1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,480 Welcome to the Why Not Today podcast, where we celebrate courage, determination, and the 2 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,800 power of saying, Why Not Today? 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,000 I'm your host, Leslie Cain. 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,760 Each episode, we dive into inspiring stories of individuals who have taken bold steps, 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,120 faced their fears, and embraced the possibility of today. 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,280 From entrepreneurs to artists, dreamers, and doers, we explore the moments when they say 7 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,240 enough waiting, why not today? 8 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,020 Give me as we uncover the heartwarming, the audacious, and the transformative, whether 9 00:00:31,020 --> 00:00:35,960 it's pursuing a lifelong passion, overcoming obstacles, or simply choosing joy. 10 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,200 Our guests share their journeys and inspire us all. 11 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,120 I started this podcast in honor of my father, Patrick Cain, who often said, Why Not Today? 12 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,520 Remember, you're just one decision away from changing your life. 13 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:53,880 And I'm excited today for my guest, which we've never met in person, but Alicia Harrison, 14 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,160 hopefully, get her name right. 15 00:00:56,160

35 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:01,400 I have a friend of mine who's been on the podcast as well, Tamara, who lives in Florida. 36 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,640 And I guess you guys kind of met by accident too. 37 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,400 She went to an event, if I remember correctly, an event with a friend. 38 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,560 The friend didn't show up, and you guys... you met and hit

course, you've got one at your shoulder, the things you've done, and we could probably 42 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:22,680 talk for hours. 43 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,240 So, I'm going to have you quickly introduce yourself and a fun fact about you, and then 44 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,760 we'll talk about courage. 45 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,760 Awesome. 46 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,600 Well, thank you very much for having me, Leslie. 47 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,040 I do appreciate it. 48 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:38,880 And meeting through Tamara was amazing because I love... she's a client of mine in the Flip 49 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,520 this Chip program. 50 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,560 And she actually not only is doing great herself, she invited another friend to be part of it, 51 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:52,440 and that friend has had the most amazing impact on her life that I'm like, wow, Tamara was 52 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,400 meant to connect all these people and places. 53 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,320 So she's pretty incredible, and I'm so excited to be her friend. 54 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,320 Yeah. 55 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,320 What was that? 56 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,480 Hasn't been working with you that long, has she? 57 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,480 No, six weeks. 58 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,480 Yeah. 59 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,480 Six weeks. 60 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:13,880 And we met because she came to a fun book club event that we did to just tour some murals 61 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,440 and stuff here in Sarasota. 62 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,560 And yeah, it was very cool. 63 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,040 So anyway, I'm excited. 64 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,320 So let's hear about you. 65 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,240 So I want to tell you that I am a women's health coach. 66 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:31,880 I coach women who are in the struggles of menopause, perimenopause, and beyond, because 67 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,360 I have a history in personal training. 68 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,880 I ran the training division of health clubs, but got out of that when I moved to Florida, 69 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,200 I was just in real estate and modeled design and things like that. 70 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:49,520 When menopause hit me and put on 25 pounds, I was like, okay, wait, I need to revisit 71 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,200 this other stuff. 72 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,680 And I was eating right and doing all the things. 73 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,800 So the fact that it affected me, I knew it must be affecting a lot of other women too. 74 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,880 We were just talking about that earlier today about how the things in our life that happened 75 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,560 to us propel us into businesses. 76 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,560 Yes. 77 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,120 And to help somebody else. 78 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,120 Yeah. 79 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,760 And really it's to serve others, like that's why we're on this earth, is to serve others. 80 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,800 So if we can find a way to be passionate about it and do it, that's cool. 81 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,160 But I am a mother of four boys. 82 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,800 I have four grandkids, another one on the way next month. 83 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,000 And I have three girls. 84 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,240 I have three girls. 85 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,240 Oh, good. 86 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,040 And one little boy, and we don't know what's coming next. 87 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,040 So we're excited. 88 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,760 We'll take anything. 89 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,080 They're all the light of my life. 90 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,520 And so I live here in Sarasota, Florida with my boyfriend who is from Boston and he has 91 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,840 four kids too. 92 00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:49,680 So we live our lives in motion, simply making sure we don't miss anything, but we have a 93 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,600 great life of our own too. 94 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,800 So what's a fun fact about you? 95 00:04:53,800 --> 00:05:00,320 Fun fact about me is that I have ran more than a dozen marathons and I did the six world 96 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,600 major marathons, which include London, Boston, New York, Chicago, Berlin and Tokyo. 