Hey, it's Shalene. Before we get started with today's show, I wanted to tell you that my new book, One Through One Method, is now available on preorder at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

The One Through One Method book isn't a diet book. It's a book to improve your gut health, to help you balance your hormones, to fix your cravings, to help you lose weight and to get truly healthy from the inside out.

To become an expert at your metabolism and nutrition. This book is a culmination of the last three years of research, interviews, assembling the team of the best registered dietitians and integrative health professionals.

It's been tested over 25,000 people before we even released it to the public. I want to help you stop dieting because diets don't work.

This book is going to give you the answers that you've been looking for. But bottom line is this. If it were just as simple as knowing what to eat and when to eat and how to eat and when to exercise, we wouldn't have an obesity epidemic in our country.

It's more than that. Because if you're going to make these things stick, you've got to change your mindset. That's why when you preorder the book, I want to give you my mindset coaching program for free.

It's a $97 value, but I'm giving it to you as a bonus for pre-ordering the 131 method. You can start listening to those audio coaching programs today before the book even comes out.

And that will help you change everything, not just your health and fitness. When you shift your mindset, you can improve all areas of your life.

And it's yours for free when you pre-order the book. All you have to do is go to 131book.com and enter your email address and order number and you can start listening today.

Thank you for ordering my new book and thank you for prioritizing your health. All right, off to the show.

Hey there. Well, you have arrived at the Shaline show on a Friday, which means it's Car Smart Friday. So put your seat belt down. We're about to go for a ride.

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.

All right, so before I turn it over to the actual show for today, I want to just give it a little bit of context. So this is a conversation between myself and my husband.

We were driving home from dinner. I think that's where it's coming home from. And started talking about basically a kid that we know who is really struggling now.

And we assumed this is going to happen because when they were growing up, we, our kids played on the same sports teams with them. And this parent was just like ruthless, seriously ruthless.

And then we started talking about the whole controversy with these parents who are, you know, so, so concerned with what school their kids get into. Why? Either worried about their kids' future?

I wonder or is it that they're more concerned with their own reputation and how the rest of the world perceives them based on what their kids are doing?

So we got into this conversation about athletics and parental pressures. And so anyways, that's what we started talking about. I don't even know if I told them I was recording. I do that sometimes.

But anyways, enjoy this conversation about parenting and athletics and the pressure that we place on our children to live up to our expectations and how much more important it is to let our kids be who they were meant to be off to the show.

So can I ask you a question about athletics and what it was about your own childhood experience that changed or shaped the way you felt we should parent our kids.

And handle them in athletics.

Yeah, as a kid, I always felt that, you know, I got more love from my, especially from my dad, if I did really good in sports. And so it quickly...
