Episode Transcript:

Lesley Logan  

Hey loves. Okay, I am so excited for us to have another conversation around somatics. And also, I love the way that our guests this week really explains how you can actually implement it in your life and how you can actually help others around you. I think there's some really great gems in here that I you're gonna want to write down. There's also some amazing permission in this episode. So Keri Ford is our guest this week, and you're gonna hear how I met her and this life and I'm just so excited after we got off the podcast. We plan our next trips, and I share that with you because y'all life gets really busy. It's actually always busy. And people are always busy. And so those people that mean something to you in your life, you have to actually make the time for it. And if it doesn't have to be every Saturday or something that's super consistent, but you actually do have to be intentional about it. And so I think what you're gonna find in this podcast is how intentionality is really going to support you in your journey of being it till you see it. So without further ado, here is Keri Ford.

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.

All right, Be It babes. I am so excited. You might remember a while back when I was doing a recap with Brad and I said, "Yeah, I made a date with a few girls that I have never met. And they're coming out to Vegas, and we're going to hang out and we're gonna go out for dinner. We're gonna spend this weekend together." And people and people are like, "You don't know each other yet?" We're like, "Nope, we don't." And so we became very fast friends. I feel like I've known these women my whole life now even though it's in such a short stint, so Keri Ford is our guest today. She's an incredible woman. Keri, can you tell everyone who you are and what you're rocking?

Keri Ford  

First of all, I just love how we came into each other's worlds. And it's so true. People are like, "You guys are acting like you've known each other for years." And I feel like on some level, because of our parallel and fitness and our work there we have. (Lesley: Yeah) So my name is Keri Ford, and I'm the CEO of Elevate with Keri, and I'm a transformational coach. I started in fitness as a Certified Personal Trainer. And that was my first experience with coaching. And with the World Wide Web and the world of social media, I realized there was a demand for taking things online. But I was one of the OGs. And it was back before you could even really hire a coach to help you figure out what the fuck you were doing. And so I went back to corporate and then I came back to coaching and I elevated and went through my own transformation. And I just get to share the beautiful world of somatics with women that truly want to change their life from the inside out. So it's still wellness related. But I realized the intuitive eating component I had spent a long time teaching was just part of the work that I was doing and the bigger picture.

Lesley Logan  

Yeah, so you, I know, it's crazy that we were both in LA doing fitness, like I'm sure we crossed paths at some point, and didn't even know it. But what was that? So you went back to corporate world. Was that that change like for you to go from fitness to coaching and like somatic coaching and being a transformational coach? That I'm sure it has a nice and windy way of getting there. But like, did you notice you're going for as you start on that journey? Or are you kind of figuring it out as you went along?

Keri Ford  

I've always been ever figuring it out, I feel like it's the longest friggin path. Because when you're the first to do things in the online space, you're trying to figure it out for the first time along with all the other first timers. And I remember like watching other people kind of experience their big break, if you will, and being like, what am I doing wrong here? Like how am I not, how can I have other people besides my mom liking my post, you know. And it was really a whole different way to apply what I knew and and teach, you know, online, but I had no idea that I was headed to really be a somatics professional because I didn't even know what that was. (Lesley: Yeah) I just it's almost like I danced with that concept for a very long time without really even knowing that I was always gathering tools to teach this.

Lesley Logan  

Yeah, so just in case, we'll just say for Brad, can you explain like what somatics is? And like, how, how that how that makes how that's a special type of coaching?

Keri Ford  

Yeah, somatics is the mind, body connection, which are actually have never been separate. But most people think they're kind of how do I say and just like layman's terms that they just they feel kind of at war with themselves, right? Like, take diet mentality, for example, it's a really easy way to be like, "My body hates me. It's never doing what I want it to do." And this is where we can use the power of our mind and our nervous system to truly create new experien
