Unleashing Your Inner Greatness: Overcoming Self-Doubt and Embracing Your Potential

By Jean Laguerre | Health & Fitness

You guys, there is something I need to get off of my chest…I am SICK of having my body define who I am. Those of you who have been with me the last ten years know that I have not always been a "skinny" fitness instructor. When I first started teaching online, I was the "inspiring" and "body positive" "fat" instructor. Now that I have achieved my own personal fitness goal, you know, practiced what I preached, I have somehow turned into a "fat shaming" and "irresponsible" "skinny" instructor…How does that even make sense?! I am literally the exact same person teaching the exact same things! I mean, my number one goal over the years has always been to help YOU reach YOUR goals. What kind of an example would I be setting if I didn't reach my own goals?? This culture of body shaming has to stop. We are all people just trying our best to feel good about ourselves. No matter my size, I am just the same Cassey who only wants the best for you.

  • Christy Checo says:

    I really needed this because I’ve been feeling this idea of not being good enough too. It’s easy to say to ignore it, but I do care, especially when it comes from those you love. I’m sorry for these comments. But you are such an inspiration for voicing and starting these conversations. You are good enough no matter what you look like or do in life. Keep being you, because you’re nothing short but amazing and inspire me to keep doing me too πŸ’–πŸ’–

  • Crystal Jones says:

    I love your workouts and your energy. People who comment on your body are projecting themselves onto you. Don’t you let them bring you down. Keep doing you!

  • α΄‹α΄€α΄› says:

    we honestly need more people like you in the world πŸ₯°

  • Haley B says:

    I honestly feel I used β€œbody positivity” to justify my unhealthy decisions. Led to me gaining so much weight. Some people need to be held accountable & have a stricter lifestyle!

  • Love POKΓ‰MON says:

    Everyone who dislikes this video is a monster. It’s ok to not like a person but don’t say it in their faces like you wouldn’t do in real life. Ok

  • katelyn williams says:

    Wow. I can never understand how persons can jus say things without having any regard for someone’s feelings or personal experiences. You’re the reason I got into fitness back in 2015, and ur the reason, I believe I kept coming back. But u really never know what someone is going thru behind screens, so sorry to hear that u have to deal with this

  • Lilly Bayas says:

    As long as you are healthy, mentally and physically, and happy, that is enough.

  • Ledisant Ledisant says:

    Cassey: was bullied by kids for being overweight
    Me: was bullied by my mom for being overweight😭😭😭
    What I’ve learned is you can’t please everyone. πŸ˜”

  • Love POKΓ‰MON says:

    Blogilates is honestly one of the most beautiful people of this earth u should NOT have any insecurities you are beautifulπŸŒΊπŸ’πŸŒΈπŸŒŸβœ¨β˜ƒοΈ

  • Harmylie β€’ says:

    I haven’t finished this video yet, but oh Cassey I truly want you to see this, so I already write it. You ARE a good instructor. Actually, you are an AMAZING teacher, the best in my opinion. You’ve succeeded in becoming who you want to be, and just for this.. Congratulations. You are so, so inspiring. I wish I could send you back all the hope, the motivation, the light, positivity and empowerment you’ve sent me. Thank you so so much, you’ve changed my life. I discovered you in March and oh.. Truly, thank you. You’ve helped me so much through my journey of healing from depression and my eating disorder.. I’m still learning, but oh, I’m at the end of the video now, and I love you so much as well Cassey. β€οΈπŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•

  • Jada Rector-Plotted says:

    Don’t pay attention to “toxic” people..
    They are miserable with themselves obviously because their judging you and NOT themselves. Perhaps if they did self-examination regularly they wouldn’t have time to leave negative comments about you. Ever since I found you in my YouTube search I have strongly been a loyal Watcher of your videos and just recently got the Blogilates app. I know you’re transforming, because I’m transforming! I’m so sorry that your suffering while trying to help others…❀

  • Andrea Whalen says:

    Haters can hate all they want, but Cass you’re a Queen!

  • N Fischer says:

    Your channel helped change my fitness levels. These other people are irrelevant, your friends, family, loyal subscribers (only when it comes to youtube content) are relevant. Your beautiful self will never be enough for the sad hateful people on the world, which lets be honest are a lot.

  • Miss Rae says:

    “My focus was to be a good instructor. Not a good Asian instructor, not a good fat instructor, not a good female instructor. Just a good instructor…”

  • Seyaa Acolatse says:

    I’ll admit I hadn’t been tuning in for a while. I knew you were on your journey but I hadn’t been checking in to see how it was going. When I first saw ur after pics I was like whoa Cassey lost some weight. I never thought that you were too thin nor did I ever feel u were β€œfat”. I just thought that your looked more toned, tighter in places and lifted. There is nothing wrong with that. With healthy choices things change. Keep ur head up. Be strong.

  • It’s me Periodt says:

    Broo they just insecure that they can’t have a transformation like yours! It’s legit then projecting their own insecurities. This is soo normal with everything in life. Don’t care too much about the mean comments focus on us the people that love you and that you help every day! Every day I wake up and do your morning stretch routine and listen to you being soo positive and your voice legit makes my morning and sets my mood for the whole day soo keep being yourself cause for me it’s more than enough and it helps me every single day. From a fan from Portugal πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ή love you queen πŸ‘‘

  • Nadya R says:

    This honestly sounds like people projecting their own insecurities and lack of self love on someone who is actually doing something about their happiness and body. Been following you for years and every time I get unmotivated, you are the one who brings me back to caring about my health and fitness. Keep up the great work, love you Cassey <3
