"Training, The Essence of Transformation"- Leslie Rodriguez- Episode 13- April 2021 Get Uplifted

In this conversation Leslie and I talk about her fitness journey and how her passion for rowing helped her begin not only her weight loss journey but taught her how to TRAIN FOR LIFE. We talk about how she was looking for something that didn’t feel like exercise but felt more like a release and that's how she found her passion for rowing after just one class. Along this journey Leslie lost over 80 lbs naturally in under a year and shares how this has became more than just a weight loss journey. She talk about how everything clicked and brought her back to center helping her to truly find herself. We talk about how changing her language and thoughts to things such as Training rather than working out, changing "I get to" instead of "I have to", and reframing her mindset and creating a new perspective with a whole new self confidence. We talk about how vulnerability is a strength, how it makes you feel alive and is the juice of life. How to shake yourself out of being on auto pilot, how to ground yourself, be present, and to truly feel alive.
