10
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: I grew up believing I had to pursue this safe

Speaker 1: option and fit into a mold others had created for me.

12
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: But then I entered my corporate law job and I

13
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: realized that settling for a reality that did I didn't

14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,120

24
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: down with Natalie Ballely, who you may know on Instagram

00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,040

28
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: Nat tells us how she used to be a slave

29
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: to the cardio machine and how she now listens to

30
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: her body encourages others to do the same. We also

31
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,959

00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,880

33
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,280

00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: on how to stay motivated to exercise and eat well.

35
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: My favorite thing about chatting with Nat is her attitude

36
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: towards mental health and being more present. Before we get

49
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: I really want to start my own, but I haven't

50
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: ever done a podcast before, so this is a real

51
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: good and learning experience for me.

52
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, dude, you have to do it. Once

53
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: we get off the call, i'll give you some information

54
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: if you need anything in regards to starting. But it is,

55
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: it's been like one of my favorite things to do. Well,

56
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: I know you like, you know, all the social media

57
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: side and talking about topics you're passionate about and all

58
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff, and yeah, it's been one of

59
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: my favorite like projects to date.

60
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: That would be so fantastic because I feel like I

61
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: have so much to say and I would rather speak

62
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: it than write it. So I feel like this medium

63
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: of social media is very much calling my name.

64
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

65
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: See, I'm the exact same I tried to do like

66
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: the blogging thing, and I have blogs my website and

67
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I'm not the best writer, Like I

68
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: don't write like beautifully if that makes sense. And so yeah,

69
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: this form of like just speaking has just seen. Yeah,

70
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: definitely get onto it. Okay, well let's get into the show.

71
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: So something I ask all my guests in this current

72
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: season is what season are you in? And so basically

73
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: what I mean by this is just what season are

74
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: you prioritizing right now?

75
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: So I just graduated college, which was a huge life

76
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: change for me, and moving forward, I'm really just learning

77
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: to listen to what my heart and soul are telling

78
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: me to keep developing my character and life that I

79
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: want to pursue, and like, I just really would like

80
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: to work for myself in the future, not somebody who

81
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 2: really wants a nine to five. So I'm really just

82
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: trying to figure out what exactly that looks like for me,

83
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: and I'm doing my best to learn and listen to

84
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: my intuition. I initially thought that I'd be going to

85
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: grad school at this point in my life, but obviously,

86
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: I've decided not to do that and continue to pursue

87
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: social media fitness coaching and just kind of see where

88
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 2: that takes me. And I'm also trying not to set

89
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 2: too many expectations for myself because i feel like this

90
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: is the perfect time in my life for a lot

91
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: of self exploration and development, and I'm just doing my

92
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: best to lean into whatever that is, even if it

93
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: is really uncomfortable and unfamiliar, which so far it very

94
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: much has been.

95
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: That is amazing. That's I think that's one of the

96
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: best answers I've ever had. That is awesome. You really

97
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: summed that up too, I know. So you just you

98
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: did just graduate and know you are having a little

99
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: break and going off and seeing some places and giving

100
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: yourself time, which I absolutely love because I really feel

101
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: like there's kind of this thing that people think once

102
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: they graduate, it's like this rush to the next step.

103
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: If that makes sense.

104
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

105
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I love what you're doing. For the listeners

106
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: who aren't familiar with you, can you give us us

107
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: quick snapshot on who Nat is?

108
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

109
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: So, I'm born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. I just

110
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: graduated from Ohio State with a degree and health science,

111
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: and as far as social media and all of that,

112
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: I posted a lot of workouts online. I am also

113
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: a jym Shark athlete and I work with a few

114
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: other brands, but I'm really just passionate about sharing workouts

115
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: and a lot of mental health tips. I've been dealing

116
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: with a lot of mental health issues and just like

117
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,559
Speaker 2: learning how to be more proactive with those since getting

118
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: into college, and I'm just really passionate about helping other

119
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: people learn that they don't have to feel like that

120
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: and that there are tools and resources out there for

121
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: you to make your mind a better place to be.

122
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: I love that, and we're going to get in that

123
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: later in the show, but let's just touch on first.

124
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: So you did say you've just finished your nutrition and

125
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: science degree and to our gymshock athlete, and that's actually

126
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: how I found that online. I found you through the

127
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: gym shack page and I was like, who is this?

128
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: And then like, honestly, since I started following you, I

129
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: just like fell in love with your personality and I

130
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: was like, I really like this person and I don't

131
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: even know her.

132
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: So much.

133
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: I feel the exactly way, and I'm like pretty sure

134
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: that I found you through the gym Shark page, either

135
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 2: gym Shark page or YouTube. I cannot remember which, but

136
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: it was a little bit earlier this year or maybe

137
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: the end of twenty nineteen, and I just love all

138
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: of your posts and obviously this podcast.

139
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: I really appreciate that. Yeah, so you are a gym

140
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: shock athlete. Can you tell us a little bit about

141
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: your fitness and health journey.

142
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

143
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: So when I was younger, I was very much under

144
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: the impression that because I was a female, the only

145
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: way that I could really work out or lose weight

146
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: was a lot of cardio, and I tortured myself on

147
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: the elliptical and treadmill for years with like little to

148
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: no progress. And actually, growing up, my dad was a

149
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: bodybuilder and we always had like a full gym in

150
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: my basement, so I would watch him lift, and the

151
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: older I got, the more interested I was in that.

