Show Notes

As we welcome a new year, you might find yourself doing an audit of the things you rocked in 2021, and the things you didn’t quite get to. Fitness is bound to fall somewhere on that list. Here today to chat all things movement and health is Taylor Walker Sinning, global fitness icon, certified personal trainer, holistic health coach and fitness model, who sees ‘fit’ as more than just fitness, but also being able to fit nutrition, self-care and wellness practices into the mom-wife-career equation in a realistic way. You’ll hear her thoughts on New Year’s resolutions and goals, what it was like for her to be a 9th Grade PE teacher, and why she believes educators hold so much power. We talk about living in the stream, and how putting off moving your energy leaves us pouring from an empty cup. Taylor reveals to us that she believes there is no single answer to movement during pregnancy and gets real honest about her relationship with fitness throughout her two pregnancies. We explore the power of movement to resolve pelvic floor issues post partum, and she reassures listeners with budget constraints that just a few sessions can make a huge difference, if you’re not able to invest in more. With plenty of wellness tips and helpful insights, today’s episode is well worth a listen. We hope you join us!
