In this episode, I have the joy and privilege of sitting down with Elsabet (she/her/hers), a current Wai Way client (and personal friend of mine!). She openly shares her "health & fitness" journey, both before joining Wai Way as well as current day. Expect: relatable, vulnerable and inspiring - you do not want to miss out!
Time stamps:
02:23 - Elsabet introduces herself
04:37 - initial challenges with / barriers to staying on top of her health & fitness pre-joining Wai Way, including access to (helpful) information and peer pressure side of social circles
10:36 - her experiences of fitness & exercise before Wai Way, including how programmes like "Focus T25" and going to the gym hoping to be able to 'just figure it out' didn't promote sustainability
15:57 - on self-love, gratitude & nurturing self-confidence, how you can love your body at the same time as want more for yourself
21:31 - her motivations for deciding to actively invest in developing her health & fitness now, including it being an act of love in wanting to change the 'norm' of generational health-related issues within her community and culture
28:29 - why / what attracted her to Wai Way, the power of representation in making someone feel truly 'seen' within an otherwise male-dominated space...and initial skepticism about how much she could really change (physically and mentally)
34:15 - how Wai Way has impacted her personal relationships (romantic and platonic), as well as her mental & spiritual wellbeing
38:58 - how Wai Way has positively impacted her career & professional development
41:39 - her experiences of navigating (and fully enjoying!) all her social occasions, holidays and work trips feeling empowered & 'guilt'-free
48:25 - sharing her exciting plans for the future, setting new goals, facing her fears & living her best life #theWaiWay!
53:20 - final comments, including an acknowledgement of current global trauma & conflict... and a reminder that, while 'fitness goals' can feel trivial in these times, investing in ourselves is how we can build healthier & happier communities that collectively can combat division & hatred
57:47 - Outro, recapping some of Elsabet's powerful soundbites and mic-drop moments!
