Welcome to Perfectly Unfinished Conversations, the Iron Lab podcast with Coach Jo…

Coach Kim 00:14

…and Coach Kim…

Coach Jo 00:15

Where you ride shotgun with us as we have raw, real, unfiltered, and unfinished conversations about trying to eat, sleep, train, and live with some integrity in a messy, imperfect life.

Coach Kim 00:27

We're all about creating a strong support system, taking radical personal responsibility, having fun, and being authentic. And one of the most common themes you're going to find in this podcast is the idea that we create positive momentum in our life, by doing what we call b-minus work.

Coach Jo 00:45

We’re making gains and getting ahead and loving life without self-sabotaging our goals by striving for perfection. We get it done by moving ahead…

Coach Kim 00:55

…before we're ready…

Coach Jo 00:56

…when we aren't feeling like it…

Coach Kim 00:58

…and without hesitation.

We got episode 18, Yin and Yang: Why you need feminine energy in a masculine gym world. Welcome back, folks. We are really excited for today's episode on yin and yang, because when it comes to health and fitness, we think it plays a role that has probably never been addressed this way. And so we're going to dive straight in. Now to kind of preface, Joe and I had this terrific conversation the other day when we were connecting about masculine and feminine energy, and that's what inspired this podcast conversation. So let me set the stage: in my own 2024, year end review, I had kind of an informal coaching session with a super smart friend named Carly, where she had me do this sort of reclamation of self exercise, so to speak, where I review my life, my energy, tools, gifts, and I am paying attention to where I may have left an aspect of myself or a piece of myself with another person, place or thing at some point in the past. This is the idea about energetics and about calling back pieces of yourself or energy to you. So it sounds pretty out there, and at the time, during the exercise, I didn't really grasp the concept. But afterwards, while I was thinking on this idea and reflecting, I had this massive aha moment. So for many of you who know me, personally, I love New Mexico. My family has a history there. I have family who lives there, and I feel called to be there. I really feel at home there. I love it. But one of the last times I visited there in 2021 with my mom and my sisters, at the end of the trip, I truly was not ready to come home. And don't get me wrong, I love my life here. I have a beautiful life here, and I love my people, my husband, my business, my friendships, but I didn't want to leave. And so for months after I returned home, I longed to return and grieved that departure. And it took a good eight or nine months for my heart to settle. Now in the reclamation exercise, I had this aha that I had left a piece of myself there, maybe a soul piece or an energetic piece, but it was a soft piece. It was a part of my heart, and I would label that as feminine energy. And so the really cool thing was, is just that awareness and recognition and the intention of calling myself back to myself, was really meaningful to me and re energizing. I felt an actual shift, and it was the return of yin, this feminine energy, back to myself. And I felt it like a puzzle piece being put back into place, making me whole again.

Coach Jo 04:18

And for those of you who think that sounds like a little out there, we want to bring this idea to life for you. Yin and yang originate from ancient Chinese philosophy and are foundational to Taoism. This concept was first documented in text around 700 BCE. And BCE stands for Before Common Era. It's a non religious alternative to BC, which means, before Christ. So yin, yin, top of it represents the feminine, the dark, the more passive and even more receptive energy, while yang embodies the masculine, the bright, the active, you know, loud energy, the. Think of yin and yang as the ultimate dynamic duo of energy vibes. Like together, they symbolize the duality of nature. They're not opposites like enemies. They're more like peanut butter and jelly, like fire and ice or Thelma and Louise. So let's just break them down, yin energy, this is your chill, Netflix and sweatpants, candlelit bath kind of vibe. Yin is about stillness, softness and introspection. It's cool, it's calming, and it's really nourishing, like a big, cozy hug for your nervous system. In people, men with yin energy might be the grounded, introspective guys who are great listeners, they have calm, confidence and a vibe like they'd rather meditate than shout at the TV during a hockey game. Women with yin energy, they exude nurturing vibes. They're intuitive, creative, and probably the ones you'll call when your life feels like a hot fucking mess and you need someone to just get it out. So yang energy, now, the opposite side of the spectrum, this is your go getter, like Red Bull, Beyonce is–who run the world–anthem. Kind of energy. Yang is bold. It's dynamic. It's action oriented...