152
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: And I did play sports, but I was never like

153
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: the most athletic, but I always loved like the team

154
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: workout aspect of it and just working out, whether it

155
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: was body weight or weightlifting. And then when I went

156
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: to college, which like I said, I was starting to

157
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: deal with a lot of mental health issues that I

158
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: do think that I had before, but was never really

159
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: aware of them when I was younger, and just never

160
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: really found a friend group that I liked in school.

161
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: So I turned to the gym and just spent a

162
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: lot of time there and then started posting my workouts

163
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: online and it kind of just went from there. But yeah,

164
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: I was a slave to the cardio machines for sure,

165
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: and just really don't want other people to feel like

166
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: they have to do that to be into fitness or

167
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: lose weight or just be healthy in general.

168
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 1: I have like a very very similar sort of backstory

169
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: with you. Sorry, I have a very similar backstory to

170
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: you two with my fitness and health journey. And can

171
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: you just go in a little bit more about your

172
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: philosophy behind fitness and health. Like you said, you're not

173
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: interested in it being all cardio and you're not interested

174
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: in fad diets. I know that for a fact from

175
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: your content. So what does your relationship with fitness and

176
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: health look like right now?

177
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

178
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely so. Honestly, it is really evolving at this point

179
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: in my life. Before I was pretty much strictly in

180
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: the weight room, just lifting weights because I loved it

181
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: so much. But the more time goes on, the less

182
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 2: and less that appeals to me just doing that by itself.

183
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 2: I've recently, within the past couple of years, really fallen

184
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: in love with yoga, and the more I do it,

185
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 2: the more I experience the benefits and just cannot say.

186
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 3: Better hold on that does not make sense.

187
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: The more I do it, the more I love it,

188
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 2: And I'm just really seeing benefits in all aspects of

189
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: my life there. And I just want to encourage other

190
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: people to move their body in a way that feels

191
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 2: good for them, not necessarily what they're seeing online from

192
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: some girl that they really enjoy following. I know that's

193
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: a really easy trap to fall into, but I just

194
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 2: want to encourage others and also just really encourage myself

195
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: to find what work for me, because our lives are

196
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: always changing, which means our balance and the way we

197
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: move our bodies should be changing with that. So I

198
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,599
Speaker 2: guess that's just kind of my philosophy. Don't try to

199
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: stick to one thing, tried new things and just see

200
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 2: how your body responds, and it should be a way

201
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: to express and develop yourself in a way that you

202
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 2: wouldn't have been able to otherwise.

203
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: I love that and what did you find? So when

204
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: you kind of stopped doing the cardio and you found

205
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: the love of weight training, can you sort of explain

206
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: to the audience what are the benefits of weight training?

207
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

208
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely, definitely for newbelifters. I experienced this. A lot of

209
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: my clients experience this. Friends, if you're a newbelifter, you're

210
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 2: definitely going to lose some weight, which is what most

211
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 2: of us are trying to strive for with the whole

212
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: cardio machine thing. And obviously you're increasing your muscle mass,

213
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: which allows you to eat more because the common misconception

214
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: that muscle weighs less than fat.

215
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 3: Or weighs more than fat. I don't even know what

216
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 3: it is.

217
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 2: That makes no sense to me, because a pound is

218
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: a pound, is a pounds a pound, so that's not

219
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: really a thing. But the more muscle mass you have,

220
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: the more calories your body burns at rest. So it's

221
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: a great way to increase your metabolism and start eating more,

222
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: which was definitely a benefit for me. I felt like

223
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: I was always trying to do cardio and minimize the

224
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: amount of food I was eating, and when I first

225
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: started tracking my macros in lifting weights, I was honestly

226
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: surprised how much I could eat while still losing weight

227
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: over time. And then obviously you're developing strength, so you'll

228
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 2: have you'll be stronger and more functional for your daily activities,

229
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: and I find that my energy levels are much higher.

230
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: And just seeing your body change over time, like those

231
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: results just give you such a self confidence that really

232
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: just keeps you going. It really is motivating to see

233
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: your body change with all the things that you're doing.

234
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: I love that, and you're so right. I think when

235
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: I figured out like all those things that you said

236
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: with weight training, I was like, oh my god, what

237
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: have I been doing for the last couple of years.

238
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: So thank you for sharing that. Yeah, and I did

239
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: just want to touch on quickly before we move on

240
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: to the diet sort of side of things. I completely

241
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: agree what you said about not kind of getting too

242
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: stuck in the you know, what sort of exercise you

243
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: should be doing, because I got really cut up in

244
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: the like you, it was like all cardio and like

245
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: losing weight exercises, and then I started weight training. But

246
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: then I also got stuck in weight training where I

247
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: was like, I can't do anything else because weight training

248
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: is the superior exercise, whereas now it's like sometimes I

249
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: like doing body weight, sometimes I like lifting heavy, and

250
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: sometimes I like doing cardio, and it really sort of

251
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: depends on my energy levels and my mood and how

252
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: my body's feeling, rather than feeling like I have to

253
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: do something specifically.

254
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

255
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And that is something that definitely has taken me

256
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: a lot of time to learn, and I think I'm

257
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 2: still learning that because there are days where I'm like

258
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: I need to be doing this and my boy, You're like, no, stop,

259
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: don't do that. So yeah, that's definitely an ongoing battle

260
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: for me, but I can definitely relate.

