Get ready for some wins. Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.

Hello, Be It babe. It's my birthday weekend. Thank you for listening to this podcast. It's a birthday gift to me. And if you were like, oh my God, I didn't get her anything. You know what you can do? You can leave me a review. You can show this to a friend. You can send a win in to The Be It Pod. We can shout it out. You can just say, hey, my favorite episode was x. I love all that. I want to hear that. Want to celebrate it with you.
Lesley Logan 1:08
All right, so we're going to celebrate someone who inspired me this week on the interwebs. This girl is so freaking cute. This is from F1 Academy. Freya Lally makes history as the first female driver to reach the Grand Finals, securing a top 10 spot in the British Indoor Karting Championship. Let me just tell you that Freya Lally looks like she's 10 years old and she might be. It says, "How do we fuel the future of women in motorsports? It starts at events like the British Indoor Karting Championship (BIKC), the largest single motorsport competition in the world, with over 5,300 participants across categories. This year, Freya Lally made history as the only female driver ever to reach the Grand Finals, securing a top 10 finish in the Cadets and earning a fully funded Club100 championship seat, the next step on the UK karting ladder.
Freya’s achievement is a testament to the growing presence of women in motorsports, with female participation in the BIKC surging 400%.
In our shared mission to accelerate gender equality, The Female Quotient and F1 Academy are sparking bold conversations and taking action. Let’s come together to challenge the status quo and ignite change, on and off the track." This is so cool that I wish they had said how old she is. I swear to God, I'm not lying. She looks like she's 10 years old, and I freaking love it. You guys, it takes time to make some changes. And if you are sitting here listening to this podcast and being it till you see it, and you're like, there needs to be representation here. This needs to exist. I've got to create this thing because it needs to exist. Just know that absolutely you should do it. And it takes time. And something else that I really love is we're highlighting this girl and she's not necessarily the winner. She was just in the finals. And I think I'm gonna take back my (inaudible). She's in the finals. So often, if the person's not first place, we're like, whatever. It didn't change anything. No, it changes things when someone who's not usually in the top is in the top, and we take time to celebrate that. We take time to go, oh my God, it is possible for me to make change, for me to do something different. If you're a parent for your kid to be the first of 100 to do something. All these things are really, really, really awesome and possible. And you know, we got to celebrate what did happen. That's why this episode even exists. What did you do? Right?
Lesley Logan 3:14
So speaking of what you did, here we go. Let's shout out some of our FYF people of the week. Kimberly Craig is an Agency member at one of my OG eLevate grads, and I just am obsessed with her. Happy FYF, it's my 50th birthday on Tuesday, and my sister and bestie made the day phenomenal. I felt so loved and celebrated the entire day. My sister and I got matching tattoos, and they are the epitome of us and our relationship. Cute, fun, silly and sentimental. My other tattoos are hidden, so it's out of my comfort zone to get it on my hand, but I love it, and it makes me smile every time I look at it. When we clasp our hands together, they're hugging. I don't have the pic for you for this. But I did see it and it's really cute. Little tattoos are hugging. I just did my first live virtual workout of my 50 Days of Pilates sessions this summer. In honor of my milestone birthday, I'm celebrating that with the people I have. Each live workout is making more than my magic number, which is awesome because I only charged $50 for it. I had a few people join live, including a new person who said she had no idea what Pilates was, but loved it. It was so much fun. This weekend, my son is racing his first pro motocross race, and so I'm going to cheer him on and celebrate. It's been a long road getting there. He's been running for 17 years, and was the last kid in every race for about 11 of those years. If that's not a testament to baby steps and perseverance, I don't know what is. It's a great reminder that just because it doesn't look like things are happening doesn't mean they aren't changing massively. So true for life, business and your Pilates practice, Holy freaking molly. I just want to say, you guys, I read this when, months ago, when it came in. We have, obviously, we have a few. We try to get a couple every week. So I don't ever want to skip over any so I want to get them to you. But sometimes they're like, and I did not realize that I picked the go-kart girl and the same guy as the motocross kid. But check these people out. Perseverance, yes, oh my gosh. Kim Craig, your wins are always fabulous and I would just love celebrating you and happy 50th birthday. On my birthday weekend. I know, we don't have the same birthday, but we're celebrating together now.

Okay. Tania Tsiora, she is an Agency, ex Agency member, and I just loved working with her. She says hello, several new clients who started this week compared to last year's. Let's see how it goes and who stays the course. In half an hour, we have, in the studio, the first teachers practice, teachers from other studios. We will be four. I'm so excited, because yesterday, one more registered for the retreat next month in Greece. We have two more spots available. Also my win for this week, it's how grateful I am to celebrate one year in Agency with you, Lesley, Brad, Kirsten, Maya, Roxy, and all of you. And how much has this helped and guided me, for both myself and the studio to grow. You know, Tania, I love that you were able to take a moment to compare yourself to yourself and go wow, this week, this week, you got more new people than it did a year ago. In a week. These are the things we have to do, especially when working towards something, because we don't realize how we are always going up. It is always growing. It's just that sometimes you go down to go up, down to go up, down to go up, but you're going up. It's like the stock market, even when it crashes, it goes back higher, right? Like it just does that. So, at any rate, thank you ladies for sharing those business wins, those personal wins, the moments in between. Like we're not waiting for perfection before we celebrate around here. No, we are not. That is the 2025 thing. We do not wait until it's over to celebrate the win.
Lesley Logan 6:18
So my win, I mean, I was born this weekend. No, my win is as I literally turned 42 this weekend, don't feel older. I feel more energized. I feel more supported. I feel calmer in doing less. I feel proud of doing less. And when people go I know you're so busy, I literally say I'm not that busy. It just looks that way. What do you need? And if I can't do it, I'm like, great, here's who you need to call instead. My win is that I hope that I am the things that I've heard women who, when they turn 50 and 60, say that they no longer do because now they're 50 and 60 and they're living their best decade. I have listened ladies, and I have learned. I have observed, and I'm doing it at 42 because why wait? So my win is I listened to my elders. I made those changes now. And truthfully, I refuse to buy into the I'm getting older thing, meaning that, like time is short on this earth, and I need to rush. I don't need to rush on anything. I get to sit here with you for a couple more seconds as we read the mantra for this week.
Lesley Logan 7:24
So this is back from that CHANI Deck. I release what keeps me sheltered from life. I create space for what encourages my growth. I rejoice in the ways that life emboldens my best to come forth always. I don't know why. Lately, all the mantras have been like three sentences, but they happen. So here we go. I release what keeps me sheltered from life. You could just stop right there, like that could be maybe that's the mantra you need. I create space where it encourages my growth. Create space. You guys, just because it's January doesn't mean you have to set goals yet you'd be actually just creating space. I rejoice in the ways that life emboldens my best to come forth always. I'm gonna end with that one. One more time, I rejoice in the ways that life emboldens my best to come forth. Always, you guys, I'm rejoicing you. You're amazing. And please share this with a friend who needs to hear wins and inspiration that things are going well somewhere for someone, which means that it can happen to them. This is not the Pi of support. This is the infinity symbol. And until next time, Be It Till You See It.
