3: Is a company that creates at home fitness and nutrition programs.

429
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: Most people are most familiar with P ninety X from

430
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 3: Tony Horton. So Tony Horton was one of the first

431
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 3: trainers that beach Body ever had. So beach Body is

432
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 3: owned by Carl Deichler, and beach Body puts out the program,

433
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: so they find the trainer that you know, we develop

434
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 3: it together with the beach Body team, then we film it.

435
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 4: Then beach Body sells.

436
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 3: The program, and Beach Body actually kind of has two

437
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: different markets.

438
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 4: They have for years they had the infomercial market.

439
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: Where they would sell it on TV and you could

440
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 3: just buy it direct like that, and then they also

441
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 3: have the coaching market, so which is a multi level

442
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 3: marketing side of it, where people can be a Beach

443
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 3: Body coach and they are they put groups together where

444
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 3: but basically the coach is like your support system. You're

445
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 3: your cheerleader for you. They help you find the program

446
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 3: that's right for you. They're your accountability partner. They check

447
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 3: in on you to make sure you're having success. So

448
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 3: you can go either way with it. You know, you

449
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: can just go online and order things right just automatically

450
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 3: from Beach Body. You can get beach Body on demand

451
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 3: where all the workout programs are listed.

452
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 4: My cooking show is on.

453
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 3: There, or you can buy it through a coach, which

454
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 3: is all the same thing at all, and you all

455
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: end up in the same place. It's just whether or

456
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 3: not you want that extra accountability cheerleader, that cheerleader, that

457
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 3: person of like, Hey, I'm not doing this on my own,

458
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 3: so I need somebody to call me and be like,

459
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 3: did you press play today?

460
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: And sometimes we all need someone like yeah, totally, we

461
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 2: do uh to reflect on this idea of the dance

462
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 2: coach and then even your boss making you feel at

463
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 2: times like you were less or a little inferior. I

464
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 2: mean we all have people like that in our lives.

465
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 2: I think that what is so important in a constant

466
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: battle for me, and I'm sure you experience it as

467
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 2: well as is coming to terms with this idea that

468
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 2: like you are good as you are, and because someone

469
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: thinks something about you, that doesn't mean that that's how

470
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 2: you are. That doesn't mean that's who you are are.

471
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: What it means is that, all right, this is this

472
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: person's opinion. But it's so important to get to a

473
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: place where you feel confident in what you have to

474
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 2: bring to the table, knowing that that criticism doesn't define you.

475
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 3: Right well, I love the saying that other people's opinions

476
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 3: are running your business, for sure. I love that because

477
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 3: you know, everybody's got an opinion about everybody, and that person,

478
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 3: like you said, that person's opinion really isn't It's not

479
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: a reflection of you. The only thing that matters is

480
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 3: your opinion. And I don't think my boss ever made

481
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 3: me feel inferior. In fact, if anything, he was the

482
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 3: one building me up always. But that doesn't mean, you know,

483
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 3: he didn't have a company you run in a vision

484
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 3: that he had. But it's interesting how you can take

485
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 3: what somebody is asking of you and turn it into

486
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 3: I'm not doing it good enough. I'm not giving them

487
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 3: what they need, I'm not bringing my best self to

488
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 3: the table, which is never what was actually being said

489
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 3: or even remotely implied. But when you've got that deep

490
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: seated history of me, for me, the dance teacher telling

491
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 3: me straight out I wasn't good enough, straight out I

492
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 3: didn't try hard enough. I was never gonna make it.

493
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 3: That can't help but play in the background so that

494
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 3: when somebody corrected, gives you corrective criticism or you know,

495
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 3: constructive criticism.

496
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: You flip it totally.

497
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 4: You flip it.

498
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 3: And that's something that we have to learn for ourselves

499
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: to silence that yeah and to not let that past

500
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 3: define us.

501
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: Talk to me about what it was like when the first,

502
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: the second, and the third programs really caught on like wildfire,

503
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 2: because I think we skipped over becoming a personal trainer

504
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 2: and throwing into this beach body thing. So how did

505
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: you even transition into a place where you went from

506
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: personal trainer working out of god knows what Jim in

507
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: California to finding Beach Body and creating these programs.

