00:04:50.529 --> 00:04:54.029
Guys Healthy Living Podcast. I have my friend,

00:04:54.069 --> 00:04:59.709
Joanne, and she's going to talk about her interesting

00:04:59.709 --> 00:05:04.740
stories. Welcome to the podcast. Thanks, Jimmy.

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.639
It's great to see you again. And thank you for

00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:12.600
having me on. You're very welcome. So tell me

00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:18.899
a little bit about yourself. As you know, fitness

00:05:18.899 --> 00:05:21.240
is one of my passions as well as yours. I've

00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.100
had a lifetime of dysfunctional relationship

00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:27.259
with food and eating and exercise. And it wasn't

00:05:27.259 --> 00:05:30.519
until you were fortunate, you discovered the

00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.399
importance and the relationship at a very young

00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.079
age. But it really wasn't until I was about 50

00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.980
that I really took a hard look at myself and

00:05:38.980 --> 00:05:42.819
began to turn my life around. And I actually

00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:46.500
lost 100 pounds at one point. But really, it

00:05:46.500 --> 00:05:49.620
wasn't about the weight. Even after that journey

00:05:49.620 --> 00:05:52.279
and I lost the weight, I still had to do some

00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:54.600
additional work on my emotional intelligence

00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.439
and to pull myself together. And that's really

00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.959
what happened. So, you know, I certainly am an

00:05:59.959 --> 00:06:03.800
advocate for people, you know, living healthier

00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:07.240
lifestyles. And I hope that my lesson is that

00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.740
they learn it young. Don't wait until you're

00:06:09.740 --> 00:06:14.509
50 to begin your journey. I don't know if I told

00:06:14.509 --> 00:06:20.149
you this before during, I think, when was the

00:06:20.149 --> 00:06:22.889
last time we talked? It's probably about six

00:06:22.889 --> 00:06:25.550
weeks ago. We haven't spoken in a while. Jeez,

00:06:25.610 --> 00:06:30.160
it feels like a lifetime ago. this pandemic is

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.600
annoying it is you're right it's almost i think

00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.779
we're coming out to a sense of normalcy pretty

00:06:35.779 --> 00:06:38.720
soon yeah i mean i said there was something called

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.319
normal true i said that's why i said a sense

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.079
because you know nobody there is no such thing

00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.800
as normal that's a great point yeah but uh i

00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:49.879
don't know if i told you this but there was this

00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:58.230
um so uh uh i the reason why um when i uh The

00:06:58.230 --> 00:07:02.110
reason I can continue to eat healthy is because

00:07:02.110 --> 00:07:07.350
I'm in karate and there's some certain foods

00:07:07.350 --> 00:07:10.850
you cannot eat on the same nights you have karate.

00:07:11.149 --> 00:07:18.069
For instance, for me, I can't have soup or stew

00:07:18.069 --> 00:07:22.069
because even though it has vegetables and meat

00:07:22.069 --> 00:07:27.350
in it, it's not enough. filling enough to make

00:07:27.350 --> 00:07:34.029
me, hey, let me go be ready for karate. But then

00:07:34.029 --> 00:07:37.930
there's other foods where sometimes it's too

00:07:37.930 --> 00:07:44.269
much. Like baked ziti, for instance. It's too

00:07:44.269 --> 00:07:48.870
heavy. The bloated cheese, the sauce can cause

00:07:48.870 --> 00:07:57.350
heartburn. And just so much extra sugar, depending

00:07:57.350 --> 00:08:01.050
on what kind of pasta you use. And I was like,

00:08:01.089 --> 00:08:03.730
and my parents sometimes like, oh, but it's full

00:08:03.730 --> 00:08:06.170
of protein. And I was like, just because it's

00:08:06.170 --> 00:08:08.350
full of protein doesn't mean it's the necessary

00:08:08.350 --> 00:08:12.209
protein and the healthy protein. You're right.

00:08:12.230 --> 00:08:14.170
And protein really is the key. How many nights

00:08:14.170 --> 00:08:17.589
do you do karate? Three nights a week. So three

00:08:17.589 --> 00:08:19.430
nights a week. So you have to be pretty disciplined

00:08:19.430 --> 00:08:21.629
three nights a week, which really is in some

00:08:21.629 --> 00:08:25.050
ways a benefit to you. It's a catalyst for you

00:08:25.050 --> 00:08:28.230
to refine your eating habits on that day. So

00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:30.970
yeah, that's a good strategy. And plus I also,

00:08:31.050 --> 00:08:36.210
I try to eat healthy six to seven times a week.

00:08:36.830 --> 00:08:38.870
Sometimes on the seventh, I have a cheat meal,

00:08:39.070 --> 00:08:42.649
depending if it's a worthy cheat meal. If it's

00:08:42.649 --> 00:08:46.179
not worthy, I'll save it for dessert. That's

00:08:46.179 --> 00:08:48.179
a good strategy, too. So I'm inspired by you

00:08:48.179 --> 00:08:51.480
because you're very disciplined. And I think

00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.259
that oftentimes that that's really the key, even

00:08:54.259 --> 00:08:57.039
when you don't have the motivation, because there

00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:59.299
are days when we don't we're not motivated. There

00:08:59.299 --> 00:09:01.320
are days I don't want to get up. There are days

00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.460
I don't, you know, feel like hitting the gym

00:09:03.460 --> 00:09:06.580
at 5 a .m. But if you're the key, I think, is

00:09:06.580 --> 00:09:08.519
discipline. You just have to force yourself to

00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:10.059
do it when you don't want to. And you really

00:09:10.059 --> 00:09:12.460
mastered that. So I think that that's really

00:09:12.460 --> 00:09:14.580
a great lesson for young people today, for any

00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:18.259
people today. So I think you're a great role

00:09:18.259 --> 00:09:21.519
model in that regard. Well, thank you. Well,

00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:27.120
I think people need to view it as it's a lifestyle.

00:09:27.419 --> 00:09:30.620
It's not just, hey, well, once I lose the weight,

00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:33.580
I can just eat whatever I want. It doesn't work

00:09:33.580 --> 00:09:35.779
that way, unfortunately. I would love to be able

00:09:35.779 --> 00:09:41.860
to do that. My brother, he seems to just eat

00:09:41.860 --> 00:09:44.480
whatever he wants and never gain an ounce. I'm

00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:48.730
like, That's ridiculous. But you know what? He

00:09:48.730 --> 00:09:51.409
will. He's going to be my age someday and it's

00:09:51.409 --> 00:09:53.549
going to catch up to him. So that's often what

00:09:53.549 --> 00:09:56.450
happens because as you age, your metabolism changes

00:09:56.450 --> 00:10:01.370
and the people who haven't learned that and don't

00:10:01.370 --> 00:10:04.149
take your example, it catches up to them. So

00:10:04.149 --> 00:10:07.490
I believe you'll be able to say to a mitologist

00:10:07.490 --> 00:10:11.570
one day. I would love to say that, but I don't

00:10:11.570 --> 00:10:14.679
think I would like to reek. There will be repercussions

00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:18.179
of that. Yeah, siblings are tough. That's for

00:10:18.179 --> 00:10:20.620
sure. I have three sisters, so I feel you there.

00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:27.570
So you told me you have an autistic child. I

00:10:27.570 --> 00:10:31.230
do. I have a 17 -year -old son who has Asperger's

00:10:31.230 --> 00:10:35.529
and I adore him. He's a sweetheart, but his life

00:10:35.529 --> 00:10:38.009
certainly has had some challenges. And he has

00:10:38.009 --> 00:10:43.210
some struggles with his diet and exercise. He's

00:10:43.210 --> 00:10:46.950
willing to diet, but I think in my experience,

00:10:47.250 --> 00:10:49.909
oftentimes children on the spectrum, they just

00:10:49.909 --> 00:10:52.190
have an affinity for carbs. And I don't know

00:10:52.190 --> 00:10:54.919
if that was your experience. But, you know, it's

00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:56.659
really difficult to get him. He likes protein,

00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.440
but he doesn't. He likes crackers and goldfish

00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.600
more. So and vegetables and fruits are really,

00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.659
you know, the plague to him. So it's been a tough

00:11:06.659 --> 00:11:11.980
challenge. I had a lovely relationship with with

00:11:11.980 --> 00:11:18.740
vegetables at that age as well. I I'm starting.

