155. Why You Deserve to Look and Feel Like the ‘Baddest’ Version of Yourself

Welcome to this Friday episode of the Unfuck your Fitness podcast . I have a kind of fun , short , sweet , spicy episode for you today . A little topic . I saw this quote on . It had to have been Instagram . That's where I spend all of my time scrolling .

Basically , I don't think there's any other app that I scroll on other than Instagram , so it had to have been there . I should have taken a picture of it so I could , like , accredit the person who came up with it , but honestly , it's not that deep , so I feel , so I feel fine about it . I'll create it . You guys can share it on Instagram .

But the quote is this I deserve to know what the baddest version of me looks like . I know it's not that deep , but for some reason it really hit me . I loved it . I didn't like . I said I didn't screenshot it . I put it in the notes section of my phone , which is a disaster . Anyone else , let me know if your notes section of your phone is a disaster .

I have so many workouts and podcast ideas and quotes from clients or just like brainstorms . I'll have a client call and something will just come into my head that I want to podcast about and so I put in my notes there's groceries , there's like it's just , it's quite the array of shit , honestly , in my notes section .

But I popped this in there in the podcast section because I wanted to talk about it and I wanted to talk about it on a day where I was feeling like I just wanted to chat with you . So that's what I want to do . So basically , yes , I deserve to know what the baddest version of me feels like .

You deserve to know what the baddest version of you feels like . I think that's so cool , like I wish someone would have said that to me sooner . Like Christy , you deserve to know . I think a lot of times and let me just speak to the mamas for a minute A lot of times we spend so much of our time and our thoughts on other people .

Of course , of course we do . We're moms . That's like what we've kind of . That's what we do . Obviously , that's . Our job as a mom is to take care of other human beings , so it makes sense that that's what we're doing . But also , I wasn't directly taught to not take care of myself or put myself last , but that's what I felt like I needed to do .

It's like you're a mom now . So there goes your body and there goes your social life and there goes your time . People say that , shit , right , I remember being pregnant and it was like well , kiss that little body . Goodbye , there goes your abs . You're never going to look like that again . You're you know you'll never .

You're never going to sleep a full night again . You're never going to be able to go out on a date night . It's like there goes your everything that I like , was or did . Basically , I felt like people were like well , there goes that . So , anyway , that's an entirely different topic .

But I now have so many different clients and I've seen women go through so many things , even myself included , that I'm like I deserve to know what the baddest version of me looks like and , more than that , what she feels like and what she likes to do , and I deserve to know those things about myself .

So I think when I read that it was just like nobody had ever said to me exactly in that way , and I take in information that's in little bites really well when someone says it , and it's like if it's a cool quote or it's just something that I can digest really , really quickly and it's just straight to the point . Just like that .

You deserve to know what the baddest version of you looks like . Straight to the point . Just like that . You deserve to know what the baddest version of you looks like . You deserve to take time for yourself . You deserve to put in the work .

If we were to take it out of a different context , in health and fitness , it's like we have our why , why we go to the gym and why we should make better choices and , yes , all of those things are great Workout because you love your body , not because you hate it . All of these quotes that are kind of pinging off in my brain right now .

They all have a great place and they have a great . They serve a really , really good purpose . But at the end of the day , if we are to look at it like , I deserve to eat healthier because the baddest version of myself needs that . I deserve to wake up earlier and spend time on myself because the baddest version of myself needs that .

I deserve to wake up earlier and spend time on myself because the baddest version of myself needs that . I deserve to work really hard in the gym and to go off a couple episodes ago . I deserve to lift heavy . I deserve to grow muscle . I deserve to be hot . I deserve to be sexy . I deserve to be a badass . I deserve to fuel my body .

I deserve to think a badass . I deserve to fuel my body . I deserve to think highly of myself . I deserve to put in the time to set this foundation and really soak up knowledge about my body , about health , about fitness , about the gym . I deserve to do all of these things right .

I think when we look at it in those terms , it makes a lot more sense , because then it's not so much us . Okay , let me just say it like it is right . Sometimes I hear things that are so cheesy and so positive . It's like toxic positivity . At the end of the day , I like straightforward . Anybody who knows me knows that I like it straightforward .

