It's Fuck Yeah Friday.

Brad Crowell 0:01

Fuck yeah.

Lesley Logan 0:05

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.

Lesley Logan 0:47

Hello, Be It babe. Welcome to your, probably your favorite podcast episode comes on a Friday. Honestly, most podcasts on Fridays are long and who has the time? And really, you just want to know that it's Friday. This is like the TGIF. Did you ever watch that, Brad? Did you get to watch TGIF?

Brad Crowell 1:01

No.

Lesley Logan 1:02

Your parents didn't let you?

Brad Crowell 1:03

No.

Lesley Logan 1:04

Oh my God, Family Matters, Step By Step?

Brad Crowell 1:07

Nope.

Lesley Logan 1:08

Oh so good. It was like two hours of like sitcom shows that were weekly episodes. And we lived for TGIF.

Brad Crowell 1:17

Yeah, I was allowed to watch, like, Mathnet and Reading Rainbow, and then we would go to TGIFriday's.

Lesley Logan 1:23

No, that's a lot of money.

Brad Crowell 1:25

Not the same.

Lesley Logan 1:25

Never, no, no, no.

Brad Crowell 1:28

Special occasions. Come on, let's be real.

Lesley Logan 1:30

Yeah. So this is the Fuck Yeah Friday. It's the adult version of TGIF, and it's actually where we celebrate some of your wins you've sent in, and some of ours.

Brad Crowell 1:38

Yes.

Lesley Logan 1:39

So we have Ainsley. We just got back from Cambodia with Ainsley.

Brad Crowell 1:42

We did.

Lesley Logan 1:43

And we're gonna see her in March. And she said, so this, obviously, this win is from a bit ago, because it's before, before Cambodia. But she said currently boarded and sat on the plane for Cambodia, that's got to be a huge win. 10 beautiful days filled with adventure Pilates and Pilates people, oh, and so far, there's no one sat next to me. I'm excited for the adventures that lay ahead.

Brad Crowell 2:07

Well, I could attest those were adventures.

Lesley Logan 2:10

They were amazing adventures.

Brad Crowell 2:12

It was incredible.

Lesley Logan 2:12

And that was Ainsley's two years in a row.

Brad Crowell 2:13

Yeah, second time joining us. Yeah.

Lesley Logan 2:16

Fabulous. Like, it's amazing. It was amazing to watch Ainsley do it a year again, like, in a row.

Brad Crowell 2:22

Yeah, your limit.

Lesley Logan 2:22

And just see how much her life has changed because of what she implemented from the last retreat. And now I can't even wait to see, no, we'll just see her in March at another retreat, so, here at the house, so I can't wait to see what she's implemented by then.

Brad Crowell 2:35

Yeah, it's gonna be amazing.

Lesley Logan 2:36

All right, we have Erin Donohue.

Brad Crowell 2:38

Okay.

Lesley Logan 2:38

She is an eLevate OG grad.

Brad Crowell 2:40

Oh, yeah.

Lesley Logan 2:41

And she wrote so many wins. Backstory to my personal win. With the help of Lesley Logan, my incredible partner, Kim Craig, and the amazing ladies in my eLevate cohort, I've realized my worth and found the strength to leave my emotionally abusive marriage. I had to quit my job in a private practice PT, and take a hospital-based job to get health insurance and a salary to pay my bills. After a year of hustling, I saved up enough money for the eLevate retreat in 2025. I can't wait. My practice win, I made time for movement snacks throughout the week. It helped me stay consistent. Today was 15 minutes on the chair before my afternoon client. My teaching win, I have a client who practices Pilates in a bigger body. She told me this week after a session, I never thought I'd find a form of exercise that I like, but I really like this. I am so honored to teach her.

Brad Crowell 3:26

Wow, that is a lot.

Lesley Logan 3:28

I'm emotional.

Brad Crowell 3:29

That is a lot.

Lesley Logan 3:30

I'm gonna cry. So first of all, a year ago, we're on winter tour, and on the day that this comes out, we'll have just seen Erin in Hershey, actually.

Brad Crowell 3:39

Oh, fun.

Lesley Logan 3:40

I don't know. Maybe not. Guys, don't ask. Two days from now, we're gonna see Erin in Hershey two days from now. Okay, so we're recording this in the past for the future. But she had said are you going to do the Elevate retreat again? ...