261
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. And like you said, like it's not

262
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: an end destination, it's something we are constantly evolving and

263
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: learning and our body is constantly changing. So I wanted yeah, absolutely, sorry,

264
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: I want to switch gears and chat about the sort

265
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: of diet side of things before we get on into

266
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: sort of non related fitness and health questions. But how

267
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: can diet complement your training? So for example, we go

268
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: through you know, bulking, and what diet would complement this

269
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: if that makes sense.

270
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely So, regardless of what your goals are, diet

271
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 2: entering definitely go hand in hand. But bulking is kind

272
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,359
Speaker 2: of the idea of adding mass to your body, preferably

273
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:58,239
Speaker 2: muscle mass, but fat gain is inevitable within that process.

274
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 2: But a bulking diet general looks like just increasing your

275
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: calories slowly over time. That doesn't mean wake up one

276
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: morning and eight two thousand calories more than you did

277
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: the day before for the next couple months. You want

278
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: to slowly increase it over time, like one hundred to

279
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: two hundred calories a week for ideally like four to

280
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: nine months, depending on how long of a bulking season

281
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: you want to be in. The longer you are, obviously,

282
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: the more time your body has to develop that mass

283
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: while applying progressive overload into the gym. So I guess

284
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: that's kind of where the training aspect comes into this.

285
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: Progressive overload basically just means that you are increasing the

286
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: volume of what you're lifting over time, so sets weights

287
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: or sets reps and weight, But most of your calorie

288
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: increase should be coming from carbs to give your body

289
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: that extra energy it needs to grow. And then I

290
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: kind of within this got really stuck in. Oh, I

291
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: have to hit this macro like I have to hit

292
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: these numbers every single day, or I'm not going to

293
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: see progress. You need to be patient with your body

294
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: and listen to what it's telling you, because sometimes it's

295
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: telling you to stop or slow down or speed up,

296
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: like it wants more food. So just kind of being

297
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: a little bit more intuitive, I think you can intuitively

298
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: eat while also tracking macros.

299
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 3: It's kind of a what's the right word.

300
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: It's kind of a challenge to balance, but over time

301
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: it gets easier to just listen to your body and

302
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: figure out how to respond accordingly.

303
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: And sir, I know that you're an intuitive eater like me,

304
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: How did you sort of and I know you, like

305
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: you said you did do the macros and you still

306
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: kind of go hand in hand. How did you discover

307
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: intuitive eating? And what does that sort of approach look

308
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: like for you?

309
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: So I guess a couple years ago, this really started

310
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: to blow up all over the internet and I would

311
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: see videos on YouTube or like influencers that I followed

312
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: talking about intuitive eating and I'm like, that kind of

313
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: sounds dumb, Like they were like, oh, you just eat

314
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: when you're hungry, Like, yeah, no, dull, you eat when

315
00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: you're hungry. But over this past winter, I was really

316
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 2: just feeling like tracking macros was a chore, And a

317
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: little back story on that. I've been tracking macros for

318
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: roughly six years on and off pretty consistently, so I

319
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: can kind of look at a plate of food and

320
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: know what I'm about to start eating. But this past

321
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: winter it really just started to feel like a chore

322
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: as opposed to something I really wanted to do to

323
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: meet my goals. So I decided that intuitive eating would

324
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: be the best way to continue to nourish my body

325
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: with healthy foods without feeling tied to constantly like putting

326
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: numbers into my phone. And also, I felt like at

327
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: the time that I decided I wanted to start stop

328
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: tracking macros, I was attempting to bulk and I literally

329
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: just felt like I was force feeding myself and it

330
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: was really unenjoyable and I was super sluggish and just

331
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 2: not feeling my best. So I think that was also

332
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: like one of those things where you kind of have

333
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: to listen to your body and it's telling you to

334
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: stop doing that. And it was a bit of a

335
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: difficult transition at first because I was like, Ooh, I

336
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: don't have to track my macros. I can just eat

337
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: like crap. But after a few weeks, I became a

338
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 2: little bit more aware that that was not making me

339
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: feel very good. And it really just came down to

340
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 2: listening to my body telling me it was time to eat.

341
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: And then also another thing that I learned and I'm

342
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: still really working on, is remaining mindful after I've eaten

343
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: a meal to see if what I just actually energized

344
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: me and made me feel better or if it really

345
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 2: just made me feel more sluggish, and then adjusting my

346
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 2: meal portions, ingredients or just like what I'm actually eating

347
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 2: based on how my body is responding to what I'm eating.

348
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 2: But it's definitely something I'm still learning and working.

349
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: On one hundred percent. And like we were kind of

350
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: saying with the training thing, it is sort of this

351
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: thing that evolves and you have to keep listening to

352
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: your body and keep changing things. But I love as

353
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: sort of your approach and what you're doing, just how

354
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: you're listening to your body. I wanted to ask you, so,

355
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: what would your advice be to I guess the newbie

356
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: who you know, they want to start training, maybe they

357
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: want to start weight training, maybe they you know, have

358
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: some body sort of goals. What would your advice be

359
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: to the new bee who is prioritizing their health and fitness.

360
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, so.