97 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,600 Wow. 98 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,880 I was in the span of my 40th decade. 99 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,240 And so that is really cool. 100 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:17,800 And regardless of what turmoil my life brought a divorce and move across the country and 101 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,040 different things, I stayed focused on that goal. 102 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,800 And four months before my 50th birthday, I earned the six star medal as I crossed the 103 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,840 Boston finish line. 104 00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:31,480 So that's been really cool. 105 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,480 And helps me just keep treading forward. 106 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,680 I love people's inspiring stories. 107 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:42,000 I have episode, I think it was 20 was, I don't remember that because I was just with her, 108 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,440 Chris Howard who hiked the Appalachian Trail and she just spoke at a luncheon that I had 109 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,120 and talked about the lessons she learned. 110 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,120 That is amazing. 111 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,400 And yeah, and yeah, so many cool things. 112 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,040 So let's talk about courage. 113 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,640 So obviously it took courage to do that. 114 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:04,440 And courage to, I know you have good courage stories, but what's the definition of courage? 115 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:11,920 So honestly, like I'm sure you hear from many when you ask this question, I believe courage 116 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,560 is just doing something afraid. 117 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:22,600 But Hal Elrod in his book, The Miracle Equation says it best, having unwavering faith and 118 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,680 putting forth extraordinary effort. 119 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,000 That is exactly what courage is to me. 120 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000 Yep. 121 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,440 I read that book and I have quoted that often. 122 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,440 Yes. 123 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:37,520 I read that and I'm like, you know, the times in my life when real miracles happened, it 124 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,520 was because that's exactly what I was doing. 125 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,760 Having unwavering faith, but putting forth extraordinary effort. 126 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,960 You got to back it up. 127 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:52,360 So when we talked the other day, we had lots of different things in your courage of life. 128 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:59,400 And but one of the things I loved is how you took a health issue of yours, turned it and 129 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,760 let's talk about that story of how you like figured out how to help yourself and then 130 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,280 how you were kind of forced through losing a job into creating a business. 131 00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:14,000 And I love how you just rubble like, okay, this is the income I need to replace and this 132 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,280 is how fast I need to do it. 133 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,280 And you did it. 134 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,520 So what's about those courage stories? 135 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,240 Yeah, absolutely. 136 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,480 And you know, some of it, we all have courageous things that happen in our life, you know, 137 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,760 and they do happen out of by accident, right? 138 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,480 We don't like run out there and decide, oh, I'm going to be courageous today. 139 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,520 We're like, no, I don't need to be courageous today. 140 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,040 Actually, you know, we just want to have a good normal day. 141 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:46,280 But when things happen, you decide, wait, what am I going to dig into here? 142 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:52,400 And you know, whenever you do talk about the career that I'm in now as a health coach, 143 00:07:52,400 --> 00:08:00,000 it was, I was propelled into that because one day I got an email that said, hey, today 144 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,560 can we just hop on, you know, a call. 145 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:10,000 But before I got that call, some of the things that were going on in my life was like I said, 146 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,920 when menopause hit me and I put on 25 pounds, I was like, I got to figure out something 147 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,200 different. 148 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,480 And having a background in personal training, I gave it a shot and I'm like, hey, I want 149 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,440 to figure something out that's quick and just gets me right back. 150 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,680 I need to get in sync because I'm not even recognizing myself. 151 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,840 I don't feel good. 152 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,960 I go in the closet and I'm not happy about what I put on. 153 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,920 I have to change seven times. 154 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:39,240 I can't wear, you know, anything that now I'm like square and I was never square, you 155 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,160 know, and I'm like, what is happening? 156 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,920 And so I really did say, I'm going to try this. 157 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,120 I'm going to just put my head in and create my own program instead of creating it for 158 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,560 a client like I would have in the past. 159 00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:59,160 And so I did, I started and four weeks in, I failed. 160 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,000 Like I just didn't keep doing it. 161 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,760 And I was like, what? 162 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,000 I know what to do. 163 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,040 I know how to do it. 164 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,280 I know, like, geez. 165 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,440 And so, you know, I just walked off. 166 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,440 I'm like, okay. 167 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,440 You're stopping us. 168 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,120 Yeah, it's not the end. 169 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:22,200 And so I dug a little deeper and I put in place a few more things, accountability, gratitude, 170 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,760 and things like that. 171 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,840 Instead of just what am I eating and how am I moving? 