00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,760
This is the Art Beauty podcast where we
tell the real truth about the fake shit.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:05,400
Hi, everybody.

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:06,000
I'm Amber.

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,320
Today my fabulous co-host
is a friend of the show, Casey Cohen,

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,240
and she is an ELI performer at Life Time
Fitness.

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,800
We're going to talk all about that.

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,000
And she's really here to help us
get our fitness goals in check in order.

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,040
Maybe you need a little fitspiration.

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,760
Maybe you have a ton of it yourself
and she'll comment on that as well.

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:32,160
But first of all, happy New Year and
welcome to the show, Casey Happy New Year.

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,520
Oh, man, I feel like getting through 2022.

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:37,200
I don't know about you,

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,240
but the end of the year
was like the last week of the year.

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,200
For me. It was a real drag.

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,040
It's interesting

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,320
because the last week, this past week
for me, like I because I'm so accessible

17
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,840
all the time with posting my schedule
and what I'm doing and where I am.

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,920
I decided that these last like this
last week specifically

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,240
because there's just been so much going on

20
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,200
in my personal side of things,
and I was like, You know what?

21
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,720
I'm going to like detach for the week
because it's not important

22
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,400
for everybody to have access to me.

23
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:11,040
It's important for me to, you know, live
in living the present moment

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,400
so that I can set myself up for success
or this new year.

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,680
Right. You know, it's interesting
you say that.

26
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,360
So I we do a podcast every week,
the last two weeks of the year,

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,760
I always take off
because or I don't have a show scheduled.

28
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:28,760
It gives me time to work on shows for the
upcoming year, but it also just gives me

29
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,920
a little bit of a mental break
for that last two weeks of the year.

30
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:34,080
Like you said,
to be a little bit more present.

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,920
A lot of people are spending time
with their families.

32
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,560
I try to do it with mine, you know,
and then just you get started

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,480
back up in 2023
and it seems like no matter

34
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,560
what industry you're in or what you do
or whether you're an influencer

35
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,440
on Instagram or whether you're
constantly connected or not, 20

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,600
The New Year always seems
sort of like a reset to everybody.

37
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,520
And, you know,
I feel like for so many people,

38
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,840
we had you on last year and I loved it

39
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,840
because you gave some real tough love
about how to reach your fitness goals.

40
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,000
And if you need to hear

41
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,960
a little bit of that,
I'm sure we'll talk about that today.

42
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,600
But you know,
now that the new year is kind of year,

43
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,000
I feel
like so many people are kind of back on.

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,120
Do you feel that like
do you see that in your line of work?

45
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,000
I mean, you must rightly gyms become
January 1st.

46
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:22,320
Yeah.

47
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,280
Like everyone's getting,
you know, booking the classes a week ahead

48
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,760
instead of like the night before.

49
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,840
They're getting more like disciplined
with how they're going to be living

50
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:31,920
their day to day life.

51
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:35,760
I think that I've been saying this
a lot in my classes just like

52
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,040
taking inventory of your life.

53
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,240
And I'm like, sometimes I'm guilty
of having all these subscriptions

54
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,640
or getting boxes of products from Amazon
to my house and not really doing

55
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:52,400
like a good overall inventory of like,
why do I need all these things?

56
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:52,800
Like,

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,320
I don't need an extra bottle
of set of fill or like,

58
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,800
why don't I regulate this more and like
push it back instead of every month?

59
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,760
So taking inventory on your own life
and seeing like, Hey, this year

60
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,160
I spend so much time on my career,
but other things I neglected, right?

61
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,120
So like,
maybe I need to make more of an effort,

62
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,520
like with the seeing my friends
or my relationship,

63
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,560
but you start to reexamine
how you're allocating your time.

64
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,080
I think that's super important.

65
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,840
Now for people who might not be aware,
you are like the ultimate,

66
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,240
I feel like fitness instructor.

67
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,360
We talked about it last time,

68
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,000
you know, where you fell in love
with indoor cycling and you were

69
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,840
taking like, I mean, sometimes
would you say like five classes a day for.

70
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,320
Sometimes
six more? Was I've ever taken a seven.

71
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,960
But that was just because my, my love for
it was so strong.

72
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,640
But also I noticed doing a regression
was not only was it my passion,

73
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,560
but it was filling a void at that time for
like training and educational purposes.

74
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,840
And like I wanted to become
so good at something.

75
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,720
I became so good at something, but it also
took away from other parts of my life,

76
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,040
even though I use and I and I'm
so grateful that I have this skill set

77
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,280
I needed to like allocate
that amount of time.

