    Episode 69: Are You Avoiding Exercise to Avoid Injury?

    What if the very thing you're doing to prevent an injury is actually holding you back? I recently had a conversation that made me think about how many of us approach exercise, especially when we've been injured before. We get busy. Life gets demanding. We worry about getting hurt again. So we stop moving. And when we're finally ready to get back to the gym, running, or our favourite workout, we expect our bodies to pick up exactly where we left off. But here's what I want you to consider: Movement isn't just something we prepare our bodies to do. Movement is one of the ways we prepare our bodies for life. In this solo episode of The Move With Ease Podcast, I'm exploring why avoiding exercise isn't necessarily the best way to prevent injury, and how we can shift from an all-or-nothing approach to one that builds strength, confidence, and long-term capacity. We'll talk about: Why previous injuries can change the way we think about movement. How our bodies adapt to what we consistently ask of them. Why returning to exercise after a break may require a different approach. The difference between resting, modifying, and avoiding. How to keep moving when life gets busy without pushing beyond your current capacity. Why injury prevention is about building capacity, not eliminating every possible risk. You can turn the volume down without turning the movement off. And sometimes, that's exactly what your body needs. If you've stopped running, lifting, or doing something you love because you're afraid of getting hurt again, I'd love to help you explore what's possible. Reach out to book a complimentary consultation, and let's talk about where you are, where you want to go, and what might be getting in the way. Because we're not just training for the gym. We're training for life. And if you need support, reach out. Even if it's just one conversation to help you get started in the right direction, it's worth it. Your body is worth it. You've only got one body. One life. And as always, I'm rooting for you to move with ease. 🔗Sign up for my FREE Guide, 3 Foundational Shifts To Trust Your Body Again => HERE

    Episode 68: What If Slowing Down Doesn't Mean Sitting Still? with Alana Winchester

    What if mindfulness doesn't always look like sitting quietly with your eyes closed? Sometimes it looks like picking up a camera and noticing what's right in front of you. In this episode of the Move With Ease Podcast, I'm joined by Alana, a local brand photographer, entrepreneur, and mom who discovered her love of photography while on maternity leave. As someone who naturally loves to keep busy, Alana found something unexpected in photographing her baby: a reason to slow down, pay attention, and become more present in the moment. We explore how creativity can become a mindfulness practice, how motherhood can open the door to unexpected passions, and why slowing down doesn't necessarily mean doing nothing. Because sometimes the things that help us reconnect with ourselves aren't traditional wellness practices. Sometimes they're simply the things that make us pause long enough to notice the beauty already around us. Follow Alana and explore her photography work.

And as always, I'm rooting for you to move with ease. 🌿 Website: tatiannagraham.com 📸 Instagram: @tatiannagrahaminc

    Episode 67: Why Is My Physiotherapist Telling Me to Slow Down?

    You book a physiotherapy appointment because your back hurts, your hips feel tight, or you want to get stronger and return to the activities you love. And one of the first things your physiotherapist asks you to do is… close your eyes and breathe. Wait, what? In this solo episode of the Move With Ease Podcast, I'm sharing why slowing down is often one of the first things I ask my clients to do — and why it can be such an important part of moving forward. So many of us have become experts at holding tension without even realizing it. We grip our bellies, brace our cores, clench our jaws, and anticipate pain before we've even moved. But how can we change a pattern we haven't learned to notice? In this episode, I explore: Why awareness comes before action, and softening before strengthening How our nervous system influences pain, movement, and confidence Why bracing isn't bad, but being unable to release it can become a problem What breath, pelvic floor awareness, and nervous system regulation have to do with intimacy and desire Lessons from speaking at Reclaiming Desire: Where Science Meets Sensuality A simple breath and body-awareness practice you can try today Here's what I want you to remember: I'm not slowing you down because I don't think you're capable of more. I'm slowing you down because I want you to have access to more. Because slowing down isn't the opposite of progress. Sometimes it's where progress begins. 🌿 Website: tatiannagraham.com 📸 Instagram: @tatiannagrahaminc 🫶🏼 Download Tatianna's Foundational Core Guide to dive deeper into your breath and deep set of muscles that relate directly to your stress and nervous system HERE.

    Episode 66: What If Healing Isn't About Doing More? with Dr. Marnie Laplante, ND

    Have you ever felt like you're doing all the things for your health, yet something still feels off? You're trying to eat well, move your body, manage stress, and take care of everyone around you. But what if healing isn't about adding one more thing to your already full plate? In this episode of the Move With Ease Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Marnie Laplante, ND naturopathic doctor, founder of Gather Wellness, and creator of Capacity Medicine. Marnie shares her personal journey into healing, including how a single comment from a teacher shaped her beliefs about what she was capable of, and how she eventually found her way back to the work she felt called to do. Together, we explore what it means to create the conditions for healing, rather than constantly pushing ourselves to do more. In this episode, we talk about: What Capacity Medicine is and why healing isn't one-size-fits-all How past experiences can shape the way we see ourselves The connection between our nervous system, emotions, and physical health Why normal test results don't always mean we feel well Learning to recognize your body's YES and NO signals Why rest, self-awareness, and listening are essential parts of preventative health One of my favourite reminders from this conversation is that the other side of strength is rest and listening. We don't have to wait until we're exhausted, overwhelmed, or in pain to start paying attention. Sometimes the most powerful first step is simply getting curious about what our body needs today. 🌿 Founder of Gather Wellness, Smiths Falls, Ontario 📸 Instagram: @marnielaplantend For more please visit:  www.gatherwellness.ca Learn more about Capacity Medicine and Marnie's upcoming 8 Weeks to Capacity program through her website.

