Being Fuerte. It’s Time to Speak!

Enjoy a conversation with my client, Alicia, who happens to be a mother, wife, equestrian competitor and all-around good human. We learn a lot from each other here! We talk about being a woman in all the cultural indoctrinations associated with that, living your best life and  growing in the process... having kids and juggling life. 

Listen to a great conversation amongst trainer/client, friend, women, and now tribe! Carol's story is so inspiring because she talks about women’s issues like having a hysterectomy, growing up as a minority Asian woman in south Texas, and about what it was like being a child of Japanesse parents that were incarcerated in isolated camps when they were young adults. She shares some of her poetry with us and describes how she started creating beautiful writing pieces to express herself. Her story is so beautiful!

I posted one of her poems our website:

Enjoy this conversation with Eric Wilson from CompFit. I’ve been fortunate to know Eric for 17yrs. I really enjoyed listening to him discussing men’s health and genetic ailments he’s had to address with his battle with caner twice and stroke! He’s lived a healthy lifestyle his whole life and it just shows you how strong your genetics make up play a major role in self care. On top of running a successful business, he’s being part of the music here in Seattle. I am very impressed with his optimistic outlook and his spiritual maturity being while living in a masculine world. He’s balance is tremendous! His is very personable and joyful and I am grateful to have him in my community, he is iconic in the fun way he promotes a healthy lifestyle.

Listen to a great conversation amongst women regarding communication. Learn how our relationship has fostered that unconditional support for one another in the gym then in our lives.  Communication affects our relationships, first within ourselves then within our community. We have many opportunities to get it right. Don’t fight to be right. If we are going to create impact, it has to start with ourselves and our corner of the world.  We cannot afford to leave that up to our elected or self-appointed leaders. They may not be capable or committed to representing you or me. So you must speak your truth now, starting today, right now.

You may know her as Laura or as Lo Shdo. But this firecracker tells us about playing soccer since she could walk, dancing ballet, and finding her passion for programing technical drills for the normal people out there! She exercises both sides of her brain with her love in training and creating artwork with her paintings!
She is more then her body.  Listen  to her story. She's introspective,  a great listener and willing to learn. She loves working out and food as much as I do! Lo Shdo Fitness can be found on instagram @shdofitness and her other creative artistic side is at @shdos_art