508
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a super long story, but it basically I

509
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 3: was a trained at Equinox. I also had a lot

510
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 3: of private clients at the time. And yes, I had

511
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 3: private clients that were in front of the camera, but

512
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 3: I had a lot of private clients that were sort

513
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 3: of in the entertainment industry but on the back end

514
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 3: side of it, and I was working on creating a

515
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 3: product that helped people with portion control. That was something

516
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: that I was seeing that was a big problem for

517
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 3: so many clients was that I would be kicking their

518
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 3: butt in the gym five days a week and they

519
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 3: would be going up and down five pounds. And I

520
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 3: had one client in particular, who I had become very

521
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 3: good friends with at the same time. We went out

522
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 3: to lunch one day after her workout and we had

523
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 3: ordered salads, and these salads were enormous, and she basically

524
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 3: ate the entire salad. I had a portion of it,

525
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: and looking across the table, it was sort of like

526
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 3: that aha moment of like that's our problem.

527
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 4: And that's why I said to her.

528
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 3: I was like, that's your problem, and she's like, what,

529
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 3: I had a salad and I was like, yeah, it's

530
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: not just a salad in California, We've got all the

531
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 3: nutritional information on the menus. So we pulled up the

532
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 3: menu and sure enough, the salad was like fifteen hundred calories.

533
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 3: It was really like six servings of vegetables for four

534
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 3: or five servings of carbohydrates. It was lettuce and pasta

535
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 3: and croutons and broccoli and feta, cheese and chicken and

536
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 3: salad dressing to cover a salad that big. So she

537
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 3: had eaten almost all of her calories for the day

538
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 3: in that one meal. She had stretched out her stomach,

539
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 3: which means she was going to go really long time

540
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 3: without eating again because she was probably going to be

541
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 3: a little overly full. Her digestion was going to be

542
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 3: a little bit harder because how much she had just

543
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 3: put in there. So all of it just started rushing

544
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 3: through my mind. So that's when I started to work

545
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 3: on my portion control product. I launched it on the

546
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 3: Hallmark channel on a show called Home and Family. From there,

547
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 3: I had given it also to one of my private

548
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 3: clients who was in the entertainment industry and the sound

549
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 3: editing side of it.

550
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 4: They were having a friend over for lunch one day.

551
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 3: He was a slightly bigger gentleman and they were trying

552
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 3: to nudge him to lose weight, and so they said,

553
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 3: look what our trainer created. And he wasn't at all

554
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: interested in it for himself, but he said, I think

555
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 3: I know somebody who might be interested in that.

556
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 4: Can I pass it on?

557
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: So they called me. They asked me if he could

558
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: pass it on. I said, who's you passing on to?

559
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 3: They said, beach body.

560
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my gosh.

561
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: Yes.

562
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 3: Eventually, like a week or so later, I got called

563
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: in for I got the phone call that they wanted

564
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 3: to have a meeting with me.

565
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 4: We didn't have the meeting for six.

566
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 3: More weeks because it was right before Christmas, so the

567
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 3: CEO was going out of town, he wasn't gonna be around.

568
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 3: Went in, had the meeting. The meeting went well. Wasn't

569
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 3: sure how it went.

570
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 4: You never know.

571
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 3: When you're sitting in those situations, You're like, did I

572
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 3: say the right thing?

573
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 4: Should I have said more?

574
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 3: Should I have said less? And it was about two

575
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 3: months until I got the phone call and the email

576
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 3: that had the contract in it.

577
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: Longest two months ever.

578
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 4: Longest two months of my life. I've never checked my

579
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 4: email so many times.

580
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: I can totally relate to that.

581
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: Especially it's like when I have a new article coming

582
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 2: out in a magazine and I'm really excited about it. Yeah,

Speaker 2: to news stand date, even though that I know that

586
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 2: news stand date isn't for two weeks.

