    Non-Diet Personal Trainer: Trainer Consulting & Personal Training

    What I’m All About I gain so much joy from fostering relationships with my clients and teaching them how to re-connect with their bodies through movement. I am a business owner, a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and a personal trainer. In addition to training I also co-host the podcast: Gal Pals, as well as hosting the Liveng Proof Podcast for 4+ years. My Training Philosophy I work with clients to help them gain acceptance of their body, and provide tools to connect and move their body in a sustainable and joy-filled way. You can read more about my training philosophy here. If you’re like me, and you prefer to listen, you can check out these podcast episodes to learn more about my training philosophy & values: – Wellness Without Obsession: A Non-Weight Loss Approach to Training– Non-Diet Personal Training: Trainer Consulting Types of Training I Offer: * One-on-One virtual personal training sessions (via zoom) * One-on-One in-person personal training sessions (available to local clients) * 12-Week Training Program A little bit more about me: I graduated from the University of New Hampshire, which is where I earned my B.S. in Biology.  I became an NASM certified personal trainer in 2013, which is when I also started my own business Liveng Proof, LLC. I’ve worked as a trainer ever since. I am now a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS).  I have worked with many clients over the years who have a history of an eating disorder, exercise addiction, or just a rocky relationship with exercise/ their bodies. I love working with clients and watching them deepen their relationship to their body and restore their relationship with movement. Non-Diet Trainer Consulting: There’s a lot of pressure on personal trainers to deliver a service to clients that want to lose weight or change their bodies. As I began my own path to recovery from diet culture, I struggled to offer my services in good conscience to my personal training clients. What the industry seemed to want, went against my inner values of trying to promote and educate clients on the practice of intuitive movement, intuitive eating, and body respect.  As I made this transition, one thing became clear: I wanted my clients to feel empowered. I wanted them to walk away with tools they could access to feel more connected to their body.  My training approach began to shift away from weight loss and an appearance-based f...

    LPP #142 What To Expect Moving Forward

    It’s always my hope that even if you have a different story that you can hear parts of yourself in the conversations had here, and that you can walk away with tools on how to navigate the not-often-spoken about topics that may be holding you back from living in the present. My mission is to offer you tools, insights and stories to help you on your journey.  But one of those journey’s I have neglected to address – which now seems glaringly obvious – is that of racism. I overlooked this experience most likely because of my privilege as a white person. I am waking up to my role as the “good white liberal”. No one wants to be thought of as racist, but by not speaking up about this topic – is in fact condoning it. So by not speaking about systemic racism I was playing a role in contributing to it.  Here are some resources you may want to look into: Books: White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor  Shows, Movies, & Documentaries : #blackAF (Netflix)13th (Netflix)When They See Us (Netflix)Dear White People (Netflix)12 Years A SlaveGreenbook Podcasts: Balance Black Girl Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/balanced-black-girl/id1438982040  Body Trauma: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/body-trauma-a-storytelling-podcast/id1510247972 2 Dope Queens: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2-dope-queens/id1097193327 Pod Save The People: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pod-save-the-people/id1230148653 @balancedles@balancedblackgirlpod@thefriendIneverwanted@bodytraumapod Email me: engrid@livengproof.comDM me: @livengproof

    LPP #140 My Birthday Reflections

    In this weeks Liveng Proof Podcast episode I’m share a recent episode I recorded on my second podcast: Gal Pals. This was a very special conversation that invited me to dig deep and reflect on myself. It brought up a lot of interesting stories as you will see. What kind of birthday dessert do you like? So your sun sign is a ______ do you relate to the typical characteristics of this sun sign? What’s your type: Myers Briggs:  Enneagram:  4 Tendencies:  If you had to change careers to something totally different and your education was paid for what would you train to do? What is something that most people assume about you that isn’t true? When do you feel the most like the most confident badass version of YOU? What is one item of clothing that makes you feel YOU? What is something you’ve recently discovered or re-discovered that you really like? What is a part of your daily routine that you are loving right now? I know you feel a deep connection with trees which is so beautiful- tell me about how that’s unfolded for you? What are some lessons you’ve learned from trees? What is a favorite birthday memory? What’s one of the best gifts you’ve ever received? What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received? Biggest lesson you learned from __ ? What is something you’ve gotten better at this year? What is something you still want to work on? Imagine the best version of YOU – you’re doing all your self-care, you’re feeling good, you’re wise AF – what words of wisdom would you have for us? If you could sit down with 10 year old self and tell her about your life now what would you be excited to tell her? What are you most excited about this year? What’s bringing you joy lately?

