00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,640
Welcome to Fit to Be Real and a little extra.

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,900
We have a very special guest today and she's going to talk to us about confidence and she

3
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:11,440
radiates it.

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:17,100
How she built it, how she continues to work on that skill of keeping it, creating it,

5
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:20,040
and then putting it out there for everybody else.

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,040
And I'm really excited about this.

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,040
Me too.

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,040
I can't wait.

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:31,040
I'm Victoria.

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,040
Hey guys, I'm Carly.

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:42,880
So our guest today is a boss babe in every sense of the word and she has worn many hats

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,000
over the years.

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,400
She was a long-term care nurse.

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,400
She's a school teacher.

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,720
She volunteered at her children's school.

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,980
She's a boy mom and fitness instructor.

17
00:00:52,980 --> 00:00:59,360
She's body by Jacqueline and she teaches at Seafit, which we are so grateful for.

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,120
And she's here to fill us in on how we can all soak up the confidence that she radiates

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,120
every day.

20
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,120
Welcome, Jacqueline McDuffet.

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,840
Thank you for having me.

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,520
Why don't you tell everybody your name?

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,120
Hey guys, I'm Jacqueline.

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,320
Oh my God, that was good.

25
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:20,200
That was really good.

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,200
Did I do it?

27
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,200
She even did like a little.

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,200
A little shimmy.

29
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,200
A little shimmy.

30
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,200
I bowled over laughing.

31
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,200
I missed it.

32
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,480
I missed it.

33
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,640
We are very excited to have Jacqueline on.

34
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,280
She teaches for us at Seafit.

35
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,880
We met her, you, almost two years ago.

36
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,840
It'll be two years in August.

37
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,840
Tell them how, Carly.

38
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,720
I'm going to tell you.

39
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:42,720
Guess what?

40
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,640
I slid into her DMs and I responded.

41
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,880
Here's a really fun story.

42
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,840
So I've never done this before.

43
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,520
I didn't actually know it was a thing like sliding into somebody's DMs.

44
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,000
How did you not know?

45
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,360
I've never slid into somebody's DMs before.

46
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,360
But did you know the friend?

47
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,360
She's married.

48
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,960
Yeah, I just was like, how?

49
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,280
Well, first of all, we go to the same pool.

50
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,280
So we go to the same pool.

51
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,720
I would see her every day.

52
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,720
Would I talk to her?

53
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:13,720
No.

54
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,000
She'd be like, that Rolf Bickrals at the pool.

55
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,240
I would text Victoria to see you from across the pool.

56
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,240
I can tell you what bathing suit you were wearing.

57
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,800
I was wearing a neon green.

58
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,120
Oh, that bathing suit.

59
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,120
Everybody loves that one.

60
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,120
Yeah.

61
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,560
Well, she was wearing a neon green bathing suit and I'm texting Victoria going, she's

62
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,560
here.

63
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:31,720
The girl that I want to teach for us is here.

64
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,360
I follow her on Instagram.

65
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,360
She's really good.

66
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,720
She teaches dance fitness and Victoria's like, talk to her.

67
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,720
I was like, yeah.

68
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,720
No.

69
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,120
Like go up to her.

70
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,360
No, never.

71
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,480
So guess what I found, Jacqueline?

72
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,480
I found the DM.

73
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,480
She's scrolled.

74
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,480
Are you going to read it?

75
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,480
I did.

76
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,600
She says, hi, Jacqueline.

77
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,640
I know we don't know each other personally, but we have a lot of mutual friends and I

78
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:58,400
feel like I do.

79
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,400
Smiley face.

80
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,840
But like the colon and the parentheses.

81
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:03,840
Not even an emoji.

82
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:04,840
No, no.

83
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,280
I can't believe you responded to me.

84
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,080
And then I was like, can you teach for us?

85
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,960
And I said, if you're interested, we'd love to talk to you about a possible fitness teacher

86
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,960
position.

87
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,960
No pressure.

88
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,120
I know you have your own thing going.

89
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,120
Looks awesome.

90
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,120
Let us know.

91
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,120
Is that funny?

92
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,120
And she responded.

93
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,120
Why?

94
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,320
Even with the no pressure.

95
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,320
And she was just as nice in her response, but I was like, I can't possibly talk to her.

96
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,760
You know why?

97
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:35,320
Because she walks around the pool super confident and I was not super confident and I had a

98
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,320
fear of rejection.

99
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,440
So I was like, well, I'll DM her because I was not confident enough to walk up to somebody

100
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,680
else and be like, hey, you teach fitness.

101
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,680
You do what I do.

102
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,680
I do what you do.

103
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,680
Let's talk.

104
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,680
Yeah.

105
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,520
I think the reaction would have been a little bit easier if it was through DM and seven person.

106
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,520
But right.

107
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,160
But then what would have happened when you go to the pool and you're like, yo, neon bathing

108
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,520
says it's so I'm going to stay on this side of the pool.

109
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,240
If she had said no, thanks.

110
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,440
Well, look at us now.

111
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,440
And she did.

112
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,200
She just, if you don't know Jacqueline, she exudes confidence.

113
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,800
That's just who she is.

