endorphasMIC
Join Erica each week as she delves deep into all things wellness, fitness, nutrition, entertainment, entrepreneurship, and spirituality. These intimate, deep, and often intense conversations go beyond the traditional podcast. They are designed to provoke, educate, inspire, and empower you to discover, uncover, unlock, and unleash your best, most authentic self.
To live. To feel alive. Because I can. Because I’m human. Because my humanity demands it! Movement. We weren’t wired this way by accident. Our physical and mental health is by design, dependent on movement. We are designed to feel good when we move because survival depends on movement. This was an obvious truth when hunting, gathering, and farming; our existence depended on our ability and desire to do survival tasks, so our bodies are chemically and hormonally designed to make us feel good when doing them. It is a much less obvious truth in modern society, but no less relevant. The endorphasm is the moment during movement you feel anything is possible. Clarity. This podcast is the exploration of movement as the foundation for a productive, fulfilling, rewarding, most excellent life.

Redefining Limits: Harnessing Mindset for Transformation
What if our greatest limitations are simply products of our own minds? I'm Erica Porter, and in this episode of Endorphasmic, I challenge everything we've been taught about the mind-body connection and the transformative power of belief. Listen as I recount my journey through the highs and lows of life, from thriving as an athlete and entrepreneur to facing the harsh reality of a stage-four cancer diagnosis.

Join me as I share not just my personal battles, but the lessons learned in honoring oneself through movement and mindful living. We'll explore the profound impact of mindset on our health and well-being, and how letting go of preconceived notions can empower you to achieve your dreams.

This isn't just an episode—it's an invitation to transform your mind, your body, and ultimately, your life.
Welcome to Endorphasmic, where we talk about all things Endorphasm. I am your hostess, erika Porter. My story and the Endorphasm brand are a true rollercoaster, embodying passion and resilience. What does it take to become a winner? Talent, money or simply the belief that you can do it? As an athlete and an entrepreneur, I have spent over three decades perfecting my craft and discovering the true meaning of self-love, appreciation and success. What are you willing to do to achieve your goals and dreams? Pursuing dreams is easy when there are a few obstacles. What do you do when you face setbacks and challenges? I understand what it takes to achieve one's goals. For years, I have coached people of all ages to become their best selves, using a powerful tool called accountability to self. Personally, I have reached success as a mother, professional wrestler, entrepreneur and founder of a nonprofit. I am proud of the woman I see in the mirror. I will share the real meaning of whatever it takes and you'll come away understanding how to take the unplanned path, seize opportunities that arise from taking risks and embrace the journey toward your dreams. What if I told you that virtually all the world's problems boil down to mindlessness?
Speaker 0:I challenge the outdated mind-body dualism in Western medicine, emphasizing the unity of mind and body. I believe in the transformative power of mindfulness in improving health and the importance of movement in honoring ourselves and elevating who we are as individuals. I have dismantled the traditional divide between mind and body, advocating for mind-body unity. I'm constantly examining the power of belief, dispelling the illusion of control and offering a fresh perspective on decision-making and manipulation. Mindfulness can positively impact physical endurance and overall well-being. Many of us fail to fully enjoy our lives because we often operate in a state of mindlessness rather than mindfulness. Our minds frequently wander, overlooking the richness of our very own surroundings, everything that's right there, right in front of us, and appreciating what we have. I certainly advocate for a shift in perspective, emphasizing that we are not bound by past experiences or conventional wisdom.
Speaker 0:Letting go of preconceived notions about our limits and possibilities can exponentially expand our perceived potential. It's really, really important. Letting go of preconceived notions about our limits and possibilities can exponentially expand our perceived potential. This transformative mindset enhances agency and empowerment, shaping what I believe is the trajectory of our lives.
Speaker 0:That is the power of the endorphasm mindset. There is an intricate connection between mind and body that allows each of us to take control of our health, of our life of our power. Our darkest moments can either break us beyond repair or they really can make us stronger. That was really a choice that I faced as I navigated my own mortality, with a stage four cancer diagnosis, motherhood and the search for self. I do believe that life is what you make it and I do believe that the endorphasm mindset, the shift that takes us from limited beliefs and possibility and transforms the mindset and enhances our own agency, our empowerment, our sense of self, and it will forever shape the trajectory of our lives. That, my friends, is the power of the endorphasm mindset Love, health and happiness, and always much respect.