00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.600
I have. I've expanded my range of vegetables,

00:11:22.779 --> 00:11:28.000
but it kind of depends on how it's cooked in.

00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:31.000
If it's a little bit of olive oil and garlic,

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:39.740
and for it to be tender, I can eat them. But

00:11:39.740 --> 00:11:45.240
if it's just steamed or just raw, I'm like...

00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:50.559
No, I can't have broccoli raw. Well, I mean,

00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:53.879
my parents used to have me and my brother sit

00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:56.419
at the dinner table until we finished all our

00:11:56.419 --> 00:12:01.200
vegetables. And I could never finish my vegetables.

00:12:01.299 --> 00:12:04.740
But when dessert was at stake, it was like. okay

00:12:04.740 --> 00:12:07.580
i made my vegetables and it's like you know i

00:12:07.580 --> 00:12:09.779
wanted to throw up from the broccoli because

00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:14.299
like i hate broccoli i know but it's broccoli

00:12:14.299 --> 00:12:17.200
broccoli is the only vegetable my son likes he

00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:23.019
eats it every night it's funny my uh uh uh we

00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:27.539
we order these chinese food uh periodically um

00:12:27.539 --> 00:12:32.330
once in a while and uh I always like the beef

00:12:32.330 --> 00:12:36.289
and broccoli because it has a nice sauce and

00:12:36.289 --> 00:12:40.879
the broccoli soaks it all up. Oh, look, I didn't

00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:44.259
even taste the broccoli now. That's because it

00:12:44.259 --> 00:12:46.220
has all the fat in it. That's the good kind of

00:12:46.220 --> 00:12:49.659
broccoli. Yeah. So that's good. So once in a

00:12:49.659 --> 00:12:53.879
while. Yeah, that's a great treat. So I try to,

00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.200
you know, you know, since you and I have connected,

00:12:56.340 --> 00:12:59.019
I, you know, I try to encourage my son to check

00:12:59.019 --> 00:13:01.399
out your website because you are such an inspiration

00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:06.580
to. To anyone who's overcome, you had weight

00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:08.899
challenges yourself and I love how you pulled

00:13:08.899 --> 00:13:11.620
that together. What was the catalyst for you

00:13:11.620 --> 00:13:13.679
that made you want to change your lifestyle?

00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:19.639
I would say it was because of bullying. I got

00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:22.419
bullied all the way from elementary school all

00:13:22.419 --> 00:13:27.200
the way to high school and losing that 30 pounds.

00:13:27.740 --> 00:13:30.740
And even though it wasn't like a boatload of

00:13:30.740 --> 00:13:36.240
weight, I needed to lose that weight to see muscle.

00:13:36.700 --> 00:13:41.320
And once I saw the muscle and just the benefits

00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:45.340
from my mental health and everything, I was like,

00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:50.720
these guys don't have... I have enough confidence

00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.480
just to stand up in the middle of my math class,

00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:59.120
just to yell at them and tell them to leave me

00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:02.429
and my friends to hell alone. Of course, afterwards,

00:14:02.730 --> 00:14:06.110
they wanted to be my friend afterwards and say,

00:14:06.169 --> 00:14:10.090
please don't hurt us. And I was like, I won't

00:14:10.090 --> 00:14:15.110
hurt you yet if you leave me alone. But don't

00:14:15.110 --> 00:14:19.070
mess with me. And I don't want to be friends.

00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:23.740
I love that story because you, you stood up for

00:14:23.740 --> 00:14:26.820
yourself and you, and you adopted a healthier

00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:29.100
lifestyle. So it's such a, it's such a success

00:14:29.100 --> 00:14:31.679
all the way around. And it's funny, you know,

00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.240
that you mentioned that I love that small gains

00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.419
really change your, your lifestyle. Like even

00:14:37.419 --> 00:14:40.259
today, you know, my son's trying to lose 20 pounds

00:14:40.259 --> 00:14:42.820
and one of my younger sons and, you know, he

00:14:42.820 --> 00:14:45.440
came in and he lost three pounds and now he's

00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:47.840
just so much more focused, you know, and I love

00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:50.279
that. I think that people forget you. You have

00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:52.779
the end goal. You have to lose 30 pounds, 40

00:14:52.779 --> 00:14:56.539
pounds. But just a small, you know, a three pound

00:14:56.539 --> 00:14:59.360
loss really can get your momentum going and change

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:02.600
your mindset. And then oftentimes you become

00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:04.379
your own best cheerleader and you want to keep

00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:06.419
going, keep going. I mean, that's a lot of that

00:15:06.419 --> 00:15:09.519
is part of the secret to your initial success,

00:15:09.620 --> 00:15:13.059
at least. Forget everything that you know about

00:15:13.059 --> 00:15:16.419
a web browser because you will be blown away

00:15:16.419 --> 00:15:23.419
by psychic. It's no ordinary web browser like

00:15:23.419 --> 00:15:28.240
Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and all

00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:30.759
the other web browsers out there. It's based

00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:36.080
on productivity. And let me just name a few other

00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:39.480
functionalities that it has. It's very fast.

00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:45.019
It blocks ads by default. You don't see that

00:15:45.019 --> 00:15:49.750
with Google Chrome, do you? Nope. And there's

00:15:49.750 --> 00:15:53.870
also a built -in sidebar so you can have all

00:15:53.870 --> 00:15:59.210
your tools and systems all in one place without

00:15:59.210 --> 00:16:04.190
having to go search and wait for the webpage

00:16:04.190 --> 00:16:06.970
to load. It's just right there with a click of

00:16:06.970 --> 00:16:10.970
a button. Try Sidekick out below with the link

00:16:10.970 --> 00:16:14.850
in the show notes and descriptions for more information

00:16:14.850 --> 00:16:20.110
about Sidekick. Boost your productivity probably

00:16:20.110 --> 00:16:23.750
tenfold. Because that's what I use it for, is

00:16:23.750 --> 00:16:26.889
productivity. Check out Sidekick and tell them

00:16:26.889 --> 00:16:33.230
I sent you. It's kind of like me and my podcast

00:16:33.230 --> 00:16:37.769
streak. So far, I've been on 59 different podcasts.

00:16:38.409 --> 00:16:43.970
And people say, don't you get bored? Actually,

00:16:44.090 --> 00:16:47.830
it's the part that I really like. Instead of

00:16:47.830 --> 00:16:50.889
just writing to my website and hopefully people

00:16:50.889 --> 00:16:54.250
finding my stuff, I actually get to meet new

00:16:54.250 --> 00:16:57.669
people and I get to talk to new people, not just

00:16:57.669 --> 00:17:01.279
my parents. I know you're so busy. I'm still

00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:03.279
waiting for you to come on mine. You haven't

00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:05.740
booked an appointment with me yet. So I didn't

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:08.619
have to squeeze me in. No, we just had our initial

00:17:08.619 --> 00:17:12.339
and then, and then I booked on here. So, so we

00:17:12.339 --> 00:17:15.420
have a whole nother conversation to come and

00:17:15.420 --> 00:17:17.180
I get to share you with the world. So that's

00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:19.900
going to be an exciting day for me. Oh, I'm so

00:17:19.900 --> 00:17:24.279
sorry. I can't believe today when we were chatting

00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:26.839
back and forth on messenger, I looked back and

00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.230
it's like, Oh, whoops, I let this one go. Well,

00:17:31.450 --> 00:17:33.049
that's good. You're saving the best. You're saving

00:17:33.049 --> 00:17:35.690
the best for last and put me at the end of the

00:17:35.690 --> 00:17:37.670
month. So I'll be at least the last at the end

00:17:37.670 --> 00:17:40.230
of the month. And that'll be a great, great opportunity

00:17:40.230 --> 00:17:42.869
for me. So I'm looking forward to it. I guess

00:17:42.869 --> 00:17:46.609
my time has just gone away from me. Like next

00:17:46.609 --> 00:17:49.509
week is my spring break and I have like five

00:17:49.509 --> 00:17:52.529
more weeks of class. And I was like, oh my God.