361
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: I would say my first and biggest tip would be

362
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: follow people online who post workouts, because I'm on my

363
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: phone all day long. If it's on my feed, I'm

364
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 2: going to be paying attention to it. So find a

365
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 2: couple people that you really like and that their goals

366
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: kind of align with yours. You can start following somebody

367
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: of their workouts. And when you're a newbie, you don't

368
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 2: really need to be on like a strict program to

369
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: see legitimate results. So just setting goals that are realistic

370
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: to you. I know that that is something that I

371
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: struggle with. I always set my expectations so high, and

372
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: when I fall short, I'm so disappointed. So start small.

373
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: Just make little changes. Start working out one or two

374
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: days a week. Try to change one meal up, eat

375
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: a little bit healthier, have some more vegetables. That is

376
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 2: something I need to tell myself. Drink some more water,

377
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: and a great way to if you're really not in

378
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 2: the at all or doing much physical activity, a great

379
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 2: way to just start or spark some weight loss would

380
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 2: be go on a walk. Try to hit a step

381
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 2: goal every single day. Or yeah, just make small little goals.

382
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: Don't try to like overhaul your whole life and stop

383
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 2: eating junk food and going to the gym twice a day,

384
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: seven days a week, like it's really just going to

385
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 2: make you fall flat on your face. Start small and

386
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,479
Speaker 2: make realistic changes in your life, and over time they

387
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: really do add up and you'll be well on your

388
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: way to a healthy lifestyle.

424
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: go towards the more of the mindset conversation of this podcast.

425
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: And I know we already touched on seasons at the start,

426
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: but I want to chat to you about a post

427
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: you made recently. So you said that you're in a

428
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: season of learning to give yourself a break, cannot be

429
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: so focused of checking everything off your to do list.

430
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 1: And in that post, you also said that you know

431
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: you often feel pressure to be doing more and posting

432
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: more and sharing more, and you want to start, you know,

433
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: being and focus less on doing. Can you kind of

434
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit more about this post and

435
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: what it kind of feels like for you at the moment.

436
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

437
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: Absolutely, So, Like I said, I just graduated college, so

438
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: I'm going from a long to do list that is

439
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 2: being assigned to me by my teachers to pretty much nothing.

440
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 2: And I'm also on a road trip right now, so

441
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 2: that has been super super helpful for me to stay

442
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 2: off my phone because I don't really have service and

443
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 2: I'm less interested in what's going on on social media

444
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 2: when I'm surrounded by all this beautiful scenery. But in

445
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: a normal day in my life, it really just means

446
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: minimizing my to do list. Instead of five to six things,

447
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,239
Speaker 2: pick three to four that are a little bit more

448
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: enjoyable to me. And also something that really has been

449
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: helping me is giving myself time for silence and solitude

450
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: every single day, even if I'm not meditating, even if

451
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: I'm just like cleaning my room. I do have roommates

452
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: back at school, so just not being in their presence

453
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 2: really helps me. And also paying less attention to what

454
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: other people are sharing on social media. It is really

455
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: easy for me to fall into the trap of getting

456
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: caught up in somebody else's life and what they're achieving

457
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: at the moment, and it's really hard for me to

458
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: come back from that kind of negative self talk that

459
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 2: I'm not doing as much or as well as somebody else,

460
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: and just kind of being mindful about what media I'm

461
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: consuming and how it makes me feel, whether it's social

462
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: media or news or.

463
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 3: Anything like that.

464
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 2: Just really being more mindful about my surroundings and how

465
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 2: they make me feel.

466
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: And it's interesting because I really resonated with that post,

467
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: and I know that in a different post you were

468
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: kind of chatting to your followers and you were just

469
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: explaining that you know, you have taken some time away

470
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: and you really appreciate the patience for you know, posting

471
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: lists and posting less workouts and whatnot. And I wanted

472
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: to sort of ask you, like, do you often feel

473
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: feel a pressure that? And it's funny because I resonate

474
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: with this and I feel the same. And it's not

475
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: like there's some real written that says we have to

476
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: post two workouts a week or this and that and whatnot.

477
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: But do you feel a pressure to be you know,

478
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: posting content and keeping up with other people who are

479
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: posting sorry content and how do you sort of cope

480
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: with that?

481
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

482
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: I absolutely do. It is really hard for me. I

483
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: honestly use the mute button on Instagram so much when

484
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: somebody else has post oping overwhelming me. And it's not

485
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: in a way that I'm like, ooh, I don't like

486
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: that person, They're bothering me. It's just like, okay, that

487
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 2: is making me not feel really good in my head

488
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 2: right now and really making me feel pressured for something

489
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 2: that I should not feel pressured to do. But I

490
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: definitely feel that a lot. And also just the fact

491
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 2: that people want to follow my life and give me

492
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 2: their time of day and their support and encourage me,

493
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 2: and it really makes me want to provide something that

494
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 2: is useful to them. And so when i'm not I

495
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 2: always want to express the fact that I'm grateful that

496
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 2: people are still sticking around and watching my stuff and

497
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: sending me really nice messages.

498
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: But it can be really hard.

499
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying I encourage you to unfollow or

500
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 2: mute people that you're friends with, but sometimes, like even

501
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 2: people that I keep up with regularly, when I see

502
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 2: their posts constantly all the time, it really gets me

503
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: going in my head that I'm not doing enough, or

504
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: I'm not trying hard enough, or they're doing better than me,

505
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 2: and I kind of make it like this competition in

506
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 2: my head, even though it really isn't. Social media is

507
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 2: really hard because it's all via or most of it

508
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 2: is via a phone screen. Like the people that I follow,

509
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: I've met a handful of them in real life, maybe

510
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: once or twice, but we're not like best friends that

511
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 2: I see every single day, and I can talk about

512
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 2: the fact that their posts are kind of triggering me

513
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 2: to do or feel some type of way. So I

514
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: really just try to minimize the amount of interaction I

515
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: have on social media, not in a mean way, like

516
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to bash on, but it is something

517
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 2: that I really have to be mindful of. I wish

518
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 2: it wasn't it didn't affect me so much, but it

519
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 2: really does. So it's something that I'm just again becoming

520
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 2: more mindful over time and making sure that I'm not

521
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: viewing things that really put me in a bad headspace.