114
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:19,200
But we're going to talk about that and how she got that, how she, is that actually how

115
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:24,480
you feel or is that like a thing that you put on because people want to know.

116
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,640
Do they?

117
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,040
She's asking for a friend.

118
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,040
A friend.

119
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,040
You can't see me.

120
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,960
But air quotes.

121
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,600
But first, before we get to confidence, let's talk about you are not always a fitness teacher.

122
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,600
No, I was not.

123
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,000
What were you and why?

124
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Okay.

125
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Should I start from the beginning?

126
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Yeah.

127
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,520
I went to college at Westchester University for nursing.

128
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,520
Right.

129
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,520
Third year of nursing school, I failed one class.

130
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,520
What?

131
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,520
Yeah.

132
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,520
Not even a class.

133
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:02,800
I failed a one test that was a large portion of my grade and ended up failing that class.

134
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,640
So I was like, I'm not meant to do this.

135
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,960
I changed my major to health science, did another year, finished my senior year.

136
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,920
Finished my senior year, four months pregnant with my 12 year old.

137
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:18,920
Okay.

138
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,120
So I graduated from Westchester, four months pregnant, not with a nursing degree like I

139
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,320
had planned with a health science degree.

140
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:35,520
So then I got a job throughout the summer, had my oldest son in November, middle of November

141
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,440
of 2010, January 3rd of 2011.

142
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,240
So I had a six week old, I decided to go back to nursing school.

143
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,320
Oh my gosh.

144
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,720
So I had a six week old, went back to nursing school.

145
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,240
I went to Delaware County because it was a three semester program for me because I had

146
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,160
already had so much background.

147
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,320
Which is a community college.

148
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,040
Yes, Delaware County Community College.

149
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,480
And so then I graduated from Delaware County as a nurse.

150
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,480
So I got there.

151
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,240
It took a little while, but I got there.

152
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,600
And how old was your son at that point?

153
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,600
He was probably 18 months old.

154
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:13,600
Oh my gosh.

155
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:14,600
Yeah.

156
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,600
I'm so impressed right now.

157
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,600
I know.

158
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,600
Actually I didn't notice.

159
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:18,600
Yeah.

160
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,600
It was a lot.

161
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,760
Sometimes I look back and I'm like, how did I do that?

162
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:22,760
You just survived.

163
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,640
But you just do it because you have to.

164
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,680
And at that time I felt like that's what I needed to do.

165
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:33,160
Because you were out of high school, you're deciding what you want to be as an adult.

166
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,960
And I didn't want to derail my plans too much.

167
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,720
So anyway, I finished.

168
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:48,040
I worked as a nurse for a while in long term care and some hospice, had my second son.

169
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:55,240
And then by the end of my nursing career is when I was pulling into the parking lot to

170
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,360
go to work and my stomach would just drop.

171
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,800
I didn't want to be there.

172
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,200
Hated my job.

173
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,360
Probably could have found something else nursing wise that I wanted to do.

174
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,760
But I also really wanted to be home with my kids at the time.

175
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,480
And thankfully my husband had a good job and we were able to do it.

176
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:18,480
So I was like, why am I driving to a job that's making me physically ill, leaving my kids

177
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,440
to go do that?

178
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:26,680
So I eventually stopped working and was a stay at home mom for a very short period of time.

179
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,920
So in all of that you got married and had another baby.

180
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:30,920
Yes.

181
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,440
Got married, had another baby.

182
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,440
Wow.

183
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:40,000
And then my second son, Mason, who's my younger son, was almost three when I stopped working.

184
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,720
Oh my gosh.

185
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,760
You worked through the hard years.

186
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,360
Like the formative.

187
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,360
Yes.

188
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,000
I'm your exhausted years.

189
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Jacqueline.

190
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Yeah.

191
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Kudos.

192
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,000
I know.

193
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,720
I can't even imagine because I know how you just don't sleep.

194
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,480
And I sometimes I think back to that time and I don't have a ton of memories about even

195
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:06,720
working I think because I tried to block them out because I really I was just going through

196
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,200
the motions every day.

197
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,320
Do you think you didn't like the type of nursing that you were in?

198
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,200
No, I just think that I didn't like nursing in general.

199
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,200
Yeah, you thought you did maybe when you were younger.

200
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,200
I mean, it's hard.

201
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,840
I have a strong stomach, blood, none of that bothered me.

202
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,680
Not even and this sounds terrible, but people dying didn't really bother me because you

203
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:32,640
learn how to deal with it, but I just knew in the back of my mind that's not it wasn't

204
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,080
what I wanted to do long for the rest of my life.

205
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,080
Yeah.

206
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,080
Did you know what you want to do?

207
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,080
You just knew what you didn't want to do.

208
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,080
I knew what I didn't want to do.

209
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,080
Yeah.

210
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,080
And at the time I was like, well, right now I can just be a mom.

211
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,080
So that's what I did.

212
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,080
Just.

213
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,080
Just.

214
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,080
Just.

215
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,080
It's exhausting.

216
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,800
I mean, she is the volunteer queen at school.

217
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,760
She's she's at her kid's school 24 seven.

218
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,640
I was actually there this morning.

219
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,760
You were.

220
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:04,200
So how long were you at home trying to figure out what it is your next step was?