00:17:53.630 --> 00:17:55.569
That means you have a lot to do in the next five

00:17:55.569 --> 00:18:01.900
weeks, right? I hope not. Now, how does COVID

00:18:01.900 --> 00:18:04.380
impact you? Are you doing virtual schooling?

00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:09.059
Everything is virtual and it kind of gets tiring

00:18:09.059 --> 00:18:12.720
after a while because it just, you don't really

00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.400
get to interact with people. My last class, last

00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:22.200
semester, we got to interact a lot with the teacher

00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:26.720
and the other students, but this one's like some

00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:29.940
people, ask questions other people sit quietly

00:18:29.940 --> 00:18:32.880
and it's like you know so we could just actually

00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:35.440
talk to each other or get to know each other

00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.460
first but we just went right into class and i'm

00:18:38.460 --> 00:18:43.160
like Well, I think that that'll probably turn

00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.579
around for you soon and you will be able to do

00:18:45.579 --> 00:18:48.480
some some more mingling because I really think

00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:51.559
it's tough for students to have to, you know,

00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:53.980
you're virtually at home and then you have to

00:18:53.980 --> 00:18:55.839
do that. You're responsible for the work and

00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:59.720
you miss some of the connection, especially especially

00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:01.839
for people have a difficult time socializing.

00:19:01.900 --> 00:19:04.319
So I think it's it's great. Podcasting has been

00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.380
a really great experience for me, too, that I've

00:19:07.380 --> 00:19:10.279
adopted during and during COVID because it's

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:12.940
given me. an opportunity to share some about

00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:16.559
myself and to help others and hopefully inspire

00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:18.880
them. And I agree with you that it's become a

00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:21.640
great vehicle for connection and to meet new

00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:24.200
friends. You and I never would have met if it

00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:27.799
weren't for the world of podcasting. And I really

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:31.059
value that connection. So it's been great for

00:19:31.059 --> 00:19:35.839
me. I have a question for you. What were some

00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:40.500
of your eating habits when you were... Growing

00:19:40.500 --> 00:19:44.680
up. So when I was growing up, you know, and that

00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:48.900
was a long time ago, I had a similar parental.

00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:53.220
My parents had similar views as yours. You sit

00:19:53.220 --> 00:19:56.769
at the table, you eat all your food. I think

00:19:56.769 --> 00:20:00.490
one of the things that for me is that my mother

00:20:00.490 --> 00:20:03.569
worked nights and my father was responsible for

00:20:03.569 --> 00:20:06.930
the cooking, which meant we ate out quite a bit.

00:20:07.009 --> 00:20:09.049
You know, we would play Little League and it

00:20:09.049 --> 00:20:11.730
was just my sisters and I. And then, you know,

00:20:11.730 --> 00:20:14.670
he would take us for McDonald's and then we'd

00:20:14.670 --> 00:20:17.890
go for ice cream after that. And we went and

00:20:17.890 --> 00:20:20.809
because we were and this is stereotypical, but

00:20:20.809 --> 00:20:22.849
because we were girls, I mean, there weren't

00:20:22.849 --> 00:20:25.990
a lot of sporting opportunities for girls. during

00:20:25.990 --> 00:20:29.769
that time. So we didn't do much of that. And

00:20:29.769 --> 00:20:34.089
really over time, I believe that I use food as

00:20:34.089 --> 00:20:36.430
a coping mechanism and I became a binge eater.

00:20:36.849 --> 00:20:39.890
And then I, and there were periods of my life

00:20:39.890 --> 00:20:43.910
when I was anorexic. So I think that really I

00:20:43.910 --> 00:20:47.089
use food for many different reasons and not as

00:20:47.089 --> 00:20:50.730
fuel. And we didn't have the nutritional knowledge

00:20:50.730 --> 00:20:52.529
at that time. Our parents didn't speak to us

00:20:52.529 --> 00:20:54.809
about, they didn't talk about that in school

00:20:54.809 --> 00:20:56.730
and my parents didn't speak to me about that.

00:20:56.769 --> 00:21:00.650
So really. I use food as something it wasn't

00:21:00.650 --> 00:21:03.109
intended to be, either as a punishment or as

00:21:03.109 --> 00:21:07.950
a comfort or just out of boredom. And we didn't

00:21:07.950 --> 00:21:11.029
have healthy options. Back then, carbs and macros

00:21:11.029 --> 00:21:13.029
weren't talked about. Every night, my mother

00:21:13.029 --> 00:21:17.589
would give us a slab of meat and a plate of potatoes.

00:21:17.950 --> 00:21:20.990
I came from an Irish background and that's what

00:21:20.990 --> 00:21:23.710
we ate every night. And as you know, if you eat

00:21:23.710 --> 00:21:27.190
a plate of mashed potatoes, it's - probably not

00:21:27.190 --> 00:21:30.009
in your best interest unless if it's boiled with

00:21:30.009 --> 00:21:33.470
no butter or mashed potatoes without butter right

00:21:33.470 --> 00:21:37.950
but who wants that that's true but yeah i'm actually

00:21:37.950 --> 00:21:42.950
uh um now these days when i uh have potatoes

00:21:42.950 --> 00:21:47.410
i have no butter on them and it's either baked

00:21:47.410 --> 00:21:57.329
or put in the oven or microwave or uh are boiled,

00:21:57.369 --> 00:22:01.450
but no butter and no salt. That's pretty impressive.

00:22:01.549 --> 00:22:03.650
But you know, and it's funny, I had so many potatoes

00:22:03.650 --> 00:22:06.910
growing up. I rarely have a potato today and

00:22:06.910 --> 00:22:08.589
it's not that I don't care for them, but they're

00:22:08.589 --> 00:22:10.670
just not my, my favorite anymore. And if I do,

00:22:10.750 --> 00:22:13.730
it's never, I don't want to say never on Thanksgiving,

00:22:13.849 --> 00:22:16.130
I might have mashed potatoes, but I'm more, I

00:22:16.130 --> 00:22:18.829
like roasted potatoes or once in a while I'll

00:22:18.829 --> 00:22:21.329
have some French fries, but I hardly ever have

00:22:21.329 --> 00:22:24.529
pasta or potatoes anymore. And not because I'm

00:22:24.529 --> 00:22:27.309
adverse to them. I'll still have pretzels or

00:22:27.309 --> 00:22:30.609
other types of carbs, but I'm not, I don't have

00:22:30.609 --> 00:22:32.430
much of an attraction for those things anymore.

00:22:32.789 --> 00:22:35.750
Yeah. I'm not really a big fan of fries anymore

00:22:35.750 --> 00:22:40.970
either. Especially when I used to went to McDonald's

00:22:40.970 --> 00:22:43.789
a lot because you could either get them hot or

00:22:43.789 --> 00:22:48.200
cold or soggy. That's basically your three choices.

00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:50.960
I think I should just put that on the menu. Hey,

00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.720
do you want hot fries, cold fries, or soggy fries?

00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:59.140
It's like a magic trick. And then, yeah, if you

00:22:59.140 --> 00:23:00.980
get, there's only one out of three you really

00:23:00.980 --> 00:23:03.440
want. And that's, you know, that's a long shot.

