She explains why collecting more exercises won't cure your imposter syndrome, and how understanding the deeper "why" behind the classical system transforms your confidence. Listen to the episode to learn the crucial difference between upLift and the eLevate program, plus how to step away from repetitive scripts and start trusting your own intuition.
Lesley Logan vowed she would never create a Pilates teacher training program, until a problem in the industry became impossible to ignore. In this episode of Be It Till You See It, she opens up about why she finally broke her own rule to build upLift. She breaks down how the program bridges the gap between manual-based choreography and teaching the real body in the room, and why a truly comprehensive education gives instructors endless career options, intuitive presence, and a way to ditch imposter syndrome for good.
Some months move so fast that staying grounded feels impossible. In this Fuck Yeah Friday, host Lesley Logan makes the case for creating space to be human together, even from the road in Cambodia. She shares the small tweak to her morning pages that clears the head clutter before her second block, why Dolly Parton's legacy of unconditional generosity keeps inspiring her, and the mantra she's carrying into the weekend.

They unpack why perfectionism is a deeply embedded identity rather than a bad habit, challenge the myth of self-sabotage, and reveal what burnout is actually a sign of. Lesley and Brad share how swapping your daily to-do list for result-driven targets and practicing daily self-celebration can rewire your subconscious identity to unlock alignment-driven success.
