Hi, guys. Welcome to POV. You're my therapist, the podcast where I vent you listen and you do not get paid ever at all and will never get paid. But today I am so excited because we are in NYC and I am joined with a very, very special guest. Today I have with me Chase Bird, who, first of all, is not spelled a regular way. It's spelled C-H-Y. So close. C-Y. C-H-A-Y-S-E. Shocking. You got the Y, though. People just forget it. That's how I know like you're a Southern girl. Thank you. Chis. Chis. I'm going to spell it how you say it chis. I appreciate it. But if you don't know Chase, she's an amazing fitness person. She is, I didn't want to say influencer because I don't know if you like that word. I just go social media advertiser. If anyone ever asks, is that it makes me nervous saying influencer.

Content creator, I feel like, is too mainstream.

Oh, yeah.

And I think that's why I relate to your content so much, because even though it's, you know, I'm not a fitness girlie, like, that's not my sterk, but you

have such an openness with your audience about like where you are, your mental health,

your healing journey, and all of that. And that's so exciting to see. So how do you feel like

you, like, show up in social media? Honestly, I don't know. I just try to present myself as who I genuinely am because people know,

they know whenever you're trying to BS something. So it's like there's no point me trying to

filter who I am or what I'm doing because again, the truth is always going to come out.

So there's no point in trying to hide or not deflect, but deflect what makes you, you and like me with my fitness

journey, it started so rough and I don't want people to go through that. So I want to come off as

genuine as possible and as real as possible so people know that they're not alone in

whatever they're doing, whether it's fitness or just life, because I wouldn't say