78
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,520
It's almost like a professional athlete,
like they need to put all this time

79
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,480
towards their craft,
towards tennis, towards practicing, right?

80
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,480
So that they become that good
so that I can actually teach it, right.

81
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,160
Instead of
just saying like, Oh, I'm a teacher.

82
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,400
Like, I don't live like that.

83
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,400
I live and breathe what I do.

84
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,440
So I spend a lot of time
studying the industry.

85
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,560
I mean, it's funny, you know,
you mentioned before professional athlete,

86
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,280
because I have to be honest, I knew you
as a professional athlete, Right?

87
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:34,960
You are.

88
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,920
No, I do.

89
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,080
I mean, for anybody
if you really want some fits break in,

90
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,080
check out her Instagram.

91
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,320
I think it's at Casey Elle Cohen

92
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,520
So impressive I can be on your page
forever.

93
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,360
You've got you know fabulous body images
and it shows that you really work for it.

94
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,400
And I love that you also
then share products that you like as well.

95
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,280
But to me, you are a professional athlete.

96
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:00,240
Which is like,

97
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:00,760
thank you,

98
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,880
Which is interesting
because like sometimes

99
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,560
if people don't understand what I do,
like the other day

100
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,680
I was having lunch with somebody
and I just said, you know,

101
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,120
I teach like about anywhere between
15 and 16, sometimes 20 classes a week

102
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,960
plus I'm taking class on top of that
because I'm keeping myself

103
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,160
involved in the ecosystem.

104
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,640
All different classes
and even just cycling,

105
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,960
like I'll go to a yoga class
or I'll do something else,

106
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,120
just show or boxing just to get myself
immersed in the different side of things

107
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,680
and see what people are doing
and how they're teaching.

108
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,640
Because the only way to become better
is to learn from other people.

109
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,720
I don't think one person
has everything right, so

110
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,000
the amount of class I'm taking
is is a lot, right?

111
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,240
And I have to listen every day to my body,
which is for the new year.

112
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,000
Like people will say, Should I be doing
all these classes and what should I do?

113
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,320
And you know, who do I console
and how do I get that way?

114
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,400
And it's it's more of like
if you love something, like

115
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,440
if somebody loves swimming
or somebody loves yoga,

116
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,480
you're going to gravitate towards
that a lot more

117
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,960
than coming in saying, Oh, I'm
going to come and take Casey's head class.

118
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,560
Right, right, right, right.

119
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,480
Like you might not like my style
of teaching because it's a little extreme.

120
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:15,760
It's not as normal in quotes as most other
people might want to go to a class.

121
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,240
Right.

122
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,120
You're going to be pushed in a different
way, both mentally and physically.

123
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,520
But when you find that person
that drives you.

124
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,160
Mm hmm.

125
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,240
That's the attachment

126
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,440
to getting in shape in general,
because you're like, Oh,

127
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,000
this person's going to push me
in this way.

128
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,040
I need that.
I need somebody to comfort me.

129
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,480
Some people really, really need that push.

130
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,080
You know,
you mentioned before, though, like

131
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,720
for for people who might just

132
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,520
be like starting on this fitness journey,

133
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,080
you know, Do you have any suggestions
for the best way to go about it?

134
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,320
Because you probably don't want to start
and and take five classes in one day

135
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,560
because it's probably one
I don't even know if you could,

136
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,800
but even if you could, your next two weeks
are going to be miserable

137
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,480
because you're gonna be hurting.
Right? So.

138
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,440
So do you have good ideas for how you can
kind of ramp up into a fitness routine?

139
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,080
Yeah, I think every obviously everyone
is different, right?

140
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,680
So like, what are you doing it?

141
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,840
Like, I would have to ask
a bunch of questions to lead up to that.

142
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,880
But if somebody is not moving at all,
I would suggest to just

143
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,720
like, go outside and like, start
with like a walk or something.

144
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,680
Maybe not even use your phone,
not compare yourself to other people.

145
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,000
Don't look at like even my Instagram
and say, Oh, wow, I want to look like this

146
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,280
or I want to be that because that's
that's not reality.

147
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,360
This is like my own profession, right?

148
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:38,000
So if you want to get to a certain level,
anybody can get to that certain level

149
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,360
with starting.

150
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,240
But in order to start,
you have to find stuff that you love.

151
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:42,800
Yeah.

152
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,880
So I would say like maybe go into a yoga
class, you're like, That's not for me.

153
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,520
Or Oh, what are your other friends doing?

154
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,800
Maybe you need help.

155
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,880
You need like a body, you need a community
to go into a new kind of find me

156
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,120
like your own way.