587
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,439

Speaker 3: I have a contract, And I just went into development

611
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 3: on my first program, which ended up being twenty one

612
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 3: Day Fixed. That honestly was the monster. Like that was

613
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 3: my first program ever with them. It was a hell

614
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 3: of a ride just in the creation process. It was

615
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 3: supposed to be nine weeks of a test group. It

616
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 3: turned into nine months of a test group. So it

617
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 3: was a really interesting time juggling so many things in

618
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 3: my life. I was still a personal trainer. I didn't

619
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 3: want to give up my private clients because I didn't

620
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 3: know how this was going to go. I had just

621
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 3: gotten divorced the year before. I was taking care of

622
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 3: my son, he was two two and a half. In

623
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 3: the process of all of everything that was going on,

624
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 3: my ex husband lost his job, was moving to San Diego.

625
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 4: I was a fitness competitor.

626
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 3: I had a competition literally three days before we started

627
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 3: filming the workouts.

628
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 4: I like a lot on my plate.

629
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: I was going to say, you're not doing anything here, no,

630
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 2: very there's nothing going on, nothing geez.

631
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 4: I like a lot on my plate.

632
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 3: And it was funny because when we filmed, even then,

633
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 3: I was dealing with something the director at the time

634
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: I had been I had worked for the director at

635
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 3: the time many years ago as background talent for her,

636
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 3: and she is amazing and her and I are wonderful

637
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 3: friends now, but at the time she was still looking

638
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 3: at me as background talent, and so all through rehearsals

639
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 3: she was very much treating me like I didn't know

640
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: what I was doing, like I was background talent, Like

641
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 3: you going to need to do this, and you're gonna

642
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 3: need to do that, and I was like, I know,

643
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: I know, I got it. I promise I got it.

644
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 3: And in the meantime, I'm rehearsal week is also peak

645
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: week for competition, so I'm carb depleted, I'm dehydrated.

646
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 4: I'm still trying to get my workouts in.

647
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 3: I'm trying to go to my weigh ins and all

648
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 3: these things, and I'm in rehearsals with once again somebody

649
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 3: telling me I don't know what I'm doing. So it's

650
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 3: it's an emotional drain that week, but it's also so

651
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 3: exciting because I can't wait to get in there and

652
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 3: film the workouts, right, so we did. We went in,

653
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 3: we filmed the first workout on the first day. They're like,

654
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 3: don't worry about it. Let's just give it a shot.

655
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 4: See how it goes. They yelled action.

656
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,239
Speaker 3: We filmed the whole workout, which was thirty minutes. They

657
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 3: yelled cut and everybody was standing there with like a

658
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: blank look on their face.

659
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 4: And I was like, oh my god, I sucked.

660
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: In my mind, that's what I'm thinking, like, oh God,

661
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 3: all right, Like they're gonna come talk to me.

662
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: Dance teacher two point oh, yeah.

663
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 3: Dance teacher two point oh. I thought for sure, and

664
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 3: I knew my CEO was there. He was in the

665
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 3: back room, and I was just like, oh my gosh, okay.

666
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 3: And the director she came out and she kind of

667
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 3: came walking up to me very slow, and she would

668
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 3: call me Boo, and she said she put her hand

669
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,959
Speaker 3: on my shoulder and she said, Boo. In all of

670
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 3: my career, I've never seen anybody get it in one take.

671
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 3: And so it was like that moment of relief, of

672
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 3: like vindication of like I know, I knew what I

673
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 3: was doing, and she was like, that was amazing. Let's

674
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 3: do one for safety. And I was like, okay, great,

675
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: and she's like, you know, take five, get water and

676
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 3: we'll do it again. And normally the CEO at least

677
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 3: I was told, would stay for the whole first day.

678
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 3: And he came walking out and he's like, she's got it,

679
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 3: and he left and so he's out of there. He's

680
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 3: like I was like, all right, that's fantastic. And we

681
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 3: filmed for that week and I went through a six

682
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 3: months waiting period. Nobody knew who I was. They weren't

683
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 3: announcing me yet, so I had to still go in

684
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 3: this like limbo time period of sort of who am

685
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 3: I and what am I doing now? Because the product

686
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 3: wasn't launching yet they hadn't announced me.

687
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: I was still training. I didn't know how much longer

688
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: I should.

689
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 3: Keep my clients because I felt bad knowing that I

690
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 3: was going to be leaving them.

691
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: And then finally we launched.

692
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 3: We launched February eleventh of twenty fourteen.

