The Mindful Strength Podcast has transformed from a DIY project made completely at my kitchen table, to a fully produced show where I talk to different professionals in the yoga, movement, rehab and body positivity worlds. As a young person my biggest fear was public speaking or performing, I would forget my gymnastics routines in the middle of the competitions and freeze.
In the fall of 2017 I decided to face my fears, put my expanding contact list to use, and started talking to people I knew about yoga and strength training. After a number of very awkward interviews, fiddling with dials and hoping not to say something weird or sneeze I started to really enjoy the making of the podcast, and as my confidence grew so did my voice. It dawned on me that I wasn’t only interested in talking about movements and exercises, and the podcast expanded into new topics once again. I realized that I wanted to talk to people about our ideas around exercise and movement, the ways in which body image and diet culture rule our lives, how trauma impacts the body, how tissue adaptation is so interesting, how foot health is essential, and how strength training and movement affect us on so many levels that we hardly understand.
This podcast keeps me inspired and teaches me something new literally each week. I hope that you will listen, learn and grow with not only me, but the thousands of monthly listeners from all over the world.
