Transcript

Krys [0:10 - 0:51]: Welcome back to the Fit Like Krys podcast. I am joined by a very special guest today. Welcome, Brittany. Some of you already know her if you're FLK Method member, but we're going to get to know her a little more. But before I dive into the episode, I just want to say thank you for listening. And if you have not hit that little. There's like, a little. I think it's a heart. Depends on what you're listening. But there's definitely some place to like this podcast, to share this podcast. So, like, pause me real quick and go do that and then come back. Okay, we're back. Fancy. I'm actually going to start by. Well, first of all, thank you for coming. 

Brittany [0:51 - 0:54]: Thank you. And for inviting me. I'm already stuttering. 

Krys [0:54 - 1:31]: Um, Britney's nervous, and we're talking about confidence today, so it's great. I mean, working on it. Yeah. And this is exactly why I wanted to talk to you about this, because you were just, like, the poster child for transformation. So before we get into that, I would love, like, a little, you know, pretend people just, like, have no idea who you are. Give us, like, a little Britney. What do you do? Obviously, you're a FLK Method instructor, but, like, what else do you do? What are your passions? Just give us, like, a quick. Who is Britney? What? 

Brittany [1:32 - 1:38]: Let's see. So what do I do for work? I am a regulatory affairs manager for a cosmetic company. 

Krys [1:38 - 1:39]: What does that mean? 

Brittany [1:39 - 1:41]: Don't ask me. 

Krys [1:41 - 1:44]: Nobody knows. Are you logged in right now? I am not. 

Brittany [1:44 - 1:45]: I took a half day for this. 

Krys [1:45 - 1:49]: Oh, good. Okay. So you're by the book, vacation time. Okay. 

Brittany [1:49 - 2:02]: But I've been at that company for 20 years, so it is the only thing I have ever done. And then, I don't know, fitness became, like, a passion of mine probably like, about, like, eight or nine years ago. 

Krys [2:02 - 2:03]: Okay. 

Brittany [2:04 - 2:25]: And then I got my personal. Personal training certificate during COVID and because there was nothing else to do, smart things like that. But I. My fitness journey really started because I got diagnosed with autoimmune disease when I was 20, and kind of like a similar story to you. They told me not to work out. 

Krys [2:25 - 2:26]: Right. 

Brittany [2:26 - 2:35]: So eventually, after a couple years of not doing anything and also being in my early 20s and partying, whatever, by like, 25, I was like, I need to do something. 

Krys [2:35 - 2:36]: Yeah. Yeah. 

Brittany [2:36 - 2:38]: So that's kind of how it. It started. 

Krys [2:39 - 2:47]: What was the first, like, workout you did? Do you remember, like, what kind of workout you did? Was it like you walking into a gym and figuring it out? 

Brittany [2:47 - 2:49]: I feel like that's your. I went to a gym. 

Krys [2:49 - 2:50]: Yeah. 

Brittany [2:50 - 3:03]: My brother came with me because he was really big into working out and still is, but he came with me to like sort of show me how to use the machines and the layout of it. And then he sort of like put together like a little bit of like a workout plan for me. 

Krys [3:03 - 3:03]: Oh, nice. 

Brittany [3:03 - 3:10]: Like into it. Yeah, yeah. So that's how it. It started, like my workout journey. 

Krys [3:10 - 3:14]: Why don't I know how you found FLK Method? I. I'm blanking. 

Brittany [3:14 - 3:19]: So I found it through a friend who tagged me in one of your challenges. 

Krys [3:19 - 3:21]: Okay. We do every month. 

Brittany [3:21 - 3:24]: Yes. And I've done like every one of them ever. 

Krys [3:25 - 3:29]: Yeah, you're so good. And now you're an instructor but you still do the challenges. 

Brittany [3:29 - 3:46]: Challenges try and do everything, but yeah, so she tagged me in that. And that's how I actually found you previous. Because you were working at a previous studio. But I never took like any of your in person classes. I had only taken spin there a couple of times. And then when I. When she tagged me in the challenge, that's how I found you again. 

Krys [3:46 - 3:48]: And then do you remember what challenge it was? 

Brittany [3:48 - 3:58]: I think it was spooky sculpt because I think it was like right when you just had like left the other place and was just starting fk method. And then I think I joined as like a member in like February or. 

