What if weight loss isn’t about “trying harder,” but about how your body actually experiences fullness, safety, and reward?

In this episode of Three Questions, I dive into the three questions I wish more people would ask when it comes to weight loss. We’ll look beyond the tired calories-in, calories-out narrative and explore how digestion, hormones, and even your pre-meal rituals can play a bigger role than discipline alone.

We’ll cover:
 ✅ Why fullness feels different for different people and how that shapes eating habits
 ✅ How conditions like hypermobility, celiac disease, and stress influence weight loss struggles
 ✅ Simple shifts before, during, and after meals that can improve digestion and reduce overwhelm

Whether you’re a movement professional, someone supporting clients, or just tired of chasing the same weight loss advice that never seems to stick, this episode will challenge the idea that it’s all about calories and willpower and help you ask better questions that actually move you forward.

What does it really take to find your people, and your passion, in a field that often feels isolating?

In this episode of Three Questions, I sit down with my friend and colleague, Stephanie Comella, who has been working with spinal cord injury and neuro populations since 2011. From building an online practice that actually works, to writing a book with a former client, to figuring out how to create community in a profession that doesn’t always make that easy, Steph has a lot to share about both the challenges and the rewards of doing this work.

We dig into:
✅ How teaching over Zoom sharpened her language and teaching skills
✅ Why creating a “tribe” matters for both clients and clinicians
✅ The surprising lessons she’s learned from gardening and how they apply to rehab

Whether you’re a movement teacher, a neuro specialist, or just someone trying to do meaningful work without burning out, this conversation will help you think differently about connection, collaboration, and why finding your people changes everything.

When you think about strength, awareness, or even balance, do you ever think about your eyes?

In this episode of Three Questions, I explore how vision impacts movement, strength, and body awareness in ways most people never consider. From why closing one eye can change your balance to how a simple pencil can unlock pushups you thought were impossible, you’ll see just how much your visual system drives performance.

In the episode, you’ll hear:
 ✅ How your eyes act as one of your biggest sensory inputs for safety and movement
 ✅ Why your “dominant” eye might not actually be your most accurate eye
 ✅ A test to see if your vision is secretly holding back your strength

Whether you’re a movement professional, an athlete, or just someone who wants to feel more confident in your body, this episode will help you understand your eyes as a powerful driver of movement and show you why training your eyes could be the missing link in your progress.

Is a weighted vest the the missing ingredient to your health and fitness journey? Or just more hype?

In this episode of Three Questions, I dive into the three questions I wish more people would ask before strapping on a weighted vest. Instead of rehashing the same old “good or bad” debate, we’ll explore how goals, sensory input, and our craving for shortcuts all shape whether a weighted vest actually helps or just makes things harder.

In the episode you’ll hear:
✅ Why weighted vests don’t live up to the hype for bone density and weight loss
✅ How clothes, pressure, and even your bra straps reveal your sensory preferences
✅ The real question to ask yourself: is a vest supporting your goals, or just distracting you from the work that matters?

Whether you’re a clinician, a movement teacher, or just someone wondering if a vest could be your missing piece, this episode will help you think differently about when and why it makes sense to add extra load.

 ✅ What it means to define your own voice and brand as a teacher
 ✅ How aging, listening, and connecting with nature shaped Kelly’s unique perspective

Think balance is just about standing on one leg or wobbling on a BOSU ball? Think again.

In this episode of Three Questions, I unpack what balance really means beyond the wobble boards and “core work.” From head position to vision to the inner ear, your brain is constantly piecing together sensory information to keep you upright. And sometimes those systems argue more than they agree.

In the episode you’ll hear:
 ✅ Why your head position might be tricking your brain into thinking you’re “straight” when you’re not
✅ How to train your three balance systems so they stop fighting each other and start working together 
 ✅ Simple ways to challenge your balance in daily life without adding another workout to your plate

Whether you’re training clients, chasing athletic goals, or just hoping not to trip over your own feet, this episode will help you rethink balance as more than a skill. It’s a strategy your brain uses to feel safe, steady, and adaptable in every part of your life.

We’ll dig into:
 ✅ How your eyes, jaw, and even posture impact your ability to stay present
 ✅ Why some people need to move to focus and others need stillness
 ✅ How to identify your biggest focus disruptor (and what to do about it)

Are you actually rewiring your brain—or just repeating the same patterns with more reps?

In this episode of Three Questions, I share the three questions I wish more people would ask before trying to retrain their brain. We’ll unpack what neuroplasticity really requires (hint: it’s not just doing the same thing over and over), why some days you’re better off reinforcing what you can do, and how your sensory system holds the key to unlocking meaningful change.

I break down:
 ✅ Why “just doing more reps” doesn’t guarantee neuroplasticity
 ✅ How to tell if you’re in a “go” state or a “flow” state (and why you need both)
 ✅ How sensory input, not sets and reps, might be the real driver of progress

Whether you're a movement professional, a neuro-nerd, or just someone trying to move through life with less pain and more agency, this episode will help you rethink how you measure progress so you can train your brain as intentionally as you train your body.