00:23:03.819 --> 00:23:09.720
Yeah. And so, but like last night, I had this

00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:14.519
chicken sandwich, had a lettuce, tomato, and

00:23:16.190 --> 00:23:23.250
bacon on it and uh and um and what and it came

00:23:23.250 --> 00:23:27.089
with the sweet potato fries and so uh i decided

00:23:27.089 --> 00:23:30.869
to eat the sweet potato fries it was hot and

00:23:30.869 --> 00:23:35.309
it was actually good sweet potato fries uh i

00:23:35.309 --> 00:23:38.910
don't think i mean yeah sorry it was kind of

00:23:38.910 --> 00:23:42.480
unhealthy fries but i mean It could be a lot

00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:45.039
worse. It could be extra salt and could be extra,

00:23:45.259 --> 00:23:49.660
it could just be deep fried and whatnot. But

00:23:49.660 --> 00:23:53.980
I was like, I barely have fries anymore. And

00:23:53.980 --> 00:23:57.099
to me, last night, I think it was about like

00:23:57.099 --> 00:24:01.259
four or five fries. So I was like, it's not too

00:24:01.259 --> 00:24:04.619
bad. I think sweet potato fries are a great option.

00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:06.380
And I think you want to, you want to live your

00:24:06.380 --> 00:24:08.819
life in moderation. There's something you want,

00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.339
you know, if it were me and I wanted those sweet

00:24:11.339 --> 00:24:13.599
potato fries and I was out to dinner and I wouldn't

00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:15.740
have them, they would drive me crazy. They would

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:18.279
be in my mind for the entire night. And then

00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:20.960
instead I would at midnight, I'd be up having,

00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:23.240
you know, Lay's potato chips or something to

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:26.220
try to substitute that. So I'm, I encourage anybody

00:24:26.220 --> 00:24:29.440
who really wants something to go for it. You

00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:31.970
know, you just have to keep in check. for your

00:24:31.970 --> 00:24:34.589
next meal. And, and I think that that's, that

00:24:34.589 --> 00:24:36.849
for me is the key, you know, because I would

00:24:36.849 --> 00:24:39.750
find myself, if I deprive myself of something,

00:24:39.809 --> 00:24:42.109
then I would have six of something else. And

00:24:42.109 --> 00:24:44.069
it really, and I used to do that on the holidays

00:24:44.069 --> 00:24:47.450
all the time. I would be when I was in really

00:24:47.450 --> 00:24:49.630
a dysfunctional state, I would go to Christmas

00:24:49.630 --> 00:24:54.019
dinner and I would. be fanatical about not having

00:24:54.019 --> 00:24:56.440
it and then i would come home at night after

00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:58.380
i wouldn't eat in front of my family then i would

00:24:58.380 --> 00:25:00.259
come home at night when everybody was sleeping

00:25:00.259 --> 00:25:03.460
i would be eating you know the chocolate santa's

00:25:03.460 --> 00:25:06.680
or when i could have really enjoyed a meal that

00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:08.680
i would have appreciated and loved and i deprived

00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:12.279
myself of that and then i was really ravenous

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:14.640
later on and it just spiraled out of control

00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:20.529
well for me during this christmas break or holiday

00:25:20.529 --> 00:25:27.529
breaks i uh like uh for instance uh i like to

00:25:27.529 --> 00:25:32.210
uh like last weekend i gave myself a treat by

00:25:32.210 --> 00:25:37.509
having uh two christmas cookies uh uh but then

00:25:37.509 --> 00:25:41.089
on sunday didn't have any i had on saturday night

00:25:41.089 --> 00:25:44.250
and i was like not gonna hurt me and i was like

00:25:44.250 --> 00:25:46.009
i'll probably just burn it off right on monday

00:25:46.670 --> 00:25:51.150
karate class and as i burnt that off and i had

00:25:51.150 --> 00:25:54.210
a workout on tuesday morning and i was like it's

00:25:54.210 --> 00:25:59.170
probably still burnt it off and uh and i'm not

00:25:59.170 --> 00:26:04.009
and i'm i know i'm uh i know i'm younger and

00:26:04.009 --> 00:26:09.150
i have fast metabolism and whatnot but uh for

00:26:09.150 --> 00:26:14.430
me i i love them i love my mom bakes uh Christmas

00:26:14.430 --> 00:26:19.309
cookies and she accused me this morning and I

00:26:19.309 --> 00:26:22.390
had to correct her and I was like well I was

00:26:22.390 --> 00:26:24.710
like I don't want to just bake for too big and

00:26:24.710 --> 00:26:27.269
then you won't eat and because I end up eating

00:26:27.269 --> 00:26:29.990
it all and say where have you been the last two

00:26:29.990 --> 00:26:33.349
weekends as I've been having your Christmas cookies

00:26:33.349 --> 00:26:36.170
out in the garage as I may not be maybe I'm not

00:26:36.170 --> 00:26:39.630
eating it fast enough as you are you would be

00:26:39.630 --> 00:26:44.019
but I do have them here and there. I just don't

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:47.160
have them during the day because it's like, nope,

00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:50.380
can't do it. I'll just be hyper for karate class

00:26:50.380 --> 00:26:52.980
and it's like, hyper, hyper, hyper, stand still.

00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:56.700
I think I think that's great. And I think, too,

00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:00.220
even I think people make the mistake that they

00:27:00.220 --> 00:27:03.359
think that willpower is going to cut it and willpower

00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.279
never, never stands alone. It always needs a

00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:09.140
little bit of help. So you have a plan. You have

00:27:09.140 --> 00:27:11.599
two cookies at a time. So I think willpower with

00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:14.359
the plan really, really is part of the key to

00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:17.519
your success. I mean, because willpower and I

00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:20.039
think that people punish themselves for not if

00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:22.700
they if they fall, if they falter and then they're

00:27:22.700 --> 00:27:24.880
like, oh. I was so weak, I didn't have enough

00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:27.099
willpower, but it's really not about the willpower.

00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:30.359
It's really about meal planning and making room

00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:34.180
for snacks and fitting in, like you said, a cheat

00:27:34.180 --> 00:27:36.480
meal when you need it. I mean, that doesn't work

00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:39.420
for me, but I love the idea of it. But for me,

00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:41.640
I recognize that a cheat meal is gonna turn into

00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:43.980
a cheat day and then a cheat day could spiral

00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:47.420
into a cheat week. So I try to keep that in moderation,

00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:50.400
but that's a plan that works for me. And I love

00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:52.539
that two cookies is a plan that works for you.

00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:55.420
And I think that that's great advice for people.

00:27:55.980 --> 00:28:02.319
And so I have another question for you. What

00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:07.400
is it like to be a parent to a person who's on

00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:11.920
the autistic spectrum? Now I could ask my mom,

00:28:12.019 --> 00:28:14.779
but I don't really want to find that information

00:28:14.779 --> 00:28:19.990
out. Well, I think for your mom, it's... it's

00:28:19.990 --> 00:28:22.569
too close to home and it would be difficult for

00:28:22.569 --> 00:28:25.490
her to answer that. And for me, if my son was

00:28:25.490 --> 00:28:28.009
asking, it would be difficult for me to tell

00:28:28.009 --> 00:28:33.109
him. And I think that when you're expecting a

00:28:33.109 --> 00:28:36.380
baby. you have all of these hopes and dreams

00:28:36.380 --> 00:28:40.019
for a child, you know, and we all romanticize

00:28:40.019 --> 00:28:42.619
what that's going to be. We think, oh, my son,

00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:45.299
you know, when I found out he was going to be

00:28:45.299 --> 00:28:48.500
a boy, you know, immediately you think he's going

00:28:48.500 --> 00:28:50.599
to be captain of the football team or president

00:28:50.599 --> 00:28:55.619
of the United States or going to NASA. And the

00:28:55.619 --> 00:28:59.069
same with a... a girl, you know, whatever you,

00:28:59.109 --> 00:29:03.829
I, I only have sons. So whatever you images that

00:29:03.829 --> 00:29:07.130
you have for their success and future. And then,

00:29:07.130 --> 00:29:09.829
you know, as time goes on, when, when you first

00:29:09.829 --> 00:29:13.509
get that diagnosis it's initially heartbreaking

00:29:13.509 --> 00:29:17.470
and it's not heartbreaking because you're disappointed

00:29:17.470 --> 00:29:22.410
or you think any less of your child or love your

00:29:22.410 --> 00:29:24.950
child any differently. It's because, you know,

00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:27.640
that their life is going to be more difficult

00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:30.880
and no parent wants their child's life to be

00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:34.779
difficult. So you have to, and there's a, there's

