Dr. Lisa Lewis is a psychologist who is a therapist by trade. Also, if you're looking for strong women, she is a great role model for you, she lifts heavy and leads her life with integrity. She has a great love for all things athletic. If you've been following her for a while or have listened to her other appearances on podcasts, you'll have some context of one of her very close connections to the fitness industry of which we didn't need to point out today because #IWD is not just a one day thing. We can showcase him on his own episode :P.
Something that I gave a HUGE highlight to is her new course, Psych Skills for Fitness Pros, available on her website drlewisconsulting.com .
Lisa and I talked about spinning, decision matrix, I asked her about her thoughts on the expression "Gas lighting" being something I've seen pop up a lot on social media because I think ALL of my listeners experience it in their life in various realms as they learn to navigate boundaries and work through their obstacles.
I got kind of real to give more opportunities for people to relate to maybe something they're going through. I think we all just need to put stuff out on the table sometimes.
We talked about self image and insecurity. We talked about putting a greater focus on our strengths so we don't lash out at others over our weaknesses. Make personal progress each day, don't worry about comparing. We talked about arbitrary reference and about the struggles we all have with navigating the work it takes to stay healthy or find connection.

To put things into perspective, Lucy Hendricks isn't just on the podcast because she's a female fitness professional and I want to even out the playing field for International Women's Day. However I did make sure we mentioned IWD because if you give me a microphone I'll say what I think is important.
Lucy Hendricks is on the podcast because she has an influence on many prominent male fitness professionals in the greater industry. The ways in which she does what she does has the power to make a lasting, sustainable impact on others as well as the people they interact with. I greatly respect that.
To be quite honest with you, I've been following her for a while, probably 2 years. My male fit pro friends that I've learned from told me that she was someone that I should be following. So I did. A few weeks ago, she shared something in her Instagram story that just hit me so I messaged her to see if she could come on the podcast to talk about it. It correlated so much with topics that come up in my life nearly every day.
I want to make an impact in more than just the generic run of the mill fitness career in the lives of not only my clients and people in the gym but also my close friends and family. This stuff is real.
If I'm lucky, it will have a trickle down effect and the people I positively impact will then be in a place where they can positively impact the people that surround them, or be better positioned to hold space in a very life changing way.
I'm hyping this episode up more than what I typically do, not as a disservice to my wonderful past guests who I admire, but the topics discussed were really important to me. It took a lot of courage for Lucy to talk about it all and she put a lot of trust in me as her host to be the one to publish it on audio. Without hype, you may just think it's just another episode of the many that I put out.
Take that as a sign. It's not just another podcast episode.
