Injury prevention is often framed as doing everything right: better form, smarter programming, more strength, etc. And while that work matters, it leaves out a crucial piece of the picture. In this episode, I talk about the hidden message many of us absorb when we focus solely on prevention, why injuries can feel especially devastating for people who "did everything right," and what real longevity requires in an unpredictable life.

In this episode, I walk through the signs of focusing too hard on form, posture, and control and how that might actually be making your body more rigid, which can backfire into getting weaker, experiencing more pain or stiffness, and feeling less mobile. We explore the nuances of what it looks like when movement turns into something you have to manage, how form "rules" add up quietly and become tightness, fatigue, and recurring discomfort, what kind of support actually helps restore confidence and trust in your movement.

Welcome back to the Overrated vs Underrated series, where I break down common exercises, drills, and so-called "fixes" for mobility limitations and nagging injuries. In today's episode, we're focusing on ankle mobility, one of the original mobility hot topics and most commonly searched for exercises. I'll walk through a few ankle mobility drills or approaches that tend to be recommended far more than they deserve, explain why they often don't lead to meaningful change, and then share the approaches I find to be far more effective and transferable. This episode is about helping you think more clearly about ankle mobility instead of just doing more of it. Whether you're a coach or movement professional looking to sharpen your approach, or someone who's been working on their ankles without seeing the progress you expect, this conversation will help you understand what actually moves the needle.

If you're a millennial or were around in the early 2000s, you probably saw the shift in how fitness and women's bodies were talked about. For a lot of us, it felt better and more empowering, especially when we found lifting. But I've been thinking a lot about what that shift didn't fix, the new problems it created, and why it still shows up so much when people get hurt. In this episode, I talk about how that mindset shaped so many of us and why it matters when pain or injury takes away the things we used to rely on to feel okay in our bodies.

This past Christmas, I thought I would gift something more impactful to my mom and MIL: the gift of strength. In this episode, I'm covering how this came about, how the first session went, and the often overlooked value of support when learning something new or navigating challenging things. I also share how I'm approaching their programming with the nuances of injury and mobility considerations. Tune in to hear what it actually looks like to get two 60+ women who don't love lifting into the gym, and why helping people get stronger is often simple, but never quite as simple as it seems.

The start of a new year often comes with a subtle push to "do more, plan faster, figure it all out." But that energy isn't always the best place to set goals from. In this episode, I'm exploring how to release the urgency trap and trust the pace of your own progress. I share why rushing small moments actually steals energy, a simple mindset shift that helps you move deliberately, not forcefully, how to approach 2026 with intention and ease. If you've felt the New Year push already, this episode is a reminder that progress doesn't need to be frantic, it unfolds naturally, just like Lao Tzu said: "Nature does not hurry; yet everything is accomplished."

If you're anything like me, you've been proud of your ability to tolerate, manage, and be the bigger person, but that badge of honor often comes with a hidden cost. In this episode, I explore how chronic tolerance quietly accumulates in your nervous system, leading to burnout, resentment, and exhaustion you can't rest away. As we close out the Year of the Snake, it's a powerful time to finally shed what we'd like to leave behind in 2025, including old patterns of self-abandonment. If you've ever told yourself, "I'm fine; I can handle it," this episode will help you see the cost you've been paying and how to start reclaiming your energy.

We're often told to "listen to our bodies." But what happens when you are listening, and that sneakily has turned into managing more than you realize? In this episode, I share a personal moment that honestly cracked me wide open this year. This conversation is about the subtle way competent, self-aware people accidentally end up with too much background noise trying to manage their bodies. If you're someone who's always "fine," always managing, always managing, always figuring it out, this episode is a gentle but honest interruption.

We're living in a culture obsessed with calm, as if stillness is the destination and anything that disturbs it is a threat. But bodies don't grow that way. Neither do relationships. Neither do we. In this episode, I explore how our fear of stress creates more stress, how avoidance shrinks our capacity, and how conflict tolerance is the quiet muscle alot of us miss out on training. You'll hear about how connection requires friction, why calm is the result of capacity (not the prerequisite), and how you build resilience in your body the same way you do in your nervous system: slowly, intentionally, and through exposure that honors your limits without insulating you from life.

Core training is one of the most misunderstood parts of fitness because most people are following an outdated roadmap. In this Overrated vs Underrated episode, I'm breaking down the core exercises that get way too much credit, and the ones that are often missing that are integral in building strength for real life, injury resilience, and better lifts. We'll talk about why anti-movement work and "just squat and deadlift" aren't enough, why unstable-surface chaos isn't helping, and what better core training looks like. If you're tired of feeling like your core work isn't getting you anywhere and want core training that actually changes how your body feels, this one's for you.
