Trust and Believe Podcast

Overthinking can cloud your mind with things that can get in the way of your results. As Shaun trains, he has found mental fog happens to him as well and has found a way to “drain the brain” of the fog and achieve full mental clarity while pushing through his workouts to give it his all. His funnel system is the perfect way to eliminate negative thoughts and find success by draining out the heaviness.

It is such a struggle to look in the mirror and see someone else, a completely different person from your reality. As Shaun goes through his new fitness journey, he noticed that such an issue can get overlooked. Someone with BDD can obsess with their body image for three to eight hours a day, and although this is not a treatment, Shaun would love to help discuss the reality around it and help overcome some of those tough moments for those who do struggle. He has also asked for help from three people who have struggled with body dysmorphia to share their stories. Micky discusses her struggle through hearing she was not good enough as a competitor and finally finding self-love. Elias talks about the difficulties of comparing ourselves to others, and Carly gets into the negative talk that can be instillment at a very early age.

This topic may be defeating to some and inspiring to others because Shaun knows that every year when the weather starts heating up – everyone begins thinking of that summer body. While it’s completely understandable that people have goals, he wants to clear something very important up – YOU CAN BE HOT AS YOU ARE RIGHT NOW.

Shaun wanted to talk about this very important topic on his podcast because while it can be very to post and express emotions on social, he wants to get something off his chest. You may disagree with what he says and how he feels, but it would be great if you could take a moment to hear him out to understand his points.

To close out June as Pride Month comes to an end, Shaun wanted to bring his listeners in to answer any questions you may have for him directly from his IG and Twitter feed. Questions answered on today’s episode:

• Why is LGBTQ+ representation so important, especially to school-aged kids?
• What is the legacy you, Shaun, want to leave behind?
• Is it ok to not know where you fit under the LGBTQ+ umbrella (to know you’re Queer but don’t know which “label”)? How can you be authentically you and have Pride if you don’t know how you identify & don’t know who/what you are?
• When you’re running on empty, how do you fill your cup so you can be your best self for others?
• How do I talk about all of it generally? I don’t want to disrespect anyone but so many changes I want to learn? 
• The best response when someone says it’s your choice to be gay?
• What is the proper way to ask someone what pronoun(s) they identify as, or would like you to use?
• What is the best thing an ally ever did to support your journey?