157
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,240
I don't always like to go to class
with other people because I'm

158
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,680
an instructor, and sometimes I just need
to, like, be with me.

159
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,040
And I don't even want to be
in the center of the room.

160
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,920
I'll ask, Can you push me to the side?

161
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,640
Because people know right away
that I'm in fitness.

162
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,720
I need to shut off you. Right?

163
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,880
So it's knowing what you need and
and how you can hold yourself accountable.

164
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,880
But getting a buddy, maybe somebody else
that's starting new in fitness or somebody

165
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,360
that's been in it for a long time
joining a gym.

166
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:29,760
Right.

167
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,440
So like, Lifetime is really amazing

168
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,320
because there's so many different classes
to try, right?

169
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,320
And there's so many different locations.

170
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,440
Maybe it's just even going to sit
in a sauna like it's doing something.

171
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,640
Right is on a there I miss on.

172
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,880
A chiropractor
Oh steam room and all the things

173
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,440
it's like the ultimate
like one stop shop luxury. Like

174
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,360
it's like a country club in my opinion.

175
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,600
So like for me as an instructor too,
I'm in a place

176
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,040
where I know I can take care of myself
and recover afterwards as well.

177
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,760
Like if I want to go sit in a steam room
or sauna, I have that ability.

178
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,880
Or I can take my other friends classes
or things like that.

179
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,960
So just finding that.

180
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,880
Is it's I love that
you said to find what you love.

181
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,040
And I also know that it can change.

182
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,080
I know personally
I used to love indoor cycling

183
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,360
during COVID,
then it kind of switched to weightlifting.

184
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,920
I love weightlifting.
It's really great for my body.

185
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,120
We bought a peloton in

186
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,800
in in early 2020

187
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,080
beginning of COVID and I was using it all
the time in the summers.

188
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,000
I don't use it at all.

189
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,920
So I literally just kind of brushed it off
and was like,

190
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,760
I'm going to do this again.

191
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,040
But you got to kind of ramp up
because I like to be outside.

192
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,920
I like to get my cardio outside, I like to
lift weights pretty much every day.

193
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:50,560
But I do

194
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:53,760
love you know, there's something about
being on the bike and sweating it out.

195
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,800
But I know I couldn't
make it to your class yet.

196
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,400
Like, I would need to work up
and you need to ramp up.

197
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,400
But I think sometimes,
like even 20 minutes can help

198
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,040
you kind of get there
because you don't want to

199
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,240
you don't want to try to overachieve,
right?

200
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,360
You do want to set yourself up
for failure. Failure.

201
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,280
So I agree.

202
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,400
But my class, like the way it's designed
it is.

203
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,960
It's for every level.

204
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,120
And there are people that I have currently
that might be in there

205
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,320
like eighties that walk into wow.

206
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:23,160
Okay.

207
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:28,200
Amazing and has nothing to do with really
like it's about what you say to yourself

208
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,880
and it's more
so than than physical in the long run

209
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,840
because you can get yourself
to do anything right.

210
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,840
So if you're feeding yourself with,
I can't do this, this is impossible.

211
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,360
It's just super hard, though.

212
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,480
You're not going to be able to get up.

213
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,520
But if you say, Oh, okay,
I can do like 10 seconds

214
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,120
or I can do 20 seconds,
I can build to this,

215
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,240
there's a place for everybody in the room,
and sometimes people will come up to me

216
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,440
afterwards and say, like, I felt like
the entire time you're speaking to me.

217
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,960
And it could be something that's
going through in my own personal life.

218
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:03,840
I try to draw from examples
because if I'm feeling it,

219
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,440
there's probably somebody in the room
that is feeling it or had experienced this

220
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,440
or being told
no or being put down in a job or

221
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,400
making that transition in a relationship,
or how did that break up?

222
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,800
So there's somebody in there

223
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,800
that needs to hear something
that I'm hopefully tapping into.

224
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,960
So a lot of this is release or it's reset
and then they're coming back

225
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,520
because they're seeing a result
both mentally and physically.

226
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,000
You know,
you bring up an interesting point

227
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,560
about sort
of changing your mindset, right?

228
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:36,600
Instead of saying, I can't do this, say,

229
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,960
you know, thank God
I have a body that is able to do this.

230
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:46,280
If even for 10 seconds, do you have sort
of along that line, any advice for people?

231
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:46,520
Right.

232
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,480
So so New Year, everybody's gung ho,
but I feel like, I don't know, at about

233
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,760
week two, a lot of those classes
that were impossible to get January

234
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,160
2nd, third, fourth, but

235
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,360
they start to open up a little bit more
because I think people kind of start to

236
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:01,360
fall off the wagon.