172 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,600 I added in these elements that are now part of the flip the chick program and I tried 173 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,800 again and by week six, I was flabbergasted. 174 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,120 I'm like, this is a thing. 175 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,840 Like, holy cow. 176 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,440 I just went and bought a pair of shorts in the regular section. 177 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,320 I didn't have to go to a store where the clothes go straight up or they don't have zippers. 178 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:53,480 And, you know, like, I'm like, oh my gosh, this is awesome. 179 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:59,200 And so I then said, wait, but here I am either this is a do or die. 180 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,520 Like either I say right now, you guys, I created this thing. 181 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,080 And here's what's happening. 182 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,080 I have to do it in real time. 183 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,080 All right. 184 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:14,200 Or I don't get to do it because, you know, it's going to lose its vigor if I'm not doing 185 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,200 it like that. 186 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,240 So I'm like, all right, then I need to start talking about it. 187 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,240 And so I did. 188 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,360 I went on social media and I started saying, oh my gosh, here I am doing this and two weeks 189 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:30,840 from today, I am going to launch a new program when I put myself through. 190 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,760 So keep an eye out. 191 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:33,760 That was it. 192 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,280 I had to, I had to do it now. 193 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,280 Right. 194 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,880 And that's how my brain works. 195 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,600 Somebody asked me one time is if you're the type of person that you make a decision for 196 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:48,680 something you set the date and then you plan it or do you, or you plan it and then set 197 00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:52,200 the date or you plan it, set the date and then just make it happen. 198 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,240 I'm like, I am so like, I'm going to put it out there and then I'm going to figure it 199 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,240 out. 200 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,240 Yes. 201 00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,240 Say yes and figure out how. 202 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,240 Exactly. 203 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,240 Yeah. 204 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,360 You've got your original just never happened. 205 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,360 So yep. 206 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:09,920 So I put those wheels in motion and that last day I threw a big party had everybody over 207 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,680 and was like, okay, this was fantastic. 208 00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:13,800 Here's what this was. 209 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,360 And I started talking about it and I, you know, I introduced it as the flip this chick 210 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,360 program. 211 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,440 It was going to be an eight week program and here's what's going on. 212 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,760 And I was working though. 213 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:29,920 I worked from home and I was doing, you know, 45 hours a week on my computer and doing that. 214 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:35,000 But every day I took a few minutes to pick up my vision board that and look at it and 215 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,080 really believe like, you know, here's what I want in my life. 216 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,320 I want to be helping women feel more connected. 217 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,720 I want to get out there and be active. 218 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,200 I want to do all these things and I would pick up my vision board once a day. 219 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,000 I set up timer and it's part of what we do. 220 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,720 I set a timer once a day and I just took a minute, but I would physically pick it up 221 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,720 and hold it and like look through all the things, you know, and on there is like writing 222 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:04,200 a book and, and creating flip this chick and, and, and soul designers as a group, I put 223 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:09,520 together that we do a walk and talk on Wednesdays, all these things that were like really important 224 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,520 to me. 225 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,320 And I pick it up every day and look at it and I'm like, yeah, this is what I want to 226 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,240 see it for. 227 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:24,440 And that went about for like three weeks and comes a Friday, my boss sends me a note and 228 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:30,280 says, Hey, can you hop on a call at four o'clock and make sure, you know, that's not unusual. 229 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,080 By 405, I didn't have a job. 230 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,080 Wow. 231 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:39,640 I didn't not only have a job, the paycheck I got that day was going to be the last one 232 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:40,640 I got. 233 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:41,640 Oh, wow. 234 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,400 And I'm like, wait, what? 235 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,400 No warning. 236 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,600 I, you know, that no, we're just eliminating the position. 237 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,360 I'm like, not just put me in a different department. 238 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,480 Like, no. 239 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:58,760 So I was like, wait, okay, okay, wait, that means this paycheck I'm getting today is would 240 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,600 cover the next two weeks, right? 241 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,040 And then I get another paycheck that's not coming, but that gives me two weeks, right? 