Krys [3:58 - 4:01]: March, like right after that of 21. 

Brittany [4:01 - 4:02]: 21, yeah. 

Krys [4:02 - 4:03]: 21. Okay. 

Brittany [4:04 - 4:09]: Because the gyms were still closed. I was still sick to do so. Yeah. 

Krys [4:09 - 4:19]: And then so from, um. So you joined during COVID We were virtual for a while then. I mean, you still work out in person? You go to the gym? 

Brittany [4:19 - 4:20]: Yeah, I go to the gym every day. 

Krys [4:20 - 4:21]: Every day? 

Brittany [4:21 - 4:22]: Six, five to six days a week. 

Krys [4:22 - 4:39]: Beast. Um, I'm actually curious. So like you go to the gym every day. You are taking FLK Method classes when you're not teaching them. So impressive. What is the difference between the two and like what do you get from each? 

Brittany [4:40 - 5:10]: So I obviously started doing FLK Method because I had no other options and. But when the gyms reopened, I didn't want to give that up because I really like, I enjoyed you. I enjoyed your class. Like you were obviously a major part of why I decided to keep doing this, but I just enjoyed like the different types of classes. Like I go to the gym and I lift weights, but that's all I'm doing there. I'm not taking classes. I mean, I know people and I talk to people, but. 

Krys [5:11 - 5:12]: It'S Different. 

Brittany [5:12 - 5:34]: Whereas, like, with FLK method, it became more of a community. I like the challenges. I like that it was different classes every day and I was just getting. I'm getting what I need out of both. Like, I'm getting a little bit variety, heavier lifting out of going to the gym and doing that. And then I'm getting, like, you know, everything else that I could possibly want to do through FLK method. 

Krys [5:34 - 5:51]: Yeah. Back to the autoimmune disease. There are so many, you know, the name is irrelevant. No one knows. Right. But, like, what's the side of effect? I mean, you could tell us what it is, but what's sort of like the. What happens or why did they tell you to not work out? 

Brittany [5:51 - 6:11]: So I have something called myasthenia gravis, and it causes my muscles not to contract. So basically problematic. I work out problematic, the more tired I get. So that's why they suggested I don't work out. But I take medication for it four times a day or every four hours, depending how long. 

Krys [6:11 - 6:13]: How long have you been doing that? 

Brittany [6:13 - 6:15]: Since I was 20, so 16 years. 

Krys [6:15 - 6:16]: Wow. 

Brittany [6:16 - 6:17]: Yeah. So that. 

Krys [6:18 - 6:21]: It's wild. Yeah, it's just one pill. 

Brittany [6:21 - 6:22]: I take one pill every four hours. 

Krys [6:22 - 6:24]: What happens if you don't take it? 

Brittany [6:24 - 6:33]: I get like. I feel very, like, fatigued. My muscles get very tired or, like, very heavy. It's like, you know when you're like, super just, like, worn out. 

Krys [6:33 - 6:33]: Yes. 

Brittany [6:34 - 6:34]: Feel heavy. 

Krys [6:34 - 6:35]: Yes. 

Brittany [6:35 - 6:36]: That's what I feel like a lot of times. 

Krys [6:36 - 6:41]: Have you tried to take yourself off the medication? Yeah, yeah, I did that too. Not really. 

Brittany [6:41 - 6:43]: Like, I like, oh, wait, I can't get out of bed. 

Krys [6:43 - 6:46]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Try it. 

Brittany [6:46 - 6:54]: Yeah. You know, but it's worth a shot. You know, even my doctor was like, you can try. People go into remission from it. Yeah. Hasn't happened. 

Krys [6:54 - 7:25]: Yeah. So this medicine allows you to live to move? Yeah, yeah. To move. That's incredible. Yeah. And then have you, like, when you're working out? Because I know. I didn't know for a while, but then you told me. And I think you told me because either, like, you didn't want me to think you weren't. I. You weren't listening to me. You were like, just so you know. So tell people about what kind of happens to you when you're in the middle of a workout. 

Brittany [7:25 - 7:46]: So sometimes I can be. If I do, like, too much, like, things just give out. So, like, my arm will give out or, like, my leg will give out. And so I think. I think it might have been at Like a pulse in person or something where I finally had to be like, if I'm not doing pushups, it's just because I physically, like, can't lower myself down and pick myself up. 