Tell me like it is . Don't beat around the bush , say it harsh , say it abrupt . Cut me off and tell me like it is . I like that kind of thing . My alarm goes off in the morning , right , let's say for me , this is me personally . If you're not this type of person , then I guess then I am not talking to you right now .

I'll talk to you on a different episode . Because I have , like I have these two sides of myself . Maybe it's because I'm a Gemini and I literally have two sides to myself , but anyway , I do have a side . That's like I want to do this for my health and I want to do this for my children and I want to do this for my family .

I want to be the best version of myself so that I can be a better mom .

I want to be the best version of myself so that I can be a better wife , so that I can be a better daughter , so that I can live longer , so that I can get up off the floor , you know , or get on the floor , I guess , and play with my grandkids someday , and then get up off the floor , and there are a shit ton of reasons why people get into shape .

But at the end of the day , when this all comes together , if I'm laying in bed in the morning and my alarm goes off and I'm like I do not wanna get up right now .

If someone were to say to me , christy , get up Someday you're want to play with your grandkids and get on the floor and play horsey , or they're going to want to jump on your back like , get up and , you know , go work out .

I don't know if that's going to get me out of bed , but if someone were to say to me hey , you deserve to know what the baddest version of you looks like . You deserve to get up , slam some weights around , dress in your cute little outfits , take a freaking cute picture picture , post it on social media .

It's part of my job , but I'm talking to you Like you deserve to know what the baddest version of you looks like and feels like and does how she operates . You deserve to have , if we're just talking , physical appearance here , which deserving to have a bad body , deserving to know what the baddest version of you looks like .

That's physical , so let's just stick with that . You deserve to know what that looks like . You deserve to be smoking hot and strong and lean and fit . You deserve to look like a freaking sexy mama in these dresses . You deserve to feel good about yourself , and not just healthy , and I'm a good mom and I'm teaching my kids how to eat healthy .

I love that shit . I love that shit and that's really , really important . But there's also this other , more abrupt side to it , which I just eat up . That's like you also just deserve to look freaking good and to put on clothes that fit you and think , god damn , my ass looks good . And to flex in a tank top and be like man . My arms look so good .

I worked so hard for this right . You deserve to know what the baddest version of you looks like . Say it with me . I deserve to know what the baddest version of me looks like you do , because you freaking do , okay . So let's show up with that energy this weekend , carry it throughout next week . If you want , carry it throughout the following week .

If you want , carry it with you forever . I kind of love it . I might put it on a shirt , I might put it on social media . I really just love it . I might put it on like a on a shirt , I might put it on social media , like I really just love it . I think it just embodies this woman , like this attitude , like it's really empowering .

It really embodies something that I love , and if it doesn't for you , that's totally fine . Like I said , but when I read this , you know sometimes you just read something and you're like , oh my God , yeah , I do deserve to know what the baddest version of me looks like .

I deserve to show up as the baddest version of myself , why I don't need to go through life wondering , oh my gosh , like I could have had a better body , I could have been hotter , I could have right , like , yeah , you could have .

And if you don't know how to get that bad version of yourself the baddest body , if you don't know how to get it , let me know . Please listen to these podcasts . Please join my Facebook group . All the links to follow me are in the show notes .

Please come follow me , because we gotta eat and we gotta lift heavy and while we're doing that , we gotta listen to some sweet jams in the gym and we gotta show up with confidence . And we've gotta show up with confidence and we've got to show up as her right . We've got to be like what is this bad version of yourself ?

What is the baddest version of yourself ? I know a lot of people that , and this might be a little cheesy , but it does help me sometimes to show up as the baddest version of myself , to show up as the baddest version of yourself , yes , okay , so you deserve to know what the baddest version of yourself looks like .

If you say that to yourself , I deserve this . What does that look like ? Maybe we need to go ahead and build her out , right ? Maybe we need to visualize . What does she look like ? What does she wear in the gym ? What does she listen to in the gym ?

I listen to some bad bitches in the gym when I'm working out and it helps me to work out and embody that spirit . Right , I'm dancing , I'm feeling great , I'm like getting into it , right ? So picture that like . I want to listen to cool music while I'm working out , because I want that attitude to embody that while I'm working out .