693
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: And not to mention, like, you were also going through

694
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: such a crazy emotional transition. Yes, so you're dealing with

695
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 2: this huge shift in your personal life. You're being a

696
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: mom to this two and a half year old that's

697
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 2: running around, You're trying to balance your clients and this

698
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 2: new career and so worried about what's going to happen next,

699
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: and it's just, yeah.

700
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 4: It was a lot. It was a lot looking back

701
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 4: on it, but.

702
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 3: It was all so good that it was, you know,

703
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 3: especially when you're like on that climb up, but you

704
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 3: know that the climb is good. I don't I don't

705
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: remember ever being tired.

706
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 4: I'm sure I was exhausted.

707
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm more tired now, but it was,

708
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: you know, there's so there's so much excitement around it,

709
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 3: there's so much energy around it.

710
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 4: There's so much unknown.

711
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: In what's to be discovered that if you lean into that,

712
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 3: which is what I was doing. I was leaning into

713
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 3: like all the fun I was having with it and

714
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 3: the fact that it was everything I had been working

715
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 3: looking for.

716
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: So it might not have felt tired, but I bet

717
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 2: that you did feel alone.

718
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 3: No, here's the thing that those were not the moments

719
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 3: of feeling alone.

720
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: Interesting, It's not.

721
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 3: Those were the moments where, no, I've never felt so

722
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 3: lifted up. It was like, I have this Beach Bodies,

723
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: this amazing company. I had all these people around me.

724
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 3: I had all my friends that were still trainers at

725
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 3: Equinox that were like cheering me on. That is not

726
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 3: when I felt alone. We launched the program, and the

727
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 3: program blew it out.

728
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 4: Of the water.

729
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 3: We sold in the first day what they predicted to

730
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 3: sell in the first week. We sold in the first

731
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 3: week what they predicted to sell in the first three months,

732
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 3: and we went on back order for two months with

733
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: that launch. It was one of the biggest launches in

734
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 3: the Beach Body history. That infomercial stayed at number one

735
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 3: for fourteen weeks straight. It stayed in the top ten

736
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 3: infomercials for over a year. It was I would say

737
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 3: five six months in. It's not when it's not when

738
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 3: you're making the climb that you're alone.

739
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 4: It's when you hit the success.

740
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: And it's funny because when I signed on to Beach

741
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 3: Body and when I was in the development process, I

742
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 3: had a meeting with my CEO and at the end

743
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 3: of my meeting, he said to me, do you have

744
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 3: some good friends? And I thought it was such a

745
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 3: weird question, and I was like yeah, And he's like,

746
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 3: do you have you close with your family? And I

747
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 3: was like yeah, and he's like, keep them around. It's

748
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 3: lonely at the top. That's all I said, keep them around.

749
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 3: It's lonely at the top. And I really didn't think

750
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 3: anything of it.

751
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 4: When he said it.

752
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 3: He could not have been more right in terms of

753
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 3: when you find your success, you also find you see

754
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 3: a really unattractive side of people that maybe never saw before.

755
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 3: That's when jealousy starts to come out. That's when talking

756
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 3: behind your back starts to come out. That's when people

757
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 3: that are even the closest of people in your life

758
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 3: start to make you feel like you're the bank and

759
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 3: not the friend or the relative, right like, what can

760
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 3: I have from you? Without thinking twice?

761
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 4: You know? So that's it's not the climb where it

762
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 4: feels lonely.

763
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: It's the top and it's like when they come to you,

764
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: it's as though they always need something. It's never to

765
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 2: check on you. It's that quote that people always say.

766
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 2: It's like, don't forget to check on your strong friend.

767
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 2: It's like they see you doing well and they think, Okay,

768
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 2: she's all set.

769
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: Yes, but that's not really how it works.

770
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 3: No, it's really not. And that's the really interesting thing

771
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 3: that I think so many people have a hard time with.

772
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 3: They see people that have had success, and they forget

773
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 3: that there were these hurdles that they had to overcome.

774
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 3: They forget that there's a whole story that happened before

775
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 3: that success story happened. That for most of us, we

776
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 3: weren't born with you know, like, sure, you can have

777
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 3: anything you want, and your parents happen to be in

778
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 3: the field you want, you know, like most people aren't

779
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 3: the children of.

