The Feeling Lighter Podcast

Maria Kliavkov returns to the Feeling Lighter Podcast for a deeply honest conversation about how self-talk, guilt, grief, and subconscious beliefs shape the way we respond to movement, parenting, chronic stress, and life changes. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re dealing with a true physical limitation, a real-life circumstance, or a limiting belief, this episode gives you a framework for telling the difference. We break down how to hear what your inner voice is actually saying, how to spot the egoic mind as the “foot soldier” of your belief system, and why phrases like “I’m not a good mom” or “I don’t have time” often point to something deeper than the surface story. Maria shares practical tools for getting honest about what’s happening in your body and your mind. From mirror work to claim statements, this episode is full of gentle, actionable ways to interrupt self-criticism and reconnect with what’s true.

This week, we’re sharing a special episode from Zach Gurick’s Fully Alive Podcast, featuring our very own Coach Tyler Bramlett as a guest! Tyler opens up about his personal journey through injury, healing, and ultimately redefining what fitness means to him. Together, they explore moving beyond toxic fitness culture, shifting the focus from appearance and performance to longevity and self-care, and finding movement that feels joyful, functional, and sustainable for life.

It’s a conversation that aligns so closely with what we believe here at Feeling Lighter, we knew we had to share it with you!