00:29:34.779 --> 00:29:38.799
a little bit of grief because you. We are audio

and images and dreams, you know, and not to say

00:30:45.900 --> 00:30:48.319
that somebody on the spectrum can't be anything

00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:50.680
that they want to be. They can be, but it's much

00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:52.839
more difficult, as you know, to be captain of

00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:55.259
the football team because, you know, there's

00:30:55.259 --> 00:30:56.839
a bullying component and, you know, there's a

00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:00.500
popularity component. And, you know, that, you

00:31:00.500 --> 00:31:06.269
know, like my son would never. The entire realm

00:31:06.269 --> 00:31:09.490
of football, you know, they're screaming and

00:31:09.490 --> 00:31:11.849
he didn't didn't like loud sounds. And there

00:31:11.849 --> 00:31:13.730
were just things that would never align for him

00:31:13.730 --> 00:31:16.869
in that world if he had wanted it, perhaps. But

00:31:16.869 --> 00:31:19.150
it just wouldn't have worked. And I think that

00:31:19.150 --> 00:31:22.690
and he had some some academic challenges. So

00:31:22.690 --> 00:31:25.250
I realize he probably isn't going to be president

00:31:25.250 --> 00:31:28.069
of the United States, maybe. But and I wouldn't

00:31:28.069 --> 00:31:30.089
even wish that for him now. I mean, that was

00:31:30.089 --> 00:31:32.390
a different time. Thanks to our sponsorship.

like me and like to learn new stuff, I don't

always have time to read 11 -minute articles

00:32:16.450 --> 00:32:22.410
or 15 -minute articles during the day. So with

00:32:22.410 --> 00:32:25.549

go check out my friends at Deep Stash. You won't

00:32:33.339 --> 00:32:41.019
regret it. So I think, and I think as a parent,

00:32:41.059 --> 00:32:46.000
there were challenges because I felt. For instance,

00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:48.140
when we would go to a birthday party and he's

00:32:48.140 --> 00:32:50.539
much he's very high functioning. But at that

00:32:50.539 --> 00:32:53.480
time, he would run around all of the time. And

00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:55.200
I was thinking about that today. You know, we

00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:56.700
would go to a birthday party and he would just

00:32:56.700 --> 00:32:58.380
be running around, running around, running around.

00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:00.339
He would never sit still, never talk to the other

00:33:00.339 --> 00:33:03.279
kids. And the only reason he was invited is because

00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:05.519
at that time, you know, you invited the whole

00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:08.799
class here. You know, so I think that if he was

00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:11.680
if the you know, in first grade, you're invited

00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:15.150
to the party in fifth grade or now he's. a junior

00:33:15.150 --> 00:33:16.849
in high school, he never gets invited anywhere.

00:33:17.490 --> 00:33:20.789
And I think that when he was running around,

00:33:21.029 --> 00:33:24.950
there was a little bit of, you know, because

00:33:24.950 --> 00:33:28.089
it was a struggle for me too. And I felt as if

00:33:28.089 --> 00:33:31.710
I was excluded. The other moms didn't talk to

00:33:31.710 --> 00:33:33.529
me because I'm sure they didn't know how to approach

00:33:33.529 --> 00:33:35.750
me, you know, because my challenges were different.

00:33:36.089 --> 00:33:38.289
So, you know, there are probably instances in

00:33:38.289 --> 00:33:40.990
your life where you felt excluded. I'm sure your

00:33:40.990 --> 00:33:43.819
mom felt that way too. because the other moms

00:33:43.819 --> 00:33:46.160
probably didn't embrace her. And at least in

00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:50.220
my situation, they didn't. So I wasn't in with

00:33:50.220 --> 00:33:53.480
the other popular moms and I wasn't invited to

00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:56.079
parties. And I believe it was because of my son.

00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:59.059
And I didn't need that. I don't need that. But

00:33:59.059 --> 00:34:03.539
I think it was just, it made me reframe my thoughts

00:34:03.539 --> 00:34:06.740
of those other parents. And it was difficult

00:34:06.740 --> 00:34:10.510
for me. I saw them in a different light and I

00:34:10.510 --> 00:34:12.510
felt as if they could have been more compassionate.

00:34:12.610 --> 00:34:19.170
And when I really needed help during those early

00:34:19.170 --> 00:34:23.800
initial days and challenges, I wish that. they

00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:26.980
would have helped me and lended and embraced

00:34:26.980 --> 00:34:29.500
me and said, hey, because I had two other sons

00:34:29.500 --> 00:34:32.239
too. Let me take your other son. Let me help

00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:34.659
you at basketball practice. Let me invite your

00:34:34.659 --> 00:34:36.659
son to a party. And those things didn't happen.

00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:39.780
And I lost my desire to want to be friends with

00:34:39.780 --> 00:34:42.539
those people. So, you know, I was kind of alone

00:34:42.539 --> 00:34:45.179
for a long time. I felt alone in my neighborhood,

00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:50.079
in my community. And until I started forming,

00:34:50.179 --> 00:34:51.960
and I don't know if you did this in your community,

00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:54.710
you know, Then we started going to social groups

00:34:54.710 --> 00:34:58.789
and then I met other parents with children on

00:34:58.789 --> 00:35:02.150
the spectrum. Then I felt as if I had some friendships

00:35:02.150 --> 00:35:03.929
and some camaraderie, but that didn't really

00:35:03.929 --> 00:35:07.329
happen until he was five or six. It was a tough

00:35:07.329 --> 00:35:12.030
three or four years, but I love my son. I would

00:35:12.030 --> 00:35:15.050
not trade him from the world. He's the most kind,

00:35:15.230 --> 00:35:18.409
compassionate. He's actually the nicest person

00:35:18.409 --> 00:35:20.909
I've ever met. He cares about people in a way

00:35:20.909 --> 00:35:25.309
that I don't, you know, if we go by a construction

00:35:25.309 --> 00:35:28.449
site and, you know, there, you know, he wants

00:35:28.449 --> 00:35:30.530
us to slow down because he doesn't want to risk

00:35:30.530 --> 00:35:33.030
their lives or like you had an experience today

00:35:33.030 --> 00:35:35.750
at Staples. If we went into Staples and I was

00:35:35.750 --> 00:35:38.670
disgruntled with the clerk, you know, he would

00:35:38.670 --> 00:35:40.769
call me out and say, mom, that person is doing

00:35:40.769 --> 00:35:45.030
their job and your annoyance is you're taking

00:35:45.030 --> 00:35:47.309
it out on somebody who doesn't deserve it. So

00:35:47.309 --> 00:35:50.449
he has a maturity and a compassion and empathy

00:35:50.449 --> 00:35:54.090
for people that. That is amazing. And I think

00:35:54.090 --> 00:35:56.929
that I think being on the spectrum is part of

00:35:56.929 --> 00:35:59.550
that. So I wouldn't change him for the world.

00:35:59.590 --> 00:36:01.769
He was meant the way to be the way he was. I

00:36:01.769 --> 00:36:05.309
was meant to be his mother. And he has enriched

00:36:05.309 --> 00:36:08.829
my life and made me his presence in the world

00:36:08.829 --> 00:36:11.610
makes me a better person. And I'm sure your mom

00:36:11.610 --> 00:36:14.550
feels the same way, too. I guess I'm a very.

00:36:16.269 --> 00:36:24.630
I guess I'm not very polite when I'm in stories.

00:36:24.829 --> 00:36:27.429
I mean, I didn't ever bite someone's head off

00:36:27.429 --> 00:36:31.789
in the stories, but I was just disgruntled, just

00:36:31.789 --> 00:36:35.309
mumbling to myself, looking at the prices of

00:36:35.309 --> 00:36:39.309
just looking for extra USB ports for my computers.

00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:44.420
I had two computers and one of them only comes

00:36:44.420 --> 00:36:47.659
with one. And I was like, oh, gee, $500 computer

00:36:47.659 --> 00:36:54.900
can't get two? Come on. But I was just kind of

00:36:54.900 --> 00:36:57.260
disgruntled because, and I didn't mind getting

00:36:57.260 --> 00:36:59.760
out and about because I wanted some fresh air.

