Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I’m Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I’ve trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it’s the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It’s a practice, not a perfect. Let’s get started.

Hello, Be It babe. How are we doing? Happy March 21st 2025. I’m practicing saying that because we are still recording these in January, because we’ve got stuff in February and things like that, that are going to get me out of town. I know I’m already back in town, but I’m getting ready to go out of town. That, such is the life we live. And so we must honor the time that we have.

Lesley Logan 1:05
All right. So this episode is the time where we share something that’s inspiring, that I saw online, that I’m like this just should inspire us all. We should all be so, like, this is amazing, very interesting to take note of. A win of yours, a win of mine, and a mantra. Really quick and simple.

Lesley Logan 1:18
Okay, so this one came from @lifeotspectrum. I’m not really sure if it was like, oh, Life On The Spectrum. Duh, Lesley, get it together. OT. You know, usually they don’t, usually put the T in the acronym, but there we go. So it says, point of view, your daughter is diagnosed with level two autism and asked for a party to tell her friends why she feels different. And I just think that’s great. I think that’s amazing. How beautiful is this child. She’s like, oh, okay, I’m autistic. I’m gonna have a party so my friends can celebrate the differences in me. Brilliant, brilliant. You know, we should all have a party to celebrate our differences. Wouldn’t that be so cool? So way to go. I believe her name is Ayla, and they said in the captions from Life On The Spectrum, like, slay queen, yes. And you know what’s really funny? I don’t think I would have thought of that, right? But it reminds me of I was getting my hair done, and I, finally, after six years, got a car, and it’s a car I’ve wanted for a really long time. It’s a really special car to me. It’s a car that I’ve dreamed about. And I really, truly haven’t had a vehicle. We have had the van, but I haven’t had a car that can fit into a parking garage or, like, be valet or anything, for six years, and it hasn’t gotten in the way, but it has. There’s always a way around. There’s like, another place to go to, but you have to go out of your way, right? And so when I showed her my car, she’s like, you have to have a party for your car. And I was like, are you crazy? But actually she’s not, because if I had been like Ayla, I could be like, I’m gonna do this. So Ayla, thank you so much for showing us that we can celebrate our uniquenesses with a party. And so maybe we should all do that. That’s what we should all be doing.

Okay, let’s get to what your wins because it’s so fun for you to hear your own win later on, after you’ve had it, in case you’re having a day, and you’re like, oh my goodness. And then you hear this, and you’re like, oh, I had a win before. Yes, and also, and also for you listener, if you didn’t send it in to see, like, what is possibly a win and how you might have had that in your life, right? So Melissa Capitano, on Wednesday, sent off my final payment to officially buy the studio from the previous owner. Still have some loans to pay off related to buying it, but I don’t owe the seller anymore. Fuck yeah, that’s amazing. It’s so amazing to, like, make a final payment on something. You really have to celebrate that. How many of you have made a final payment on a credit card or on a student loan or on something and with red you know, one of these money coaches I listened to was just like, oh no, whenever you’re paying a bill, you should do it from the highest light, from the highest place. So, Melissa, thank you for reminding us to do that.

Kristin Salmans wrote, Contrology contacted me to write an article on the Spine Corrector and then emailed me again, asking to collaborate on a reel because of the ones I’ve done and tagged them in have been their best performing. Shocking on so many levels, and feeling honored and encouraged to keep doing what I’m doing. Didn’t think any of that was in my strengths, but it’s helped me to feel confident in areas I doubted myself. Also, Kim Young, as a motivator, using my Spine Corrector daily, wins all around. Isn’t it so fun to get caught trying, just doing the thing, and then you get caught trying, and people see something in you, and it’s, oh my God. Sometimes we have to have other people see something in us for us to go, I’m killing it. I’m doing a great job. So can’t wait for your Contrology article to go out, Kristin, and I’m so happy you’re loving your Contrology Spine Corrector. I love mine. It’s one of my favorite things to be on. It’s really, really beautiful.

Okay, so a win of mine. I really want to highlight something, I think I mentioned it on a podcast that it’s already come out, but I don’t think I’ve celebrated it as a win with you guys. So on the last day of the tour. I mean, I guess I’d celebrate it with you. I talked about it on the podcast, but I just want to say I didn’t actually celebrate it as a win, and I want to celebrate it as a win, because that’s the message I preach. So on the last day of the tour, I had someone come up to me on the last event and and say, like, how do you have so much energy? And I have to say, a year before the winter tour, I did not end the year with a ton of energy, end of the year, not resentful or upset or like negative or not wanting to do what I do, nothing like that, but just kind of exhausted, a little whelmed, not overwhelmed or underwhelmed. Just okay, it’s done, right? And her noticing that I had high energy at the end of a day, at the end of a long tour, after living out of a van for 36 days, there was a woman in me who was dancing with joy inside, because I was like, yes, you did it. And I will say that energy that she saw came from several wins compiled together. One of those is advocating for myself and finding some help with my hormones, which help with my sleep. Another is just years of continually keeping my practice up, and also boundaries, pretty strong ones that can annoy people sometimes. And I share this as a win because I knew I was doing all those things, and I even celebrated those ones along the way. You heard many of them, but it was really nice for someone outside to who it doesn’t know me to see those things in me. And I was like, yes, because it’s easy for us to get off of our own trains and off of our own dedications, and right before we could have had the outside validation to match the inside validation. Of course, the inside validation should be the only thing. But honestly, in a world of a lot of -ish, sometimes you need the outside validation to remind you that your inner validations is working. So I hope that makes sense. Anyways, essentially, my win is someone saw that I had the energy I’ve been working on getting and maintaining for a year ago, and it just made my day. Just made my day. And isn’t that fun for something to make your day? It is for me.

So, all right, let’s pull a mantra. It’s not even a mantra. This is, it’s called The Deck and I actually have never, I know what I’m gonna pull. So, oh, this one’s a, this one’s a long, theirs are not mantras, because these are long. So here it is, and you can journal to it, right? We put the show notes of these podcasts out. You can journal to it. So, I embrace the mess my heart makes. It chooses to love. It chooses to feel. It chooses to wander far beyond the bounds of what seems like a logical decision. It risks being broken in order to stretch. It risks rejection in order to know the rush of being honest. It risks being wrong to see what might be right. So the mantra is, I embrace the mess my heart makes. And the journey to that is it chooses to love, it chooses to feel, it chooses to wander far beyond the balance of what seems like a logical decision. It risks being broken in order to stretch. It risks rejection in order to know the rush of being honest. It risks being wrong to see what might be right. What a beautiful poem. That’s a poem for us today.
