Sarah Alysse Bobo 0:00

A lot of us tell ourselves these stories and really believe it. And I said I want to change this because I don't want this to be a continual generational trauma, if you will, for family, for generations, and it's something that I noticed my mom would do to herself, and I needed to make it stop.

Lesley Logan 0:20

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 guest 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.

All right, babes, you know what I just sang in my head? That is going to only, it's a nerdy joke, but I was just, I can't sing. But it was just like, let's talk about stress, baby. That's what this episode is about. I won't keep singing the song because I'm obviously not (inaudible) I can't sing. And if you don't know that that was making fun of another song, then you need to get out into the 80s and 90s rap a little bit more. I'm just saying. Sarah Alysse Bobo is our guest today. She is so funny. We were introduced by Jessica Papineau, which you all know her from the pod, and I did not know that she was a Pilates instructor when I was introduced to her. What I knew is that she's multifaceted person. She does improv and confidence coaching and all this amazing stuff. But more importantly, she goes into court places, and she helps people with stress management. And don't we all need someone to help us manage our stress a little bit. So we get to go on a journey with her and hear how she got into that, and also the tools she uses to kind of have some awareness. And the good news is a lot of them are free, so you can try them out yourself, and then make sure you reach out to Sarah Alysse and let her know how they worked in your life, and also share this with a friend who needs it. Here is Sarah Alysse.

All right, Be It babe, this is gonna be a really fun convo, because today's guest and I have already had multiple conversations before, and she is super cool, one of those friendships where, like, I totally missed a call, time zone problems, different things. I happen to be on this amazing person's podcast, but she was introduced by a mutual friend, whom we all have loved, who's been on the podcast before. So Sarah Alysse Bobo, can you tell everyone who you are and what you rock at?

Sarah Alysse Bobo 2:29

Yes, my name is Sarah Alysse Bobo, and I am a stress management consultant, but I also love, love, love Pilates. That was my first job post college, and I just love that Lesley and I can connect on that, and I still am very much so in the fitness world. So I'm very excited for this conversation.

Lesley Logan 2:50

I know I love that you're not just a fitness trainer., you actually teach Pilates. you know what it is, you know all the things about it. But I guess why I want to start is, how do you go from a Pilates instructor to a stress management I mean, like, what, that feels like a big, it's just not a big leap. It makes sense we get people in class all the time or distress cases. But what was the impetus? How did we do it?

Sarah Alysse Bobo 3:12