237
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,200
So do you feel like you have any advice
for people,

238
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:06,400
you know, on those days,

239
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,400
like when you just don't feel
like doing it

240
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,440
to kind of convince yourself
to get up there and and do it?

241
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,240
Yeah, I feel like there's
there's multiple ways around that, right?

242
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,280
Each person is different.

243
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,160
But like, again,
finding a body to hold accountable,

244
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,880
maybe making it
like some sort of vision board

245
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,040
where you can see it all the time
and you're like,

246
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,160
you're ripping off a piece of paper
and you're like 362

247
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,600
days of working out
and you're holding yourself

248
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,120
to that level of expectation
and like, set a goal for yourself.

249
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,960
I'm going to work out twice a week,
the first month, right?

250
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,920
So that way you're making sure
these little goals become big goals.

251
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,520
And then in February, it's three times
a week, you're adding on to it.

252
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,720
Each person is different

253
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,080
in terms
of what I'm seeing just in general,

254
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,040
a lot of people are putting up,
which I find fascinating on social media

255
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,480
stories, like I'm going
to not put so much expectation on myself.

256
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:00,680
I'm going to let things be.

257
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:03,720
I'm kind of going to let live
in the present more

258
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,720
instead of living,
you know, six months from now.

259
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,280
What is my goal?
Look, in six months from now.

260
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,480
And I agree with that
because a lot of the times,

261
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,560
even if you look at that as like a parent

262
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:17,000
or things like that, I'm going to build
this whole future for my kids

263
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,560
and then you're missing out on them
growing up, right?

264
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:23,040
So same thing with working out

265
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,800
if you're like in six months from now,
this is how I'm going to be.

266
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,960
Well, what about right this week?

267
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,800
Like break it down into a smaller goal
like these next few days,

268
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,120
I'm going to make sure
I get to workouts in the next week.

269
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,160
I'm going to make sure
I get three workouts in.

270
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:42,080
And that way, the little milestones
become a bigger set of goals.

271
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:42,960
That way.

272
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,000
Six months from now,
you're like, Wow, look at me.

273
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,320
Look what I did.

274
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,000
It's interesting.

275
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,760
I feel like we've spoken
to a lot of nutritionists

276
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,200
and that's always kind of the way
it's been with food, right?

277
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,120
You know, don't go on a diet like don't
go on this long term

278
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:57,120
because it's not obtainable.

279
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,680
You can set these lofty goals.
I got to lose £25.

280
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:00,680
I'm never going to eat sugar.

281
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:01,960
I'm going to cut out all booze

282
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,520
and that you kind of set yourself up to
fail when you said such extreme extremes.

283
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,960
So maybe the smaller, achievable goals
are good and then celebrate them, right?

284
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,480
Yeah, of course.

285
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,120
I mean, there's there's something I do

286
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,320
in my class that has taken me
a very long time to do it.

287
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,920
I present to everybody

288
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,640
this opportunity to do like like a
5 to 6 minute endurance program.

289
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Right? And it's not even about what it is.

290
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,800
It's what you tell yourself, what
you think you're going to be able to do.

291
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,520
Can you build this every single day,
even though things are changing around?

292
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:35,800
Right.

293
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,000
It's not always the same song,
the same duration, the same speed.

294
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,480
But if you have the foundation there
to pick yourself up, not anybody else

295
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,280
but you, that can be applied
to so many other things in your life.

296
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,760
So how
many classes are you teaching right now?

297
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,480
Right now, about 16, 17,
not including some of the new locations

298
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,760
opening in the next couple of weeks and

299
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,560
other surprises that are coming up. But

300
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,720
it's something that for me,
like somebody was like, Oh my God, you're

301
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:11,280
teaching five classes and it's different
than taking five classes, right?

302
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,960
Like being being on is

303
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,520
what's going on in my personal life,
what's going on in the back end.

304
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:18,480
I have to shut up.

305
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,960
And everything
is about the people in the room

306
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,120
to experience this amazing performance.

307
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,840
Right. As well as a workout.

308
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,360
And when I used to take all those classes,
I could just shut off

309
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,280
and be with me and then be like,
Why is the instructor tired?

310
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,720
Like, I'm not I'm not really sure.

311
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,200
And now I'm.

312
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,480
I'm learning a better balance.

313
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,400
Yeah, not everybody can teach
five in a day.

314
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,440
That's like,
that's an accomplishment in itself.

315
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,680
But I'm proud of myself
that I've gotten to that point where

316
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,240
I can actually shut off and teach five
no matter what's going on.

317
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,280
That's like that was a goal for me.

318
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:54,840
I mean, it's insane, right?

