28) The 2 Most Underrated Strategies for excelling in Fitness (No, Really)
Mind & Muscle
In this episode, I share two powerful strategies for overcoming perfectionism and inconsistency in fitness plans. The first strategy, which I call forecasting, involves planning for obstacles and life chaos to ensure your fitness goals remain achievable. The second strategy, which I call fitness Pomodoro, encourages short bursts of movement to build momentum and maintain commitment without the pressure of maximum output. I emphasize the importance of self-compassion and realistic planning in achieving fitness success and, you know what? IT WORKS. Just ask ALL 200+ women I've worked with. ...

27) The Psychology of Fitness Motivation: Dopamine, Dips, and Breakthroughs
Mind & Muscle
In this episode, I dive into the complexities of motivation, emphasizing the importance of awareness through the stages of motivation within my 90-day fitness program, Hypefit Method. Because my container is 90 days, I've been able to see many patterns and coach hundreds of women through these patterned milestones. I made my own 90-Day Motivation Map to organize this journey and share with my clients, that way we can pre-frame the experience and set realistic expectations. I'll discuss the honeymoon phase, the challenges of the first and second dips, and the significance of understanding...

26) Mastery Over Variety: The Key to Real Fitness Results
Mind & Muscle
Today's episode is dedicated to the one liner I hear ALL the time as a Personal Trainer: "I get bored easily" or "I need more variation." Sound like you? PERFECT. Let's chat! While I fully understand the desire to spice things up AND believe it's possible to do -- I also wish more people understood HOW to do it in an effective way. Usually what I see are people who've made needing variety part of their fitness identity. They take many random classes, try out challenges, and program hop -- often times doing these things back -to-back or at the same time (GASP). Look, I WANT you to be able to...

25) Navigating Love while Self Healing: A Story of Not Letting Trauma Interfere with Love
Mind & Muscle
This weeks episode is a VERY personal, vulnerable share where I talk about how my husband and I have cultivated a loving relationship, despite my many "failures" in my past. Having grown up without learning how to regulate and honor my own emotions, I found relationships difficult. Not just intimate, but also with friends (which I don't talk about in this episode). Join me in a reflective breakdown of how I navigated the hard parts of my childhood and overcame patterns and behaviors that were not serving me in adulthood. All of this healing & development was difficult. It was...

23) Freedom in Sobriety: My Journey from Sober Curious to Sober
Mind & Muscle
Today's short episode is a personal share on my recent decision to give up alcohol. I had always had a positive relationship to alcohol and was good at not drinking for short periods or drinking very little. My decision to quit didn't come from me drinking too much, it came from me realizing I just wasnt enjoying my drinks the way I always had. I explain the reactions my body was having to alcohol, my lifestyle and mindset shifts that powered my sober-curiousity, and how I "flipped the switch" without any doubt in my decision. If you're sober-curious perhaps some of my story will...

20) MINDSET: Navigating Inner Turmoil - Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Embracing Change
Mind & Muscle
"But the thing is, even if I could go back, I wouldn't be there anymore." -CCZ In todays episode I get vulnerable about my own process and experience dealing with imposter sydrome, the surprising isolation that comes with changing, and other internal battles I've never shared about before. This is relevant to all parts of growth, healing, change: business, personal, emotional, mental, physical. When we decide to change and level up it's brave because it isn't free from problems. My hope is that this is relatable and helps even one person out there feel understood and NOT alone....

19) FITNESS: Pre-framing & Setting Expectations For A Smoother Client & Trainer Experience
Mind & Muscle
This is a short episode PACKED with tips on utilizing one of my favorite business tools: preframing. I think we've all been in one of those professional situations where things get dicey and now you have to have an awkward conversation and you wish you had just done things differently earlier in order to avoid the situation. I give you some examples of this from my own experiences (laughs in nervous) AND all the ways I've resolved these issues so they won't happen again. Pre-framing & Setting Clear Expecations... shows what kind of leader you are, that people are in good, sturdy,...

E-RYT 500 hr Bhakti Yoga Teacher,
Master Reiki / Energy Healer, End of Life Doula
Kelly Skinner, also known as Kishori Gopi (her devotional name) is a spiritual teacher who is a conduit of divine love and a vehicle for Divine grace to heal and awaken. In this lifetime, her medicine is to help beings live radiantly and die gracefully through the practices of Bhakti Yoga, Meditation, Reiki, and End of Life Doula Work. She approaches both life and work with awareness, aliveness, and compassion. When you see or talk to Kishori you can feel her light. She is free of judgement. She is humble and curious. She listens to understand. She actively practices and shares everything she teaches.
To her, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing another being remember and fall in love with their own true nature.
This episode is SO special because Kishori talks about the two topics we tend to avoid most: Death and God. If you don't have an aversion to both of those you probably do or HAVE had an aversion to one of them. Both are difficult topics that often come with very personal emotional baggage/responses. Kishori shares parts of her path with death and handling grief, as well as her history with being triggered by the word God, rejecting a connection to a God, and re-discovering what all of that means to her and how she connects with LIFE.
For myself (Chelsy), I used to be anti-God, anti-religion, and VERY triggered/angry when people would bring it up. In recent years I've found myself interested in the idea of higher powers and other belief systems in a way that resonates with the deep love I have for life and others. It's been a refreshing re-discovery into what once felt wondrous as a child and quickly developed into an intense hatred in young adulthood. My beliefs around spirituality NOW have circled back to that wanderous, mystical, connected curioustiy I had as a young child. It has also opened an interest in hearing how others are experiencing their own beliefs around a Higher Power.
This episode is going to be a peaceful deep dive into a much desired 1:1 conversation between two souls who love to dive into emotions, spirituality, healing, and more.
ENJOY!