780
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 4: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

781
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,439
Speaker 3: Like, so if they want to be an actor, they've

782
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 3: got parents who are who can direct put them right

783
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 3: where they need to be. You know what, most of

784
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 3: us don't have that. I'm a Midwest girl from Ohio.

785
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 3: My dad owned pizza places like that that, you know,

786
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 3: and I had a strong family, and I had family

787
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 3: that told me, like my dad always told me you

788
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 3: could be anything you want to be. My mom questioned

789
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 3: me when I moved to California and said, what makes

790
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 3: you think you're any better than anybody else that has

791
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 3: moved there.

792
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 4: So there was.

793
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 3: There's always that side, there's always that story that happened before.

794
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 3: And I think that's really important for people to remember

795
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 3: on both ends of it. The people that are going

796
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 3: through it, like, just because you're going through it, doesn't

797
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 3: mean you're not going to get through it doesn't mean

798
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 3: you're not going to end up on the other side

799
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 3: with a huge success story. And for the people looking

800
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 3: at those people with this success story, like you said, yeah,

801
00:35:54,239 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 3: don't assume that because they're successful in their career that

802
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that they don't still have hurdles that

803
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 3: they have to overcome, or that they don't still need

804
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 3: to be checked on or asked, you know, like what's going.

805
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 4: On with you?

806
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 3: Hey, Like how is everything? Because I think that's really important.

807
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: It's super important.

808
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 2: Okay, So while you are at the top, so to speak,

809
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 2: after this first launch and it goes so crazy successful,

810
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: how are you handling some of these what can be

811
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 2: described as overwhelming feelings.

812
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 3: You know, I think for the first year, you're on

813
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 3: such a high of like, oh my gosh, like this

814
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 3: is everything I've wanted.

815
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 4: That it's it takes a minute. It really takes a

816
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 4: minute to process it all.

817
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 3: And I don't think I processed or even started a

818
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 3: process what was happening until maybe after the first year

819
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 3: or even two years, maybe even after Fixed Extreme launched,

820
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 3: where then you start to go, okay, like this is

821
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 3: really happening, like it wasn't just one program, this is

822
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 3: my second program. And you know, after Fixed Extreme came

823
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 3: the Master's Hammer and Chisel, and then that's where your

824
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 3: mind starts to shift a little bit of going like

825
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 3: you know, when you're making that climb and you have

826
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 3: that first big one that's like the big hurrah, oh

827
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 3: my gosh. But there does there is this transitional period

828
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 3: that happens where you go from being the one who's like,

829
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, I'm up and coming and I'm new

830
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 3: to the one who's like, oh my gosh, I've got

831
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 3: a target on my back because I'm I'm the quote

832
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 3: unquote want to be I'm the quote unquote want to

833
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 3: break my break that record, do better than she did,

834
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 3: and all of it all you really have to, like

835
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 3: I have to check in on the regular with myself.

836
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 3: You have to keep a level head. You have to

837
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 3: keep your head down and stay focused. You have to

838
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 3: not worry about the stats like that.

839
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 4: Like I always have to.

840
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 3: Stop and say to myself, what's the goal. The goal

841
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 3: is to help people. That's all that matters. Like, it's

842
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 3: not about you know, how many followers you have on Instagram,

843
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 3: how many likes you get. It's not about like, you know,

844
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 3: did this product outsell that product? Did this product help somebody?

845
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 3: That's what has to be priority number one.

846
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 2: You mentioned social media. How was getting familiar with that

847
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 2: for you.

848
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 3: I had been on social media, you know, I had Facebook.

849
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 3: We all had Facebook. I had just barely started. Everybody

850
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 3: had barely started using Instagram about seven years ago when

851
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 3: when I was sort of in development or for twenty

852
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 3: one day fixed. So I feel like that has been

853
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 3: an ever changing thing for all of us. Anybody that's

854
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 3: kind of been in business for the last eight to

855
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 3: ten years. I think we're all learning it as we go,

856
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 3: and it changes every single day.

857
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: What about the feedback loop.

858
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 3: Uh, I learned very quickly to I learned very quickly the.

