Hello. Hello. Welcome back to another weekly recap. This is another recap that's gonna be from the past two weeks just because I'm trying my best out here to get these weekly recaps out. And I want to actually make sure I tie in some value as well. So that is why. I don't know. Sometimes I'm gonna do two in one. All right? In some weeks I'm gonna do just one, but I don't have to. I don't know. I don't know how to explain myself. I'm explaining myself too much. But anyways, I, let's see. This week was a solid week. I was able to get in some people into my four week single leg strength challenge, which I'm really excited about. We're starting that on Monday and. I've never done anything like this before and so I am pumped to just like see how it goes. And I may or may not have plans to do another like short term program like this in October. I think I'm gonna do one about running. So. Keep your eyes peeled for that because more of these, like mini programs might be happening. So anyways, we have that. So I've been planning for that. And then, let's see, I'm trying to think. Last week was not, not too eventful, just, you know, the usual. Business stuff. Oh, something else that I did start on last week behind the scenes is I began the process of revamping my whole course for Coaches Mobility Makeover. This was something that I ran twice and. I am revamping the whole thing, changing the structure a little bit. Well, actually a lot of it I'm edit going through and editing the curriculum. I am shortening the timeframe from 12 weeks to nine weeks. Some of it's going to be self-paced. And we will have a few calls, but like in the first two times I ran this program, I was doing a live teaching call every single week. And so taking that out, but I am keeping a few calls in the program because. Of doing live case studies and actually showing you how to implement what you're learning in real time. I believe that's really important and that's one of the unique things about this course is that I actually show you how to. A program for the problems that you find mobility wise, strength wise, and I give you examples and feedback on it. So anyways, I'm basically revamping the course. Alright. And I'm gonna be submitting it for CEUs because that was another piece of feedback that I got. And so you probably don't know anything about that, but in order to submit it to these like certifying bodies so that trainers can get C used for the course, it's like a whole process. There are certain guidelines that have to be met in terms of how much material there is. There has to be a certain amount of quiz questions. There has to be, laid out learning objectives and like all these different things, honestly. And so it is a, a large project and I have honestly resisted beginning this project because it just seemed like too much. But last week I was like sick of my own shit and it was like, you know what? I am just going to start this because if I don't ever start it, it's not going to get done. So, Hmm. So that feels good to have started that process. And if you're like, oh, when are you gonna be running the program again? I don't really know. I'm hoping by quarter two of 2026. It honestly depends on how long the approval process takes for getting it approved for cq. That is going to determine kind of the timeline for like officially relaunching it.'cause basically I have to get everything prepped. Then submit it to the different certifying bodies and then you basically wait. So I don't really know how long that time is gonna, how long that approval time is gonna take. And so in my head I'm like, okay, worst case scenario, it's Q2 of 2026 is when I launch it again. So if you're a coach who's like listening to this. Following me along was kind of like creeping on me when I was like launching those the first two rounds and you're like, when is she gonna run it again? That's the update on the program. So if you are a coach and you want to make sure you're in the loop, I suggest getting on my email list because I always like, hear things first. Anyway, so we got that, that I've been working on, and then I've also been working on the update to the movement library. So. Working on that update to get in 50 new exercises into the library by the fall. I don't consider it to be fall yet Right now. I feel like Ashley, it is fall. No, it's not fall. It's still very hot right now. So so yeah, that is something I've been working on and that'd be like a more of a main focus for me for September, honestly, because I want the update to go out in October. And I'm also going to be doing a relaunch of the movement library. If you did not get it the first time around with this update, this'll be a good time to grab it and I'm gonna relaunch it. So but it will be more expensive than the first time I launched it because it has more stuff in it and it's very valuable. So I'm excited about that. But that's definitely gonna be a project. That I work a lot on in September. And let me think, what else do I have going on That is kind of a lot between the challenge revamping, mobility makeover, getting the update ready for the movement library. And then we have a big trip coming in October. So, and then basically after that it's like the holidays and then the end of the year is like over. So at least at how it, that is