522
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: And I could not agree enough and like you said,

523
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: like it's not like this nasty thing where you're like,

524
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,959
Speaker 1: oh my god, I can't stand this person's content, but

525
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: it is one hundred percent. And I definitely encourage the

526
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: audience if you know something is happening on social media

527
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: where it kind of makes you feel like crap, like

528
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: you just like you're like, oh like that content, just

529
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: like it does not have a positive effect on me,

530
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: that you do go and be proactive and mute them.

531
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: And I think also sometimes for me, it's like almost

532
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 1: a season I'm in where I'm like, oh, I just

533
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: I can't consume this content right now, Like I will,

534
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: you know, go and unmute this person because I do

535
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: enjoy them as a person, but just right now I

536
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: need to be almost like selfish and do what's best

537
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: for me.

538
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

539
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that is something I am constantly working on and

540
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 2: really have become a lot more aware of in the

541
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 2: past like six months to a year. Just because I

542
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 2: enjoy somebody as a person doesn't mean I always need

543
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 2: to be consuming what they're putting online because it can

544
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: be a little bit triggering for me. Not even in

545
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: terms of like, oh that's making me anxious, it's just like, oh,

546
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 2: my gosh, they're doing way better than me, or they're

547
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: doing more than me and I'm behind, when really you're

548
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 2: not nobody. You're you should be working to better yourself,

549
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 2: not be better than somebody else.

550
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: Yes, And there's like there's no timelines, Like I said,

551
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: it's not like there's this, you know of imaginary rule

552
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: of having to post this amount of time or having

553
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,719
Speaker 1: to do this before a certain age or all that

554
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: sort of thing. It's like unrealistic expectations that we put

555
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: on ourselves which we then can take off ourselves.

556
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and that is something that I really get caught

557
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: up in the age thing because my twenty second birthday

558
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 2: is later this week, and I look at people who

559
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: are like in their late twenties, early thirties that are

560
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 2: so successful and doing so well and like something that

561
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 2: I would really like to be in their position. And

562
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, they're way ahead of the game,

563
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: like they've really got this whole thing down.

564
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 3: And I'm like, okay, yeah, but they're.

565
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: Also like five to ten years older than me, Like

566
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 2: this is ridiculous. I need to calm down.

567
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: It's so funny. I feel the exact same way. So

568
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: thank you for touching on that. I want to chat

569
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 1: a little bit more about your mental health. So you

570
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: did sort of chat about at the start that this

571
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: has been a process and you have had mental health

572
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: issues that you have been dealing with. I can you

573
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: sort of go into that if you feel comfortable and

574
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: explain what your relationship with your mental health looks like.

575
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

576
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely. So when I went away to college, I actually

577
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 2: went to a different university my freshman year than Ohio State,

578
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: and I really loved my roommate, but I did not

579
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: vibe with a lot of the people at that school,

580
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: and it was really weird for me because I felt

581
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: like my whole life I was a very much a

582
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: people person and always had like a big friend group

583
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 2: and a lot of friends around me, and so I

584
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 2: was very lonely, and like I said, I was pretty

585
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 2: far away from home. I had just started dating my

586
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: current boyfriend and we were four and a half hours away,

587
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: so I just felt really isolated and alone. And that's

588
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: when my anxiety and depression really kicked in. And for

589
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 2: that entire freshman year of college, I didn't even realize

590
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: I was really dealing with any mental health issues. I

591
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: just thought I was crazy. I thought I was hormonal.

592
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 2: I didn't know what was wrong with me. But I

593
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: ended up transferring schools, and I thought that that was

594
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: really just going to make all my problems go away,

595
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 2: like I was going to magically become friends with everybody

596
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 2: that I came in contact with, and I was going

597
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: to be all happy and dandy. And I got there,

598
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 2: and I did make a few friends, but not too many.

599
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: And then second semester of my sophomore year of college,

600
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: I had like a full blown panic attack when my

601
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: dad dropped me off at school and I did not

602
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: know what was happening. I was like, I'm going crazy,

603
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 2: Like somebody needs to take me to the mental hospital.

604
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on.

605
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: And so my roommates, who both had some mental health

606
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: issues as well. Were like, it's okay, Everything's going.

607
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 3: To be fine.

608
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: And I ended up going to the like student Services

609
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: for mental health and started seeing a therapist, and that

610
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: was probably the biggest help for me in terms of

611
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: like getting the ball rolling with me understanding that I

612
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 2: really was experiencing anxiety and depression. And then from there

613
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, fix me. I want to go

614
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: in here and give me some medicine and fix me up, and.

615
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 3: I'll be on my way.

616
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: And it was not long after that that I realized

617
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: that's not really how this all works. And once I

618
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: realized that, I kind of accepted it and was like, Okay,

619
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: I'm really going to make this my mission to do

620
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: the things that I need to do to better myself.