221
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,120
This is kind of where my I'll get into how I started in fitness because this is kind

222
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,400
of where go for it that all came in.

223
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,680
So I was a stay at home mom.

224
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:17,600
What before I used to go to the gym didn't have time to do that.

225
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:23,560
So I started working out at home with Beachbody workouts, which insanity P90X.

226
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:27,000
I'm sure you have heard of something that they've done.

227
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:35,840
So I was working out at home doing those programs and Beachbody has a coaching aspect.

228
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,800
So I was like, OK, chance to earn a little bit of income.

229
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,560
I decided to sign up to be a coach, but I'm literally the suckiest salesperson in the

230
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:46,560
world.

231
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:48,440
So so I was trying it.

232
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,440
I was making money.

233
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,040
It was it was fine for what it was.

234
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,600
That's where you have to get people.

235
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,600
Yes.

236
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,800
Like for people to slide into each other's DM.

237
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,480
I didn't do that.

238
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:04,920
I was more of kind of what influencers do now would just post about what I was doing.

239
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,480
I wasn't cold messaging people.

240
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,360
I wasn't cold calling people.

241
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,880
I was just sharing and then basically being like an accountability coach to people that

242
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,400
were also doing Beachbody programs.

243
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,400
Gotcha.

244
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,760
And like helping them stay on track.

245
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:29,720
But then in 2019, so Beachbody had their at home workouts, but Beachbody also had a live

246
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,080
component to it.

247
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:37,240
So you could get trained in some of their workout formats to then go teach.

248
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,520
Oh, in person.

249
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,520
Enter insanity.

250
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:41,520
Oh, yes.

251
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:48,800
So I got certified to teach insanity in 2019, which is the crappiest timing.

252
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:49,800
I know.

253
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,320
I got certified in October of 2019.

254
00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:00,440
And from there, the first time I ever taught that class, I was like, this is where I need

255
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:01,440
to be.

256
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,360
I want to be the one leading.

257
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:13,000
So while I technically am still part of Beachbody because of that background, I shifted my entire

258
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:19,280
fitness regime and moved into teaching instead of just coaching.

259
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,280
Right.

260
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,560
So insanity is like hit.

261
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:23,560
Yes.

262
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:24,560
Right.

263
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:25,920
And you also teach dance fitness.

264
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,280
I teach dance fitness.

265
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,080
Which word did that come into play?

266
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,840
So after I got certified in insanity, that was October of 2019.

267
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,800
Then of course, March of 2020, everything went to crap.

268
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:44,200
And my short stint of teaching in person went away.

269
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,560
So I was like, now what do I do?

270
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:52,120
So then I just started to get certified and other things and started teaching virtually

271
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,120
April of 2020.

272
00:11:54,120 --> 00:12:00,680
And then I had heard about, I don't even know how I found out about this, but I heard about

273
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:03,760
getting certified in turn up.

274
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,600
And it might have been, it was a full year later.

275
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,760
So February of 2021, I went through that process.

276
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,560
My God, you did all of this during COVID.

277
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:16,640
Yeah.

278
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:24,320
Because I was basically trying to keep momentum in my business of just myself, but keep myself

279
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,640
relevant as a fitness instructor at a time where it was super hard to do, especially

280
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,000
because I had just started.

281
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:37,880
But also super great for you because she taught virtually when everybody was teaching

282
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:38,880
virtually.

283
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:44,680
So you may not have gotten the amount of people that you have now if it weren't for COVID.

284
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:47,120
So it wasn't all bad for you, I feel.

285
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,120
And I'm still doing it.

286
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,120
And she's still doing it.

287
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,560
Still doing it virtually because they like it.

288
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:54,760
Well, you made your basement like a whole home gym, right?

289
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:55,760
Yeah.

290
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:56,760
Yeah.

291
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,280
It looks pretty awesome if you go to her Instagram and check it out.

292
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,480
The neon lights and a neon bathing suit.

293
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,480
There's a theme.

294
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,480
There's a theme.

295
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,200
A very bright person.

296
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,400
So to teach dance fitness too though, you grew up dancing.

297
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:10,400
I did.

298
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,960
I have 25 plus years of dance experience.

299
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,880
To be a good dance fitness instructor, I feel like you have to be.

300
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,520
You have to have a dance background.

301
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,520
I agree.

302
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:20,520
I think it's hard.

303
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:25,760
I almost bite my tongue when people are like, anybody can do it.

304
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,800
And I don't mean I don't want to put anybody down if that's what you want to do great,

305
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,400
but you're going to have to work really hard.

306
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,800
I don't think anybody can do it.

307
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,080
I think 25 years of dance experience sets you up pretty well.

308
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,080
Right.

309
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,080
So I 100% agree.

310
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,800
I think that we have noticed, as I've told you before, we have gone through a lot of

311
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,560
teachers and we tend to gravitate towards the ones that have been dancers their whole

312
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:57,840
lives because it's very hard to queue and count and smile and motivate and I'm a sock.

313
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,840
And talk.

314
00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,840
Yeah.

315
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,720
I don't motivate people and I've been doing it my whole life.

316
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:02,720
We know.

317
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,920
And remember what you're doing in the process.