    LPP #139 Exploitation Vs. Authenticity, Honoring Your Inner Child, & The Process of Forgiveness with Madison Morrigan

    Madison Morrigan is a 4x international award winning life coach, speaker, and creator of Awaken Her Soul, a 14 week mentorship program designed to help womxn embody their worth, power and fullness. Centered on self-responsibility and full expression, Madison coaches ambitious and creative womxn to shed layers of old programming keeping them small and finally come home to their true selves. Madison has her degree in interpersonal communication with an emphasis in psychology from Missouri State University, has a certificate in conflict resolution and legal mediation, and is proudly Certified BYCA Coach. This conversation started rolling from the moment I hit record. I decided to just roll with a less “official” starting point and I kind of like the comfortability of it.  SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON IN THIS CONVERSATION WE DISCUSS: How she chose her name (Morrigan is the celtic goddess of war, death, and rebirth) Divorcing her husband & recent coming out experience as queer The resistance that she feels when she feels oblisgated to inform people of her sexualtiy  Wrestingling with not wanting exploiting herself for other people’s understanding, but also share authentically Social media can make us feel like “we” are the product, it can hinder us to really see one another as people “When we treat ourselves like a product, people stop seeing us as a person” How do you know what is sacred (aka not to be shared publicly)? Is social media, trauma bonding? She shares about her childhood, growing up with an alcoholic parent who she was enmeshed with Her experience with spirituality & religion Her coping mechanism of overidentification with high performance /work addiction Understanding our coping mechanisms/ trauma responses served us at one point but may no longer (once we feel ready to heal) Healing her relationship with high performance & owning her voice Upleveling ourselves into things that scare us Getting comfortable experiencing life as a participant/student/peer, accepting instead of being the leader and space holder The vulnerability of being seen in my power around other women, in person Realizing the self work, only works when we’re showing up eventually in relationship There’s information in our patterns (Am I usually the leader? Am I usually the space holder? Do I do things to avoid being the object of attention?) We are not our pain and/or trauma. We are not our coping mechanisms. We are not our beliefs or our stories. Target analogy: Outside ring: our person, our personality, the stories we tell ourselves (the self we become to accommodate the world). Middle ring: True Essence (who you’re actually here to be, outside of what culture/ or your trauma tells you to me). Inner ring: True Divine self  (we are all connected and made of the same thing) Why authenticity is not simply disclosure Processing forgiveness: I don’t have to be punish, resent, withhold, or be angry with someone to feel justified in my feelings Coming to terms with that you “I will never get what I needed” and learning to protect and honor your inner child Learning to honor & feel our anger and grief

    LPP #137 Reclaiming Your Mental Health Experience with Evie O’Conner

    Evie O’Conner is a trauma-informed yoga teacher and therapist in training. She is currently completing a Masters in the Clinical Mental Health program in Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology. Her offerings focus on awareness, allowance and integration of all layers of self: physical, mental, emotional, energetic, spiritual, societal, cultural and ancestral.  Evie teaches yoga classes, leads women’s groups and circles, offers 1:1 inner-child healing sessions, teaches Intuitive Eating and this year, is very excited to be taking on clients in her therapy practice. Evie believes deeply in each individual’s capacity for self-healing and views healing as a lifelong, non-linear journey. Her aspiration is to hold space for her clients to reconnect to the healer within themselves and the medicines of the natural world.  SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON CONNECT WITH EVIE: Website: www.evieyoga.com Instagram: @eviemarie.oconner CONNECT WITH ME: Email: engrid@livengproof.comInstagram: @livengproofLiveng Proof Podcast Website IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: Her natural curiosity & desire to learn as a child Our humanness is the doorway to the spiritual. What’s come up for her during this global uncertainty Informed consent in how we heal The western approach of the medical model. What this model excludes.  She offers an alternative inclusive approach to the medical model – for those who have not found resolution with the medical model – one that offers the patient agency and sovereignty in their healing journey. How seductive it can feel to use ways to escape reality  The non-linear journey of healing  She shares about her own struggle with an eating disorder from ages 10-19 Having gratitude for our coping mechanisms Learning to sit with our own pain rather than obsessing about the symptom.  Learning how the symptom (obsessive thoughts about food + body, or depression, anxiety, etc.) is an indicator of something that needs our attention. Working with diagnoses in mental health: when are they helpful? When are they harmful? Who do they serve? Who do they disempower? How a mental health diagnosis can feel like a trap to some and empowering to others.  Everyone is the master and expert of their own experience  The power differential that can occur between a therapist and client (therapeutic aggression).  How we can lean more towards a client centered approach where co-creation is the foundation of the relationship. The anti-psychiatry movement The history of diagnoses in mental health Psychiatry is a modern day witch hunt

Bri started Little Wandering Soul on Instagram in January 2019 when she was going through a hard time. Her relationship was deteriorating and she was just back to work after being on a leave of absence for her mental health struggles. As she struggled to find passion in her work, love life and within myself she took to Instagram as a way to express herself. She started to write transparently and authentically about what was going on in her life. About her struggles with depression, anxiety, coming out and her life-long journey of learning to love herself. As time went on and she wrote more about my experiences, people began reaching out and sharing their stories. Bri began feeling like she wasn’t alone anymore – she felt encouraged, valued and like she had purpose. It’s been less than a year and she is so grateful for this platform that has given her opportunity, connection, confidence and most importantly, a way to give back to her community.  She makes sure to leave everyone with this message as they find her page: While every story is different, know you are never alone in your struggle.
