In this episode I talk with Rebecca Beckler. Rebecca is no stranger to having to work hard and overcome adversity. In 2012 one of her daughters was diagnosed with Leukemia. Unable to have time to go to the gym, she developed a pilates body suspension method and now is on a mission to teach that to others. She encourages those who want to work at home to try this out, and tells us how 30 minutes a day can be enough to really get in shape and change our body composition.
Questions I asked:
- Can someone who has been injured get in great shape?
- What should our day to day diet look like?
- How often should you eat a day?
- Do I need to work out for a long time to get in shape?
Topics Discussed:
- Keeping a positive mindset.
- How long do you need to workout?
- How our diet plays into getting in shape.
- How feeling better helps us overall.

Have you ever looked back over your life and realized a lot of the things that seemed to suck at the time actually brought you closer to your greater purpose? What if everything happened for a reason? Every hardship you go through can be bringing you through the fire fine-tuning you for your greater purpose. The hardships I once cried about, I celebrate now.
Do you struggle with taking pride in yourself? Do you feel like you should or shouldn’t have pride? In this episode we dive into the importance of how we carry ourselves and how we have pride in the way we look and feel. But even on a deeper scale than that, how do we get to that point? It takes being introspective and really discovering our deep thoughts and feelings on different issues.
Drinking alcohol is portrayed as tons of fun, socially acceptable, and the norm. But should it be the norm? Do you struggle with alcohol? Maybe not on a deep level to where it affects your day to day activities, but enough for you to notice some differences in your performance at work and everyday life? Does giving up alcohol mean no more fun in life?
Do you struggle with how to reveal your authentic self? It’s easy for us to hide behind our insecurities or fears and not step out into the things we know we are called to do. That is a huge struggle, but if you know there is something within you that is your purpose, you have to keep going. When you are living in your gifts you are living out your true self.
Do you struggle with feeling stuck and trapped where you are? Are you so focused on the possibility of failure that you can’t see how to make that first step? Many of us hold back from pursuing our dreams because we don’t want to take the risk of failure. But is the risk of never changing an even bigger risk?
Do you ever find yourself second guessing yourself? You have some ideas or dreams, but then reality hits, and you ask the question, “Who am I to do this?” Doubts creep in along with fears of the unknown. We tend to live in that constant state of fears and because of it remain exactly where we are. But what we were to break out of that fear? What if we were to make steps today that would lead us to a brighter and better future version of ourselves?
