Thank you for the encouragement. My therapist is on a leave of absence and I was procrastinating finding a new one but this video was my push and reminder to do so. 
Thank you ❤️

You’re amazing. I’m a sexual abuse survivor too. As a child and adult. All the things you said are so true. Hugs

Audriann

I feel like I get to know you a little more each time. Thank you so much so sharing your story and encouraging everyone with your monday motivation!

Thank you for sharing❤️ you never know what another person is going through, and even just hearing you are not alone is so powerful.

Emily

First of all thank you. Thank you for saying the hard things. Thank you for talking about the things the world looks away from. While I am not trying to tell you my life story, I also sought out counseling after sexual assault. I also had to seek it out after I was strangled while working as a registered nurse in a mental health crisis unit. I only tell you this because I have accepted my story. I am thankful that people have influencers like you that send these messages. Also, about the women supporting women page or thing you had mentioned, I think a time right now it has never been needed more. With COVID the ERs and police are responding to more domestic violence, abuse and suicide attempts than ever before as programs were discontinued because of the lack of “safe” management related to precautions with COVID and some shelters were shut down. Please never stop telling your story and being real, because I know the things you share make me definitely feel less alone in this world as a new mom! Love to you and your family

You’re the best. I’m sorry that you had to experience the darkness and so grateful you’ve found a way to bring light into the world as a result.

Sarah

Beautiful episode. Thank you! I would love to listen to a podcast hosted by you! 💜

sending a HUGE hug & tons of thanks your way for your vulnerability and honesty❤️ mental health can be a challenge but sometimes the best way to get through rough times  is supporting one another🙌🏻

This mindset Monday is about mental health. 

While we have a massive passion for discussing perspectives, mindsets, and attitudes that relate towards our fitness goals, we are not an adequate replacement for true mental health therapy.

We all know how mental health is incredibly important. We can’t fully be ourselves or focus the time, attention, and energy towards our fitness goals when we are struggling with our mental health. 

We often hear that fitness can help our mental health.

But sometimes fitness is not enough, or a cure to all our mental health needs.

So in honor of mental health month we want to encourage anyone who is thinking about or needing that push to go see a mental health professional to do it. If your looking for your sign, consider this it.

We support you in this journey and we come alongside you 💛

This is me taking the next step. Been having a hard time getting my workout in if I don’t have at least 30 minutes and so i didn’t get a work out in this week. Then came my period and I again made excuses. Needed some motivation so I came by here to set my intentions for the week. Taking the next step. I will fit movement in where I can and be glad I did so, even if it’s not perfect!

Hi guys,

Rhona here from Cork in Ireland. Thank you so much for such an honest and open discussion! It’s a breath of fresh air to hear trainers speak with honesty. Looking forward to getting started!!

I love that you do a Mindset Monday. As weird as it sounds watching it made me emotional. But it is such a relief and a breath of fresh air for me to be able to have that internal guidance so I can pursue my fitness goals in a healthy and loving way.

Rachael

I just listened to my first motivational mindset, and I’m just completely inspired by you two. I’m excited, and want to thank you for this app!

Kaley

Mindset: Consistency

It was an awesome message but I wanted to listen to what your sister had to say. It sounded like she had a beautiful message but you kept cutting her off and talking over her. So not sure if she was supposed to be in this video but whatever she was trying to share was awesome! Just let her talk and finish what she wanted to say next time!

Thank you!! I needed this! I’m 12 weeks pregnant and surprisingly still struggle with the fact that my body is changing.. but I’m learning to embrace it and eat and workout according to what feels GOOD to me and my body. Thank you

This was wonderful! I’ve been so glued to the scale.. my goals this week are to make foods I enjoy write workouts I love and not weigh myself at all

Why the scale shouldn’t be your only goal.

Storm Houser

Exactly what I needed to hear and reflect on! Thank you! These motivational Mondays are so so awesome!

Discipline and Grace

Really good, I felt reassured with Mindset Monday talk today. After losing motivation, hearing this was a great pick me up! Thanks!

Love the 5 minute rule, it works every time. The tip to buy a new outfit works for me sometimes too lol. Dang ptula! 🤣

Ashley Powell

This was the reminder I needed! Thank you!

Stephanie

Motivation

Hannah your reaction to Michal’s story was so funny😂

Francesca

I feel michal’s words when she said “or you’re trying to hold in a fart” 😂😂 too real

Lily

Confidence in the gym

That was great! It was exactly what I needed for support and encouragement! Thank you for creating amazing content and sharing your wisdom and knowledge in this area of fitness and wellness!🧡💜

I love starting my mornings with these. I have positive affirmations written all over rmy house on sticky notes so I see them all the time and that helps me significantly! ❤

Positive self talk

A nice encouragement to add more to my diet.. I eat fairly healthy however, I often miss breakfast and lunch and I know this is truly my problem. I’ve been working on getting at least a morning protein shake with banana and peanut butter, and now need to work on adding lunch back in. Stress doesn’t help but I know my body needs more.

Thank you so much for covering this topic!! I have been working hard for the past 10ish months to repair my relationship with food and come to a healthy mental place with food and figure out what I want long term. This is so, so critical. But this is what the diet industry thrives on and it is tough to undo all our years of programming. Thank you both for knocking down these walls and talking openly. YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE 🥰

Tiffany

Oh, that hit too close to home. Guilty of the clean eating and good food VS bad food. When Hannah said, "don't eat food to lose weight", that clicked in my head!
This is going to be a struggle for me, but 1 of the main reasons I joined the challenge!

Marie

Nutrition Episode 1

That was really good and informative to hear. Thank you

This too was another one of those most needed ones for me to hear. My daily job is physical, I work out I eat pretty healthy weekends tend to  be fun lol but this is good for me to hear thank you!!!!
