On Today’s Episode With Tyler of WeShape, He Reminds Us Of The Power Of A Healthy Mindset, Mindfulness, Self-Worth, And More:

Co-Founders, Katie and Tyler Bramlett started WeShape with the intention of advocating for women to stop focusing on the number on the scale and instead put their energy and efforts towards a more meaningful intention such as movement, rest, and a deeper connection with self. Their entire company and product is rooted in intention, movement, community, and beliefs. They have a passion for bringing awareness to the toxic expectations placed on women in the fitness industry, as well as the often overshadowed, yet pivotal roles women play in business and entrepreneurship.

Quote: “A Disciplined Mind Leads To Happiness, And An Undisciplined Mind Leads To Suffering ~ Dalai Lama

Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:

Mindfulness Intention
Self-Worth
Feel Good Challenges every 6 weeks.

Timestamped Show Notes:

05:15 – How do we give them the tools to go from unconsciously working out, like mindlessly exercising, it’s the hammering away on the treadmill, while you’re watching an episode of Oprah. Hitting the machines and not really dropping into your body or really experiencing movement. How do you actually learn how to mindfully move your body from the intention of wanting to care for your body, not from the intention of wanting to change the way you look? So you can get external validation and feel good about yourself? Right. So that’s kind of how we got to here!

10:40 – I also think that if you surround yourself with people who are all stuck in the same toxic mindset, then you end up complaining and circulating in that mindset. It’s interesting to me, one of the things that we discovered early on about community was, it is one of the greatest predictors to overall longevity. In fact, I think it was Wendy Suzuki is a neuroscientist that said that it was the number one predictor of longevity is the amount of positive connections you have with other people.

14:30 – I feel like this is something I’ve become really aware of. It’s funny because Katie was the one who came up with this intention as the business was, how do we change people? How do we bring awareness to this toxic weight loss culture we’re stuck in, which is like, do this crash diet, do this workout, do this whatever, and you’ll lose weight and you’ll feel better about yourself. We just said it like a little bit ago, you’ll lose weight, but you won’t feel better about yourself.

23:30 – The goal is just to get people rallied up and consistent. We go over these topics of intention, movement, beliefs, community with them and really dive deep into them. It really changes a lot of people’s lives. What’s really interesting to me about these challenges, is that when people come together in a community, and one person is willing to raise their hand and share, like, Hey, I’m really struggling with this.

34:15 – I think people struggle with that. But again, I think this comes down to that self-worth and I think where we can really differentiate ourselves as a brand is that WeShape isn’t focused on body transformation, losing weight, and all this different stuff. We’re trying to bring to someone’s attention that hey, look at all the magazines and all the internet stuff everything is basically making you feel shitty about yourself. We’re shaping a new way, we’re trying to change the way we’re approaching us. All that stuff out there is making you feel shitty so that you buy their stuff.

40:45 – The mindset work, the psychological work, that is something that we personally have to take accountability for. You have to have a personal accountability and investment yourself.

58:00 – I want them to stop getting stuck in these toxic weight loss cycles. Stop getting stuck in these exercise programs and diets and all this crap and start learning how to appreciate themselves. Teach them to connect with themselves and show up with better intentions and lean into a community who can support them through that.

59:20 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I think what I want to stand for is just showing people that it starts with their opinion of themselves. What you believe about yourself, is what you will do with your life. If you believe that you’re worthless, and you know you’re a failure, and you can’t do all of these things, then there you go. That’s the life that you’re gonna end up creating for yourself. You can believe whatever you want. So you can believe and see all of these positive things about yourself. You can keep training that belief and holding that belief as truth and fortifying that belief through your actions to build it into truth. So that will become your life. It’s just your choice what you want to believe.

00:30: Introduction

10:00: How tough are we really? You know, when a mosquito bites you, it hurts. You know, when somebody pinches you, it hurts. You know, it’s very easy to cut yourself. We’re actually delicate creatures.

20:00: You got to physically survive, you have to understand how the world works and how to cheat other people better than you how you get cheated. All of the skills we learn for managing our physical existence on the planet, you’re building up your senses.

30:00: You have the possibility to change your program, and that deep place of peace, love, joy, contentment, and wholeness. That place has never been affected by what affected your body, your mind, and your emotions.