00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:06.260
But I was like, really? For just four ports?

00:37:08.940 --> 00:37:13.320
40 bucks and like that's a rep i was like i know

00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:17.079
retail has to make their money but come on that's

00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:20.159
that's ridiculous i was like i'm not looking

00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:22.119
for something fancy i'm not even looking for

00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:25.000
something to charge or something i just i just

00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:27.699
want uh something to stick in the side of my

00:37:27.699 --> 00:37:30.739
computer here's some extra ports that should

00:37:30.739 --> 00:37:34.739
be like i don't know 20 bucks at most i don't

00:37:34.739 --> 00:37:39.150
know but But your strengths are something different

00:37:39.150 --> 00:37:41.429
than his. You know, we all have our own strengths

00:37:41.429 --> 00:37:44.190
and weaknesses, whereas you're an entrepreneur

00:37:44.190 --> 00:37:47.949
where I don't envision you have a different drive,

00:37:48.309 --> 00:37:51.369
a passion and an ambition that he's not there

00:37:51.369 --> 00:37:53.909
yet. You know, you identified what it is that

00:37:53.909 --> 00:37:56.030
you need to do. You're you're an entrepreneur.

00:37:56.070 --> 00:37:57.829
You're a business person. You're a successful

00:37:57.829 --> 00:38:00.869
podcaster. And as a young person, I think that

00:38:00.869 --> 00:38:04.349
and you're a great communicator and he's not

00:38:04.349 --> 00:38:08.230
there yet. Communication. isn't his forte, but

00:38:08.230 --> 00:38:10.449
I think that your strengths, you've developed

00:38:10.449 --> 00:38:12.849
them and you're successful than many people your

00:38:12.849 --> 00:38:15.670
age. And you certainly have a drive and a passion

00:38:15.670 --> 00:38:17.909
and an inspirational story that others don't

00:38:17.909 --> 00:38:22.030
have. So I think that, you know, hey, we all

00:38:22.030 --> 00:38:25.469
get disgruntled or annoyed. Your strengths are

00:38:25.469 --> 00:38:27.190
something different and they're certainly something

00:38:27.190 --> 00:38:30.150
to be applauded and commended. And I'm so proud

00:38:30.150 --> 00:38:32.909
of you. And I stand with your mother. I think

00:38:32.909 --> 00:38:38.480
that you're an amazing man. Thank you. But I

00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:41.579
just want to clarify for all my listeners, I

00:38:41.579 --> 00:38:44.980
did not yell at anyone specifically. I had my

00:38:44.980 --> 00:38:48.139
mask on and I was just kind of like, what a rip

00:38:48.139 --> 00:38:52.280
off. And you were right. That is an inflated

00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:55.769
price. So I agree with you there. Yeah. So I

00:38:55.769 --> 00:38:57.889
was like, that's a crazy price. And it's like,

00:38:57.949 --> 00:39:00.150
I could get the same thing, get the same kind

00:39:00.150 --> 00:39:04.230
of thing from Amazon for seven bucks. Sure. I

00:39:04.230 --> 00:39:06.989
have to pay for shipping, but you think about

00:39:06.989 --> 00:39:09.409
if I had to buy at the store, I still have to

00:39:09.409 --> 00:39:14.130
pay tax. So it's 40 bucks. And plus, I think

00:39:14.130 --> 00:39:17.269
that I don't know what the tax rate here in Pennsylvania

00:39:17.269 --> 00:39:21.110
is, but I think it's like, I don't even know.

00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:25.880
So you're a savvy shopper too. That's your list

00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:29.519
of attributes. Yeah. I just didn't have a way

00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:32.079
to find the good deals. I even had some tools

00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:34.719
in my web browser to tell me, it's like, you

00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:36.519
could get a good deal off of this website. It's

00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:40.469
like, okay, I'm going to go there. Well, you

00:39:40.469 --> 00:39:43.010
should add some affiliate links to your podcast,

00:39:43.369 --> 00:39:47.210
things like that. Then you can monetize that

00:39:47.210 --> 00:39:49.550
a little bit or your website for things, your

00:39:49.550 --> 00:39:52.590
computer equipment, your fitness equipment. That's

00:39:52.590 --> 00:39:56.150
a great avenue too for someone who you really

00:39:56.150 --> 00:39:59.670
have a brand, you've branded yourself and you

00:39:59.670 --> 00:40:03.389
could really capitalize on the fitness community

00:40:03.389 --> 00:40:06.789
and the tools and equipment that you utilize.

00:40:12.019 --> 00:40:14.420
So tell me a little bit, do you have your own

00:40:14.420 --> 00:40:19.119
website? I do have my own website. My name is

00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:23.679
Joanne Tierney Daniel. So almost everything that

00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:27.500
you can associate with me is called JTD Coaches

00:40:27.500 --> 00:40:33.159
Me. So my website is www .jtdcoachesme. I can

00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:37.059
be found on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter

00:40:37.059 --> 00:40:41.159
under those handles. I'm not on TikTok yet. I

00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:43.000
have to brush up on my dancing skills before

00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:46.190
I get to that realm. That's where you can find

00:40:46.190 --> 00:40:49.050
me and you find more information about me. You

00:40:49.050 --> 00:40:51.789
can reach out to me directly. My podcast links

00:40:51.789 --> 00:40:55.829
are on there as well. It's funny. People always

00:40:55.829 --> 00:40:59.190
think that TikTok is just for dancing. I actually

00:40:59.190 --> 00:41:03.110
put some of my podcasts on there, just some promotions

00:41:03.110 --> 00:41:09.230
and whatnot. And I actually, like 189 people

00:41:09.230 --> 00:41:15.050
played my podcast on there. So I was like, Okay.

00:41:16.090 --> 00:41:17.530
That's amazing. You're going to have to teach

00:41:17.530 --> 00:41:19.670
me how to do it. That is something that I want

00:41:19.670 --> 00:41:27.030
to learn. All right. So I'm with you there. So

00:41:27.030 --> 00:41:30.130
when you master it, you'll have to add that when

00:41:30.130 --> 00:41:32.429
you come on to my show, you'll have it mastered

00:41:32.429 --> 00:41:34.800
and you can give me some tips. I don't think

00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.559
I would have it mastered. There's always something

00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:40.840
better. All right, well, we'll have to take a

00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:44.420
tutorial. We'll both learn and then we'll post

00:41:44.420 --> 00:41:46.780
a class and others will have to come to us for

00:41:46.780 --> 00:41:49.380
help. We'll have to hire like a seven -year -old

00:41:49.380 --> 00:41:52.179
to show us how TikTok works. Yeah, if I'm a seven

00:41:52.179 --> 00:41:55.039
-year -old, we'll probably be both of us. Exactly.

00:41:56.980 --> 00:42:03.429
So before I let you go, Just out of curiosity,

00:42:03.769 --> 00:42:08.650
what do you help people on your website with?

00:42:08.869 --> 00:42:14.789
Like you said, you're a coach. So I do. I help

00:42:14.789 --> 00:42:17.769
people on a variety of things. And for me, I

00:42:17.769 --> 00:42:21.949
think initially I was focused on weight loss,

00:42:22.030 --> 00:42:23.929
weight management, but I've kind of shifted that

00:42:23.929 --> 00:42:26.539
up a little bit because I think as adults. And

00:42:26.539 --> 00:42:29.199
you can probably back this up, but we really

00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:31.840
all know what to do. We know we have to eat less,

00:42:31.900 --> 00:42:35.980
exercise more, drink more water, make a plan.