    Episode 65: More Than Stretching; What Yoga Teaches Us About Being Present with Carole

    What if the biggest benefit of yoga isn't something you can measure? When Carole Merritt first tried yoga, she was a distance runner, a young mom, and someone who wasn't particularly interested in slowing down. She went for the stretching, reluctantly stayed for the stillness... and eventually discovered something much bigger. In this episode of the Move With Ease Podcast, Carole and I talk about the benefits of yoga that are much harder to put into words. Feeling grounded. Being present. Feeling comfortable in your own body. Learning how to pause without feeling like you should be somewhere else doing something more "productive." And perhaps most importantly, learning to take those skills off the mat and into your life. We talk about: • Carole's journey from running to yoga• Why slowing down can feel so uncomfortable at first• The pressure to make every moment "productive"• Learning to bring your attention back when your mind wanders• Yoga, mindfulness, nature, and community• Creating intentions that help you stay aligned with how you actually want to live Carole also shares the story behind Forest & Flow, the beautiful community she is helping create through yoga, nature, connection, and intentional experiences. Because yoga isn't really about becoming better at yoga. It's about practicing how to be more present for your actual life. Find Carole through Yoga For You At Home and follow Forest & Flow for upcoming classes, events, and community experiences in West Carleton.

    Episode 64: The Thing You Don’t Have Time For Might Be Exactly What You Need

    I haven't had a race on my calendar for a while. I'm still running, but without a training plan, a coach telling me what to do, or a finish line waiting for me. And recently, I found myself with something we don't always know what to do with: white space. There were a hundred things I could have filled it with. Emails. Content. Work. The never-ending to-do list. Instead, I went for an 80-minute run. And somewhere in those almost 15 kilometres, I remembered why running matters so much to me. It's not just exercise. It's one of the things that brings me back to myself. In this solo episode, I'm talking about running, nervous system capacity, listening when your body is asking for something, and why the things we remove first when life gets busy might actually be the very things giving us the capacity to handle our lives. Because maybe the question isn't: What helps me escape my life? Maybe it's: What helps me come back to myself so I have the capacity to live my life? Running is one of my anchors. Yours might be yoga, gardening, walking your dog, painting, cooking, dancing in your kitchen, or something completely different. So I'll leave you with this: What makes you feel strong? What makes you feel free? What makes you feel like yourself? And when life gets busy, are you protecting it? If there's something you've been wanting to return to but you're not sure what your body can handle or where to begin, this is the work I love doing. Reach out to book a consultation, and we'll start with where you are, where you want to go, and what's getting in the way. And as always, I'm rooting for you to move with ease.

    Episode 63: Stop Filling The Silence

    When was the last time you let things be quiet? No podcast. No music. No scrolling. No filling every empty moment with something to do, learn, consume, or accomplish. In this solo episode of the Move With Ease Podcast, I’m exploring something I’ve been noticing in my own life: how uncomfortable we’ve become with silence. We fill the drive.We fill the walk.We fill the space between appointments.Sometimes we even fill our rest. But what if some of the clarity we’re searching for can only show up when we stop adding more? Silence gives us space to notice. To hear our thoughts.To feel what’s happening in our bodies.To let ideas arrive instead of constantly chasing them.And sometimes, simply to be. This isn’t about never listening to another podcast or deleting every app from your phone. It’s an invitation to experiment with leaving a little more space unfilled. Go for the walk without your headphones. Drive without immediately turning something on. Sit for a few minutes without reaching for your phone. You might be surprised by what you hear when you finally give yourself enough quiet to listen. Awareness before action. Sometimes the next thing we need isn’t more information. It’s space. Thanks for being here, and as always, I am rooting for you to move with ease.

    Episode 62: When the Goal Doesn't Happen: Finding Joy in the Build with Deb

    What happens when you do everything right in training... and race day still doesn't give you the result you worked for? In this episode, I'm joined by marathoner, mom of three, and high school teacher Deb, just days after completing her fifth marathon at Georgina. Deb went into the race after one of her strongest training builds yet, with hopes of finally earning her Boston qualifying time. But when her body stopped responding the way it had in training, her goals had to change. We talk honestly about the disappointment that comes when the result doesn't match the work, while also making space to celebrate everything the build gave her. Because the build is a win, too. But my favourite part of Deb's story might be what happened when her time goals disappeared. Instead of walking away, she chose a different goal: “I can't reach my time goal, but I will reach my joy goal.” We also talk about her very long hair 😂 and the promise she made not to cut it until she gets to Boston, what she's learned from five marathons and a previous DNF, how she fits training around teaching and raising three kids, and why she intentionally teaches her students that failure is feedback, not something to erase. This conversation is about running, but it's really about something bigger: How do we keep believing in a dream when it's taking longer than we thought? How do we allow ourselves to be disappointed without letting one outcome define us? And how might the person we're becoming along the way be just as important as the finish line? As Deb says at the end of our conversation: “Your value as a person does not depend on the time on the clock.” Follow Deb on Instagram: @pinkrunner_