621
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: And once I started doing the little things, I really

622
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: did start to see improvements. And I was like, well, geez,

623
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: I have this platform and people are listening to me.

624
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 2: This is a really important thing that I think a

625
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 2: lot of other people are experiencing and I want to

626
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 2: talk about because I have the personal experience with it,

627
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: and I'm starting to learn and do things that are

628
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 2: making me feel better.

629
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: That's amazing and It's funny because when you were chatting

630
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: about your experience, I just resonate with that so much.

631
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: And specifically when you said how you started seeing the

632
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: psychologist and you were like, just fix me. I get

633
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: I have a problem just fixing, because I was the

634
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: exact same way, and I was like, I went and

635
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: saw my psychologist, and I remember the first couple of sessions,

636
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: I was almost like annoyed because I was like, we're

637
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: not getting anywhere. This is not like happening fast enough,

638
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: which is just and I I came to realize, much

639
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: like you, that it's like it takes time and it's

640
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: not this quick fix. And it's also being okay with that,

641
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: I think because for a long time I was like, Yep,

642
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: if there's a problem, fix it onto the next thing.

643
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: If that makes.

644
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: Sense, Yeah, absolutely.

645
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 2: And it's also really opened my eyes to the fact

646
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: that most other people are experiencing this on some level

647
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: and like not necessarily that it's your job to fix them,

648
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: but just being aware of that and other people makes

649
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: my interactions and my relationships so much healthier because I'm

650
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 2: so much less harsh, like, oh, that person just said

651
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: something that really.

652
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 3: Ticked me off, and blah blah blah.

653
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: It's like, Okay, well they've got their own stuff going

654
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 2: on inside of their head, and so do I, and

655
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 2: I need to be respectful of that if I want

656
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: them to be respectful of that towards me.

657
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: I love that and that, Yes, it's so true because

658
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: like you said that most people are going through not

659
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: necessarily something similar, but mental health issues in general. And

660
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: so I love that you did decide to share with

661
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: your audience, and that's something similar that I try to do,

662
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: Like when I do have my psychologists appointment, Like I'll

663
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: often just like pop on my stories and be like, hey,

664
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: going to scenes going to see the psychologist, just because

665
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: I think there can be a lot of stigma, and

666
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: I think even growing up, I had a lot of

667
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: like I guess, like negative feelings. Like in my family,

668
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: no one really talked about mental health, and if someone

669
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, was seeing a psychologist, it was almost seen

670
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: as like this bad thing and they were like broken,

671
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: And so I had a lot of fear about getting help.

672
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: But then once I did get help and realized that

673
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: like it wasn't a big deal and it was so

674
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: healthy and lots of people do it. Yeah, A big

675
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: focus of mine is sort of breaking that stigma because yeah,

676
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: like you said, like, we're all going through stuff, and

677
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,719
Speaker 1: I think we go through seasons where it is worse

678
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: than other.

679
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agree. And I guess that going back

680
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 2: to what I was saying earlier, like my freshman year,

681
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: I didn't really understand what was going on. That probably

682
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 2: sounds dumb to a lot of people, And honestly, I

683
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 2: look back and I'm like, how did I not realize that?

684
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 2: But growing up, nobody talked to me about that stuff,

685
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 2: Like if I thought if you were depressed, you were suicidal,

686
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: Like there was no like you're just moderately. You're having

687
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: a hard time grasping what's going on in your life

688
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 2: right now. And honestly, the older I get, the more

689
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 2: I realize there is not a single person I know

690
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 2: that could not benefit from seeing a therapist, Like, not

691
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: one person big.

692
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 3: Or in your life. I often.

693
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 2: It's so wild, Like now that I go, I'm like,

694
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 2: and it's not like I'm trying to force other people

695
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: into it, but I'm like, Wow, you could really benefit

696
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 2: from a therapist right now.

697
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. I feel the exact same way. Do

698
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: you want to just touch on what has helped you

699
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: with coping with your anxiety and depression? Do you have

700
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: any tips for the audience.

701
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I would definitely say therapy was the big

702
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: push I needed to see that I was dealing with

703
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 2: a lot of these mental health issues. And then once

704
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 2: I kind of accepted that I was similar to you,

705
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 2: where like the first couple sessions, I'm like, all right, lady,

706
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 2: fix me up, let's go. I want to get out

707
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 2: of here. But once I kind of realized this was

708
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 2: going to be a long term life thing, it really

709
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 2: allowed me to use the new techniques that they were

710
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 2: teaching me, like new techniques and tools to manage what

711
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: I'm feeling. But I would say that my daily practices

712
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 2: have probably made the biggest impact. Meditation was really a

713
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 2: struggle struggle for me at first, but it's now one

714
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 2: of the first things I do when I start to

715
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: feel that chaotic energy in my mind and body that

716
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: I identify as my anxiety. And I also think journaling

717
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 2: has been so beneficial for me to work through some

718
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 2: of the negative narratives I have in my head about

719
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 2: myself and the world and just like what's going on

720
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 2: in my day.

721
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 3: I try to journal every day.

