Welcome back. Welcome back to another episode of This is Joy and Claire. This week on the show, we have a very special guest, Kaisa Keranen. Kaisa is a personal trainer, a fitness educator, social media influencer. She is super fun, very innovative. We have been having conversations for the past year and a half – Claire and I are wanting to have more conversations around movement in a way that feels good, not as a punishment. And this interview is just that. Kaisa graduated from the University of Washington. She was a member of the track and field team there, and then she went on to get her master’s in exercise science, sports, performance, and injury prevention. So now she owns KaisaFit and just developed her own method of movement. She shares daily on her platform. You can follow her @kaisafit on Instagram, and then I’ll link everything in our show notes for you to find her. The other cool thing is her team was nice enough to give our listeners a discount code. You can try out her method for a month by using the code GGWOD. As in Girls Gone WOD. We are using that code because I am also going to release this episode on our Girls Gone WOD feed. We are just going to use that one code, GGWOD, and then I will also do a direct link in the show notes as well. Just open this episode, look at the show notes, click on the link. It will take you right there if that is easier. We had a great conversation. We talked all about her background and what led her into this field. She really lives and teaches by a motto that health is a feeling and not a look. Claire and I often talk about that as well. It’s really hard in the social media world to not compare. We are still going to do it, and Kaisa and I talk about that. We are always going to compare. That is always going to be there. We are always going to have our self-doubts. But how we can move through that and have a lifestyle that is fun and includes movement. I am really grateful that she gave us her time. She is really busy. She is really popular. I think you’ll love this episode, so thank you guys again for supporting us. Here is the episode with Kaisa.  Joy: Thank you for being here. We want to talk first and foremost about your background. I know you were an athlete. People know a lot about you already. You have a really dedicated following. This may be the therapist in me but take me back a little bit further. How were you like as a kid? What was fitness like in your family growing up? Kaisa: Yeah. Well first of all, thank you so much for having me.
