Today I'm honored to welcome Stacey Shadler to the podcast.

Most people don't know this, but Stacey was one of my first mentors in the fitness industry.

20 years ago, which is wild to say, when I was 14 years old, I got an internship at a local gym and she was one of the coaches.

She immediately took me under her wing and has had a profound impact on my career ever since.

Stacey is an extraordinary mother to two beautiful daughters, a wife, a sister, daughter,

friend, and coach.

She's hilarious and genius and passionate and loving.

She's one of the best coaches in the world, and in her words, her passion is helping women feel

really fucking good in their bodies i am blessed to

have her in my life and be a part of my family stacey welcome to the podcast i just got goosebumps

that was so nice it is amazing to have you here thank you for coming here nice to have made the

trip it's a real like full circle moment yeah good. Good job, Jordan. 20 years. It's pretty wild.

Before we dive into all the fun stuff, who are you? I mean, you did a good summary there. I'm just someone who has always loved strength training and movement of every single kind. And I've been lucky to be

able to do this for the past 18 years. And I didn't even actually ever think that I would be

married or be a mother. And that's been such a huge, awesome bonus to my life. So just trying to

manage helping women, which is my passion, and being a mom wife. Do you say you didn't think you'd be able to be a mother? I didn't think I wanted to be a mom. Why? I just was not part of my, that's just like not what I ever. Like growing up, you're just like, there's no way I want to do this. I just really thought that it was all going to be like work, really. Like that's like what made me happy.

Just grinding work.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So when did that shift?

When I met Anthony, my husband.

Yes.
