18 min - 011 - Hiring, Being Hired, & Mentorship

34 min - 010 - Psoas Pstories
We had this on the backlog, but brought it to the front of the line after listening to a new episode of The Thinking Practitioner. We'd encourage you to give a listen to their Episode 25 prior to jumping into this one. Til and Whitney do a great job with the biomechanics and covering the controversy (*gasp*) of psoas work.
Jeff and Bori each take different approaches both to the the how and why of psoas work and we explain each in the episode.
Bori also shares a couple horror stories of people doing psoas work poorly, Jeff shares a crazy psoas story

38 min - 009 - Failure (we all do it)
This episode was inspired by the great podcast How's The Pressure. Haley Winter would close each interview with a question about failure.
Bori and Jeff take on some cases of failure, and what they learned from those tough moments.
We'd love you to share your own experiences of failure and learning - send us messages on Instagram!

29 min - 008 - Building Your Reputation
Let's get to brass tacks - how do you approach another health and wellness professional and let them know that you're actually a partner rather than just looking for easy business? Two words: service & curiosity!

44 min - 006 - Teaching & Practicing, The Perfect Match
We both love the pairing of teaching and practicing. In this episode we get into why it's so resonant for each of us.
As they say, "teaching is like learning twice."
Keep an eye on Bori's IG for when she'll be teaching again.
Jeff teaches for Reflexive Performance Reset.

25 min - 005 - So, What's A Session With You Like?
Oh boy did we go wide on this one! It's a bit more focused on how the rubber hits the road and what a client can expect on their first visit.
We share how we prepare for and approach sessions, where we're really similar and where we're really different (OMG - different viewpoints and we're still friends?!).
Stick around because the last part of this episode has some absolute gems in it.
We promised a bunch of links, and here they are!
- A PRI Introduction for normal human beings
- Somatic Experiencing
- RPR - try this at home!
- Be Activated