859
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 4: Skill of swipe, delete and block when needed.

860
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 3: So I do not do negativity on my feed, and

861
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 3: I'm it's one of those moments like I've tried to

862
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 3: keep my feed pretty positive, but I have no problem

863
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 3: coming on and given like tough love, mama, bear love,

864
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 3: Like keep your negative crap off my site.

865
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 4: Like if you don't like what I'm posting.

866
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 3: That's cool, you don't have to follow me, but you

867
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 3: are not allowed to come on here and have negativity

868
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 3: towards somebody else or towards me. So like if I

869
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 3: post somebodies before and after, you're not allowed to come

870
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 3: on and question their hard work. No way, that person

871
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 3: worked their butt off literally, So you don't get to

872
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 3: tell them that they didn't. You don't get to say

873
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 3: that they still don't look good. You don't get to

874
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 3: skinny shame somebody and say like, you looked better before.

875
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 4: You don't get to fat shame.

876
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 3: Somebody and say like, oh my gosh, why would you

877
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 3: post like cause there's been all of that on it.

878
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 3: So I have my fice, the Italian side to me,

879
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 3: and I just don't tolerate that on my stuff. I'm like,

880
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 3: I want I want when people to come over to

881
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 3: my feed wherever it is, to want it to be

882
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 3: a positive experience and for me too, and a lot

883
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 3: of times it's not. You know, I get I get treaded,

884
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 3: but I usually know what I'm gonna get treaded for.

885
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 4: Before I ever post it.

886
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't care, and I've I've made that very

887
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 3: clear to people too. I'm like, you, guys, I know

888
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 3: what you're gonna say before I ever post the picture.

00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 4: If I cared, I.

890
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 3: Wouldn't post it.

00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

892
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 2: Well that goes back to again, this self dialogue, right,

893
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 2: this creating this place where you feel confident in what

894
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 2: you have to offer, so it doesn't matter what anybody

895
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: has to say about what you are doing.

896
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: You're just fine.

897
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

898
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not posting anything obscene or trashy or anything

899
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 3: like that. So I'm like, if you don't like my

00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 2: Okay, So now, so much success with beach body talk

906
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 2: to me about what has then become the next chapter

907
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 2: for you. So where are you at with now what's

908
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 2: going on? Talk to me about maybe talk to me

909
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 2: about Revenge body and the whole shebang.

910
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 3: So we I am in this new chapter, which is

911
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 3: it's such a fun chapter of really like this is

912
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 3: the established chapter. This is the no longer like I

913
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 3: don't I'm not proving I don't have to prove anything anymore,

914
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 3: which is a lovely place to work from where it's

915
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 3: just getting to really create to and put out what

916
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 3: I want to put out. So when I talk to

917
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 3: my boss, when I sit down and have meetings with

918
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 3: him about what's next, It's always been a very creative process,

919
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 3: but like over the years, it's become more and more

920
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 3: so where like he knows, I have my finger on

921
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 3: the pulse. I really listen to what my followers are

922
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 3: asking for, what our fans are asking for, what our

923
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 3: coaches are asking for. I'm always learning something new. I'm

924
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 3: trying to stay ahead of the science. With the science,

925
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 3: I've gone through so much. I've gone through issues with

926
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 3: my gut health over the years, so I'm always trying

927
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 3: to bring whatever I've learned to everybody else. So I

928
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 3: look at my struggles as my biggest lessons now that

929
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 3: you know, there's the saying that God doesn't give you

930
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 3: what you can handle, And sometimes I feel like I've

931
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 3: been given the hard things because I can go show

932
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 3: people how to how to work through them, not just

933
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 3: survive them, but really how to thrive in them, how

934
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 3: to thrive in the uncomfortable. And so I'm taking all

935
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 3: of that. I'm taking all of these life experiences, and

936
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 3: that's what's getting put into all of this next chapter

937
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 3: of my life. The new programs, the new my new

938
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 3: nutrition program launched. That's what I think was so much

939
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 3: fun on Revenge Body and the girl that I got

940
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 3: to work with and where she was at in her

941
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 3: life as we were filming that, and being able to

942
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 3: take all of my hurdles, all of my life lessons

943
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 3: and say I've been there, we're gonna be okay, Like

944
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 3: let's work through this together, let's talk it out like

945
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 3: where we at, you know, like really just being able

946
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 3: to take my life lessons into each one of these experiences,

947
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 3: each one of these new products, each one of these

948
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 3: new programs, each one of these new opportunities.

