    #135 - How Linda (72) rehabbed injuries and feels 10 years younger

    In this episode, I’m joined by my amazing client Linda Heywood — a 72-year-old retired kindergarten teacher from Pennsylvania — who decided she wasn’t going to accept decline as inevitable. After years of creeping pain, injuries, and feeling like she was slowing down, Linda found our program and decided to give it a shot. What followed? A total shift in energy, strength, and mindset. She shares how she went from crutches and knee braces to walking hills, squatting for minutes at a time, playing with her grandkids, painting again without fatigue, and feeling more alive than she has in years. We talk about: The power of daily steps and sleep Why aging doesn’t have to mean decline Her experience overcoming skepticism around online coaching How foundational habits (like morning routines, journaling, and mobility work) helped her get her body and purpose back on track.

    #134 - How Theresa (61) rehabbed decades of chronic pain in 10 weeks

    A few months ago, Theresa was stuck in a cycle of pain and frustration. She’s a bodyworker, someone who helps others take care of their bodies—but she wasn’t able to take care of her own. For 20 years, she dealt with instability from a sacral ligament injury. She tried different trainers, but the one-size-fits-all approach left her injured and unable to do even basic activities like walking without pain. She was skeptical that anything would work. Then, she found my coaching program. Instead of jumping into another program that ignored her needs, Theresa took a different approach—one that focused on rebuilding her foundation first. Now, she no longer has to sit on the edge of her bed every morning, checking if her joints are in place before she stands up. She just gets up and goes. Instead of fearing a walk because of the pain that might follow, she can now go for an hour—something she never thought possible.