00:42:36.179 --> 00:42:39.059
But for me, I think the secondary piece was I

00:42:39.059 --> 00:42:41.960
needed to change my mindset and to change my

00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:44.500
mindset really was the key. You have to do the

00:42:44.500 --> 00:42:46.320
physical piece, but you also have to do the mental

00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:50.519
piece too. So I've really done some research

00:42:50.519 --> 00:42:56.500
and I'm becoming more attuned to how neuro -linguistic

00:42:56.500 --> 00:42:59.519
programming works and how it can really help

00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:02.860
revolutionize your life. So it's twofold. I help

00:43:02.860 --> 00:43:06.340
with the fitness piece like you do. Not so much

00:43:06.340 --> 00:43:08.940
fitness. I mean, you're a fitness guru, but I

00:43:08.940 --> 00:43:13.179
can advise on fitness. I don't do fitness classes,

00:43:13.260 --> 00:43:18.000
but I can, you know, I do mindful nutrition and

00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:21.619
mindset coaching. I'd be happy to speak to anybody

00:43:21.619 --> 00:43:25.039
about that. Occasionally, I do free challenges

00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:29.059
monthly on different topics. And occasionally,

00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:31.940
I have group sessions as well. And I really give

00:43:31.940 --> 00:43:34.280
a lot of information out. And my podcast really

00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:38.500
is about overcoming adversity and the growth

00:43:38.500 --> 00:43:41.079
that comes out from the other side. And season

00:43:41.079 --> 00:43:43.159
one was really about some very inspirational

00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:46.900
people. And that's set to launch soon. So hopefully,

00:43:47.019 --> 00:43:49.159
you'll get in on those inaugural guests, Jimmy.

00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:52.260
second piece i'm going to be looking at you know

00:43:52.260 --> 00:43:56.500
couples who have come through growth you know

00:43:56.500 --> 00:44:00.739
a divorce or a breakup or or just a co -parenting

00:44:00.739 --> 00:44:02.619
situation and they've managed to have a civil

00:44:02.619 --> 00:44:05.639
relationship which is a rarity so those are things

00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:10.039
to look forward to yeah definitely i uh like

00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:16.989
for me uh You're kind of in the ballpark of me

00:44:16.989 --> 00:44:21.789
just being fitness at first. But when I jumped

00:44:21.789 --> 00:44:26.369
a few different majors, I'll tell you that story

00:44:26.369 --> 00:44:29.949
when I'm on your podcast. All right, great. Just

00:44:29.949 --> 00:44:32.449
so I don't bore my listeners because they know

00:44:32.449 --> 00:44:40.619
exactly who I am by now. We'll never be like

00:44:40.619 --> 00:44:45.719
16 episodes out now. Never be afraid to tell

00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:47.400
your story again and again, because that's why

00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:49.900
they keep coming back. They have, you know, a

00:44:49.900 --> 00:44:52.280
fondness for you and you're very charismatic

00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:54.719
and personable. And I'm sure they love listening

00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:59.659
to you. I hope so. As I can say, there was this,

00:44:59.780 --> 00:45:07.340
I, for. But I changed the focus of my website

00:45:07.340 --> 00:45:10.960
when I found the major that I wanted to be in,

00:45:11.079 --> 00:45:14.099
which is media studies, which can get me into

00:45:14.099 --> 00:45:21.340
motivational speaking. I could also be a social

00:45:21.340 --> 00:45:24.320
media marketer, which I really don't want to.

00:45:25.900 --> 00:45:31.420
Or I could be a sports broadcaster, a radio show

00:45:31.420 --> 00:45:37.300
host. a publisher, copywriter, et cetera. And

00:45:37.300 --> 00:45:41.639
but so then once I got into that, I switched

00:45:41.639 --> 00:45:46.440
up my website to be for motivational to get people

00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:49.099
to start living a healthier lifestyle. Because

00:45:49.099 --> 00:45:53.400
I thought, well, you know, there's always like

00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:55.860
you see all these other fitness websites always

00:45:55.860 --> 00:46:00.079
telling you, hey, here's how you to do this.

00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:04.619
But there's no. I read a lot of fitness stuff

00:46:04.619 --> 00:46:08.579
when I have time. And what I've seen is that

00:46:08.579 --> 00:46:11.900
there's always someone telling you, hey, you

00:46:11.900 --> 00:46:15.300
should do these exercises. You need to eat this

00:46:15.300 --> 00:46:22.960
amount of nutrients and everything to lose this

00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:25.300
amount of weight or gain this much weight or

00:46:25.300 --> 00:46:28.139
gain muscle here and there. But there's no one

00:46:28.139 --> 00:46:31.289
that always tells you, here's... here's how you

00:46:31.289 --> 00:46:35.070
should get started. You need this. You need the

00:46:35.070 --> 00:46:38.030
motivation to do this. There's nothing but to

00:46:38.030 --> 00:46:41.369
say, hey, you know, this is how I started. Here's

00:46:41.369 --> 00:46:43.690
some inspiration off of me. It is like, well,

00:46:43.789 --> 00:46:45.969
here's this, this, this, and this. And it's like,

00:46:46.130 --> 00:46:48.389
yeah, I can tell you to do this, this, and this,

00:46:48.449 --> 00:46:50.590
and this. But your mind's telling you, it's like,

00:46:50.630 --> 00:46:52.610
why the heck would I want to do any of this,

00:46:52.769 --> 00:46:55.219
this, and this, and this? Right. Because it's

00:46:55.219 --> 00:46:57.460
hard. It's hard to get started. I think that's

00:46:57.460 --> 00:47:01.079
I think you made a wise move. And I think that

00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:04.039
the key is to to recognize that it's not a one

00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:07.079
size fits all solution. You really have to get

00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:09.460
to know the people in your lives and that you're

00:47:09.460 --> 00:47:11.199
and that you're helping and find something that

00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:13.840
works for them. Because, for instance, macros.

00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:16.300
I mean, when I was doing, you know, becoming

00:47:16.300 --> 00:47:19.599
certified as a health coach, one of the one of

00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:22.159
the first. lessons that you learn. Are there

00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:25.699
a hundred diets, over a hundred dietary theories

00:47:25.699 --> 00:47:28.980
out there? And they all work. They just don't

00:47:28.980 --> 00:47:31.159
all necessarily work for everyone. You know,

00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:33.699
you can count your macros, you can, you know,

00:47:33.699 --> 00:47:36.519
do Weight Watchers, you can do Atkins, you can

00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:40.679
do, you know, keto, but. They don't necessarily

00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:43.940
work for everybody and everybody will get, I

00:47:43.940 --> 00:47:46.840
have some success on all of those, but you really

00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:49.679
have to find the perfect formula for you. And

00:47:49.679 --> 00:47:52.420
it's not only about the exercise. It's not only

00:47:52.420 --> 00:47:54.559
about the food. It's exactly what you said. You

00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:57.280
need someone to inspire and motivate. That's

00:47:57.280 --> 00:47:59.639
why coaches need coaches. We have the skills,

00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:02.280
but sometimes we need a little bit of motivation

00:48:02.280 --> 00:48:05.619
and support. And I think that's something that

00:48:05.619 --> 00:48:08.320
everybody needs, you know, to be a feeling of

00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:11.980
everybody. wants to be heard and, and inspired

00:48:11.980 --> 00:48:15.980
and, and, and to be someone to help them grow.

00:48:16.460 --> 00:48:18.400
And that's why I didn't want to just to become

00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:21.519
a another personal trainer or another nutrition

00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:25.409
coach or. I'm just another coach. I'm not saying

00:48:25.409 --> 00:48:28.210
that's what you are. I'm just saying I didn't

00:48:28.210 --> 00:48:31.489
want to, I wanted to differentiate myself. And

00:48:31.489 --> 00:48:33.909
it's like, well, I know there's different motivational

00:48:33.909 --> 00:48:36.409
speakers. Like you have Tony Robbins who does

00:48:36.409 --> 00:48:39.889
motivational speaking, but also does stuff with

00:48:39.889 --> 00:48:43.949
business. But then you have Lewis Howes, who's,

00:48:43.949 --> 00:48:47.090
I would say, I'd say he's a motivational speaker.

