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.
Break free from the world's expectations and embrace your unique brilliance and badassery. Discover the ultimate life hack of self-love and confidence as Erica challenges the traditional narratives of self-worth and validation. Reclaim your power, celebrate your quirks, and honor your body, all while radiating the incredible you.
Speaker 1:
Welcome to Endorphasmic, where we talk about all things. Endorphasm. I am your hostess, erica Porter, and today, today, my amazing humans, whether you're listening to this in the morning, evening or in the middle of the day, amazing humans, today's episode is about creating a space where we celebrate the brilliance, uniqueness and absolute badassery that is you. And if you've been waiting for a sign to change your mindset, embrace your awesomeness and start living the life you've always dreamed of, this is it baby? So let's dive in. I know that it seems so trite to say that you are enough, but damn it, yes, you are. In a world that's constantly trying to tell us that we are less than, it takes serious courage to stand tall and say not today, satan, nope, I'm already incredible, just as I am. And guess what you are? You are a masterpiece in progress, a story that's still unfolding. There is no one else like you. There never has been, there, never will be. So why waste another second chasing someone else's definition of perfection or their own definition of perfection? A river doesn't apologize for its curves or its rapids, it simply flows. You two are here to be unapologetically you.
Speaker 1:
So let's talk about the journey of growth. Life is a journey. It's a journey of self-discovery and spending time intentionally. We want a life that is transformative and hopefully, along the way, you find a few incredible people who inspire you and you could be the inspiration, by the way, for somebody you never know who's watching, who needs your light or who might be inspired by your courage to live authentically. So if you're serious about changing your life, you'll find a way, and if you're not, guess what? You'll find a fucking excuse. And let's let this be your reminder the power to transform your life is already within you.
Speaker 1:
There's not some secret recipe to all of this. It really isn't, and it starts by owning your power. It really isn't, and it starts by owning your power the ultimate life hack. Stop giving a single thought to what others think of you. What people say or believe about you has everything to do with them and nothing to do with you. When you base your self-worth on outside validation, you hand over your power. So fucking take it back.
Speaker 1:
Instead, celebrate your quirks, celebrate your strengths, even your flaws, laugh at yourself, love yourself, treat your body like the most awesome person you've ever met. Say kind things about it, move it, nourish it, honor it. When you feel good in your body, you radiate confidence and the world takes notice. This by no means means how you look. This means honoring the temple that is your body. Move it, speak highly of it. You have to respect where you are in order to respect where you're going, and that is gratitude in action.
Speaker 1:
Gratitude changes everything. When you focus on the awesomeness in your life, no matter how small, it opens the door for more good things to flow in. And if you're not where you want to be yet, that's okay. Life is about progress. Here's the truth.
Speaker 1:
Nobody achieves greatness by staying in their comfort zone. Growth requires risk and effort and, many times, failure. Failure is an amazing thing because, at least in the very least, you are attempting to do something. But every stumble sometimes I cannot speak, but I appreciate my flaws Every stumble is just another step towards your goals. So I've often said that sometimes we take three steps forward and one step back, but guess what? You're still two steps ahead of where you were.
Speaker 1:
So the goal is always to have forward momentum, even when sometimes you take steps back and you have to embrace the miracle of now. By the way, this moment, the now, is the only thing that you are promised. This second, and then it's gone. What are you doing with this second? Because this second is what you have. It's great to plan for the future, it's great to think about all the possibilities, but you've got to embrace the miracle of now. Take a moment, right now, to appreciate the miracle of just your existence. You're living on a planet spinning in space, your heart is beating and you're surrounded by endless possibilities. Don't spend another second doubting your worth or holding onto things that no longer serve you. The world needs your light of the one and only you. So that's it for today's episode, my friends, and remember you are wildly capable, deeply loved and destined for greatness. Let this be the year you step fully into your power. Until next time, keep shining, keep growing and keep being unapologetically. You Love health and happiness and always much respect.