Krys [7:46 - 8:35]: Yeah. And I. And so we talked a little bit about it, but I remember, like, this is why you cannot judge a book by its cover, you know, because you were so fit. I mean, your body is, you know, insane. Like, you would come to my classes, and I would be like, why is she coming here? Like, she's ripped. And so you'd be doing something. And I'd be like, why? Like, in my head, I'd be like, let's go. You know, And I think I did that too many times. And you were like, listen, okay. Like, I literally can't. And I was like, okay. So I tell the story all the time behind the scenes to people, like, more than you probably are comfortable with. But I tell people how you used to come to class, and this is probably for at least a year, if not two, where you did not say a word. 

Brittany [8:35 - 8:35]: Nope. 

Krys [8:35 - 8:37]: Not even a hello. 

Brittany [8:37 - 8:41]: I feel like, just go hide in the corner. 

Krys [8:41 - 9:11]: Like, you walked in and you just would, like, go to your mat, work out and leave. Like, it was so confusing. I was like, did she. Like, you were. And I don't. I don't. I don't know. Because obviously, like, I try to also pull people out, but even when I did, it would be like, a one word. It was very hard to, like, were you like that in general? Like, everywhere? 

Brittany [9:11 - 9:15]: Alcohol helped it not be like that, but that doesn't work out. 

Krys [9:16 - 9:17]: Yeah. 

Brittany [9:18 - 9:18]: Yeah. 

Krys [9:18 - 9:56]: Do you know, like, if you're looking back because you're not like that anymore, and even if you have elements of that, you are so far beyond that, which we're going to talk about. But is there anything you can. Like. I don't want to say the word blame, but, like, is there any reason why you think that you were like that? Is there anything you can point to something that you've. Some. There are a lot of things. But is there one specific thing that changed that shifted not a moment, but, like, more like an action, like, from you. Is there anything you do differently or that you didn't do before that was, like, holding you back? 

Brittany [9:57 - 10:18]: I don't know that I can think of, like, one specific thing. I think that I was like. I've always just been. At least I feel like I've always been kind of shy and obviously, like, whatever. Social anxiety or whatever you want to call it. But honestly, I. I started Therapy two years ago. And that really helped. 

Krys [10:18 - 10:20]: Okay, there you go. 

Brittany [10:20 - 10:28]: So I think that that might have been the like, kind of a little bit of the turning point. I think doing teacher training eventually started to help that too. 

Krys [10:28 - 10:37]: And so let's kind of go right into that. So then you went from not speaking a word to me for years to. 

Brittany [10:37 - 10:38]: It wasn't you, I swear. 

Krys [10:38 - 11:21]: Well, I know that now. To signing up for my retreat, my first retreat in Poconos. And I was like, okay, we're gonna talk random. The most random, you know, ex expectation. Like, I was like, of course, you know, and then we get there and it was literally, it was hours, it was maybe a couple hours. And I remember a specific point where I was doing something else and I heard you having a full blown conversation. And I was like, I have never heard her talk before. I was like, she is. And the whole weekend you were just. 

Brittany [11:22 - 11:27]: I was trying. I was just like, shut this girl up. 

Krys [11:27 - 11:35]: I was shocked. But since that time, it has been sort of like a new Britney that. 

Brittany [11:35 - 11:39]: I tell people all the time that that retreat changed my life. 

Krys [11:39 - 11:42]: What happened? I couldn't even. 

Brittany [11:43 - 11:49]: I think it was because I was just starting teacher training, so I kind of knew I had to talk. 

Krys [11:49 - 11:49]: I was gonna. 

Brittany [11:49 - 11:56]: You, like we. My very first time coming to your house, you were like, you have to say something. I was like, I don't know what to say. 

Krys [11:57 - 11:59]: I was like, you gotta just start. Just go like this. 

Brittany [11:59 - 12:17]: Like, just let it out. Yeah, but, yeah, I don't know. I wanted to like push myself out of my comfort zone. So that was coming to the retreat in general. And then I realized there we were, you were doing like our, like our card readings and commentero. 

Krys [12:17 - 12:19]: Card reader, by the way. You didn't know. 

