3. Navigating Grief Through Body Liberation with José San Miguel, Founder of Playground Movement


Listen Later

If you wish the wellness industry was a bit less puritanical, this episode is for you. I'm talking - you don't need to forbid yourself from going out dancing at the night club to feel good in your body. In fact, that sweaty, exhilarating feeling you get at a nightclub could be the key to body liberation.


I'm sitting down with José San Miguel, Founder of Playground Movement, for a conversation that will leave you dancing through the street like Nicole Kidman after she divorced Tom Cruise!


After going through tremendous loss, José came out on the other side with such a beautiful perspective of the world. I originally reached out to them because of this sentiment: we should assume that everyone is grieving.


They put a video on their tiktok about this philosophy and the wind was sucked out of me. How can we show up for each other in grief? And how can we show up for ourselves? This is more than a conversation about fitness. Essentially, it's two people sitting down to reflect on what it is to move through darkness and alchemize grief.


In this episode, we're chatting about:

  • Personal style
  • Queer expression
  • Alchemizing grief to bring a new idea into the world
  • What's next for Playground Movement
  • The third degree dinner party

  • We mention a few juicy resources that you don't want to miss out on so grab those HERE! You can also find the Spotify playlist that will continue the Wild Geese experience into your music loving lives.


    If you felt moved by this episode, leave a review with a very long personal story about you alchemized grief. I'm just kidding, you don't have to do that (but I would read it if you did and I would give you a little virtual forehead kiss).
