Welcome to the Shaline show. Shaline is a New York Times best-selling author celebrity fitness trainer and obsessed with helping you live your dream life.

Hey there! Thanks for joining me. This is Shaline Johnson and you are listening to the Shaline show.

First of all, thank you. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to spend a little bit time with you.

I'm sure you are aware of this, but sometimes when you just kind of talk through your thoughts, everything tends to make more sense.

There's that friend that you can call and you're like, listen, I got to run some things by you.

I've got this problem. By the time you've explained what it is you're going through, you realize you've made sense of it yourself.

I love you guys right, me reviews. I can't even tell you how touched I am by the things that you say when I meet you.

I just got to it back from the marketing impact academy. I can't tell you how overwhelming it was to meet so many of the listeners from the Shaline show

and to connect with you and just realize how much we have in common. And for you to tell me that I keep you company while you're in your car or while you're on the treadmill or while you're cleaning the house or part of your daily or weekly routine.

First of all, it's touching beyond belief, but I just don't even think you understand how incredibly valuable this is to me.

How much it enriches me to be able to spend this time with you and to be able to talk through things and process things.

Kind of like calling a friend and you start to explain what you're going through and before you know what you've helped yourself process it.

And that's what you are to me. So thank you. I know I've not been as consistent with my podcasting as I had been in the past.

And I thank you for honoring the fact that I have honored my family first and foremost.

So all other things will slide if need be. If it means something has to adjust or to spend more time with my family.

And so the last year, you know, was Brock's last senior year in high school. And as you know, you've been on this journey with me, we have two kids, Brock and Sierra, Brett and I both made all decisions and all all business decisions, all opportunities.

Everything that we have done has been with the priority in mind that our kids and raising them is our very first obligation, not just raising them, but giving them confidence, making them know, not just hearing it, but having them feel it and see it and experience that they matter and that they are capable.

While I have lots of people online who I've helped to build their own businesses and develop confidence, we've been doing that for our kids too, teaching them how to build a business, teaching them how to be confident, teaching them how to get through relationships.

And there are many times when I feel the guilt associated with my online family, like people who are upset because I wasn't at this event or that event or because I haven't produced podcast as much as I haven't passed.

But you have to be okay with it and you have to know that you will be rewarded by your determination, by your commitments.

You will be rewarded even though it feels like sometimes other people are able to do things that you can't because you've made a commitment because you have beliefs, because you have priorities.

And man, it is hard to look at other people doing things and think to yourself, man, we should be doing that too or saying that or going there or experiencing this, whatever it is, whatever that is.