00:48:47.929 --> 00:48:51.949
And also. like a really big top podcaster, which

00:48:51.949 --> 00:48:54.710
I would love to be on this show one day. Who

00:48:54.710 --> 00:48:57.929
is it? Lewis Howes. Oh, yeah. Did you have you

00:48:57.929 --> 00:49:02.530
reached out to him? Yeah, he has strict guidelines

00:49:02.530 --> 00:49:08.599
on his website. And so, but I've been keeping

00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:11.659
him in the loop every time when I hit a certain

00:49:11.659 --> 00:49:15.440
milestone. I just, because maybe one day I'll

00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:18.659
get that nice email that says like, Lewis House

00:49:18.659 --> 00:49:21.880
wants to be on your, wants you on his show. And

00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:25.300
it's like, hell yeah. I was like, that would

00:49:25.300 --> 00:49:28.849
be awesome. You should go in and put in a request

00:49:28.849 --> 00:49:32.010
as a media person because you are a media person.

00:49:32.110 --> 00:49:34.710
That's often how I request now. I go right through

00:49:34.710 --> 00:49:37.929
their website and go to their request for interviews

00:49:37.929 --> 00:49:40.769
and media because I consider myself to be part

00:49:40.769 --> 00:49:42.869
of that genre, especially you. You're a media

00:49:42.869 --> 00:49:45.929
student. So I would try that. And then they have

00:49:45.929 --> 00:49:48.550
a direct email for their media company and you

00:49:48.550 --> 00:49:51.050
may get in front of a different audience. And

00:49:51.050 --> 00:49:53.230
I'm sure he doesn't answer his own emails, but

00:49:53.230 --> 00:49:56.760
it might be the right person. Sometimes you got

00:49:56.760 --> 00:49:58.780
to break the rules. His guidelines might be strict,

00:49:58.940 --> 00:50:02.179
but I suggest you try to circumvent the channels

00:50:02.179 --> 00:50:05.320
a little bit because you really have a unique

00:50:05.320 --> 00:50:10.039
perspective on podcasting and fitness. And I

00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:12.119
think you have to remember too that there are

00:50:12.119 --> 00:50:15.340
motivational speakers and there are some of the

00:50:15.340 --> 00:50:17.179
great ones. Tony is one of the great ones. Les

00:50:17.179 --> 00:50:19.300
Brown is one of the great ones. David Goggins,

00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:23.219
all inspirational people. But you have a different

00:50:23.219 --> 00:50:25.960
population that you could... you know, really

00:50:25.960 --> 00:50:29.760
the children and young adults in the autism community

00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:33.179
really could benefit from someone like you who,

00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:37.239
who has the confidence and skillset and ability

00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:40.780
to change their lives. So, you know, that you

00:50:40.780 --> 00:50:43.659
have a unique niche and I encourage you to pursue

00:50:43.659 --> 00:50:46.500
that because, you know, that's one of your greatest

00:50:46.500 --> 00:50:48.539
strengths, your story and your personal experiences.

00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:53.039
Who knows, maybe during my spring break, I might,

00:50:54.750 --> 00:50:57.750
Send him a message on this. See if I can break

00:50:57.750 --> 00:51:01.829
the rules. In a good way. These are not laws.

00:51:02.130 --> 00:51:05.670
This is rules on his website that specifically

00:51:05.670 --> 00:51:10.769
answers. I was like, oh, you need to be a best

00:51:10.769 --> 00:51:20.849
song. The internet can be a distraction place.

00:51:21.730 --> 00:51:24.269
It's full of distractions like social media,

00:51:24.610 --> 00:51:28.389
shopping, and so many more websites that are

00:51:28.389 --> 00:51:32.309
very distracting. Just like video games and whatnot.

00:51:32.730 --> 00:51:35.909
But it is all over the place. So much noise going

00:51:35.909 --> 00:51:40.230
on. Well, with a blocker tool like Freedom Blocker,

00:51:40.250 --> 00:51:43.670
it can block all those distraction websites that

00:51:43.670 --> 00:51:48.429
you find distracting. iBlock, RuneScape, Facebook.

00:51:49.659 --> 00:51:52.460
Twitter and all the social media marketing tools.

00:51:52.940 --> 00:51:55.460
Without Freedom Blocker, I wouldn't be able to

00:51:55.460 --> 00:52:01.059
run crazyfitnessguy .com because I'd be distracted

00:52:01.059 --> 00:52:06.280
all day long. But thanks to them, I'm no longer

00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:11.000
distracted. Go to visit the web link in the show

visit them to follow more information be like

00:52:40.579 --> 00:52:45.300
uh a realm is it like he he wanted like a like

00:52:45.300 --> 00:52:49.440
either a sports person, someone from the Olympics

00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:53.880
or a well -known author, well -known speaker.

00:52:54.500 --> 00:52:56.780
And I was like, well, I haven't been, I'm not

00:52:56.780 --> 00:53:01.800
well -known yet, but I was like one day, he actually

00:53:01.800 --> 00:53:04.840
replied to one of my, he replied to some of my

00:53:04.840 --> 00:53:09.260
comments on LinkedIn. And he's even, I even said

00:53:09.260 --> 00:53:15.230
to him on Instagram one day, Actually, no, it

00:53:15.230 --> 00:53:17.909
was just Twitter. And I said to him, I was like,

00:53:17.969 --> 00:53:20.590
one day I'm going to be on your show. And he

00:53:20.590 --> 00:53:23.550
replied back. And it's really funny. He replied

00:53:23.550 --> 00:53:27.110
back and he never said no. Good luck with that.

00:53:28.190 --> 00:53:30.989
He says, like, I look forward to it. You know,

00:53:31.030 --> 00:53:34.989
that's amazing. He never doubted. And I would

00:53:34.989 --> 00:53:38.449
remind him of that in your inquiry. What do all

00:53:38.449 --> 00:53:41.150
of the great, and I know you listen to the motivational

00:53:41.150 --> 00:53:43.849
speakers like I do, and what do they all say?

00:53:44.250 --> 00:53:47.130
They all say, don't be afraid to ask. If you

00:53:47.130 --> 00:53:49.769
don't ask, if you don't bend the rules, then

00:53:49.769 --> 00:53:51.610
you're just going to be like everybody else.

00:53:51.730 --> 00:53:53.929
So I would take a screenshot of that. I would

00:53:53.929 --> 00:53:56.530
send it to him and I would say, remember what

00:53:56.530 --> 00:53:58.389
you said, you were looking forward to it. So

00:53:58.389 --> 00:54:01.070
I want to capitalize on that and I'm going to

00:54:01.070 --> 00:54:04.010
hold you to your word. So let's do it. That's

00:54:04.010 --> 00:54:06.750
what I would say. That's my suggestion. And so

00:54:06.750 --> 00:54:09.349
on my podcast, I can't wait till you tell me

00:54:09.349 --> 00:54:11.570
that you're going to have to reschedule because

00:54:11.570 --> 00:54:15.489
you're on Lewis House's podcast. So that's my

00:54:15.489 --> 00:54:17.590
challenge to you because I know you can do it.

00:54:17.670 --> 00:54:23.309

.com. Check out the latest blog posts. Hydroflask

00:56:52.030 --> 00:56:55.269
is the best water bottle, in my opinion, because

00:56:55.269 --> 00:56:58.530
it keeps my water nice and cold and refreshing

00:56:58.530 --> 00:57:01.369
throughout the day. And yes, I do drink a lot

00:57:01.369 --> 00:57:04.170
of water throughout the day, so even though it

00:57:04.170 --> 00:57:08.469
stays colder for longer, I still like having

00:57:08.469 --> 00:57:13.849
a reusable water bottle like Hydroflask. because

00:57:13.849 --> 00:57:19.869
it just sits on my desk, and it just sits on

00:57:19.869 --> 00:57:22.170
my desk and reminds me, hey, you've got to drink

00:57:22.170 --> 00:57:26.929
water. And Hydro Flask, it keeps it cold longer,

00:57:27.050 --> 00:57:30.469
which makes me want to drink more water throughout

00:57:30.469 --> 00:57:33.889
the day, because, you know, there's nothing worse

00:57:33.889 --> 00:57:38.610
than drinking warm water. Go to hydroflask .com.