318
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:05,920
What comes next?

319
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,920
Yeah.

320
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:07,920
Yeah.

321
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,720
It's all very hard, but you you made it work for you during COVID.

322
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:12,720
It's still working.

323
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,160
Body by Jacqueline is what she does.

324
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,160
You can check it out.

325
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,160
Yeah.

326
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,640
And then you still do it every day today.

327
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:19,640
Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

328
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:20,640
Yeah.

329
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:21,640
Then you slid into her DMs.

330
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:22,640
She did.

331
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,480
And she's been a see fit instructor ever since.

332
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,960
I can't tell you how nervous I was when you first came.

333
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,600
I was like, oh my God, she's so good.

334
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,360
I don't know.

335
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,360
What is she going to like us?

336
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,560
Is she going to like our styles?

337
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,120
The feelings were mutual.

338
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,040
She was like going on a first date.

339
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,680
I was like, what are you doing?

340
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,240
I was so nervous.

341
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,600
You don't show it.

342
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:46,600
You don't.

343
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,840
You pull it off really well.

344
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:48,840
You do.

345
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,640
I was nervous, but literally after the first day, I was like, oh, these girls are awesome.

346
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:53,880
I don't know why I was nervous.

347
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,160
And it just it has felt like home since then.

348
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,480
But I mean, it's like going into any new job.

349
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,800
You're going to feel a little nervous.

350
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:04,800
Yeah.

351
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:05,800
Despite how confident you are.

352
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,120
Well, let's let's talk about that.

353
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,160
How do you get the chill vibes?

354
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,520
Have you always had that?

355
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,800
Is that the person you've always been?

356
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:14,800
No, no.

357
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,600
I don't think that a lot of people are going to like this answer.

358
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,600
Great.

359
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:21,800
Fake it till you make it.

360
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:22,800
Yeah.

361
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:23,800
Yeah.

362
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:31,160
I like Carly said you wouldn't know that I'm feeling nervous because I'm faking it.

363
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,720
I'm not anymore.

364
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,640
In the beginning, I was definitely faking the confidence because I was new to all of

365
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:43,960
this, but you don't want people, even though if you look at paper on paper, I'm new, but

366
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,320
you don't want people to know it by taking your class.

367
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,320
Right.

368
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,320
Of course.

369
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,720
I would show up and in my head, I'm like, nobody knows if I mess up.

370
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,640
Nobody knows if I was supposed to do that or not.

371
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,840
Nobody except for you guys because you also do what I do.

372
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,960
Nobody knows how it's supposed to happen.

373
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:02,960
Really?

374
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,520
I would just go in like, well, nobody knows.

375
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,720
I'm just going to do it.

376
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:13,000
After now two and a half years of that, I'm not nervous.

377
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,200
You're not nervous at all anymore.

378
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,160
I also put myself in uncomfortable situations a lot.

379
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,160
On purpose?

380
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,160
On purpose.

381
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,160
What?

382
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,160
Yeah.

383
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,080
Things that I a couple of years ago would absolutely say no to.

384
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,080
I do it.

385
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,520
A lot of times it's by myself.

386
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,960
It might be going to do fitness, something fitness related, which I am comfortable with,

387
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:42,280
but going to do it by myself somewhere else with a group of people that I don't know at

388
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,280
all.

389
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,280
Yeah.

390
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,880
So that is really good advice because we're completely opposite.

391
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:54,280
So I would do something new and make her come with me, Victoria, come with me because I

392
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,160
can't go by myself.

393
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,160
Right.

394
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,160
The first time.

395
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,160
Right.

396
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:04,440
I would never put myself in an uncomfortable situation without making her just as uncomfortable.

397
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,440
Right.

398
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,760
And a couple of years ago, I wouldn't either.

399
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,760
Yeah.

400
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,480
But now I do it on purpose.

401
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:10,480
Yeah.

402
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,480
It's like a tool.

403
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:12,480
It is.

404
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,880
That's a skill that you build up over time and each new experience teaches you something

405
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,520
different and then it doesn't necessarily get easier because all the experiences you

406
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:22,520
do.

407
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,360
I was just going to say, right, it never really gets easier.

408
00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:27,880
You just get used to feeling that way.

409
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:28,880
Yeah.

410
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,280
That is such a good...

411
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:32,280
Listen up, everyone.

412
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:38,080
It's such a good thing to kind of just keep in back of your mind, especially if you are

413
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:44,600
feeling, Carly, that you are not a confident person, which is kind of BS, to be honest

414
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:45,600
with you.

415
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:46,600
No.

416
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:47,600
Finish your sentence.

417
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,000
Because you're confident in a lot of ways.

418
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,520
It's really a new thing, like Jacqueline said, that it's out of your comfort zone.

419
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:55,680
When I'm confident, you can tell.

420
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,560
When I'm not, you can tell.

421
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:06,960
I just at this point walk into a room and try and act like I own it.

422
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,720
When I am putting myself in those uncomfortable situations, I'm just going to walk in like

423
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:15,760
I am not uncomfortable at all and I'm just going to go for it because nobody else really

424
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:23,560
knows or cares how you feel or what you look like in that situation or what you're doing.

425
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,600
Or they're in the same situation.