319
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,160
So I just know from podcasting in,
in bouts of 20 to 30 minutes and sometimes

320
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,760
I'll do five shows in a day and at the end
I'm exhausted because you have to be on.

321
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,560
I can't imagine adding to that
the amount of physical energy and stress.

322
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,240
Like I when I, I do a lot of peloton
weight classes

323
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,120
and I watch them here in my house
and even that sometimes I'm amazed.

324
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,000
I'm like, God, not only are they doing
the same exercises with me,

325
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,880
but they're talking through it
for the entire time.

326
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,160
So it is talking through.

327
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,160
It is on a whole other level. But like

328
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,200
I say, these I said this in my room
not too long ago.

329
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,200
Like, you know, I do celebrate people
that take a lot of classes.

330
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,800
It's a big accomplishment for somebody
if that's something that they want to do.

331
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,960
I want to take multiple classes of yours.

332
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:40,920
But that doesn't mean I'm

333
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,640
going to like glorify somebody
because somebody is taking five

334
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,960
and somebody's taking two
and each person is different, right?

335
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:48,480
Yeah.

336
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,560
But being able to speak through that
and and do

337
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,320
the exercises is on a whole other level.

338
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,400
And that's something
I will build up to that.

339
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,360
Yeah, you're right.

340
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,120
Like I do celebrate those moments
because not everybody can do that.

341
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,320
I have a question for you.

342
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,000
So because it has been a while
since I've been back in a room and

343
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,080
I you talk about, you know, when you're
taking classes, you can tune out.

344
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,440
I will say one of my favorite parts
of of indoor cycling

345
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,640
was that you could go
and you can shut your eyes.

346
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,040
You can be in your head. You're moving,
you've got the music.

347
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,120
You don't have to worry about somebody
hitting you.

348
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:27,920
You don't have to worry
about running into anything.

349
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,960
There is something very meditative
and special about it

350
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,680
and not as an instructor,
but as a taker of the class.

351
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,160
You can really kind of
get into your own head in whatever way

352
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,600
it needs to be while your body is moving.

353
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,360
Do you ever think that

354
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:44,960
there's a point when, like

355
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,360
but actually I'm
going to backtrack on that.

356
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:49,600
What I was saying before is
I haven't been in a class in a while.

357
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,720
Are classes
full again, like is it back to normal?

358
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:55,080
Pretty much.

359
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,920
I mean, where I am specifically?

360
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,640
Yeah, my classes are pretty full now.

361
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,880
Are people still masking? No. No, no.

362
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,360
No. Okay.

363
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,520
For a while in hot yoga,
people were masking,

364
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,840
you know, and we had to mask
and I was like.

365
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,320
I think that's a personal choice.

366
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,800
I don't. Very. Personal.

367
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,040
There is no way I even
when I was there, it's very it's

368
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,760
very challenging
to be speaking to that, Right?

369
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,280
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Okay.

370
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,400
But you think right now
and sort of in terms of like pandemic over

371
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,720
things are back to normal and I mean,
that must be pretty exciting for you

372
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,840
to kind of see
everybody back in the saddles.

373
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:30,120
Yeah.

374
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:35,240
I mean, I also I like that
we had this at home workout time

375
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,720
because I still think there's
a little mini hybrid,

376
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,600
you know, capability
with the digital components that people

377
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,400
are still doing at home workouts,
which I don't think people were or like.

378
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,960
More people are open to that as an option.

379
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,960
They didn't even think about, Oh,
I'm going to get a bike.

380
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,400
So yeah, I think that was that.

381
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,720
It's a great thing that happened for us.

382
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:56,360
Yeah.

383
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,080
That we have that opportunity now
to to work out in our own home.

384
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,680
But working out on the space
with other people.

385
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,240
There's nothing like it.

386
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,400
Yeah, there's nothing like it.

387
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,440
And just so many people.

388
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,720
There's a guy that came up to me
not too long ago

389
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,680
and something happened
and he is with an injury.

390
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,720
And he said to me,
you know, I was sitting in the hospital

391
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,240
and I was just like thinking to myself,
you know, if I reach if I reframe the way

392
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,560
I'm thinking about this, because Casey
always says in your class, you reframe

393
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,720
the way you're thinking about this,
like this isn't as bad as it could be.

394
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,640
And he said, like he would replay
certain things that I was saying.

395
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,880
And he came out and he came to my class
and he said, I just want to let you know,

396
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,640
like those words
specific thing that I was saying

397
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,440
got him through those moments,
like as an instructor,

398
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,640
being able
to reach more people in in class,

399
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,600
setting a studio setting as being
has been much more fulfilling

400
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,080
because I'm not sure
if I'm reaching people digitally.

