Episode 113 - Why You Hold Stress In Your Upper Traps
“I hold stress in my upper traps” was one of my personality traits for a long time. While I’m not proud of that, it was my reality.

I share all of that and more in this episode.

In this episode, you’ll learn why this is a false dichotomy (oops, spoiler alert!), what most people typically need, and 3 questions to work through to determine what your body needs.

If you’ve been lifting for a while and wondering if you’re lifting heavy enough weights, this episode is for you.

Episode 108 - 7 Benefits Of CARs
In this episode, we are covering the benefits of a daily CARs routine. Routines get boring, and sometimes simple daily things can feel like they aren’t doing much or can have that much of an effect. This episode will remind you of the importance of CARs, diving deeper into some of the science of one of my favorite benefits: better body awareness.