426
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:26,600
They're feeling the same things.

427
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,600
I know.

428
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:28,600
Everyone's faking it.

429
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:29,600
I know.

430
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:30,600
Everyone's faking it till we make it.

431
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,600
I know.

432
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,640
I'm surprised you think people wouldn't like that answer.

433
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,800
I love that answer because that's truly Jacqueline.

434
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,840
I think a lot of people that specifically take your class or want to know more about

435
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:49,600
you would love to hear that, to be like, oh, she does have hard times and it's not as easy

436
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,600
as she makes it seem.

437
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,080
Like maybe I could have that confidence too if I did X, Y, and Z.

438
00:18:55,080 --> 00:19:00,480
The amount of progress between when you started and where you are now with the people that

439
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,520
come to your class, they're different people in that class.

440
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,240
It started very maybe tepid of like what is happening?

441
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,160
I don't know if I want to move my body like this.

442
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,160
I feel uncomfortable.

443
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,560
I'm talking about myself.

444
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,240
And half of them are now taking their shirts off.

445
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,240
Right.

446
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,840
And it's like because you do.

447
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,640
Because they kept putting themselves in uncomfortable situations.

448
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,640
And then it gets more and more or less uncomfortable, but then what's cool about you is that you

449
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:26,920
get to that uncomfortable.

450
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:27,920
And I bring in a little bit more.

451
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,600
And then you just add a little bit more.

452
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,400
That's how you build the confidence for yourself.

453
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,400
Right.

454
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,040
That's, Carly, are you taking notes?

455
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,040
Oh, nobody can see that.

456
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,720
Nobody can see that you just faked writing on your palm.

457
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,640
I faked it and I will make it.

458
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,360
I don't know about that.

459
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,920
I'm one of them though because I know I've told you we've brought you up in a couple

460
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,080
podcasts about confidence and blah, blah, blah.

461
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,400
You know, we talk about blah, blah, blah.

462
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,000
I love a blah, blah, blah.

463
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,960
I enjoy your class so much because it is so not me.

464
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:05,160
I'm a dancer, but that's a different style of dance than what my body is used to.

465
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:10,080
But I love doing it and feeling the way that I do when I do it.

466
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,200
And I don't look great doing it all the time.

467
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,840
I, you know, Victoria's taken a couple of all the time you do.

468
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,200
Oh, I thought you were going to say all the time.

469
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,320
You don't, you don't.

470
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:25,640
We sort of talked about this last night at class because we were parading around with

471
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,000
our middle fingers up and there were a lot of cursors, which I have the worst mouth

472
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,480
in the world in real life.

473
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:38,800
So I'm not the best person to talk to about this, but I'm also outside of that room, that

474
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,000
45 minute class.

475
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,560
I'm not walking around like doing body rolls and like touching myself and yeah, I'm not

476
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,320
a very sexy person.

477
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,480
That was my favorite last night.

478
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,440
She goes, feel your body.

479
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,600
And I was like, oh my God, I believe you.

480
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:55,600
Right.

481
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,600
Like I, there was nothing fake about it.

482
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,000
It's totally.

483
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,280
There is nothing fake about it in that moment.

484
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:09,040
But I also think it's okay to then turn that off, go home and be the other version of you.

485
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,040
Right.

486
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,560
But it's almost like what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

487
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,200
What happens in turn up class stays in turn up class.

488
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,920
And you can still go to church on Sunday and be fine.

489
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:19,920
Right.

490
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:20,920
But that's balance.

491
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:21,920
Exactly.

492
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:22,920
That's what we brought up.

493
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:28,840
I said, people want to hear the two sides of you and they are going to be shocked that

494
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,640
you don't walk around like you teach turn up.

495
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,920
You are a very different person.

496
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,800
No, I work at my kid's school in a kindergarten class.

497
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,960
She is a hallmark channel loving Sunday church going gal.

498
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:44,960
That's me.

499
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:45,960
Right.

500
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:46,960
Right.

501
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,560
Because that's also me.

502
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:49,560
Right.

503
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,800
And I think it's a good thing to make sure everybody knows you did not come out of the

504
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,120
womb like the badass that you are right now.

505
00:21:58,120 --> 00:21:59,120
It took work.

506
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:00,560
It takes work.

507
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,440
Everybody needs to work on that kind of progress and confidence and some people just aren't

508
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,440
born with it.

509
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,800
But it doesn't mean that you can't have it.

510
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,720
I mean, I feel like I've gotten more confidence in snowing you.

511
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:11,720
I would agree with that.

512
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,240
Actually, you in particular.

513
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,160
Yeah, no, I definitely have because it's always been in there.

514
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:19,240
Jacklyn.

515
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,560
But when I'm uncomfortable, I feel like I've gained some confidence this year knowing you

516
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:29,320
and being like, I think that what you're doing, but I don't do what you're doing.

517
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,320
Right.

518
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,600
But now I'm doing more and thinking a little bit less.

519
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,960
Guys, isn't it what you want me thinking less?

520
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,920
I'm just trying to follow everything you just said.

521
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:38,920
It was so profound.

522
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,560
Yeah, there was so much in there.

523
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,160
I mean, like I think about doing some of the things that Jacqueline does, but I don't do

524
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,160
them.