40:00: So you can’t be in your head in order to be fully present experientially, in all of your being and your surroundings. When you’re fully present in all of your being and your surroundings, figuring out what to do when things happen. It’s not complicated. Because you’re doing it, you’re filled with joy, you’re filled with love, you care for life, whatever needs caring for whatever needs uplifting, whatever needs to be protected and saved.

49:00: Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

You get this gift and if you don’t unwrap this gift, you don’t open it up and really get what you’ve been given, it’s a wasted gift because nobody else can enjoy it for it. So this should be to me, the most normal, the most rewarding thing a human being can do in their life. I just say make time for it. Make time for you, make time for all kinds of crazy shit. Make time for this. Make time for yourself, make time for how amazing it is to be you!

Final Words:

People need to realize that health is personalized. Everybody is a little different, don’t be too dogmatic about it. Don’t be like oh I’m a Vegan so everyone else has to be a Vegan. Or, I’m a Carnivore so everyone else has to be a Carnivore.

There are definitely certain principles that apply to everybody. For example, eating process sugar is bad for you! There IS a lot of diversity and customization available, so you want to be aware of that.

Knowledge is power, so the smarter you are about your health, the more healthy you’re going to be. The more you take control of this, the better it is going to be. The reason Socrates was considered to be the wisest man in the world was that he knew his limitations. He knew himself. “Know Self”

056: Scoring Some Align Therapy with Aaron Alexander

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Align Therapy in Your Life

A practice not thought about enough is how we move. If we took the time to analyze how we move we would probably uncover the root causes to most of our joint pain and inflammation. Helping people align their everyday movements is Aaron Alexander a movement coach from Align Therapy. Aaron has literally made courses about movement in our everyday life, such as chopping carrots, getting out of the car and sitting in a chair. Aligning these simple movements would improve your quality of life. Aaron is also a fellow Podcaster with the Align Therapy Podcast.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”01:36″] Dr. Jack Kruse and transitioning from Oregon to California
[spp-timestamp time=”04:56″] The brand Align Therapy and how it came about
[spp-timestamp time=”06:41″] The Power of Podcasting. Aaron has had his podcast for 2 years. He is now approaching 100k downloads per month. When he started his show his numbers were pretty low but after being a guest on other shows his numbers began to pick up.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:04″] Aaron has created courses around literally getting out of a car properly. He is creating a series of videos about the most effective ways to inhabit their bodies. The course should be about in April’17
[spp-timestamp time=”12:24″] It’s the consistency that makes the difference
[spp-timestamp time=”14:41″] It takes time to reprogram. It is a long game. Pulling the best practices from various different worlds, whether it’s CrossFit, Yoga or Martial Arts they all have something valuable to offer. If we can pull from all that and instilling those practices into our daily movement, it will eventually become who we are. Too often we get wrapped up in the quick fix. The way to get past that quick fix is to make it fun and the way to do that is to create activities around it.
[spp-timestamp time=”18:40″] Foam Rolling for mobility and recovery. Making sure your metabolic fire is always running.
[spp-timestamp time=”21:55″] We all have to be open until we have tried it. Give your body that space to step away from your habits.
[spp-timestamp time=”25:04″] Your environment and sleep is key. We always take from the cup but never take the time to ask how to fill it back up.
[spp-timestamp time=”28:38″] Look to the successful. When Aaron is looking at someone’s health, he is looking at the structure organisation around their joints, their skin quality, the elasticity of their tissue, how much they smile, their eye contact and how they relate to people in a social environment, all that is health and it is all things successful people are doing. What are they doing that could be applied to normal life?
[spp-timestamp time=”31:09″] Cycling and paying attention to you posture.
[spp-timestamp time=”36:33″] The effect of dance, art and the curse of handwriting on your creativity.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:04″] Who are you, where are you. The use of standing desks. It’s not about sitting or standing it is about the quality of the way you are sitting or standing.
[spp-timestamp time=”45:21″] Focusing on your mobility. Create a ceremony and an anchor around your sleep or the other things you want to get good at.
[spp-timestamp time=”50:37″] Final Words

045: Strauser Project, Kettlebells, Isagenix, Epidermolysis Bullosa

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 30 Jan 2017 21:15:00 +0000

Epidermolysis Bullosa gofundme Project Co-Hosting:

