    #36. End of Year Compilation Episode

    In this special year-end compilation episode of ‘Make Movement Matter’, we celebrate the transformative power of movement with highlights from some inspiring conversations earlier this year. From the science of why our brains are wired to move, to the emotional healing found in nature and community, this episode shows the profound ways movement can uplift our bodies, minds, and spirits. Whether it’s discovering the joy of cold-water swimming, finding peace through paddleboarding, or making small everyday adjustments that spark joy, these clips remind us that movement is so much more than fitness—it’s a gift we give ourselves for better health, happiness, and connection. Featuring wisdom from Caroline Williams, Charlotte Marriott, Sian Richardson, Katie Maggs, and Jo Moseley, this episode is an invitation to reflect on how movement has shaped your life and to step into the new year with purpose and joy. Each story serves as a powerful reminder that movement is accessible to everyone, whether it’s a simple walk or a bigger personal journey.  Let’s continue to embrace movement together and make it matter in our lives and communities.Wishing you lots of happy times moving over the festive break, thanks for listening and and I can’t wait to share more great conversations in 2025!

    #35. Rewriting the narrative of ageing: Recognising the power of midlife and beyond with Sophia Raday

    Are you ready to embrace your power and thrive in midlife?  In this inspiring episode, I chat with Sophia Raday, creator of "SheFlexx", about how women over 50 can challenge stereotypes of ageing. Sophia passionately advocates for rejecting the narrative that ageing equals decline, and instead shows how it can be a time of reinvention, strength, and endless potential.  She dives into how embracing movement—whether through dance, fitness, or simply celebrating your body’s capabilities—can unlock a whole new level of vitality and confidence. Sophia’s mission is all about empowering women to step into their full power and embrace midlife with confidence and joy. She shares how she’s personally challenged the stereotypes of ageing, and offers tips for embracing movement as a tool for feeling stronger, more agile, and more alive.  If you’ve ever felt dismissed because of your age or wondered if it’s too late to get in the best shape of your life, this episode is for you.

    Are you suffering from desk-related pain, but can’t escape your screen for long periods?  If sitting at a desk feels like a constant struggle, it might be time to reassess your workspace. In this episode, I chat with Alison Thomson, aka 'The Safety Elf,' a workplace posture expert who helps individuals and businesses optimise their desk setups for comfort and productivity.  We dive into practical tips that go beyond the usual advice of just "sit up straight"—because we all know it's not that simple!  Alison shares actionable strategies for creating an ergonomic environment, whether you’re working in an office or from home. We talk about everything from adjusting your chair and desk height to adding movement breaks and simple posture tweaks.  If you're tired of the aches and pains that come from sitting too long, Alison’s down-to-earth guidance will empower you to make small, but powerful changes that will make a big difference.  Tune in for a fun and informative conversation that could change the way you work—and leave you smiling, as it did me, with my favourite guest sign-off ever!

    #33. Rewiring movement patterns: how simple sensory input shapes neuroplasticity

    It’s fascinating to discover the role some of our senses have in transforming the way we move.  In the latest episode of the Make Movement Matter podcast, I talk with Amanda Kemp, a pilates teacher with a deep understanding of how 3 of our senses can materially affect our movement patterns and therefore our practical abilities.  Amanda shares her journey of studying these sensory connections to help her clients move with more confidence and less pain. We dive into the concept of neuroplasticity in reshaping movement, real-life success stories and practical tools you can use to approach movement with more awareness and intentionality. Whether you're navigating physical limitations, looking to improve your balance, or just curious about ways to improve your own movement, this conversation is full of insightful takeaways.  We discuss the importance of holistic movement practices, why relying on proprioception alone might not be enough, and how visual and vestibular cues can enhance your daily activities like walking.  Listen to learn how understanding your senses can empower you to move better and live better!

    Get ready to get down! 🌟🧘‍♀️ In this solo episode of the Make Movement Matter podcast, I’m going to do my best to convince you about the benefits of creating a new daily habit and how easily you can incorporate it.

We can suddenly, unexpectedly find it a lot harder so creating a daily habit now, will serve you well into the future.  And, it’s also about so much more than floor time; it's about unlocking a treasure trove of benefits, including boosting your mobility, strength, and overall confidence in movement. All things we want to have, both now and in the future.  Join me as I explain why ground time should be your new best friend and share tips on how to weave it into your daily routine in enjoyable ways.

    #30. Replacing metrics with the ‘Power’ of bananas for true self-care with Elaine Hart & Becky Yeoman

    Who knew the power a mere banana could have on your wellbeing! However this is not a discussion about nutrition. Instead, it’s about encouraging us to see past the ‘movement metrics’ we can so easily get caught up in, and helping us look inward to notice how moving, and particularly moving together, makes us feel in our bodies and minds and therefore benefits our lives.  Elaine Hart is the self-named ‘Chief Banana Officer’ of ‘Power’ - an experience she set up in order to share her love of spinning, but that grew to include running, walking and now the wonderful system of Tai Chi, taught by the ‘Banana Master of Yin’, Becky Yeoman. In this conversation we talk about how Power came about, why they chose to use bananas as a tool to help people nourish themselves through movement and community, and the brilliantly inclusive experiences they’ve created.  You’re sure to see bananas in a different light from this day forward!

    #29. Qigong: Balancing energy & calm to build resilience with Annabel Deans

    Many movement systems which were practised many centuries ago are still used today. To stand the test of time, they must be beneficial. One that caught my eye a few years ago, when I was looking at ways to move that would nourish my body, rather than tax it and put stress on it, was Qigong. Annabel Deans was looking for the same reasons during lockdown and now loves teaching this incredible system.  In this episode, Annabel tells us all about this transformative practice, its roots in ancient Chinese medicine and how it integrates mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation. She passionately describes how it not only enhances physical well-being but also offers deep emotional release.  If you’ve heard of Qigong, but wondered what it was all about, what you do during a session and whether it would be beneficial for you, Annabel answers all of these questions and more.