525
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:51,160
Now, after knowing you're not going to action, right, I'm going to get you a WWE J.D. bracelet.

526
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,160
What would Jacqueline do?

527
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,160
Oh, my gosh.

528
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,160
That is amazing.

529
00:22:54,160 --> 00:23:00,360
But now let me finish my sentence.

530
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:04,880
Now after knowing her and seeing like she's doing it, why can't I do it?

531
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,280
I don't know how to think about it anymore.

532
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,200
I can do it too.

533
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,080
I've been doing more things that make me feel maybe uncomfortable.

534
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,080
Good.

535
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,080
Do you understand now?

536
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,080
Yeah, we got it the first time.

537
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,080
Thank you.

538
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,520
We understood.

539
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:28,560
I also and I know weight isn't it does not make or break confidence at all.

540
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:34,080
But I also at one point during all of this lost 22 pounds.

541
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,080
Right.

542
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:42,400
I think it changed me in a good way because if you can't look in the mirror and be like,

543
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,560
I love who that person is, nothing else matters.

544
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:47,560
Right.

545
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,160
And if you will fake it forever, right?

546
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:51,160
Forever.

547
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,160
You won't make it.

548
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,160
Yeah.

549
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,760
And you made the changes in your lifestyle to be happy with yourself.

550
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:57,760
Right.

551
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,040
And hey, listen, you can be happy at yourself at any size and promote that all the time.

552
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,920
But if you're not happy, then you have to make a change.

553
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,480
Yeah, I felt like shit all the time.

554
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:08,480
Yeah, all the time.

555
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,000
My clothes didn't fit right.

556
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,600
I just felt uncomfortable.

557
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,320
I was having health issues.

558
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:20,320
I swore I had a thyroid disorder, went to the doctor and they're like, no, you're fine.

559
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,720
Oh my God, I tried to do that too.

560
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,160
I was like, I can't lose weight.

561
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,400
I must have a thyroid problem.

562
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,400
Right.

563
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,080
I was trying to find other reasons.

564
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,440
And then finally, I was like, get your crap together.

565
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:31,840
This is on you.

566
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,440
Make the changes.

567
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:34,440
So I did.

568
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,440
It was not overnight.

569
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,200
It was months and months and months.

570
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:44,240
But I looked in the mirror and felt like I love that person because that person feels

571
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,400
good inside and out.

572
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,040
It's more about the feeling.

573
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,880
It had nothing to do with the number on the scale.

574
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:51,880
Yeah.

575
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,120
I mean, look at all three of us.

576
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:55,640
We're all very fit people.

577
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,920
The number on the scale is not going to be the same for any one of us.

578
00:24:58,920 --> 00:24:59,920
Right.

579
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:00,920
Everybody's different.

580
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:01,920
Yeah.

581
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:02,920
So we all are fit.

582
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:03,920
Right.

583
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,880
So I'm going to say, if you want to get that number, you should be real.

584
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,560
We didn't even ask her to say that.

585
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,560
She's just that good.

586
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:12,560
But you know what I'm saying?

587
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:13,560
So the number really doesn't matter.

588
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,560
Yeah.

589
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,800
So you, I'm going to say it, and we're going to get so angry at me.

590
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:17,800
She's a hustler, baby.

591
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:18,800
Oh my God.

592
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:19,800
You work for yourself.

593
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:20,800
I do.

594
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:21,800
You are a mom.

595
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:22,880
You work 24 seven.

596
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,000
You work at your children's school.

597
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
You teach there.

598
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,000
You teach for us.

599
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:34,240
You are a all around hustler.

600
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,920
Yes, baby.

601
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,000
And like president of home and school.

602
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,000
I know also.

603
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,000
No, thank you.

604
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,000
But good job.

605
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,800
I tell you what I how I feel about this.

606
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,800
Yes.

607
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,600
Don't do it.

608
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,000
Don't be so busy.

609
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Oh yeah.

610
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,560
She was where you are losing your mind.

611
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:59,400
Every time I say yes to somebody else, I say no to myself.

612
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,800
Later for the people in the back.

613
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,800
That's right.

614
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:02,800
Say it again, Jacqueline.

615
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,320
I'm actually talking to myself at this point.

616
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,680
I'm trying to give myself advice.

617
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,520
Every time I say yes to somebody else, I say no to myself.

618
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,960
In a situation where I don't want to do whatever it is I'm saying yes to.

619
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:21,320
And I spent a lot of time the last couple months saying yes to a lot of things I didn't

620
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,920
want to do and I was feeling it so much.

621
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,240
I would go home at night and just like sit there and feel like I couldn't get up.

622
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,760
Like there was so much weight on me.

623
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,760
And the thing is I had full control over that.

624
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:44,480
So my advice is it's it's good to hustle till you get to where you want to be.

625
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,400
And then you decide what it is you want to do.

626
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:48,400
You've already made it.

627
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,400
Okay.

628
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,400
You got to where you want it to be.

629
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,400
It's on you.

630
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,000
Like you pick and choose the things that you want to do.

631
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,760
If you don't want to do something, don't do it.

632
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:57,760
Yeah.

633
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:58,760
Are you listening?