722
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say that that always happens, but

723
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 2: for the most part, I do. But it's a really

724
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 2: great way for me to just check in with how

725
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 2: I'm feeling and what's going on in my head, because

726
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: a lot of the times I'm just so go, go, go,

727
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 2: go go, especially when I was in school, I didn't

728
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 2: really stop to pause and ask myself, like, how are

729
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 2: you doing today? Are you okay? Or do we need

730
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 2: to slow this down and start over? But yeah, if

731
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: I'm anxious, journaling really helps me work through the issue

732
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 2: at hand and shows me that it's either not as

733
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 2: dramatic or big of a deal as I am making

734
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 2: it out to be in my mind.

735
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: Yes, I love that and such good tips, And I

736
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: love what you kind of said about the routines because

737
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: I'm much the same where I was in a sort

738
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: of severe state. The therapy was definitely needed for me,

739
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: but I find that my daily rituals are almost like

740
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: proactive in helping me sort of not get to that point.

741
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: I still see a psychologist every second week, but like, yeah,

742
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: my daily meditation and journaling, it's almost like instead of

743
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: waiting until I feel so anxious and then I go

744
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: and do those things. I'll do those things and it

745
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: sort of yeah, like is proactive about helping my anxiety.

746
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw this tweet one time that was like

747
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 2: eighty percent of the work for your mental health is

748
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 2: outside of the therapist office. Like, yes, that is a

749
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: great thing to do, and they are professionals and they're

750
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 2: going to show you how to better yourself. But it's

751
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: not like they're just going to give you a band

752
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: aid and slap it on and you're going to walk

753
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 2: out fine. It's something that you really need to practice

754
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 2: yourself and be disciplined in and it is hard to do,

755
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 2: but just kind of like the fitness thing, make small

756
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 2: little changes. Try to meditate for like three to five

757
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 2: minutes a day, or journal in the morning for two

758
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 2: minutes about how you're feeling or how you want your

759
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 2: day to go or something that is upsetting you. And

760
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 2: it's kind of like it's not one size fits all

761
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 2: or there's not one way to do it, Like there's

762
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 2: not just one journal prompt you have to use forever,

763
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 2: or there's not one form of meditation that.

764
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 3: You have to use forever.

765
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 2: It's kind of always evolving based on your needs and

766
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 2: the more that you do those things. The more in

767
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 2: tune with your body you're going to be, the more mindful,

768
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 2: and the more you're going to be able to like

769
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 2: make those changes that are necessary for whatever season you're

770
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 2: moving into.

771
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: Yes, that was perfect. Could not agree more. One of

772
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: my lasts I wanted to chat to you about is

773
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: I spiritual? And if you are, can you tell us

774
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: a little bit about it? And this is it's funny.

775
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: I popped this in because like, I don't usually you know,

776
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: ask fee for this, but I had this like feeling

777
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: from your content that you almost at the beginning or

778
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: I don't know, do you want to touch on that?

779
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

780
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 2: So I grew up going to church every single Sunday.

781
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 2: I was raised Lutheran. My mom would always take us

782
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: to church, and I just kind of sat there and

783
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 2: I was like, when is this.

784
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 3: Going to be over?

785
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 2: Like I am not really resonating with anything this guy

786
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 2: is saying. And I'm not hating on anybody who's religious,

787
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: but that is just not something that ever really resonated

788
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 2: with me. So once I graduated high school, we my

789
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 2: mom would still go to church, but she wasn't like

790
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 2: waking me up on Sunday mornings to really go. So

791
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 2: I kind of just straight away from it and I

792
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 2: didn't really think about it. And the more into my

793
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 2: mental health journey I got, the more I realized, like, wait,

794
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 2: this is a thing, just maybe not necessarily the way

795
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: I was being taught. And last summer I went through

796
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: a pretty big I would consider my first spiritual awakening,

797
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 2: and honestly, as like enlightening as that sounds, it was

798
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 2: really rough, Like it was a really harsh reality for

799
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 2: me to wake up to and just seeing how all

800
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 2: of the things in my life, the things that I

801
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 2: don't even really think about, how they affect me at

802
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: a mental, physical, and spiritual level. So yeah, it's something

803
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 2: that I'm really working on. I would say last summer

804
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 2: was my first like big eye opening experience to that,

805
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 2: and it lasted probably into like the middle of the fall,

806
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 2: and then this winter. It's just kind of like learning

807
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 2: how to integrate all of those things into my life.

808
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 2: And I think that I may be on the cusp

809
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 2: of another just with all of the changes in my

810
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 2: life going on. Once I'm home from this road trip,

811
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 2: I'm moving away from school and hopefully I was actually

812
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: just looking at apartments today, so hopefully moving into my

813
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 2: first apartment by myself, and like, I really think I

814
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: just need that energy being alone and figuring out who

815
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 2: I am, what I want to do, And honestly, having

816
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 2: an Instagram platform makes it almost easier for me because

817
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: I love talking and sharing with other people like that

818
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 2: is really therapeutic for me. So I really just like

819
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 2: sharing and encouraging others to explore those things within themselves.

820
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: I love that. And do you feel comfortable sort of sharing?

821
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: You did mention your spiritual awakening, Like what did that

822
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: look like for you?

823
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty It was a very rude awakening,

824
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: I would say, just realizing that like my little lazy

825
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 2: habits were really just not serving me, and just honestly

826
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: just coming to the realization that like I am responsible

827
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 2: for that. It's nobody else's responsibility to tell myself to

828
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 2: be better or do better or try harder or take

829
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 2: initiative to do this or the other thing. And yeah,

830
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 2: that was a really harsh reality because I would consider

831
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 2: myself a fairly privileged child, Like my childhood was not

832
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: really in terms of other people's lives, so it kind

833
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 2: of I'm not saying that everything was handed to me

834
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 2: on a silver platter.

