    AG 2025 Welcome to Anatomical Gangster - with Sue Hitzmann

    Welcome to Anatomical Gangster, Season One. I’m your host, Sue Hitzmann—and this podcast is my love letter to the body, to consciousness, and to the connective tissue that holds it all together. For most of my life, I’ve been asking the big questions: Why are we here? What is life made of? How do we experience meaning, connection, and healing—not just in our minds, but in our bodies? To explore these questions, I’ve turned to science, spirituality, movement, and the mysterious matrix we call fascia. This podcast is for the seekers, the disruptors, the ones who break things down to understand the whole. “Anatomical” means to cut up, to examine the parts. “Gangster” is a nod to those who go against the grain—not to destroy, but to awaken. Together, they form a lens through which we can explore the body, the self, and the universe. In Season One, I sit down with 11 of the most influential living thinkers who’ve shaped my understanding of fascia, consciousness, and the human experience. These are raw, real conversations about life, loss, purpose, and the connective system that links us all. 🎧 Tune in to hear how the death of my husband, the isolation of the pandemic, and the wisdom of my teachers gave birth to this podcast—and why I believe fascia is more than tissue. It’s a metaphor. A mirror. A medium for awakening. #AnatomicalGangster #SueHitzmann #FasciaAndConsciousness #MELTMethod #ConnectiveTissue #PodcastLaunch #EmbodiedWisdom #SpiritualAnatomy #WellnessPhilosophy #SeasonOne