242 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,080 Like, okay, I can live for two weeks, breathe, Alicia, you're going to be okay. 243 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:14,400 You're getting today's paycheck and just calm down and figure out what's next. 244 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:20,000 And so I spent that weekend really wrapping my head around, you know, I've been wanting 245 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,200 to do this other stuff anyway. 246 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,360 Maybe this was just gifted to me. 247 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:32,080 So I now have the time to do the things I'm passionate about, Alicia, look at this as 248 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,960 a gift and make it happen. 249 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,760 And actually one of my kids said, you know, every time I hear somebody loses a job, I 250 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:40,760 say congratulations. 251 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:47,240 Well, you know, it's so interesting when you say that and you looked at it from, okay, 252 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,240 this is a blessing. 253 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,880 Thank goodness you already kind of had an idea. 254 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,320 And it may have taken years for you to launch it if you were still getting that paycheck 255 00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:00,320 one, you didn't have the time to you didn't have the wire, the have to. 256 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,520 And so having to have that have to sometimes, you know, we always hear God closes the door 257 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,000 to open a window. 258 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,880 And you kind of have, you have to get it done. 259 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,680 Always talk about time or activities expand for the time we have available. 260 00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:21,680 If you have all weekend to clean your house, then how long to take you to clean your house? 261 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,640 Your mother-in-law is showing up in 20 minutes. 262 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:24,640 How long does it take you? 263 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:25,640 20 minutes. 264 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:31,120 And so, you know, the time is going to, the could have taken you years to get off the 265 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,400 ground, but you now you had a big Y and, you know, before, I don't know, you may have said, 266 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,160 oh, I'm tired or the sun's out. 267 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,160 I want to go to the beach. 268 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,960 We have all these excuses, but it sounds like you just put your head down and you're like, 269 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:43,960 I got to get this done. 270 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,720 Well, I had to, I had exactly two weeks to get myself a paycheck. 271 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:49,720 Yeah. 272 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,680 The next Friday paycheck, right? 273 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:53,840 So, so I did. 274 00:14:53,840 --> 00:15:00,160 I put my head down and said, you know, you know, one thing in reflecting on that was 275 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,120 that very weekend I was chatting with my dad about it and saying, you know, I think it's 276 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,400 cool that now I have the time and I picked up my vision board as I was talking to him. 277 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:16,000 And I said, wow, you know, the only thing not on this board this year is my job. 278 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,000 Wow. 279 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,640 I'm like, dad, I think I might have done this myself. 280 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:27,560 Like, I'm like, I spend a minute every day looking at all the things I wanted. 281 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:32,280 And in years past, my vision board had that job on there and how much I wanted to earn 282 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,400 and what I wanted to do in that. 283 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,800 And I left it out. 284 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,280 It wasn't anything I wanted to be a part of anymore. 285 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,320 And so I knew then that I was like, no, this is definite. 286 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,120 I just need to figure out how. 287 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,560 So I put my head down. 288 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,480 I put up a website. 289 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,480 I got on GoDaddy. 290 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,680 I'm like, how do I do this? 291 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,120 In 24 hours, I created a website and hunting and packing myself. 292 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:02,440 And then I'm like, okay, now I need to actually make the program like a written program. 293 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,600 And I know how to train clients, but I had already always done it in person. 294 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,840 You know, I didn't ever have to write something down. 295 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:15,440 And so it was a matter of like, wow, I got to create a PDF and then I got to have time 296 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,440 to talk about it. 297 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,320 I got to find the people. 298 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,880 And so I gave myself a week to create the website and the PDF. 299 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,200 And then I said, all right, I've got to have that done by Monday so that I have Monday 300 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,200 to Monday to find the clients. 301 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:33,920 And it would take me five clients to replicate the paycheck that I would have had this next 302 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:34,920 Friday. 303 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,320 And so I'm like, this is you or I. 304 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,200 That's what has to happen. 305 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,240 And it's exactly what happened. 306 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,240 Wow. 307 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,880 And the next month I had five more clients. 308 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,120 And I was like, why saying five? 309 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,120 Exactly. 310 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,600 I need more. 311 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,240 I'm like, I got up the ante here. 312 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,600 Why am I doing this? 313 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:58,080 I'm actually putting myself in a box, you know, and you can't. 314 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,600 You have to decide. 