949
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 4: It really like just such a beautiful path. I guess

950
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 4: that I'm on.

951
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 3: It's you can't see the blessing in the rainstorm, you

952
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 3: can't see it when it's happening, And so many people

953
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 3: get stuck in that. So many people get stuck where

954
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 3: it's hard, and they assume that that's just life.

955
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 4: Life is just hard.

956
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 3: Why me?

957
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 4: I'm always the one kicked down.

958
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 3: And the biggest piece of advice I can give to

959
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 3: people is that if you can recognize that somewhere in there,

960
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 3: the blessing will come. And I'm not saying it's coming tomorrow.

961
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's coming in a month. It might

962
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 3: not even be coming in a year. But there will

963
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 3: be a moment where you will be able to look

964
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 3: back and be like, oh my gosh, I'm so glad

965
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:50,240
Speaker 3: that happened, or I'm so glad that didn't happen, because

966
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 3: if that happened, I wouldn't be here, Or if that

967
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 3: didn't happen, I wouldn't be here. So all of that

968
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 3: has just made the experience, and it makes this next

969
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 3: chapter of everything that I'm creating that much deeper.

970
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 4: And more meaningful for me.

971
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 2: You've had the opportunity to work with so many people

972
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 2: to impact so many people.

973
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 1: When you look back so far on.

974
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 2: Your career, maybe since say twenty twelve, is there any

975
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 2: particular story that you always go back to, any particular

976
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 2: person that has just left this outrageous impact on you.

977
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 3: It's so hard to say that there's one. Of course,

978
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 3: there's so many. Yeah, we just had in July. We

979
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 3: just had our huge event of the year for Beach Body,

980
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 3: where there's twenty thousand people that come and I sat

981
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 3: there and was signing. I was autographing cookbooks for four

982
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 3: hours a day for two days in a row. So

983
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 3: I'm getting to hear everybody's stories, and there's so many

984
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 3: powerful stories.

985
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 4: And some of them are.

986
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,479
Speaker 3: Massive weight loss stories. Right there was somebody who lost

987
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 3: one hundred and seventeen pounds. There's been a few of

988
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 3: those people who are unrecognizable because of how much weight

989
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 3: they've lost. But it's not about that number. It's about

990
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 3: what they've gained. It's not about that like, oh, I've

991
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,479
Speaker 3: lost one hundred and seventeen punds I lost one hundred

992
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 3: and twenty pound. It's about like, I'm able to be

993
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 3: a good mom again to my kids because I felt

994
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 3: like a bad mom. I felt like I couldn't keep

995
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 3: up with them. I felt like I wasn't giving them

996
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 3: the best version of me, or I was teaching them

997
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 3: the wrong way. To be able to give that to

998
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 3: a mom, to be able to help a mom feel.

999
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 4: That way, that is powerful.

1000
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 3: I've had many girls now over the years come up

1001
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 3: to me and tell me that they've beat eating disorders

1002
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 3: with the ultimate portion, fixed container system, and that isn't

1003
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 3: something I could have ever imagined in my wildest dreams

1004
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 3: when I was putting that nutrition program together. And for me,

1005
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 3: that one's close to home. I've personally have never had

1006
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 3: an issue like that. I've never had dealt with food

1007
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 3: in that way. But I was a dancer, so I

1008
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 3: watched it all the time. I watched girls struggle, and it.

1009
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 4: Was heartbreaking to see to.

1010
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 3: See people experience that and see how sick they were,

1011
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 3: and to feel helpless when somebody's standing next to you

1012
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 3: at the ballet bar and like just wondering how they're

1013
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 3: holding themselves up. And so to have people come up

1014
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 3: to me and say, I've been in and out of

1015
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 3: hospitals for treatment, nothing has ever worked, and I finally

1016
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 3: feel in control of my food and it's not controlling me.