835
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 3: But I was kind of I grew up in a

836
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 3: little bit of a bubble.

837
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 2: So just realizing that, like I have to take the

838
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 2: own initiative and work for what I want to do,

839
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 2: and if I want my mental health to be better,

840
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 2: I have to put forth the effort every single day,

841
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 2: and also just becoming more aware of the like mind

842
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 2: body spirit connection that we all have.

843
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 3: And I saw this quote one time that was like,

844
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 3: you're not how does it go?

845
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 2: You are a spiritual being in a human body, like

846
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 2: you are taking human life on this planet, but at

847
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 2: your essence, you are a spiritual being. And I just

848
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 2: would never want to live my life not experiencing that

849
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 2: spiritual aspect that we all have as human beings, Like

850
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 2: we all have a soul, we all have a spirit,

851
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 2: And I just see so many people, specifically like older

852
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 2: adults in my life, just never tapping into that within themselves.

853
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 2: And like I said, it is not a pretty process,

854
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 2: Like there is a lot of ugliness to it in

855
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 2: facing those realities yourself.

856
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 3: But yeah, just the fact that that exists, I.

857
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 2: Don't know how you couldn't want to explore that and

858
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 2: learn more about yourself at that level. It is a

859
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 2: scary and weird thing, but once you start it is

860
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 2: kind of like an addicting process. You're like, oh my gosh,

861
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 2: this is so amazing. I'm learning so much about myself

862
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 2: and I can think freely and I don't have to

863
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 2: do what other people tell me to do. But you

864
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,240
Speaker 2: also have that responsibility to decide those things for yourself.

865
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: That is so interesting. I love that quote. When you

866
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: said it, I was like bit mind blowned there and

867
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: I could not agree more. I really love what you

868
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: said about Yeah, like if we all have this spiritual side,

869
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: like why wouldn't we want to explore it and uncover

870
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: it and evolve it.

871
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would literally be like you have a physical

872
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 2: body and you have your mind. It would be like

873
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 2: never using your physical body your whole life, lying in

874
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 2: a bed, Like why would you do that? Don't you

875
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 2: want to go out and exercise and move and experience

876
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 2: the world? That's kind of like the same thing. Don't

877
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 2: you want to exercise that spiritual essence in yourself and

878
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 2: just see the world in a new way. Like I said,

879
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to make it sound like this is

880
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 2: the most horrible thing that has ever happened to me,

881
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 2: because so much good has come out of it, and

882
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 2: I see the world and I'm much better and just

883
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 2: like a more broad perspective and it's always ever evolving.

884
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 2: But if I never would have exercised that, my worldview

885
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 2: would be so one dimensional. Yeah, there's just so much

886
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 2: information out there that I feel like we're never taught

887
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 2: in school and that really we all have the capabilities

888
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 2: of experiencing and learning and growing from It's like, why

889
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,959
Speaker 2: would you not do that? I guess because most people

890
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 2: don't even realize that that's even an option, which is

891
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 2: what I want to share on social media, like, hey guys,

892
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 2: you don't have to feel sad all the time, or

893
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 2: you don't have to feel like your life is just

894
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: like go to work, get a job, have kids, then retire.

895
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 2: Like there's so much more to it than that, and

896
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 2: I just wish that more people would understand that.

897
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: I love that. That is awesome. Well, thank you for

898
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: chatting a bit about that. Before we wrap up the interview,

899
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: I do have one last question. But before that last question,

900
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: I did want to ask you, so, what are your

901
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: next steps now that you've graduated? So you did just

902
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: mention you're hopefully going to get an apartment to yourself.

903
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: Is there anything else that we can have a sneak

904
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: peek about.

905
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 2: I'm currently on a road trip and then when i

906
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 2: return home at the beginning of July, apartment hunting for

907
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 2: real starts, and I'll be super close to my parents

908
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 2: in my hometown, which is also where my boyfriend is

909
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 2: finishing up college and we've been long distance for four

910
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 2: years now, so I'm so excited about that. But personally,

911
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to continue to build my online coaching business,

912
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 2: opening up one on one spots and then continuing to

913
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 2: work on different fitness guides, and then I'm also going

914
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 2: to start working towards my yoga teacher certification, and then,

915
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 2: like I said at the beginning of this episode, hopefully

916
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 2: learning how to start my podcast. My goal is to

917
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 2: have the ball rolling on that by the end of

918
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 2: the year. But like I said, try not to place

919
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: too many expectations on myself because never know where life's

920
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 2: really going to take me.

921
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: So true, and to finish the interview, something that I

922
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: ask all my guests is what is your biggest source

923
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: of motivation in regards to when you're just not feeling it?

924
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: What do you sort of do to get motivated? Or inspired.

925
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think just looking back on the past

926
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 2: couple years of my life and seeing how far I've

927
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 2: come and how much I've developed physically and mentally in

928
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 2: the past couple years, specifically just in college, because I

929
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 2: feel like that's when my life really actually started. But

930
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 2: it just really gives me hope that I've only started

931
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 2: to meet my potential and it really makes me excited

932
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 2: for what my twenties hold for me. Like I said,

933
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 2: I'm turning twenty two later this week, so I'm still

934
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 2: really young, and I often find myself comparing myself to

935
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 2: older people, but I kind of have to reel it