315 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:05,040 Like, yes, we can just do it right this minute and we're limitless. 316 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,880 You know, we really are. 317 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:12,160 And with this world of, you know, Google and YouTube, you can figure out anything. 318 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,800 There's somebody that talks, wrote a book about everything to figure out about. 319 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,800 Right. 320 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,640 And then we had to figure out. 321 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,760 It's like, we put the time to figure it out. 322 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:27,440 And I love your thing about deadlines, that having that deadline. 323 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,040 And I work very well with deadlines. 324 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,200 Like, okay, that has to be done by tomorrow and it'll be done by tomorrow. 325 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,160 A couple of weeks ago I was going out of town and I'm like, all right, a couple of things 326 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,520 that are on my to-do list forever. 327 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,440 I'm like, they've got to get done. 328 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,440 Yes. 329 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:44,440 And when we have a deadline and a hard deadline, we get those things done. 330 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,440 Yeah. 331 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,040 And you know, I've learned a lot from Brendan Bouchard. 332 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,920 He has, yes, he has an app, the growth day app. 333 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:52,920 Have you gotten it? 334 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:53,920 Yes. 335 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:54,920 I listen to him every morning. 336 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:55,920 Okay. 337 00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:02,560 One of the things he says, and I have taken this to heart this year, is he encourages 338 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,840 us to create Friday finishers. 339 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:11,040 And so that at the beginning of your week, you decide, what is it that's primary needs 340 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,920 to be accomplished before Friday? 341 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,480 And you know what, if your life is crazy and you don't remember to even come up with him 342 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,480 and suddenly it's one o'clock on Thursday or noon on Friday, you're like, wait, I need 343 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:26,280 to, what do I actually have to have finished by the end of the work day to day? 344 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,040 And I've been doing that. 345 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,480 And that's pretty cool. 346 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:35,840 It is that deadline where when you're self-employed or you work from home and you're even employed 347 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,800 by someone else, or you can always do it tomorrow, right? 348 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:40,800 Right. 349 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,120 One of the reasons I travel a lot is because I am self-employed and I can work all the 350 00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:46,120 time. 351 00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:47,120 Right. 352 00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:48,240 And you know, again, that time expands. 353 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,320 And so I travel and I'm like, okay, before I leave, this, this must be done. 354 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:54,320 Exactly. 355 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,360 I don't know about you, but before vacation too, you know, when you're on vacation, all 356 00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:02,040 these things that have been on your to-do list forever that have nothing to do with the 357 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,920 vacation, like I remember what time it was, get some jewelry fixed. 358 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,120 I'm like, who really cares? 359 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:09,360 But it's like, all right, clear all the stuff out. 360 00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:10,360 Get you a deadline. 361 00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:11,360 Yeah. 362 00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:17,000 I also learned long ago, my kids range from 23 to 35 years old. 363 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:23,600 And so 35 years ago, I learned that as my kids would leave to go to their dads, I'm 364 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:29,160 like, you know, instead of spending the whole weekend while they're gone cleaning, I finally 365 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,960 said, I'm going to make sure the house is clean. 366 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,040 So when I deliver them, it's clean the whole time. 367 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,040 Yeah. 368 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,360 I can just enjoy my quiet time. 369 00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:38,360 That's for you. 370 00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:39,640 The house stays that way, right? 371 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,120 So those are some of the things you've got to put a limit on yourself. 372 00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:46,200 It's the same as when I decided to run the marathons. 373 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,360 I was 39 years old. 374 00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:49,600 I did the first one and I'm like, wait, you know what? 375 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,960 I'm doing the six world majors in this decade between 40 and 50. 376 00:19:53,960 --> 00:20:01,000 If you don't give yourself parameters when the world is so big and there are no limits, 377 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,800 you won't always get something done. 378 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,680 You've got to say, why not today, right? 379 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:06,680 Absolutely. 380 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,080 And that's why I'm so passionate about this message that just need to do the things and 381 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:16,560 I keep hearing so many incredible stories of people and the things they've done and 382 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:17,560 just that. 383 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,960 And it's also that pivotal moment that it's like, like I said in the introduction, enough 384 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:22,960 is enough. 