1017
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 3: That that is powerre full. When I've had people come

1018
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,760
Speaker 3: up to me and say, you helped me through cancer,

1019
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 3: you know, like I was going through cancer and your

1020
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 3: motivation kept me going throughout the day. Those are all

1021
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 3: like those are all just every bit of it, every

1022
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 3: single person story, every single person that's shared it with me,

1023
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 3: whether it's been in an.

1024
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 4: Email or handwritten letter that they've.

1025
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 3: Given to me at an event, or the thirty seconds

1026
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 3: that they spit it out in a photo line there.

1027
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 4: I can't even pick just.

1028
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: One you mentioned.

1029
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 2: We've talked social media, so many people following you, so

1030
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 2: many people coming up to you in lines to talk

1031
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 2: about cookbooks and workouts and all of the things.

1032
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 1: They're so changed by you.

1033
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,240
Speaker 2: They look at you and they see a role model

1034
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 2: and someone that's in shape and has a great attitude

1035
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 2: and wants to give them all that she can. When

1036
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 2: you look in the mirror, what is it that you see?

1037
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 3: I see somebody who's incredibly passionate about helping other people.

1038
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 3: And that has become my life. Mission is that, no

1039
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 3: matter what is going on my job, my purpose here

1040
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 3: is to help people lead a healthier, happier life.

1041
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: What do you want to do going forward, everything, everything,

1042
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: all of it.

1043
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 4: I want to do all of it.

1044
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: Are you going to do any more bikini competitions?

1045
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 4: Uh?

1046
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 3: I don't think I will be competing anymore. I loved

1047
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 3: it and it served its purpose for me at that

1048
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 3: point in time when I did them. But I am

1049
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 3: somebody who gives one hundred and ten percent to everything

1050
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 3: I do, and my schedule is just crazy these days,

1051
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 3: and fitness competitions require a level of dedication and time

1052
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 3: commitment that I don't believe I have to give to

1053
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 3: that anymore. And I wouldn't be comfortable stepping on stage

1054
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 3: with anything less than one and ten percent.

1055
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 4: So it was fun.

1056
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 3: It was fun when I did it, But I think

1057
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,240
Speaker 3: I'm onto other things now. But I love seeing people

1058
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 3: use my programs.

1059
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 4: To help them prep.

1060
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: How's life now? Is your son ten and a half? Ten?

1061
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 4: Ten? Ten and a half? Yeah?

1062
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: How How's that?

1063
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 4: It's amazing?

1064
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 3: He's so much fun.

1065
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 4: He's such a ham He's my mini me.

1066
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 3: I finally understand what my dad meant when he would

1067
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,760
Speaker 3: tell me I was so peaceful when I slept because

1068
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 3: my son is the ball of energy from the minute

1069
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 3: he wakes up until the minute he goes to sleep

1070
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 3: that finally, when he falls asleep, I'm like, oh my god,

1071
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 3: thank you. Yes, Mommy's gonna sit here and just put

1072
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 3: her feet up for a second.

1073
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 4: Now. He's so much fun.

1074
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 3: He's such a happy, easy kid. Like he's into parkour

1075
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 3: and skateboarding and baseball and swimming. And he actually had

1076
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 3: his first audition over the weekend and he got a callback.

1077
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: So what's he auditioning for.

1078
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 3: He was auditioning for something for Disney. Oh, so he's

1079
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 3: super excited. But then I was talking to him on

1080
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 3: the way here actually, and he's super nervous.

1081
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:24,879
Speaker 1: Oh.

1082
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 2: He's like, like, you got it, You're fine.

1083
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 4: But it's so fun.

1084
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 3: It's so fun to see that side of him because

1085
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 3: I remember as a kid wanting to do all those things,

1086
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 3: and I lived in Ohio. I didn't have that opportunity.

1087
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,280
Speaker 3: So it's really cool to get to give him opportunities

1088
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 3: that I didn't get to have it, even though I

1089
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 3: wanted him as a kid.

1090
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 2: You have the opportunity right now. Looking back on Autumn,

1091
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 2: during her total moment, she is thinking she wants to

1092
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 2: be a dancer. She's dealing with this man who's not

1093
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 2: really treating her. The most fair, and she's really struggling