401
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,120
Right. Right.

402
00:19:56,120 --> 00:20:01,000
In the future, right on digital,
because I don't teach on digital yet. But

403
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:03,280
having that

404
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,960
in-person connection
is huge for somebody's journey.

405
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:06,960
It is.

406
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,600
And there's nothing like that community,
because when you collectively,

407
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,640
no matter what level you are,
finish a class together.

408
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,480
Everybody feels in a sense
of accomplishment.

409
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,040
And one of the best things
that I learned years and years ago

410
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,000
from a trainer was nobody ever regrets
going to the gym, right?

411
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,080
Like, so there's I mean, granted, unless
you get super, super hurt but Right.

412
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,280
No going to a class, going to a gym,
that's not something you ever would be

413
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,840
like, Oh, man, I shouldn't have done that.

414
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,800
We can talk ourselves out of everything,
but sometimes you know why

415
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:37,920
like the homework on us?

416
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,800
Because when I'm like,
I don't want to do this.

417
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,000
I can't make an excuse
because it's not like,

418
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,840
Oh, they don't have a class in my time or,
oh, I got to get it's like,

419
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,360
just walk in the other room
and just do something.

420
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:49,920
And I find that a lot of the times,
even when I don't want to do it

421
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,200
and I start for five or 10 minutes,
I'll end up working out an hour

422
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,800
because once you get those endorphins
going, you're like, Oh, this isn't bad.

423
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,720
But I do
I do miss being back out in classes again.

424
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,760
And it is something that,
like I said, brushed off the peloton.

425
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,640
I'm going to work back up to it
because I want to get back out again.

426
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:07,760
Doing a 45 minute class.

427
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,160
I haven't done a 45 minute class in

428
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,000
three years.

429
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,640
Yeah, but I'm sure I'm sure you could,
even if you were doing totally increments.

430
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,320
Yeah. Yeah.

431
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,960
So, you know, I have a question
before we kind of let you go.

432
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,600
You you've always provide some great
inspiration and things that I take away.

433
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,960
I love this idea of reframing your
your mindset.

434
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,320
I have to ask,
do you as a fitness instructor,

435
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,400
like,
do you have any sort of goals for 2023

436
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,680
that you could share with us,
whether they're fitness related or not?

437
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,680
Yeah, like for me just being, you know,

438
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,520
I said this to somebody the other day,
like doing inventory, right?

439
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,360
And like putting the pillars up
that you have, like whether it be love or

440
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:56,400
friends or family or financial or your job
and getting those things in place

441
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,440
and realizing that I have like three
out of the five things.

442
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,040
Right, Right.

443
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,200
And looking at those other two and being
like, that's my main focus this year.

444
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,600
I'm going to focus on this
and I'm going to focus on this.

445
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,160
I don't like to share like major,
major goals

446
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,080
unless they're going to be happening.

447
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,600
But in terms of like career career wise,
like I've always said,

448
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:18,560
I'm going to be everywhere.

449
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,920
I'm like, there's big in the sense
that I'm going to impact other people,

450
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,280
not just for myself and like,
whatever that that means for me,

451
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,880
like being in the public eye
or having to share more and more stories.

452
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,800
I share are so much in the room

453
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,760
that there is a reason why I'm in a place
I'm supposed that I'm in.

454
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:36,800
And I believe that

455
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:39,680
what's meant for you will never pass.

456
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,040
I've been talking about the teaching
for so many years

457
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,080
and taking all these classes
and putting in that work

458
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,120
to make myself in a light
that will help other people.

459
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:52,440
That it has always been the main goal
and being global,

460
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,200
whether it be for cycling
or head or strength, whatever it might be.

461
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,640
So that's definitely going to be a goal
wherever that leads.

462
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,800
But then also, just again,
like letting things happen

463
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,120
the way they should stop
putting so much pressure on, like

464
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:10,040
when people are like, Oh, you know,
I have to get married by X, Y, Z date.

465
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,680
It's like, why don't you just like,
live in that relationship

466
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,640
and you don't need to always share
so many things that are private, right?

467
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,280
I think that that's a goal of mine too.

468
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,320
Is that being so open on social media?

469
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,240
I've been doing a really good job

470
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,960
privately holding in those moments
that I don't always need to share.

471
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,520
I saw a friend of mine

472
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,760
who got married in April and she didn't
share it until like December.

473
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,000
And I think that like holding
those moments

474
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,520
that are just true for you
and other people are so valuable.

475
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,320
You don't need to put everything out
there all the time. Right?

