Ep. 230 - Less is More: From Burnt Out and Exhausted to Confident and In Control with Amy Creamer

Meet Amy, a loving wife, and mother who's worked in and been a part of the health and fitness industry for 20+ years. She's a personal trainer and coach, group fitness instructor, and 1,000+ hour certified Yoga instructor. But, like you and I, she, too, struggles at times. Even with her health and fitness goals. When I reconnected with Amy in early 2021, she was burning the candle at both ends. She was working out 12 - 15 times per week to cope with the stress and loss of both her and her husband's job during the Pandemic. She was sinking further and further down her priority list and knew she needed to take action before things got worse.  Listen in to hear a raw and candid conversation about boundaries, body image, and the importance of making time and self-care a priority for ourselves. Since joining The 5% Community, Amy feels more confident and in control than ever - and life's certainly thrown her quite a few curveballs since she joined! - while also feeling more confident and at peace in her relationships with herself, her body, and food.  Start listening now!

I was giving myself to everyone else. I'm a personal trainer and a coach, so doing all the things for everyone else. My husband had not gone back to work yet because we were both furloughed during COVID. So we were both home. My daughter was home. It was a lot, there was a lot going on." "Yeah, you're absolutely right. If we look and think about it, healthcare workers are the most unhealthy population of people. We're a subset of that. And it's because we take care of people all day, that's our job. So obviously we're going to come last." "Boundaries are hard. Let's just put that out there. They're not just hard, they're fucking hard. They're hard for anybody to implement. And especially when you feel like you're in a situation where, and I'm not saying I was at rock bottom, but that was really hard." "Even if you work in the health and fitness industry, it's okay to ask for help with your health and fitness goals!"
