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.
