In this inspiring episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine chats with Lesley Logan, a second-generation certified Pilates teacher, breathwork expert, and mindset coach. Lesley is on a mission to help people transform their lives by reclaiming their time, energy, and confidence. As the founder of OnlinePilatesClasses.com and host of the podcast Be It Till You See It, Lesley offers practical tools for building habits that stick, letting go of what no longer serves you, and embracing self-care as a priority.   Lesley shares her wisdom on how Pilates can be done anytime, anywhere—even in your pajamas! She also breaks down the science behind low-impact movement, the connection between habits and emotions, and why self-care is essential (not selfish!) for living your best life. Wendy and Lesley explore topics such as: The Truth About Pilates: Why you don’t need expensive equipment or a studio to start practicing. Building Habits That Last: How to make tiny changes that align with your values and create sustainable routines. Self-Care in Midlife: How to prioritize yourself without guilt and embrace movement that supports your energy and hormones. Be It Till You See It: The mindset shift that empowers you to act like the person you want to become. Breaking the Wellness Shame Cycle: Encouraging others (and yourself!) to make self-care a non-negotiable part of life.   Lesley also introduces her popular Pilates Deck, a beautifully designed set of exercise cards that make Pilates accessible wherever you are. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi, a Pilates newbie, or simply looking for ways to feel stronger and more present, this episode will leave you feeling motivated and ready to take action.   Key Takeaways: Pilates is for everyone! It’s about using what you have—your body and a mat—to create strength and resilience. Small, consistent steps are the secret to making big changes in your habits and life. Self-care is the most selfless thing you can do for those you love. Start asking: “What would the future me do?” and act accordingly.   👉 Connect with Lesley!
