Boundaries are back!

We addressed the topic of boundaries recently on the podcast.

Here we’re taking a deeper dive. Because boundaries are important, y’all. 

Get into the weeds in my latest podcast episode, A Balancing Act with Coach Cat and Peter. 

In Episode 615, Coach Cat and Coach Peter consider acknowledging and articulating your boundaries and recognizing cues that they’ve been crossed. Learn to foster a culture that embodies your boundaries and helps keep your life in balance.  

Details of the discussion: 

• Learn Your Limits: Boundaries are critical for healthy relationships. Get introspective to get to know yours.
• Tune In: Know the signs that your boundaries have been crossed. Are you overwhelmed, resentful or indecisive? 
• Get Comfortable with Confrontation: When a boundary is broken, address it immediately to promote understanding.  
• Honor Your Time: Every studio owner breaks the boundary of time. Set up SOPs and org charts so you’re not on call 24/7.
• Communicate Your Culture: More than just some values hanging up somewhere, your code of honor should be alive and evident.

Take home bonus tips as well in Episode 615: practice explaining your boundaries, listen to your gut instincts, get good at saying no, delegate more and prioritize your wellbeing.

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,
Lisé

Cancer affects everyone. 

Although we may not have a diagnosis, we know people that do.

As prevalent as cancer is, it still feels uncomfortable to discuss. 

And yet, boutique fitness studios can play a significant role in coping with cancer. 

So we’re having that important conversation in my latest podcast episode, Exercise and Cancer: Science and Guidance for Fitness Professionals. 

Sit down with Coach Cara In Episode 614 as she talks with Tom Christensen, a certified exercise physiologist and research assistant at the Physical Activity and Cancer Lab at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Come away with important insights into how cancer changes lives and how exercise can help. 

At the core of the conversation: 

• Immense Impact: In the U.S., 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetime. For men, it’s 1 in 2. 
• Health Hijacker: Cancer (and its treatment) makes you sick, tired and weak. Plus, it can trigger stress, depression and anxiety. 
• Treatment Triad: We’re pretty much limited to cutting it out, nuking it or poisoning it. All of these are super hard on the body. 
• Concern for Caregivers: Patients get all the attention, but the lives of millions of caregivers also are negatively affected.
• Potent Prescription: Exercise has been shown to boost energy, strengthen the immune system, ease depression and much more.

Take a moment in Episode 614 to recognize the power – and responsibility – fitness professionals have to enhance the lives of people navigating cancer and their caregivers. As we come alongside them, we should be sure to embody empathy, flexibility and positivity.

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,

What’s critical to making, managing and multiplying money? 

Not your financial savvy.

Not your accountant.

It all starts with your beliefs.  

So take inventory of your thoughts in my latest podcast episode, Mindset Matters: The Beliefs That Are Erasing Your Profits, One Thought at a Time. 

In Episode 613, Coach Alina walks you through the importance of evaluating your beliefs about money and adopting a positive money mindset to boost your outlook and profitability.

The self-audit includes: 

• Know Your Numbers: Create detailed budgets and understand your P & L to make informed business decisions. 
• Reframe Sales: Sales doesn’t need to be pushy. Instead, be a solution provider passionate about helping people.
• Bigger ≠ Burnout: Growth is rewarding – and busy. But it’s behavior, not a bigger business, that leads to burnout.
• Price Right: Low prices mean less profitability. Use a value-based pricing model for smart sustainability.
• Flip the Script: Shift your money mindset by internalizing positive affirmations and envisioning success.

The bottom line: Every day, you have the power to make decisions that move you forward financially or set you back. Rewrite your limiting beliefs, realize opportunities and reimagine your financial future in Episode 613.

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,
Lisé