476
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,160
That is
so important to me, especially with 2023,

477
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,560
just like living in those spaces

478
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,040
that mean something to me that might not
mean so much to other people.

479
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,520
That is such a wonderful thing to say.

480
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,400
And I do think, you know, going into 2023,
so many people are still tied

481
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,400
to their phones, right?

482
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,480
You go on vacation with some friends
and everybody's like too busy

483
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,120
filming something to sort of
take a look around at that.

484
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:10,280
So I feel like that
that really just resonated with me.

485
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,040
So I'm going to try to take that into live
a little bit more in the moment.

486
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,480
I love before what you said

487
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,360
at the start of the podcast,
you're seeing a lot of people

488
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:18,400
who are not putting
so much pressure on themselves.

489
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,720
I think that that's hard to do,
especially look, we live in New York.

490
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,640
New York is a lot of high

491
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,680
achieving, high goal setting people.

492
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,120
So sometimes it's hard
not to compare yourself.

493
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:34,000
But we're all different.

494
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,160
We all have a different path.

495
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,360
You know, we're all different.

496
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:39,640
And it's so interesting
because when I first

497
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:40,960
wanted to become an instructor,

498
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,800
I had a lot of people,
like in their own way, be like

499
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,720
either say things that were like kind of
passive aggressive or like encourage me.

500
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,280
Some people were open to it.

501
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,600
And I think that no matter what, like
if I saw somebody that wanted to teach,

502
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,400
like they're not me and I'm not them
and there's space for everybody.

503
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,840
So like, I want to do something,
you do it, you find those people.

504
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,280
I have like a team around me
that are super supportive

505
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,960
and like, even certain people were like,
Are you sure you want to do this?

506
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:09,400
It's like,

507
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,320
No, I'm sure I'm I want to do this
and this is what I'm going to do.

508
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,160
So like, either you're for me or not,
but no matter what,

509
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,800
I'm going to push myself up
because this is what I'm destined to do.

510
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,080
So if you do come across those people,
you got to trust your gut.

511
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:27,880
You got to know exactly what your skillset
is, what you're capable of.

512
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,040
Nobody is you.

513
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,520
So no matter what,
if anybody wants to do a podcast

514
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,600
or be an editor or like go into beauty
or be an instructor,

515
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,240
nobody is going to do
you do or say what I say and what I say.

516
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,680
So like once
you heal yourself in your confidence

517
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,920
and you step into your power
like you become severely unstoppable.

518
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:50,880
Oh, I love that.

519
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,120
And I feel like so
many people need to hear that right now.

520
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:53,880
And P.S.,

521
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:54,360
by the way,

522
00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:55,840
I've had people reach out to me
and they're like,

523
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,960
I want to get into podcasting, this, that
or the other.

524
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,240
I'm always ready to help you.

525
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,440
I mean, that is something

526
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:06,120
I feel like we need to lift each other up
as a community, as a society.

527
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,280
So if anybody ever has questions
about that, you know,

528
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,360
you can always reach out to me
because I'm happy to do that.

529
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:14,160
And I love that
You said nobody is ever going to do things

530
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,320
the way that you do them and
there is space for everybody to succeed.

531
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:19,920
There really is.

532
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:20,640
Yeah.

533
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,400
I mean, absolutely, Especially
because of how I came up through that.

534
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,200
I was said different things or like said,
Oh, you're not good enough or oh,

535
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,160
you're not going to know what to do or
but they don't know you.

536
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,280
They don't know me,
they don't know where I've come from.

537
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,800
They don't know my training,
they don't know my background,

538
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,000
you know, especially with casting
or auditions, people will say,

539
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,680
Oh, you're not good enough, or Oh,
this person looks a certain way.

540
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:45,240
That's nice.

541
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,320
Like they look a certain way,
Like that's them.

542
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,080
That's not me.

543
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,320
So again, like,
you have to trust yourself.

544
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,280
I mean, I'll tell you this,
if you're trying to get into

545
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,520
any kind of acting or on camera, anything,
you have to have tough skin.

546
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:57,240
You do.

547
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,920
Because you mentioned audition casting
like you could be the most perfect part,

548
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,960
but half of the time
you will go into a room.

549
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,040
And my dad was in film and television.
He taught me this.

550
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,800
He's like,
They already know what they want

551
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,360
and you're either going to fit it
or you're not. And it's not.

552
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:14,160
You could give the best performance,
but if they're looking for a blond fitness

553
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,040
instructor
and I walk in, it doesn't matter.

554
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,360
I could
I could give a Shakespeare performance.

555
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,400
They're not going to do it right.

556
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,200
That in divine
timing is a really interesting thing.