Brittany [12:20 - 13:13]: So you were. We were downstairs and you were doing the card readings. And the point of it was like some point of it was like, you need to start doing stuff for yourself or you don't normally do things for yourself. And it was like clicked because that's what I had been thinking. Like, teacher training was the first thing I've ever decided to do for myself. Someone didn't tell me how to do it, someone didn't tell me to sign up for it. Like, I got my job because of somebody I knew. I, like, I went to school where I was told to go. Like, I did everything in my whole life where I was told to do. And so this was the first thing I was doing for myself. And then when you, like when I read that, like you read that card to me. And I was like, I'm doing. I felt like I was, okay, I'm doing the right thing or in the right place. And then, I don't know, it was just like everybody's so, like, nice and it was so fun. And I felt. I guess safe is a. Is like a word that like, I just. So I opened up a little more, I guess. 

Krys [13:13 - 13:54]: So before you felt safe, right. Before you knew it was. It was safe and you didn't really know what to expect. And I'm speaking to sort of the general population of people who are shy, reserved, who are scared. What's the. Like, how do you go from I'm scared to talk to. I'm going to go to this retreat or I'm going to become an instructor. Like, what's the step look like in your experience? Like, not. We're not giving, like. 

Brittany [13:54 - 13:54]: Yeah. 

Krys [13:54 - 14:13]: Any advice that's, you know, revolutionary. Just like your experience of like, what happened in your life and in your mind that helped you to. Or that moved you from that place to polar opposite in my eyes, I. 

Brittany [14:13 - 14:23]: Guess it was like just feeling so, like I felt so stuck for so long and it was like, I can be uncomfortable and stuck in this feeling. 

Krys [14:24 - 14:26]: Oof, powerful. That's good. 

Brittany [14:26 - 14:49]: Or I can try and be uncomfortable and it could, it could work out. Like, I'm one of those people that's going to overthink everything we talk about today when I leave here. But 99% of the time that I've left a situation in the last two years that I've been so uncomfortable to go to or something I've been so uncomfortable to try and do has been amazing. 

Krys [14:49 - 14:49]: Yeah. 

Brittany [14:49 - 15:00]: You know, and the more I did it, like, I think like the first time, like, I was like, I'm going to come to your Krystmas party. And I did. I think I stood in the corner and really didn't talk to anybody. You, like, grabbed my hand and like, dragged me. 

Krys [15:00 - 15:01]: I did. 

Brittany [15:01 - 15:02]: Two people. 

Krys [15:02 - 15:02]: Yes, I did. 

Brittany [15:02 - 15:19]: And I was uncomfortable and I did it. Whatever. And they got. And then it just got, like, easier. I was like, well, if I can go to post in person every week, if I can go to this party or that, or then it was like, I'm going to go to the retreat because I really like going to pulse in person. You probably didn't realize that, but I like being around. 

Krys [15:19 - 15:20]: You were there every week. Yeah. 

Brittany [15:20 - 15:28]: You know, like, it just was like, the more I do it, I guess it was immersion therapy. Just stick yourself into it, see what happens. 

Krys [15:29 - 15:50]: Yeah. I mean, the Key. There is just that discomfort. We're feeling it on both paths and everywhere in between. Like, when you hate your life, when you're miserable, when you're depressed, like, that's uncomfortable. So, like, if you can do that, you can also be uncomfortable in things that are unknown. 

Brittany [15:50 - 16:12]: And it's. It's so much more rewarding. Like, I've sat, like, I mean, sure, a lot of us have sat in that discomfort, depression, whatever, for however long, too long, you know, maybe just a short period of time, but it's. It's so much more rewarding. I. Now I'm realizing it's so much more rewarding to be on the other side of that. And doesn't mean I don't still have those, like, moment, of course. 

Krys [16:12 - 17:24]: But, yeah, $30 to change your life. It does not sound real, but I assure you it is. And it all starts with joining FLK method for $30 as a new client. Head to Google. You don't have to take my word for it. Head to Google, Google FLK Method, and just read all of the reviews, talking about how something so simple has changed women's lives all over the world. And it's $30. And after the first month, you can cancel it. And that's not a great decision, but it's your decision. All right? I just want you to not take my word for it, but to take the first step into changing your routine, finding what works for you, and finally feeling, looking, and living a fit and healthy lifestyle. You can either email me@fitlikeKrysmail.com or head to my website, fitlikeKrys.com as standing in front of. And even though it's a virtual space, like, you have all these people that are logging in looking at you, how does that, like, feel? And what do you tell yourself to kind of push yourself through that? 

