This week’s guest is our personal trainer and dear friend, Nate Bacott. With a background in both Human Development and Positive Coaching Psychology, Nate brings a refreshing and nuanced perspective to the world of fitness. His coaching clients range from Olympic and Crossfit athletes to young kids. Whoever the client, he thoughtfully listens to their individual goals and circumstances in order to help them discover their own power to sustain them for the long game. We’re clients of Nate’s, ourselves, and Nate has been an integral part of helping us build healthy workout rhythms into our days—which have added up to a happier, more grounded life over time.

Throughout this conversation we explore the idea of sustainable fitness, how to give yourself time and space to anchor to the moment, and what it means to walk yourself into the answers you already know. We loved getting to unpack Nate’s philosophy on life, emotions, and wellness. He shows up with his full self—you can feel that.

Keep the conversation going...

Table Question: What does it feel like to be in tune with yourself? When do you feel most at home with you?

Journal Prompt: What does “being healthy” mean to you? What ingredients are important to you right now? How has your definition of health changed over time?

Action Step: Practice anchoring yourself to a moment by taking five minutes to journal in detail everything that’s coming up for you. Whether it’s grief, celebration, or something in between—write it all out on the page.