What does this version of me wear ? What does she look like ? What does she talk like ? What does she think like ? What does she eat ? Who are her friends ? You know ? What books does she read ? What does her house look like ? What does her time management look like ?

It's a lot , I understand , but we can build that out because if you're like , do I deserve that ? If you're still kind of in that mindset of like I don't know really how to embody that . I don't really understand that . That's fine . And also maybe you're just at that stage of your cycle where you're in that more emotional stage .

So maybe come back , like next week or the following month , when you're in your spicy era of the month . Ladies , but seriously , men too , you deserve to know what the baddest version of you looks like . You deserve to spend time on yourself . You deserve to get ripped and shredded , you deserve to eat well . You deserve all of that . We all do .

It's just a matter of like embodying that . So I just think that's a really cool way to move into this weekend and embody that kind of person , that baddest version of yourself , and really take some time to just kind of think about it and figure out .

You know this year is all about focus Talked about that at the beginning of the year , obviously in my New Year's resolution style and kind of what is your focus for this year ? I think for me . When I read that I thought , yes , it's been a while since I have felt like the baddest version of myself .

You know , I've spent the last few years kind of going through some shit got knocked down a little bit and I healed .

And you know therapy and like I'm still healing and I'm still processing things and like working on myself and like I have thoughts of myself and I have to kind of kick them to the curb and say , nope , that doesn't serve me anymore , or that person doesn't serve me anymore , or you know , kind of figuring that stuff out .

So it's okay to be in this in a stage two . I know a lot of you .

I've actually gotten quite a few messages lately from women either starting to work with me or , you know , just through my contact me page and like telling me a little bit about themselves , like , and even new ladies joining Fit Club , saying that like I went through some stuff , I went through some trauma , I had to heal and I'm working on myself and I don't

know who I am and I don't know what I believe and I don't know what . You know what's next for me and what the rules are .

Because when you go through things and you change and you heal and you maneuver through life as kind of a different person , because trauma , things happening to you , no matter what it is , if it affects you in a deep enough way , you do change essentially so you are now a new person walking through this life in a way that you've never walked through it before .

So if you're in that stage where you're kind of confused and you're like I'm kind of in this soft , trying to figure life out , you know timeframe , that's completely fine but also know that it's okay to not know exactly who you are and where you're going , and you know why things happen and like and all that kind of stuff .

It's okay to not be okay , it's okay to not know all the answers . I don't believe that we ever will , obviously , but you can still embody this . You deserve to know what the baddest version of you looks like , feels like , is right . You still deserve that and I think I struggle with that . A lot is like . Deserve is a weird word for me to kind of feel .

It's like I don't know what I deserve . I don't . I don't really . That's kind of a weird thing to like . If you really want to get deep about it , I it is kind of a weird thing Like what do any of us deserve really ? But when you kind of take the depth out of it , we really do deserve that . Like in my soul , at the core of my being .

I believe we do deserve to know what the baddest version of us looks like , feels like . We get one time , we get one lifetime on this earth and you do deserve to put time into yourself , to put effort into yourself and to know what that baddest version of you looks like . To bring it back to physical , you do deserve that .

So when you show up in the gym and you show up this weekend , if you're going out with friends and you're like , nope , I'm not going to have all that nasty food this time , I'm just going to stick with the salad , I'm going to stay within my macros you deserve that . You deserve that . Your body deserves that .

When you go to the gym and ladies , gents , whatever , if you're scared of kind of lifting heavy , if you're scared of showing up and going to the gym , you deserve to be there . You deserve to show up . You deserve to take up space there . You got this right .

We have to kind of embody that attitude , embody that spirit and if you can't embody it for yourself yet , embody it from me .

Take me along with you in your ears , listen to this episode or just keep saying I deserve to know what the baddest version of me looks like Just keep saying that , because I've said it to myself over the last few days and I'm like man , it feels so good to just say that . So that's all I got for you today . Happy Friday .

I hope you have a wonderful weekend . Definitely embody some of this energy that I am feeling today , I think I . I hope I continue to feel it throughout the weekend as well , and I'll talk to you guys on the next episode . Bye . Thanks for listening to today's show .
