Hosted by Cori Lefkowith, founder of Redefining Strength, this show helps you understand what’s actually happening inside your body — and what to do about it.

Through real coaching insights and conversations with leading experts in women’s health, metabolism, and behavior change...each episode breaks down the science in a way that actually applies to real life.
Because the answer isn’t working harder. It’s learning how to work smarter so your effort finally creates the strength, energy, and confidence you’ve been chasing.

FHP 404 - Positivity In Pain
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What drives us to make a change?
Pain.
Pain is an incredibly powerful motivator.
And by pain I mean also often FEAR.
It’s an odd thing, but we humans are truly more driven by pain than by gain.
We may want a specific outcome, a specific positive…
But we are most likely to actually make a change toward that goal when there is pain not just something to be gained.
The idea of a six pack, the idea of millions of dollars, the idea of running a PR…well…as weird as it sounds…they aren’t really powerful motivators as much as we think we want them.
They only become powerful motivators if there is a great pain with NOT moving forward toward them. Or a great pain in where we are now.
Pain is what drives us to make a change.
Like think about during the holidays….when we feel…well…out of shape, disgusting, clothing feels uncomfortable and tight…we feel like blobs.
We feel “in pain” so to speak.
This is when we most often take action.
However, in taking action often we lose focus on this pain and start to focus on the gain we want.

Instead we may actually need to EMBRACE and OWN our pain and use it as a POSITIVE.
Yup.
There is positivity in embracing and truly feeling and reminding yourself of your pain.
While we tend to shy away from fear and pain as negative emotions…emotions to be avoided at all costs, instead we need to find ways to use them to actually achieve the goals we’ve always dreamed of.
And here are 3 ways I think you can do just that.