634
00:26:58,760 --> 00:26:59,760
I know.

635
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:00,760
I know.

636
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:06,640
I think in general, like even the three of us were doers because we know that it will

637
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,400
get done if we do it.

638
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:09,400
Yeah.

639
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,400
That's control.

640
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,400
It is.

641
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:12,400
It's a control thing.

642
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:19,400
But think about how much happier you or I or you would be if we said no to a couple

643
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,520
things that could be done by somebody else.

644
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,280
They could be done by somebody else.

645
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,280
I started saying no this year.

646
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:31,760
And the only time it's been really hard is because when people expect you to say yes,

647
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:32,760
because you've always been the yes man.

648
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,040
You've always been that way.

649
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,480
That friction and that pushback of being the no in that moment.

650
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:43,480
It really is the biggest challenge to stick to that no and not go back to being like,

651
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,480
OK, I'm going to people please my way to just whatever.

652
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,000
I'll deal with it later.

653
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,520
And then the later comes and you're sitting there on the couch and you can't get up and

654
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,960
you're exhausted and you don't want to deal with the kids because you're just too tired

655
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,920
or the dog or the husband or the whatever your life.

656
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,440
That is the biggest part of it is that you've set yourself up for so many years being one

657
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,800
way and the challenges to decide to go to that uncomfortable place.

658
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,800
Right.

659
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,600
I mean, it all is uncomfortable in its own way.

660
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,440
And then your life just kind of changes into this new direction.

661
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:17,440
But it's hard.

662
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,680
It's really hard to do in the last few months.

663
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,920
I've asked other people to do things for me.

664
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,480
And the answer was no.

665
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,200
And I'm like, why?

666
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:35,160
You know, these are the same people that I say yes to and they have no problem saying

667
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,840
no to me.

668
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,400
So it was like done.

669
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,400
Yeah.

670
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,400
Yeah.

671
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,400
A hundred reciprocity.

672
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:42,400
Yes.

673
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,560
That's not even just those specific people, but that was really like, OK, people have no

674
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,600
problem saying no to me.

675
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,160
I can be that way too.

676
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,160
Yes.

677
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,160
Yes.

678
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,000
To preserve your mental health, your physical health.

679
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Yes.

680
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,560
I mean, it's exhausting to be a hustler, baby.

681
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:58,720
A hustler, baby.

682
00:28:58,720 --> 00:28:59,720
Right.

683
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:00,720
You have to find the balance.

684
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:01,720
Yeah.

685
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:02,720
It's OK.

686
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,760
I mean, working hard, there's nothing wrong with working hard.

687
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:05,760
No.

688
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,120
Burning yourself out, which I know you guys already talked about this, is a whole nother

689
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,120
story.

690
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,120
And that's where I was headed.

691
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,120
Yeah.

692
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,480
And that burnout dims your confidence and it dims your ability.

693
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:16,480
Right.

694
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:21,520
To be able to test yourself and go into those new exciting but uncomfortable situations.

695
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,520
Right.

696
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,360
You know, it's so connected.

697
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,360
It's not even funny.

698
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:26,360
Right.

699
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,440
Like the things that you've found thrill in before are just like, OK, let me go do this

700
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,440
again.

701
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:32,440
Yeah.

702
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,600
And then maybe you're too tired to take care of your body and then you get to that place

703
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,440
where you're like, oh my gosh, I wish I was healthier.

704
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:37,440
Right.

705
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,440
I wish I, no, no, no.

706
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,440
And then now where are you?

707
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,720
You know, what dark cloud are you sitting under for how long?

708
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,120
So obviously that's the extreme.

709
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,400
That's the extreme of like everything trickling through the bad place.

710
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:53,320
But and also you don't have to explain why you're saying no to somebody.

711
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,320
Just so you know.

712
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,320
That's a hard one for me.

713
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,320
But yeah, right.

714
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,320
So true.

715
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,640
Because even though I have been saying no more often, I then follow it up with no, I

716
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:02,640
can't.

717
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:03,640
I'm sorry.

718
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:04,640
I have X, Y and Z.

719
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,640
Like what?

720
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:06,640
It's none of their business.

721
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:11,520
First of all, and no period is a complete sentence.

722
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:12,520
Period.

723
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:13,520
Period.

724
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:14,520
Period.

725
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,520
You ruin everything.

726
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:22,520
But also it's that is like no, no is a full sentence.

727
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,520
Right.

728
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,520
Right.

729
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:32,680
OK, so I think confidence is the biggest thread of everything.

730
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,760
And it's also probably the hardest thing for the average person or somebody, you know,

731
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:41,360
wherever you are in your life to really feel and thrive in.

732
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:46,280
And you've talked about it a lot and you gave some really good insiders, but just like recap

733
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:53,560
the biggest tip to just start your your path to confidence.

734
00:30:53,560 --> 00:31:00,520
The biggest tip is get comfortable being uncomfortable and don't ever feel less than

735
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,680
anybody else in the room that you're in because you're not.

736
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,280
Everyone's in the same boat.

737
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,280
Yep.

738
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,280
That's huge.

739
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,280
Those are huge.

740
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,680
Just be nice to yourself.

741
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:10,680
Geez.