385 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:28,240 Like I'm drawing the line in the sand and I actually a couple months ago, a month or 386 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:33,400 so ago, I was having a frustrating day about something and it snowed and I literally, with 387 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:38,760 my boots, put a line in the snow and walked over and done, you know? 388 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:44,040 And so, you know, having to have those lines and those deadlines and I really think I do 389 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:49,080 this podcast for me because I get so much good coaching, training, stories, inspiration. 390 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:54,880 So, so let's go to that subject with the flip the chick. 391 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,000 You know, what are some tips? 392 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,360 Because a lot of my audience is women or are women and they're at that age and menopause. 393 00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:07,560 So what are some of the tricks and tips that you teach in your program? 394 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:13,840 And I know you do the accountability part that Tamara actually had to have an accountability 395 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,040 partner so we had to stay in touch, which was cool because it kind of pulled me in. 396 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,680 So share some of your, what are your top tips of things that we should be doing as women 397 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,360 over 40, 50? 398 00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:26,440 Yeah, I'm glad you asked. 399 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:32,360 So with flip this chick, you know, I use the acronym to kind of talk about exactly what 400 00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:36,400 we do do and that is we make fitness fun. 401 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,080 We do low intensity cardio. 402 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:44,920 We incorporate protein, elevate that and create connections. 403 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:50,000 I make sure women are learning how to honor themselves, treating their themselves as if 404 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:56,680 they're worthy because, you know, L'Oreal taught us that decades ago, but do we really 405 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:57,840 treat ourselves that way? 406 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:58,840 Okay. 407 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,720 So I'm going to interrupt you really quick about your worthy. 408 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:07,200 Do you know about Jamie Kern, Lema and her book that just came out called Worthy? 409 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,200 Yes. 410 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,200 And she worked for L'Oreal after she sold IT Cosmetics. 411 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,200 Oh, I didn't know. 412 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,200 I did know she did IT Cosmetics. 413 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,000 I didn't realize she was with L'Oreal before that. 414 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,600 Well, no, she wasn't before. 415 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:20,600 Oh. 416 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:21,600 The story is pretty incredible. 417 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,600 Yeah. 418 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:29,080 She had Rosatia and so started a cosmetic company and sold it for 1.2 billion. 419 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,520 I have read her book. 420 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,280 And became the CEO, but she just came out with a book this week called Worthy. 421 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,280 So you just had some fun. 422 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,280 I saw that it was launching. 423 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,280 Yeah. 424 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,280 Yeah. 425 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,280 I'm sorry for interrupting. 426 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,280 So that's okay. 427 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:45,720 It'll be on the top of my list because part of the Flip This Chick program is that we incorporate 428 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:51,080 some books that you could listen to audio or whatever, but the Worthy project is one. 429 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,360 I ordered that after talking to you. 430 00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:54,360 Yes. 431 00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:58,760 And then the miracle equation, Mel Robbins, a lot of different things. 432 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:05,360 But anyway, some of the things I really recommend women do at this phase in our life, one is 433 00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:06,960 get more protein. 434 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:14,560 They have proven that just getting enough protein can help change your body composition. 435 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,680 But you have to know how much is enough. 436 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,560 So I work with women on getting their macros correct. 437 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,720 Macros is just fancy terminology for protein carbs and fat. 438 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:27,720 Yeah. 439 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,440 And so are the vitamins in there. 440 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:35,480 So but, you know, to not be, you know, intimidated by what people are talking about, just find 441 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,760 out what is it that your body needs. 442 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,840 If your body gets what it needs, it'll get rid of what it doesn't. 443 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,040 And that means we can actually shed belly fat. 444 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,520 We work with strength training. 445 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,320 It is so important. 446 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:54,480 And I do love that they are finally talking about muscle centric medicine as a way to 447 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,120 actually heal your body and stay healthy. 448 00:23:58,120 --> 00:23:59,120 Thank God. 449 00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:02,440 This is finally a conversation and they're not saying, oh, no, don't do that. 450 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,200 Take a pill, you know. 451 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,720 And so I am grateful that that's in the limelight now. 452 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:09,720 And that's what we do. 453 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,120 It's an eight week program. 454 00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:16,360 I now this January launched a 12 month program too, because I had so many women who had done 455 00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:20,200 the eight week program that were like, I just want you along my side for a while. 456 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,440 I'm like, okay. 457 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,360 So so that's pretty cool. 458 00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:31,280 So we have a combination of women doing both, but we meet every Monday night to do that. 459 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:37,040 And then I meet one on one with clients and we do an individualized program. 