Lee-Ann Watanabe is a guest speaker on The Art of Being podcast hosted by Coach Pati Hoyt.

Pati Hoyt went through her own mental & physical health journey which she overcame after many years dealing with it. Today, she has healed and transformed her life around.

On this episode, Lee-Ann discusses using extreme exercise and dieting behavior (her addictions) as her long time emotional crutch and when that exercise high stopped working, how Lee-Ann was able to transform herself out of this distraction and into her true calling. Her mission is to help ladies with the same. The take-away tip - ask for help, seek out support and know that you too can release what no longer serves you!

A client conversation triggered today's podcast episode - my mom client was drinking a bottle of wine every night and realized that she was dealing with mom guilt.

Perfectionism means to hold oneself or other to the highest standards. But when I realized that chasing perfect also created a bit of self-sabotage, I wanted to dig deeper into why was I doing this? If I shoot for perfect, but always leave an exit strategy for myself, how am I perfect then? Do you struggle with a perfectionist mindset? 

Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try it at all?

I'm not a Doctor or a Therapist. Just your in person and virtual Honolulu Personal Trainer. BUT, I was once a child who grew up where my weight was (what felt to me) a constant issue. I definitely believe that this family dynamic contributed to my eventual disordered eating and exercise pattern which spanned nearly two decades. Am I cured? There is no such thing. It is a constant balance of navigating a murky middle where by you separate what's truth and what's fiction. This is the dark side of exercise; something seemingly healthy that when you fixate upon and obsess about it, it's never an issue because well, it's exercise after all (not heroin!) and when you are like me, in a very normal body that doesn't indicate "exercise addiction" you then just someone who is referred to as "very passionate about exercise."
