Episode #178 with Emily Cook Harris- Do the thing! - a podcast by Nada Lena

As a lifelong dancer, Emily always felt connected to the power of movement. She noticed the strength & confidence that came from pushing her body's limits and how that rippled out to other areas of her life. Emily founded EMPOWERED in 2010 with the mission of empowering those she trained to tap into their own power through fierce functional workouts and a positive mindset shift towards what your body can do (not what it looks like). From there, anything is possible.

Emily is a seasoned fitness pro with 10 years of leading fun, engaging workouts for all levels. She is a PUMA Team Faster trainer, champion for education and gender equality, and has worked with top brands & individuals all around the world. She was named Hottest Trainer by Racked New York and is now based in sunny Los Angeles. As a passionate speaker and entrepreneur, Emily hopes to empower others to take risks for what they love and create the life they dream. Fitness is the foundation of it all.

TOP POINTS FROM THE EPISODE:
1. Dreaming big and doing the work.
2. Putting in the time to be patient, grow your skills, and collaborate with others. OR about using your passion to create positive waves in the world.
3. The power is in making health & fitness a true LIFESTYLE. Eating, moving, and living in a way that makes you feel like a badass (and saying F-U to diet culture and body shaming).
4. The key is looking at health & fitness as the foundation for your life. So once that becomes a part of your daily norm, then you get to ask yourself... what now? And that's where the magic begins. :)
5. You get to look at your life and see where you want to grow - career, relationships, giving back, anything.
6. Health & fitness is the jumping off point to anything you dream.
7. You have the power to literally create it, one step at a time.
