Being Fuerte. It’s Time to Speak!
“Fuerte” means ‘strong’ in Spanish. This is a platform to talk about different topics and issues that affect our health and fitness. We will discuss upbringing, culture, beliefs, motivation, & specifics on working out. As well as, What gets in your way? I've devoted over these 20 yrs of developing my physical fitness and helping others to so do by integrating ‘self care’ into all aspects of life. We are going to exercise everything but the body that has to do with Health and Fitness! We are going to explore and share experiences of strength in our lives and how we applied that physical strength in the mental game of life. Develop a strong mindset so we don't have to be afraid of those hard things and push the excuses that get in our way. website: www.fuertefitness.com mail us at: fuertefitness@gmail.com or follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/fuertefitnessInstagram: @fuertefitness and @funkiecoldmedina
Being Fuerte. It’s Time to Speak!
How we grow up can be a rite of Passage.
I’m so excited have you all listen to this conversation discussing our first right of passage amongst two friends, a childhood friend Lina and a member of my fitness family, Mishele. Our last episodes describes rites of passage in more detail.
In this episode WE Speak about the challenge and skills we developed in finding our own path! You’ll hear about our upbringing and how WE honed into our resilience, self saficiancy and courage! By leaving home, getting an education, and healing trauma were able to change the trajectory of our lives. Across races and enthicities we found commonalities.
Lina taking kids through the educational pipeline and Mishele ability to use her a voice! Growing in small rural towns in the 90s, it wasn’t always considered an advantage to be different. I’m proud of my culture, the ability to speak both English and Spanish, and to be in fitness!
You may not want to listen with kids.