557
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,240
Yes, sure.

558
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:29,280
Like, so like if somebody were to ask me
last year at this time, I was in not

559
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,760
well, let me phrase it in a positive way.

560
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,920
I'm in the best environment I could be in
for my career right now, possible.

561
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:39,360
So I'm open to all these other things.

562
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:43,160
Last year at this time,
I was unfortunately not in that position,

563
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,760
so I was closed off
to a lot of other things. Right?

564
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,920
So when you heal yourself through through
channels, you become open, right?

565
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,720
Where somebody if I meet them
even as a friend or other things,

566
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,040
they could be in a position
where they're like rebuilding

567
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,800
certain aspects of their life.

568
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,040
Divine timing is a very interesting thing.

569
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,640
If people meet even just friends
as acquaintances

570
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,120
when time aligns, that's when things
are supposed to happen for you.

571
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:11,880
I love that you just said that.

572
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,080
And I do want to kind of reiterate
and point out that you just said

573
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,840
that you are in the best place right now
and that maybe we're in a year ago.

574
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,560
And for anybody who might be in that place
right now where you're like,

575
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:23,880
I'm not feeling my best.

576
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,920
I've had me personally, ups and downs
this past year.

577
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,560
Give yourself time, trust the process.

578
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:30,960
Also know

579
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,800
that that you know, my grandmother
used to say this to social change, right?

580
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,920
So if you're in that down period,
like let let yourself

581
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,640
be there, let yourself heal,
let yourself have that time and know that

582
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,200
because you're allowing yourself
that time now to heal,

583
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,120
you were going to come out
stronger and better and,

584
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,560
you know, ready to take on the world,
which it seems like you are right now.

585
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,200
Casey Yeah, I'm there.

586
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,440
I'm very grateful for how I did

587
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,480
just in terms of like fitness and

588
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,520
and where I'm at in a personal note
because when you're not working

589
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,680
on yourself and you're not giving yourself
time to reflect and look back and say,

590
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,880
Oh, those things had to happen
the way that they did,

591
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,640
even though I wasn't happy
during some of those points,

592
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,560
they had to happen
that way for me to be where I am now.

593
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,600
And that's super important.

594
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,280
No matter where you're at,
No one, no one, regardless

595
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,920
to what they're posting on
their Instagram, is happy 24 seven.

596
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,440
It's just not real.

597
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,800
It doesn't make sense, right?

598
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,080
Especially with a career.

599
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,280
It looks like it happened overnight,
but things don't happen overnight.

600
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,880
Things are happening
when the lights are off.

601
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,560
So when the lights come on, you're you're
ready to step up into that place, right?

602
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,520
So amazing.

603
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,560
Yes. Social media is the highlight
reel of our lives, right?

604
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,760
You know, it is. It is.

605
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,840
You know,
so now that you are ready to take on 2023,

606
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,800
if people want to find you, people
want to come and be inspired by you.

607
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,720
Where's the best place to find you?

608
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,960
So I am obviously teaching.

609
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,120
So they're more than welcome to either
drop in for a day pass or a monthly

610
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,960
basis lifetime. I have a link to that.

611
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,560
And then I'm on social media,
all platforms at Casey.

612
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:14,680
I'll come in and I'm happy to answer
any that you might need except for food

613
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,240
related questions or playlist,
because I don't talk about food.

614
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,560
I'm not a registered dietitian
or nutritionist,

615
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,880
and I don't care about my playlist
because I listen to music all day long.

616
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,880
And unless you come to my class,

617
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,400
Shazam all day,
that's something that I take pride it.

618
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,280
I mean, you should listen
to a great workout playlist.

619
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:37,600
You know, it's been a while.

620
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,800
I've been married now for 13 years,
but I had a break up playlist

621
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,480
that was so inspiring and like that
I would share with my girlfriends

622
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,560
because it was like that thing
that you needed to hear.

623
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,040
But man, music can move you
and whenever I take a class,

624
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,040
you're great music
that is your intellectual property.

625
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,320
You've put the time
that is part of your job.

626
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,360
So now don't share that with anybody.

627
00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:59,520
I support that.

628
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,000
I'm jealous because I love beer.

629
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,200
But guess what that means
We're going to have to go to your class.

630
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,440
I want to thank you so much for being
on the bus, for giving us your time today.

631
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,840
It's always
you have inspired new information

632
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,840
and I hope that maybe it's
just giving anybody who needs a little bit

633
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:20,000
more motivation or encouragement
or permission to just chill that.

634
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,240
They got that from this podcast today.

635
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,680
Well, thank you so much for having me.

636
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,160
I love these talks Always.

637
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:27,480