460 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,320 Really what works for them. 461 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,440 We decide how, how does eating right look to you. 462 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:48,680 I'm not trying to make them suddenly start cooking 45 minute meals three times a day. 463 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,680 And I'm like, no, I live quick. 464 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,200 I live in motion. 465 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,320 And if that's how you live, I can help you with that too. 466 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,200 If you want to cook slow, that's cool. 467 00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,440 Have at it. 468 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,360 I have tons of recipe books on my website and things like that too. 469 00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:10,440 But it is so important that women have a guideline for what really is right for our body at this 470 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:11,440 point. 471 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,960 Because look, I was running hours a day, hours a day, because I was training for a marathon 472 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:16,960 at 52. 473 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,560 I did an ultra marathon and I still put on 25 pounds. 474 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,680 So it's not that. 475 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,680 Bad information. 476 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:25,680 You're not moving. 477 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:26,680 Yeah. 478 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,000 And, you know, learning the new things. 479 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,160 And as, you know, we're different ages, we need to do different things. 480 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,160 Right. 481 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,160 I'm not going to dive deep into this, but have you seen the news about what Weight Watchers 482 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,160 is doing? 483 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,160 No. 484 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,880 I was on a, just, I was listening to a podcast that ended and it popped into another one. 485 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:49,160 And I guess they're apologizing that they're sort of work for some people, but not everybody. 486 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,520 I didn't listen to the whole thing, but they're talking about how medicine makes a difference 487 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:54,520 and they're starting. 488 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:55,520 Oh yeah. 489 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,520 What you're, yeah, absolutely. 490 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:57,520 Those first conversations. 491 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,000 Those drugs that are so popular. 492 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,480 So I'm not going to dive in. 493 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,640 As I said, I want to deep dive in there. 494 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:12,040 But yeah, so I love the stuff you're doing and I love what I'm hearing is so much inspiration. 495 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,080 It's not just eat this, don't eat this exercise, but it's the vision boards. 496 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,240 It's the books. 497 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:19,800 It's the encouragement. 498 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,360 It's the community that you're creating and the connections and the walk. 499 00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:25,360 The mindset. 500 00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:26,360 It is. 501 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:29,200 That is all those things are so important. 502 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,360 And when you surround yourself with like-minded people, it's going to feed and give you more 503 00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:34,360 motivation. 504 00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:35,360 Right. 505 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:39,560 And you know, of course women lose weight, which is exciting. 506 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:40,560 They feel better. 507 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,480 Their body starts to change shape and they're like, oh my gosh, I can't believe my, my clothes 508 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,600 fit different and you know, they kind of get surprised. 509 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,440 I'm like, I'm told to it would work. 510 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:57,720 But you know, I have to tell you this group of women that we have going on right now, 511 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,600 because we do it eight weeks at a time. 512 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,200 So they're in week seven right now. 513 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:09,080 And last week when we met on Monday and everybody, we always start by sharing your wins and challenges 514 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,620 for the week, one win and one challenge. 515 00:27:11,620 --> 00:27:20,800 And I am telling you that by week six, what they're talking about is no longer about weight. 516 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,080 What they're talking about is how their life is different. 517 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,880 And it is the most beautiful thing and so gratifying. 518 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,680 And you know, one of the gals was like, oh my gosh, I have a new boyfriend and he's into 519 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:33,680 fitness. 520 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,160 So we're going for bike rides and we're doing this. 521 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,680 I'm like, oh my gosh. 522 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,160 And you know, she had just started dating, you know. 523 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:48,080 And then another gala is a realtor and she's like, oh my gosh, I sold a house and I got 524 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,680 a new buyer. 525 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,120 And you know, I haven't for a long time. 526 00:27:52,120 --> 00:27:54,280 And I'm like, you guys, here's the thing. 527 00:27:54,280 --> 00:28:01,320 The people at the top of the heap in every industry across the board all prioritize their 528 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:02,320 health. 529 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:08,120 That is non-negotiable for people who are performing at their best. 530 00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:13,680 So if you just stop what you're doing, dead in your tracks and put your health and wellness 531 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,640 first, the rest of your life will get more beautiful. 532 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:19,640 It just can't not. 533 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,280 And I was talking to somebody the opposite the other day who husband was sick and she 534 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:32,400 was a caregiver and she's in some sales and she said that when she was being a caregiver, 535 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,520 you know, of course she wasn't taking care of herself. 