Brittany [17:24 - 17:25]: Oh, God. 

Krys [17:25 - 17:33]: Because I know that sometimes I have to do that. And I've never had an issue with shyness, so for me, it's hard. I didn't get that from you. 

Brittany [17:35 - 17:59]: Well, the first class I ever taught, I literally blacked out. You were like, how did it go? And I was like, I don't remember teaching it at all. But yeah, it's. Yeah. Even over a year later, like, still, like, some mornings I have to just be like, it's okay. I. I was actually telling people in class, whenever I have to teach a new class that I've never taught before, I have a nightmare the night before. That's something. Every time. It never. 

Krys [17:59 - 18:01]: Tradition. Yes. 

Brittany [18:01 - 18:25]: Something goes wrong. So the next Day, I'm always, like, panicked. I'm like, something's gonna happen. It usually does. Yeah. Yeah. But I've gotten better at realizing, like, if my lights start acting up, if my music. If I hit Spotify wrong, if something, like, I have to just breathe and realize people will wait, you know, or, like, it's okay instead of panicking. 

Krys [18:26 - 19:07]: Yeah. I found that the thing that I think that people are going to think is often the thing that they're not thinking. Like, when I'm like, oh, you know, if you mess up and you're like, people are gonna think this or people are gonna think that. I learned that very early on in my teaching career that, like, playing a certain type of music and I'm like, oh, I can't play that, because then they'll think this. And it's like, so the opposite. We have no idea what people are thinking. And the best thing we can do is to just stay on course. Especially with instructing and being in front of people. Like, if you mess up and almost, like, expecting to. For it not to be perfect, because that's more normal than expecting it to be perfect. 

Brittany [19:07 - 19:16]: I think that's when I, like, go into it, like, thinking, like, okay, this is what it. Like, it's gonna be, or this is how. Especially, like, maybe for a new class or whatever, then I mess it up. 

Krys [19:16 - 19:16]: Yeah. 

Brittany [19:16 - 19:23]: Whereas, like, if I'm just like, I wake up in the morning and I'm like, okay, we're just teaching a class this morning. It's fine. Like, I. It's much better. 

Krys [19:23 - 20:06]: Yeah. And people often need that break, you know, like, then they're just. They're standing there for an extra 30 seconds, but they need to, like, catch their breath or, like, they're struggling to be standing there at that time anyway. So if you're taking a little longer to start, like, it's really no big deal. Has there been. Can you recall any situation in the past two, three years since you've been on this new other. You turn the leaf over. That hasn't gone well. Time you put yourself out there and it just did not go well. That's a really good example. 

Brittany [20:06 - 20:15]: So I've been single for about two and a half years. And so the attempting to date thing has been. I, like, took a very specific, like, year and a half. I was like, I'm not dating. 

Krys [20:15 - 20:15]: Mm. 

Brittany [20:15 - 20:21]: And so getting back into that this year, 2024, has been not great. 

Krys [20:21 - 20:22]: Interesting. 

Brittany [20:22 - 20:29]: Interesting. I will say it has been bad because everything's. But, yeah, dating's probably been one of those things. 

Krys [20:29 - 20:52]: And. And so how. What's the kind of connection point, like, from, you know, pushing your body to work out even though it's tired to get in front of people, even though it's hard, like, for dating or relationships? What's the uncomfortable part for you? Like, what part do you show up for that you're like, this could go away. Is it just showing up to the game? 

Brittany [20:53 - 21:02]: It's just showing up, showing up, having to, like, open up. I'm like, do we have to do the same? What's your favorite color? What do you do for work? 

Krys [21:02 - 21:05]: You don't have to. You don't have to. You don't have to do. 

Brittany [21:05 - 21:26]: I, like, dread, like, small talk like that, And I think that that's probably part of the reason why too. Like, I have, like, it's so uncomfortable for me to, like, when I meet new people, I'm like, oh, it's that same weird, like, how was your day? What's your, you know, how was the weather? Like, I don't love that conversation. So that's probably where it makes it more uncomfortable. 