This episode was recorded live at CrossFit Adoration with repeat co-host Brian Strauser of The Strauser Project. He has gone through an exciting transformation in life and business since Brian’s last appearance on LIVETHEFUEL. Brian has also been impacting the lives of others through various charity efforts, in particular someone living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). Which you will hear more about on this episode. Brian has been living a life of purpose.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”03:00″] Moving in the right direction since Brian’s previous episode
[spp-timestamp time=”04:35″] Opening people’s eyes. Sometimes what you are looking at isn’t what’s actually going on. Don’t be so naive to think when you look at your loved ones everything is great because on the surface things may look great but deep down things may not be.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:02″] Keeping up with the Jones’s. Assuming the worst. Brian tries to make people’s lives better when he is around them. Do something, it’s better than looking on and doing nothing.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:46″] Are we remaining approachable so people remain comfortable to work with you on their goals. We need to be coaching and supporting each other in life. Lead by example.
[spp-timestamp time=”13:54″] Brian has become a voracious podcast consumer. The impostor syndrome. Doing your self-work to fight your impostor syndrome. Since Brian has been using isogenic, he has become the product of the product. Brian had been a personal trainer for ten years.
[spp-timestamp time=”18:07″] Anti-scales. It’s all about the inches. It’s the inflammatory weight leaving your body. Brian in the past 30 days lost 10 inches.
[spp-timestamp time=”19:00″] Bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a commonly used method for estimating body composition and in particular body fat.
[spp-timestamp time=”21:03″] Nutrient density. Having nutrient dense meals not only to support the body through the transformation but to maintain the existing muscle mass.
[spp-timestamp time=”23:01″] Supported fasting day. You are given a certain amount of snacks and supports along with the cleansing supplement, your body is naturally able to cleanse and detox but many of us are not healthy enough to do it. What Brian took just jacks it up to give you a super a deep cleansing day.
[spp-timestamp time=”23:56″] Fasting has been around for centuries in different forms. The importance of sleep, circadian rhythm, helps you rest, recover and heal.
[spp-timestamp time=”26:40″] It’s 2017, with New Year’s resolutions still a hot topic, you can’t go from couch potatoes to guns blazing because you could cause injury, cause tears in your muscle tissue all these side effects that could end up setting you back and psychologically having a negative impact on you. Build up. Take your time. Whether it’s a nutritional program or your workouts take your time, be smart with your body and it’s transformation. It is a process.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:46″] Mind of the Athlete
[spp-timestamp time=”30:30″] How Scott and Brian met
[spp-timestamp time=”32:06″] Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a general term used to describe a group of rare inherited skin disorders that cause the skin to become very fragile. Brian has been helping and raising money for John Hudson Dilgen, a young man from Staten Island, New York who suffers from Epidermolysis Bullosa.
[spp-timestamp time=”33:43″] Skin is the largest organ on our body. These children with Epidermolysis Bullosa are essentially an open wound. Brian had previously raised $1200 for the EBRP by competing in the Wilderness 101 Mountain bike race. Brian wanted to do something for him personally, he couldn’t buy him a video game or a bike, so he was told by his aunt, who is on the board of Epidermolysis Bullosa, what he could do personally for him. Brian made some custom oak steps for John’s service dog. He got to hand deliver this to John which was the emotional and life-changing moment for him. Then recently Brain came across a video on Facebook at 04:30 in the morning. The video was about Johns living conditions, he lived in an old Victorian style house in Staten Island New York which really was not set up for John’s condition. His parents are now looking to remodel the middle floor of their house to accommodate a special bath tub. After tagging his boss and company in a post on Facebook, Brian managed by 10:30 to get the kitchen design, build, delivery and installation absolutely free through sponsorship. The cabinetry for the bathroom free with soapstone counters.
[spp-timestamp time=”41:22″] The company that donated all of the above was Precise Graphix which were featured on the television show The Profit.
[spp-timestamp time=”44:54″] Brian is setting up some fundraisers and fitness classes with Inner Strength
[spp-timestamp time=”48:35″] Kettlebells. When your hurting doesn’t stop. Brian feels back to the way he used to be.
[spp-timestamp time=”52:45″] We all have our highs and we all have our lows. Just take the time out to reach out and let someone know how you are doing and be real about it.
[spp-timestamp time=”54:23″] Final Words
