Hello? Hello. Is this thing on? I joke like that because I, I've had some trouble with my podcast recording app and it like needed to do an update and then I had to reopen it and then restarted again, and then my microphone got unplugged, so then I had to reconnect the microphone. So it has been a whole situation over the past 10 minutes. But welcome to episode number 1 22. This is weekly recap number 14, and just before it gets started, I don't know if you're able to hear the yard work noise going on in the background, but just kind of ignore that. My husband is home today from work and do working in the yard, so you might hear that in the background, whatever, but. Anyways, to sum up my week, I just feel like she's back, baby. That's how I feel this week. And I say that because I. I've been back on my groove again with content creation. I set my butt down on Monday of this week, perhaps two weeks of content, and I can't tell you the last time I've done that since way back before the move, so had to be in April. So that felt super good to. Get done with that and getting back on my posting groove, showing up and feeling like, okay, I know exactly what I'm trying to do right now. Like, just getting that feeling back of feeling focused. And that is a much, much, much welcomed, i'll tell you, like moving can really shake up your life. Specifically if you have a personal brand and run a coaching business. I knew that it was going to be difficult but I didn't expect how like much of like. Oh my gosh, I feel so out of my groove right now. My capacity feels so low right now. Like that's how I've felt ever since we moved. And it didn't help. That May was a super crazy month for me, like client wise, like client heavy'cause I ran my first retreat and all of that. So it was just, and, and then in addition to the whole moving thing, it was just May was such a big month. I had a really hard time. Like with anything creative and if you run your own business, you feel me when I say like, a lot of our job is creative work and not just like, not just Instagram posts, but like you know, doing these podcasts and writing emails and figuring out like, okay, what is my focus right now? Like, how am I gonna bring people in like the year's half over? Like, it's just a lot of. A creative brain power that is required. And not, that's like, not even related to client work, obviously, but that's a very large part of running your own business and running a personal brand. So that, I just felt like I've been in the struggle trudging through mud, I would say. But this week I was like, okay, I'm back baby. I'm like, refocusing, this is what I'm doing. This is how I'm gonna show up. Like. So that just feels really good and you know, this is specific to me and my experience. In terms of like how I felt through the moving transition. Like I feel like a lot of people, maybe you don't run your own business. Like something you might struggle with is like keeping up with your workouts or eating healthy and cooking and things like that. And I am. Lucky that I was able to stay really focused with all of that, even through this like craziness. And that's literally because I've been doing this for like. 14, 15 years at this point in terms of like strength training and working out regularly and like eating well and cooking and eating whole foods and like hitting macros and all the things like, that's not a struggle for me, even when my life is crazy because I just know how to make it work no matter what. But that is because I've had so many years under my belt with doing those things. It's like a part of who I am and how I exist. And I am grateful for that because I, a lot of people it is not as ingrained into their DNA and it's a lot more of a struggle on like the fitness and health side of things when they go through a life transition. So anyways, I just thought I would like point that out because I do feel lucky that that's on the health side of things. That's not like specifically. What I struggled with through this like life transition, it was more of like my brain, creatively running my business side of things. And you know what? In a perfect world, I would've like had all this, all these things prepped before the transition and then whatever, but you know, life, whatever, it's not perfect. So anyways. Let's see. So that is how I felt this week. So I feel like I did have a really good week in terms of like, okay, I am of course taking care of my clients, but also I'm taking care of the back backend side of my business and that feels really good and feel like I'm building some momentum again. So just trying to continue to. Stay focused on keeping the momentum going, working on these other projects like prepping YouTube videos and, you know, the rebuild of Mobility Makeover and all of those things. So. Anyways, that's basically my business update. Personally, I feel like I had a good week fitness wise as well. And something that I'm excited about slash crusting my fingers for is I'm trying to begin running again, building some sort of running base. I have. Failed at trying to do this over the past five years because every time I try to work in running again, I have a very huge flare up with my foot and ankle and I'm just not able to keep up with it consistently. Like so. A lot of the cardio that I have done has been, you know, biking and things, which is great. I love biking, but I do want to. Build up a small running base for health and just like to be able to be like, okay, like I can go on small runs and be okay. In terms of like how my foot feels. So. I built myself out this like eight week running progression to try and build a base again, and I started that today. I'm really just going to be doing running once per week and see how I feel with that and yeah, I felt pretty good this morning. My foot started to ache a little bit towards the end of my run, but not any pain or anything. So we'll see how I feel tomorrow. Like usually when I do something like running it is the day, the 48 hours after where I can really tell like how my foot felt. My foot and ankle. So we will see, I have definitely been doing a lot of prep really over the last six months, honestly, with like a shit ton of calf work, big toe work, trics, things like that. So I have prepped my body to be able to take this kind of impact again. It's not just like I'm going in cold, you know, so I've definitely been prepping over the past six months. So I'm really, really hoping that this goes well and that I, that my foot can begin to tolerate this again. So we will see I am starting, you know, super cautiously. God, I feel cautiously optimistic about it. We'll just put it like that so we will see. But anyways, let me think what else. I think that's pretty much it for this weekly recap. I yeah, I feel like that's pretty much it for this week. So if you listen to these, I appreciate you. Thanks for being here and I hope you enjoy your weekend and I'll talk to you in the next recap.
