Lesley Logan
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.

Hi, Be It babe. How are you? Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It podcast, where we are going to discuss your wins and one of mine, and remind ourselves that there are ways that we could be celebrating more than we are doing in this world to be it till you see it, which means taking the step while you’re scared and doing the best you can and not being so hard on yourself. So let’s start with your wins. We have Mary Dellanina. Past few weeks of wins. Here we go. Kelly and I had let me know about being on the FYF pod, the only one I hadn’t listened to, and I needed it just then. Thanks, LL. So little pause, guys. What that meant is I actually had shared one of Mary’s wins in an episode, and she got to hear her win again and relive that win, which is so needed, because sometimes you’re like, nothing’s going right, and then you remember some things were going right back then. So there you go. So that is exactly why you want to send your wins in. So thank you, Kelly, for telling Mary about it. All right, back to Mary. I needed a reminder from February to keep my head up as the studio is a little emptier in July, I wrote a newsletter about sharing our wins, and it was fun to see people write back about their weekly wins. Way to go. I love that. I love that you had your people, Sarah, their wins too. This is so fun. Met Kelly and I hand to work on her website. Gave me a break as I have a stress fracture on my left foot, to reach out to other instructors and try to stay sane as I don’t, I can’t do my cardio, I love my bike ride in the summer. I took a class with an instructor I met through LL, winter tour years ago, she opened a new studio. It’s fun to see what she’s been going on with a lovely day. Really working on my Pilates self-practice as I can’t do my pickleball or biking, making time to write my newsletters during classes that I had to cancel due to low turnout. A few folks in my membership have been giving me frustrated vibes this week, and I probably kindly, yes, it is usually user error, but treating them with kindness does help. I told my clients that I’m not making any decisions regarding moving for at least a year. This also helped me know that I have a timeline that is not immediate. My young gals in my entrepreneur group, so they are so impressed I continue to see coaching at my age. I’m not dead yet at 59. Mary, there are so many wins here, and I just want to highlight a couple things, you guys. So it is the summer, and she is using these empty hours to get ahead on some things, to help other people out, because then you’ll get to see, like, how awesome you are at something, and also to take the head on some things that you’d have to do. So she’s not doing them on other hours. She’s also taking care of herself, even though she’s injured. Huge, huge, huge. Finding ways to work around an injury is a big deal. That’s a win. And also, you know, it is a win to be kind and also honest with people when they’re screwing some things up. I love that, Mary. Thank you so much for sharing that with us.

Jennifer Hildebrandt, she’s an agency member, and here is her win. My win. After months, more accurately, years, of hemming, hawing, fawning, fretting and procrastinating, I finally sent out a letter to all my Zoom students who I’ve been teaching online since March 2020 informing them my rate increase, schedule changes and cancelation policy effective August 1st. In a panic, when the pandemic hit, I slashed my prices and eliminated my cancelation policy and literally, literally had no boundaries around my schedule. And I haven’t changed any of that all these years. Resentment, shame and embarrassment, along with a host of other thoughts and feelings, have been building up inside me. I was at a boiling point. Something had to be done. I got some great feedback from members, as well as some really helpful video responses from LL about how to approach this, which helped fortify my courage, gave me direction and motivated me to park my ass and write the damn letter. I took so many deep breaths, held myself in grace, compassion, understanding throughout the process, and then I hit send. I was filled with relief and peace that knowing that this act was a huge step and align my work with my life, I am so grateful, the strong, supportive energy of this group which helped me through this challenge. Way to go, Jennifer. You guys, sometimes you spend so much time thinking about the conversation you have to have with someone that you forget you create all the stress. You create all this worry. You create all the stories in your head. You got to know that as soon as you actually have the conversation, confrontation, you will have a huge flood of peace and relief because you said the thing, you did the thing, you took the step. So take the step. Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing your step with us so we can all celebrate that with you and be inspired by you. Some of you are gonna write a letter today.

All right guys, my win, eLevate round four has wrapped. Now, it doesn’t mean it’s goodbye from these amazing humans that I’ve been able to teach for the last nine months. It is actually like you’ve graduated and now you’re with the alumni, and we can continue to chat and answer questions and support you. And it’s just really cool. This is a really cool time. And when every eLevate round starts, it is overwhelming. People are at all different levels. They’re all different confidence levels, all different practice levels, all different levels of understanding what Pilates is, and it is really fun for me to help them find trust in their practice and trust in their bodies and trust in their method and to prioritize themselves, and so congratulations, round four, you are epic humans, and I am so, so, so grateful that you trusted me in your journey. Thank you for letting me share what my mentor passed along to me with you so that you can continue to pass it on to your students. And it’s not over, because now you’re in the alumni and now you can come to the alumni retreat, and when that, and also some of the stuff that we learn takes years to kind of come into your body, takes time, you know. So I’m so, so, so, so, so grateful, and I’m so proud of you, and it’s a win for me, because honestly, when we created eLevate, I was like, does anyone want this? Is this something people are going to need? Am I going to like doing it? And I do, I love doing it. I absolutely love doing it. And I created a program that changes people’s lives that I love doing and I think we all need to know that you can create things that support and have amazing impact on people that align with your work and your values and your needs and your goals. So that is a huge win. Get a few months off of actually, like eLevate-ish stuff we do quarterly calls and things like that. But round five will start in January. So in January, you’ll hear a win that I’m celebrating round five kicked off. Because, yes, it is a win, even if I do it every January. And if you are a teacher who’s interested in eLevate, you can reach out to us. If there’s spots left in 2025 we’d love to chat with you about it and go to lesleylogan.co/elevate.

All right, let me leave you with your mantra. Remember, these are random. I just scroll on down and see which one pops out, and it is, I am in charge of how I feel and I choose to feel happy. I am in charge of how I feel and I choose to feel happy. I am in charge of how I feel and I choose to feel happy. My loves, you are in charge of how you feel. Please choose to be happy. You are amazing. And until next time, Be It Till You See It.