how it kind of feels in my brain. I used to wear like time goes out like warp lightning speed when you have a business. So I don't know what it is about it, but I'm like, oh my gosh. Anyways, so I'm trying to think, think that's pretty much all my updates, guys. This is kind of like a word vomit. And that's my word vomit, update. Over the past two weeks, what I've been working on, what things have been going on. And then. The lesson I wanted to share with you, or like the value takeaway is something that I am working on every single day trying to implement this and work on this is so just working on, working with my brain and body instead of just like white knuckling through long like. My large to-do list basically. So like I have a really bad habit of like telling myself, okay, I'm not getting up from this chair till like these 10 items are done, for example. And what that can result in is like if I have like no brain breaks and I'm just like white knuckling through, I feel so depleted and drained and just like a hot garbage after doing that. And like I hate that I do that. It's a habit I developed several years ago. And so I have been trying to come out of that like with a lot of help from this program that I'm in called HBA, shout out Coach Kate. She has a membership. It's all about like nervous system regulation basically, and learning how to. Work with your brain and body instead of against it, basically. That's like the whole thing is she like sends out these little mini trainings, whatever. So anyways, all that to say I'm trying to not be in that zone of like no breaks, white knuckling feeling like shit at the end of the day. And instead what I'm trying to do is I am. Setting timers for tasks and I'm, which I always do, but like paying attention to like how I feel after I complete each task. So, for example, if I'm like, Hey, I'm doing my client work right now, I'm going to answer all my client messages and I'm gonna do whatever client check-ins I have to do in that block of time. Alright, I'm done with that task. Checking in with my body. How does my brain and body feel right now? Do I feel really depleted or do I feel okay? And like I can do another task? And sometimes I'll feel okay and I move on to the next task. But if I'm like, dude, I felt really drained after that. I need a little bit of a break. I've been pausing and I'm like, okay, what does my body need? Do I need to go outside for a little bit of a walk? Am I hungry? Do I need a snack? Am I thirsty? And I'll like get out of my office and just like do something. Or I'll like do the dishes or something, a little bit of a brain break, and then I'll like return back to the next task I have to do. And, in the program that I was talking about, Kate, she always talks about this as like bouncing between your brain's, networks, between like work and play. And what happens when you do that is you're actually more productive in your work blocks because you're not pushing past your limit. And when you're done with your, you know, day, you feel drastically different. And I really noticed this yesterday and. Because I intentionally was doing this in the afternoon, like I had some client calls in the morning and it was 2:00 PM and I was like, I already feel zapped. Like, oh my gosh, I have all this stuff to do. But I was like, you know what? One thing at a time, gonna check in with my body after each thing and like asking myself what I need. And I actually got all of my work done at a decent time. And guess what? At the end of the day, I did not feel like hot, hot garbage. I was like, holy shit, this really works. I need to do this more. Often. Wow. Imagine that not ignoring how your body feels mentally during the day can really help. So anyways, for me, the hardest part about like doing that is taking the time to notice how my body is actually in my mind, is actually feeling. After I do each thing and like not trying to pass any judgment on myself if like I, you know, if I do. For programming for four people. And if I feel like I need a break after that, take the break, Ashley. And don't be like, okay, you're being a little bitch. You need to like finish the rest of your people. Like right now, no, just take the break, then you return back and you finish the other half that you are gonna do or whatever that is. And so just kind of removing that judgment and just going with those like breaks and bouncing back and forth. Something that I'm actively working on. And if you are somebody that also struggles with this type of thing you should try it out because it really works. So that is something I am working through and this especially works if you are like mentally just having a hard time and like it can really help with that as well, just like getting. The work tasks done, even if you're like, oh my gosh, this is the last thing I wanna do. Right? So anyways, super proud of myself for that. So if you're listening to this and you're like, wow, that's really interesting, like, I should try that. You should try it and then let me know how it goes. And yeah. So that is all for this update. I hope you enjoyed it. And I will be back. I'm probably gonna do my update early next week'cause my parents are coming to visit, so my weekly update might come out on Thursday. So be on lookout for that and talk to you next time.