742
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,560
I know, you know.

743
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,920
On that note, I'm going to be nice to Jacqueline right now.

744
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,720
Are you?

745
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,520
Are you?

746
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:25,360
We're going to play a little game we like to call Getting to Know You.

747
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:30,560
DM me back, MacDevitt.

748
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,960
I'm going to ask you what your favorites are and you're going to tell me.

749
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:34,960
And that's the game.

750
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,440
But it's rapid fire.

751
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,000
You know how fast we are around here.

752
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,000
OK.

753
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Rapid fire.

754
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Favorite color.

755
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Think.

756
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Favorite movie.

757
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,040
Oh, I don't have a favorite movie.

758
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,160
You don't have one favorite movie.

759
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,160
I don't.

760
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,160
She's so angry.

761
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,160
I don't.

762
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,160
She's so dull right now.

763
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,160
OK.

764
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,160
What's your favorite vacation?

765
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,160
My sure.

766
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,080
I knew you're going to say that.

767
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,560
Your favorite TV show.

768
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:01,560
Ever.

769
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:02,560
Parenthood.

770
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,480
Oh, style of dance.

771
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:05,480
Modern.

772
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,000
Oh, coffee order.

773
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,520
Brown sugar, shake and espresso with oat milk.

774
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,520
There you go.

775
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,520
Favorite meal.

776
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:14,520
Spaghetti and meatballs.

777
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,240
Homemade spaghetti and meatballs.

778
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,840
Side note, she makes her own spaghetti.

779
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:20,840
State to visit.

780
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:26,000
Besides Jersey, Florida, because my little niece is there and my sister.

781
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,000
I like that.

782
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Leggings brand.

783
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Lululemon.

784
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Yeah.

785
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Alcoholic drink.

786
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,000
A skinny, spicy margarita.

787
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Oh, specifics.

788
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Yeah.

789
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Workout.

790
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,400
If you were to go work out with your favorite workout.

791
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,000
I think a circuit.

792
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,560
Favorite song to belt in the car.

793
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:46,240
OK, this is where my Sunday morning Jesus loving self comes in.

794
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,240
Oceans by Hillsong United.

795
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,560
Oh, my gosh.

796
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,000
And if you haven't heard of it, listen to it.

797
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,000
If you don't know, now you know.

798
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,000
Restaurant.

799
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,800
I love this place called Yonnie's in Ocean City.

800
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:01,800
Favorite season.

801
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:02,800
Summer.

802
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,800
Favorite holiday.

803
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,200
Christmas.

804
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,200
Favorite see the sister.

805
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,200
Oh, Victoria.

806
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,200
Yes.

807
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,200
And expletive right now.

808
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,200
Putting my fingers up.

809
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,200
And that's what you are.

810
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,200
I thought you were going to say Justin.

811
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,200
Oh, damn it.

812
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,200
I should have said Billy.

813
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,200
Guess what, Jacqueline?

814
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,200
I won the game.

815
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,200
You won.

816
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,600
So thank you so much.

817
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:36,600
Thanks for having me.

818
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:37,600
Yay.

819
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:38,600
That was fun.

820
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:44,000
You can find Jacqueline every Wednesday night at Seafit and then also on her own will tag

821
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:50,040
all of your, you know, handles and how to find you to do body by Jacqueline online anywhere

822
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,040
in the world.

823
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,040
Yeah.

824
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,040
Anywhere.

825
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:58,840
And trust me, you're going to want to.

826
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,600
Our real tip today has already been given to you by Jacqueline.

827
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:09,680
Go out, do something uncomfortable, do something outside of your comfort zone and then really

828
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:14,000
take note of how you feel in that moment because that is what you're going to work on.

829
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,760
And that is what you're going to feel a little bit more of every time you do it and it builds

830
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,000
and it gets better and it's easier.

831
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,400
So you have to continue that cycle.

832
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,400
Confidence is a cycle.

833
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,600
It trickles into everything else.

834
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:34,880
So make that decision, book that class appointment, whatever it is that is uncomfortable for you

835
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:39,960
and safe and everything and then go do it.

836
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,920
Your real extra tip of the week has also been said by Jacqueline.

837
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:50,400
She gave us a lot of really awesome stuff today and it is no is a full sentence.

838
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,240
So use that.

839
00:34:52,240 --> 00:34:53,240
Go with it.

840
00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:59,920
Say no if you do not want to do something at a period at the end.

841
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:00,920
No.

842
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:01,920
Period.

843
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:02,920
No.

844
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,200
Look, I'm doing it.

845
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,320
And have that be that.

846
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,280
Be happy with saying no.

847
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,040
If you do not want to do it, do not do it.

848
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,760
The power of no is a full sentence.

849
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,920
So technically that real tip I gave you, you don't have to do that.

850
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:18,920
Period.

851
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:19,920
No.

852
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,920
We're setting you up right here.

853
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,480
That's just it.

854
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,480
Thanks Jacqueline.

855
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:32,280
Well, if nothing else, we hope that this episode specifically today with Jacqueline has taught

856
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:38,800
you that you are always fit to be real and always allowed to be a little extra.

857
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,800
Okay, bye.

858
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:41,800
Bye.

859
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:42,800
