Hey there! Thanks so much for listening to this edition of the Shalene show. If you are a regular subscriber and this episode

showing up a few hours later than normal, I do apologize. Things have been a little crazy around here.

Without a doubt, we have been going through some strange and very uncertain times. I have been

racking my brain on how best to serve you. I thought today I would start by just, you know, chatting with you like a friend and letting you know like,

okay, so what's going on here? What am I feeling? What are we doing? What's going on? What's the sentiment? So now what?

What I think you need to do to help calm yourself? Just stay grounded. I'm going to go over things I think are not helpful. Things that are helpful.

I'm also going to share with you what we're going to do moving forward because I've been saying to people you need to plan.

And what I've been hearing in return is what am I planning for? Great question.

So we're going to get into all of that today. But the first tip I have for you is you want to keep things as normal as possible wherever you can.

In the spirit of keeping things normal, let's play the show intro.

Welcome to the Shalene show. Shalene is a New York Times bestselling author celebrity fitness trainer and obsessed with helping you live your dream life.

I just shared your latest podcast out to my people and here's what I want to just say thank you for.

Thank you for recognizing the reality. The people are recalibrating right now.

And then once they've recalibrated, then they'll be able to move forward. Thank you for addressing what people are really going through.

I follow many thought leaders and I got to tell you, you are pretty much just one of the few that have not turned me off during this time.

Thank you for sharing such amazing advice for free. Thank you for taking the time to also share with us that you are needing to recalibrate.

Thank you for being you and thank you for giving us the tools that we need to execute today. That's it. Over and out.

It's so cool. It's so crazy. It's so full circle to have petra call and leave a voicemail message for me because petra

Clober if you don't recognize that name that is someone who I've always seen and looked to as one of my mentors in the fitness industry. I remember

many, many years ago going to fitness conferences and thinking she's so freaking cool and so like

grounding and normal and humble and I want to be like her so to get a compliment from someone like petra and just knowing that petra listens to the show