536 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:40,360 Like the presentation she's always done that works so well, she was getting nothing. 537 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,960 And unfortunately passed away and she started taking care of herself and doing things to 538 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:45,960 give her joy. 539 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,600 And the exact same presentation is getting her sales. 540 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:49,600 Yes. 541 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,560 You don't realize, you think, oh, nothing, you know, I'm still doing the exact same thing, 542 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,000 but your energy is so different. 543 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,000 Yes, absolutely. 544 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,720 And it really is key. 545 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:04,920 It just makes me so proud to see it and be like, look, this, and, you know, sometimes 546 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,200 the caution is, well, do you think I'll keep doing it? 547 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,120 I'm like, look, you're going to keep doing it because it actually changes your life. 548 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,360 Of course you're going to do it. 549 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,760 And the simple healthy habit shifts that we make make it possible. 550 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:17,760 Right. 551 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,960 You know, and our life changing like you can never, as soon as somebody says you can never 552 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,320 again, then I'm like, give me all that I can get, you know, or bring. 553 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,960 But we can talk about this subject all day long. 554 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:35,520 And one of the things I keep thinking we're going different ways at this podcast, more 555 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:40,680 deeper dives with some of my guests and give people a little more concrete. 556 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:41,680 So we might do that. 557 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:47,840 But so before we part, what, how would you encourage somebody to be courageous to do 558 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:54,000 the things to quit the job, to start the business, to get their health in line? 559 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,120 You know, here's the thing. 560 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,080 You know, when I knew we were going to talk about that. 561 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:06,880 I just want to remind everybody that everybody who is being successful right now, everyone 562 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:12,200 you see in the limelight, everyone you know that is achieving the things they intend, 563 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,080 they all started somewhere. 564 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,880 Nobody begins as an expert in anything. 565 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,600 No, you know, I'm not a plumber. 566 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:22,960 I'm not going to fix my sink. 567 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,580 I don't expect to know how to do it. 568 00:30:25,580 --> 00:30:32,000 If you aren't someone who has the background in health and fitness, you shouldn't expect 569 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,920 yourself to know how to handle it. 570 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,960 Now, how to stop thinking, oh, I should be able to do this myself. 571 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,120 I can handle, I can do it. 572 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,480 I'll just, you know, stop eating as much and move more. 573 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,200 And the reality is that's not it. 574 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,560 You need more of the right food. 575 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,320 You don't need this. 576 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,640 And you need the right type of movement. 577 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,480 So it's so important. 578 00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:01,800 You have goals that are set in business or in finances or relationships. 579 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:07,560 Understand everyone begins as a novice and it's okay. 580 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:12,560 Reach out and ask for somebody to help you because you have to start somewhere or get 581 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:19,080 a book or listen to a podcast, but know that you have to just begin afraid and you need 582 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,400 to start today. 583 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:21,400 Exactly. 584 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,400 Why not today? 585 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,960 Yeah, it's true. 586 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,320 Yeah, so true. 587 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,280 All the lessons that we need to do, all those things. 588 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,200 So yeah, great information. 589 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,480 So how does somebody find you, Ms. Alicia? 590 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,760 Well, you can find me lots of places. 591 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:47,800 Flip this chick is on every social platform, but I am on Instagram at fitover50.flipthischick. 592 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:52,920 Now I want everyone to know that it's not because you have to be over 50 to join this 593 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:53,920 movement. 594 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:54,920 It's that I'm over 50. 595 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,040 I'm 55. 596 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,160 And so that's why I call it fit over 50. 597 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:05,240 So wherever women don't always hit perimenopause or menopause or start to notice these shifts 598 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,000 at a certain age. 599 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,040 So I don't like to put an age number out there. 600 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:14,800 It's whenever what you've been doing in the past is no longer working for you. 601 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,680 That's when you need to make the shift. 602 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:17,680 Okay. 603 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,280 So I don't change anywhere from 35 to 65. 604 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,800 But if what you're doing isn't working and you're frustrated, that's when you should 605 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:25,800 look me up. 606 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:26,800 Love it. 607 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,160 And I love all your enthusiasm. 608 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,400 And you can
