Are you wheeling around a pile of emotional baggage you’ve mistakenly labeled as your identity? In this recap episode, Lesley Logan and Brad Crowell dive into the transformative insights shared by Shari Teigman, a dynamic performance coach and creative business strategist who specializes in guiding high achievers through major life transitions. Shari reveals why coming undone is the prerequisite for authenticity, especially for those navigating midlife identity shifts. The hosts break down the red shoes metaphor, the necessity of active emotional release, and why joy requires going massively deep internally.

So you ultimately have to understand why you keep repacking the same thing in order to finally get a chance to make any real choices. So I love this because, like, I feel like some people think that they're self-sabotaging, or they're in the same spiral, and it's like, yeah, but you kept packing the same stuff, expecting a new result.

Brad Crowell 0:18

Or you're carrying around the old shit.

Lesley Logan 0:19

Yes but and you just keep repacking the old shit, and that's why you don't get anything new.

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 Pilate instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained 1000s 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.

Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I

We have to say we've got some fun stuff to talk about, and then go listen that one. But you cannot miss it.

Lesley Logan 1:29

Brad Crowell 1:32

We should tell her when we're in London.

Lesley Logan 1:33

I don't know how we're gonna fit in another meal, but like, she can meet me for I don't know. She's great. Anyway.,

Brad Crowell 1:39

She might be in New York. She lives between the two.

Lesley Logan 1:42

She does live between the two. You know what? Then, if she doesn't at least we reached out. But, you know, at least we reached out. The sign that you have ADHD is that you want to hang out with someone, and then you hope that they're not available.

Lesley Logan 1:53

Okay, today, while you guys are listening to this is April 30th 2026 and today we're bringing awareness to two things.
