Three Questions with Meghann Koppele Duffy

Meghann

Three Questions invites you, the listener, to think beyond the expected, while having a great time doing it. Each episode explores a single topic where Meghann shares research, insights from her 24 years experience, and some great stories. But rather than telling you what to think, she'll ask three thought-provoking questions that spark curiosity, challenge assumptions, and help you come to your own conclusions. Whether you’re a movement pro, partner, parent, spouse, friend, or child, this podcast is for YOU. Each episode is around 30 minutes to tackle Three Questions with three big goals in mind: 1️⃣ Foster Curiosity and critical thinking: Because a little curiosity might just save the movement industry… and maybe the world.  2️⃣ Share What Works: Share techniques, observations, and research that Meghann believes in wholeheartedly.  3️⃣ Have Fun: Life’s hard enough. Let’s laugh and keep it real along the way.

    Episode 80 - What's the Best Workout for You?

    In this episode of Three Questions, I challenge the idea that there's one "best" way to exercise. Because while the fitness world loves to argue about which method gets the best results, there's something far more important to consider: how your individual brain and body respond to movement. In This Episode You'll Hear: How your learning preferences can shape the type of exercise you actually stick withHow sensory feedback and your body's response to load can influence the way you trainWhy everyday activities, rotation, and movement variety deserve a place in your fitness routineYou don't need to find the perfect workout or commit to one method forever. Instead, get curious about what works for you, challenge your body in different ways, and remember that movement is something to enjoy, not a punishment.

    Episode 79 - What Nobody Tells You About Your Toughest Clients

    We all have that client. The one where everything that usually works… doesn’t. In this episode of Three Questions, I’m talking about what to do when a client leaves you questioning your skills, second-guessing your approach, and wondering what the heck you’re missing.  Instead of trying harder, adding another cue, or assuming you can do what the last practitioner couldn’t, I want you to step back and look at the whole person. In This Episode You'll Hear: Why starting with what your client can do may tell you more than focusing on what hurtsHow to identify the specific gaps in your own knowledge instead of taking another course on something you already knowWhy your hardest sessions can teach you more than your best onesYour toughest clients will challenge what you know, what you notice, and sometimes your confidence as a teacher. But they might also be the clients who make you better at what you do if you’re willing to pay attention to what they’re teaching you.

    Episode 78 - Rethinking Dance Education with Charlene and Lily of Movement Arts

    In this episode of Three Questions, I sit down with Charlene Gibbons and Lily McEvenue of Movement Arts to talk about what happens when we bring a nervous system approach into dance education. We explore why traditional cues can work beautifully for one dancer and completely miss another, how sensory input can change movement without adding more corrections, and why better teaching may start with getting curious about what the student’s brain actually needs. In This Episode You'll Hear: Why repeating a correction differently isn’t always the answerHow sensory strategies can help dancers access skills with less force and frustrationWhy bringing neuroscience into dance doesn’t mean throwing out traditional techniqueGreat dance teachers already know what they want to see. Sometimes the missing piece is understanding what a dancer’s brain and body need to actually get there. More About Charlene Gibbons Charlene is a retired professional dancer who now works with clients of all ages and abilities, from active aging and injury recovery to neurological conditions and dance. After her own journey back to dancing, she’s especially passionate about helping dancers and teachers reconnect with their bodies, rebuild confidence, and rediscover the joy in movement. More About Lily McEvenue Lily is a professional dancer and educator working at the intersection of neuroscience, rehabilitation, and dance training. Her own return to dance after becoming a mother deepened her interest in nervous system-based approaches, and she now works with dancers and educators around injury recovery, performance, and pre/postnatal support.

    Episode 77 - To Stretch or Not to Stretch

    The Advanced Neuro Techniques course with me, starts on 10/3! - Sign Up For Advanced Neuro Techniques HERE To stretch or not to stretch? That is the question… honestly, it’s the wrong question. In this episode of Three Questions, I dig into the surprisingly messy research around stretching and flexibility and why your own response to stretching deserves a seat at the table. I unpack what might actually be going on with those always “tight” hamstrings and how to better understand what your nervous system is trying to tell you. In This Episode You'll Hear: Why increased flexibility may have more to do with sensation and stretch tolerance than permanently lengthening tissueWhat feeling a stretch can tell you about your nervous system and sensory preferencesHow to approach a chronically tight area without just stretching it harderWhether you love stretching, hate it, or keep doing it because someone told you that you “should,” this episode will give you a different way to think about what happens when you reach your end range and what your body might need next.

    Episode 76 - The Sense That Will Change How You Move and Exercise

    In this episode of Three Questions, I dive into proprioception: your sense of knowing where your body is in space without having to look. We tend to focus on motor control, strength, alignment, and what movement looks like from the outside. But the movement your brain creates depends on the sensory information it gets first. And sometimes, that information isn't as accurate as we think. In This Episode You'll Hear: How vision, touch, pressure, and other feedback can help fill proprioceptive gapsWhy more cueing, strengthening, or correcting may not solve a sensory problemHow to ask better questions about what you or your clients actually feel while movingWe spend a lot of time trying to change movement from the outside. This episode is your invitation to get curious about the sensory information your brain is using to create that movement in the first place.

    Episode 75 - What Nobody Tells You About How You Walk, or How to Fix It

    Why you walking that way?!? In this episode of Three Questions, I unpack why gait is a lot more complicated than correcting a compensation pattern. Your brain is constantly using information from your joints, eyes, inner ear, and the rest of your sensory system to figure out the safest and most efficient way to move forward. And those weird little compensations? They might actually be your brain doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. In This Episode You'll Hear: Why compensations can be intelligent solutions rather than movement mistakesHow connecting your trunk and pelvis can change the way you walkWhy unilateral training may matter more for gait than trying to make both sides symmetricalHopefully this episode has you getting curious about why you’re walking that way in the first place because your brain probably has a reason.

    Episode 74 - You Asked, I'm Answering: Focus, Jealousy, and Who You Can Trust

    Donate to the non-profit, Circle of Friends Cafe, who employs adults 18 & older with intellectual and developmental disabilities at this link HERE! How do you know when to trust your brain, when to check your ego, and when someone’s advice is actually worth taking? In this episode of Three Questions, I’m flipping the script and answering three of the questions you asked me.  You’ll hear me talk about why traditional organization systems have never worked for my brain, what I do when someone on social media gets under my skin, and how I decide whose advice is actually worth listening to. In This Episode You'll Hear: Why I prioritize what my business needs instead of what I want to doHow I use jealousy and irritation as opportunities for self-reflection instead of comparisonWhy the best advice usually comes from people who have actually done what you’re trying to doThere’s a common thread underneath all three of these questions: paying attention. To how your brain works. To why something triggers you. And to whether the person giving you advice has actually earned your trust.

    Episode 73 - Who's Afraid of a Little Old Niche?

    Are you afraid to niche down because you think you’ll lose all the people you could help? In this episode of Three Questions, I’m making the case for getting way more specific about who you want to work with. Because your niche isn’t a lifetime commitment, and it doesn’t mean you suddenly can’t help anyone outside of it. It gives you someone to talk to, problems to get really freaking good at solving, and a clearer path for building a business people actually understand. In This Episode You'll Hear: How to identify the people you genuinely want to work with, not the ones you think you should chooseWhy fear of losing potential clients keeps so many businesses stuck talking to everyoneWhere to actually start once you’ve chosen a niche (hint: it’s not creating a course)If you’re great at what you do but struggling to explain who it’s for, this episode will help you simplify your message, understand your customer, and get specific enough for the right people to start paying attention.