Krys [21:26 - 21:42]: Something that was really helpful for me when approaching small talk, because I used to say that too. I used to say, like, I can't small talk. But I found that what that did was it closed off opportunities for me to connect and to meet people. 

Brittany [21:42 - 21:42]: Yeah. 

Krys [21:42 - 22:00]: So something that I heard that was really helpful that I started to apply almost right away. What was that? Not apply. But it was the thought of small talk. That question begins the conversation. 

Brittany [22:00 - 22:01]: Yeah. 

Krys [22:01 - 22:44]: The whole conversation is in small talk. Right. And it could be. But that in the elevator, at the same time, looking at the, you know, like, that, we feel like we sort of create that. Like, breaking the ice faster makes it easier. Like, saying, like, oh. Or like, complimenting people is my favorite. That's so much more natural than saying, like, oh, what's this? It's like, oh, those sneakers are really cool. And then we can. So I would say, like, small talk doesn't have to be inauthentic. You can small talk about things that, like, make sense for you, but it does. If you don't do it, it just shuts down your opportunity to have great conversations. 

Brittany [22:45 - 22:52]: Yeah. I think that's definitely, like, a valid point, because I realize even sometimes I'm like, I don't want to talk to this person. And then you start talking to them. 

Krys [22:52 - 22:58]: You're like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Most people are great. You know, you just have to give people the chance. 

Brittany [22:58 - 22:58]: Yeah. 

Krys [22:58 - 23:22]: So we're actually coming up on another teacher training program this year. And I know for sure that there are at least, I could even say within the FLK community at least 10 women who are thinking, like, that would be cool if I could do that. 

Brittany [23:22 - 23:25]: I've talked to like, one or two of them already that have said it to me too. 

Krys [23:25 - 23:41]: Yeah, I would be. I would. I would say you're the perfect person to sort of speak to that person. And not even just instructor training, like, just people looking at something and saying like, oh, I would really. That would be really cool if. But that's not for me. 

Brittany [23:41 - 23:42]: Yeah. 

Krys [23:42 - 23:57]: And kind of that thing that you said about you doing it for you. I don't know. I just want you to, like, talk to those people and give them some encouragement on taking a step to do that. Maybe with what it brought you and the value in it. 

Brittany [23:57 - 25:01]: I mean, that was me, like, I was that person. I was taking classes with you going, damn, I really would love to do this someday. And so they're like, I really want to be her friend, you know, kind of thing. So I would. If. If you're thinking about it, I've told the few people that I have talked to, I'm like, just do it. You don't even have to teach afterwards. But the, like, the confidence it gave me, the like, friendships it brought me, like, because Samantha was my partner for it. So that made us be closer. It was just like. It was just a really good experience overall, whether you continue to teach or not. But like I said, the confidence, just how much stronger I am than I thought I was. Mentally, like, it. I don't. It was. It literally was life changing whether I decided to teach or not. Afterwards, I left that first teacher training thinking, there's no way I'm going to do that. 

Krys [25:01 - 25:02]: Yeah. Yeah. 

Brittany [25:02 - 25:16]: Like, cried on my way home. So if you sign up for it. No, it's okay. Yeah. But, yeah, you can cry about it. I was so scared when I left that I was like, there's no way I can do this. But I was like, I don't want to quit a 4K method. 

Krys [25:16 - 25:20]: So, yeah, I was like, if I. 

Brittany [25:20 - 25:22]: Quit teacher training, gonna have to quit FLK method. 

Krys [25:23 - 25:27]: Yeah. Like, I can't tell Krys I can't do this. 

Brittany [25:27 - 25:32]: Yeah. And you know what? That isn't actually your only two options. If it isn't for you, you can. 

Krys [25:32 - 25:35]: Obviously just say, hey, this isn't for me. Yeah. 

Brittany [25:35 - 25:48]: But in my brain, that's where I went. So. But I'm glad I stuck it out. And I think that it's I really just think if you want to try it, you should for yourself. If it's something you really want to do for yourself. 

Krys [25:48 - 25:49]: Yeah, it's. 

Brittany [25:49 - 25:50]: It's worth it. 

Krys [25:50 - 26:08]: And the end goal, no matter what we're working towards, that expectation of, like, it doesn't have to be anything. Like, it's just. Can be the experience and whatever it is that looks appealing to you, like, we get one life. 

Brittany [26:08 - 26:08]: Yeah. 

Krys [26:08 - 26:22]: There are so many things to do. I was talking to somebody, one of the crew members who just like went on. She like really wanted to go to a concert to see, I think Taylor Swift. And there was a ticket available and she just like bought the ticket. 

Brittany [26:22 - 26:22]: Yeah. 

Krys [26:22 - 26:40]: I don't even know if she's going with someone or by herself. But like that. And I know that's come from sort of FLK method and that just like, just if you really want it, like, there's nothing in your way. You're the only person in your way. And as soon as you get out of your own way, the world just starts to open up. 

Brittany [26:41 - 26:56]: Just doing teacher training and coming to the retreat and just opening up a little bit there has opened up so many things for me. I did start going to do things on my. I would have never dreamt of doing anything on my own, you know, but now I'm like, if I want to go to a concert and nobody else wants to go with me, I buy the ticket and I've gone. 

Krys [26:56 - 26:57]: Yeah. 

Brittany [26:57 - 27:05]: If I want to, like, go somewhere and nobody else can come, like, I've just gone and done it, you know, I haven't traveled by myself yet, but that is on my bucket list of things to do. 

Krys [27:05 - 27:06]: Highly recommend. 

Brittany [27:06 - 27:25]: Yeah. And so I'm like, that's, you know, my. Probably my next, like, adventure is maybe trying to like, travel by myself. But yeah, if I never put myself out there to just even try the teacher training or put myself out there to, you know, try and make new friends or things like that. I don't know that I'd be doing any of these things. 

Krys [27:25 - 27:25]: Yeah. 

Brittany [27:26 - 27:28]: Outside of a 4K method and inside of. 

Krys [27:28 - 27:41]: Yeah. I think almost you took such an extreme step that it made all the other steps seem. And so that's really good advice too. Just like doing something completely out of your comfort zone because then, like, everything else is going to feel. 

Brittany [27:41 - 27:43]: It does feel easier. Easier. 

Krys [27:43 - 27:46]: You're just like, oh, I did that. So I'm going to be able to do this. 

Brittany [27:46 - 27:46]: Yeah. 

Krys [27:47 - 28:05]: Okay. What is something you are. What's the next thing that maybe has been rolling around in your mind that makes you uncomfortable to think about, but you're gonna do it anyway or you're working up the strength to do it. 

Brittany [28:08 - 28:39]: I think I've spoken to you a little bit about this, but I think outside of just teaching, I want to do, like, I want to maybe get more into coaching or more into helping people. I've helped you, like, a little bit now with, like, the summer camp challenge, and I'm helping you with the trim down challenge and just trying to, like, learn more overall and then hopefully turn that into helping people more, too. So I'm very uncomfortable about that, but I want to do it, so that's my. 

Krys [28:39 - 28:40]: Helping people is never a bad thing. 

Brittany [28:40 - 28:41]: Yeah. 

Krys [28:41 - 29:05]: We need more people to help people. So I'm here to support you in every way that you need because you're a great person to help people because you've done the hard work, and that is the best way to teach anybody else. So if there's someone in your life who you're trying to get to movement, maybe that person is you. It's the action. Right. Like, being that role model, doing it. That life is the best lesson. 

Brittany [29:05 - 29:10]: Yeah. And just start small. It doesn't have to be 15 classes a day in the gym, seven days a week. 

Krys [29:10 - 29:11]: Right. 

Brittany [29:11 - 29:25]: You know, making this your whole life just. I was lifting two pound weights when I started. Yeah. You know, and just trying and built up to where it is. So, like, it's just a, like, small little step there. Especially when it comes to, like, working out. 

Krys [29:25 - 29:25]: Yeah. 

Brittany [29:25 - 29:26]: That's all you need. 

Krys [29:26 - 29:39]: It applies to everything. It applies to working out. It applies to life. It applies. Getting yourself out of your comfort zone is the theme. You have to do it. Right. Like, you have to. You can't not do it because you're going to be uncomfortable kind of not doing it. 

Brittany [29:39 - 29:39]: Yeah. 

Krys [29:40 - 29:46]: You're just going to observe the whole world living their life, and you're just like, oh, I wish I could do that. I'm so happy you're not doing that anymore. Me too.
