The Move With Ease Podcast

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....

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 wh...

What happens when you do the training, show up prepared, give everything you have... and race day still doesn't go the way you hoped? In this episode, I'm joined by my good friend Jeff, Maggie's husband, fresh off the Georgina Marathon. Jeff trained hard, hired a run coach, and went into race day with a goal. But on a brutally hot day, his quads seized around 29K, leaving more than 13K...

One of the most common questions I hear as a physiotherapist is: "How many treatments does my insurance cover?" After more than 15 years of practice, I've come to believe that it's the wrong first question. Not because insurance doesn't matter—it absolutely does. But because insurance is a funding source. It is not a treatment plan. In this episode, I share a pattern I've...

What if one of the most powerful things you could do for your health was also one of the simplest? Go outside. In this episode of the Move With Ease Podcast , I'm joined by Dr. Owen Wiseman , naturopathic doctor and a leader in the fields of nature, health, and technology. We explore the fascinating science behind how nature influences our stress response, cardiovascular health, mental wellbei...

What if listening to your body isn't something you have to learn... What if it's something you simply have to remember? In this solo episode of the Move With Ease Podcast, I share a simple moment from a family day at the fair that completely shifted my perspective on body awareness. When my seven-year-old decided not to go on a ride because his heart was beating too fast, I realized someth...

As parents, how do we know when our child needs a little encouragement to keep going... and when they're trying to tell us that something truly isn't right? Today's guest, Gosia, has had to navigate that question many times while raising a high-level young athlete. Her son's journey began in competitive gymnastics and eventually led him into elite diving, with some very big dreams for his future....

The Wasp Test: Is It True... or Is Your Brain Filling in the Blanks? It started with a peanut butter and jam English muffin. It was the first day of school, I was packing lunches, my husband was making eggs, and my seven-year-old son was happily eating one of his favourite breakfasts. Suddenly he yelled: "There's a wasp in the house!" He was shaking his head, completely convinced the...

We talk a lot about starting. Taking imperfect action. Doing the reps. Not waiting until we feel ready. But what happens when you're doing all of that... and nothing seems to be changing? You're showing up. You're doing the workouts. You're working on the relationship. You're building the business. You're recording the podcast. And there's no big breakthrough. No finish...

What happens when yoga moves beyond the studio and into nature, community, and connection? In this episode of the Move With Ease Podcast, I'm joined by three wonderful women — Carol Merritt, Renee Groulx, and Falen Reid — the yogis behind Forest and Flow Yoga Festival , happening this October in Ottawa's west end. Each of these women found yoga during a very different season of life. For Carol, it...

What if one small decision could quietly change the course of your life? My friendship with Maggie didn't begin through running. It started when she came to see me for physiotherapy after having her second baby. A few years later, stroller runs turned into training for a half marathon... and eventually, one big dream: qualifying for Boston. Somewhere along the way, Maggie's dream became ou...

Midlife can bring changes we weren't expecting. Changes in our bodies. Our energy. Our priorities. Our relationships. Even our sense of who we are. And yet, for something so many women experience, we still don't talk openly enough about what this chapter of life can actually feel like. In this episode of the Move With Ease Podcast, I'm joined by Raadhaa Singh, founder of The Radiance C...

We often think change starts with motivation . Or maybe discipline . We wait until we feel motivated enough, ready enough, or disciplined enough to finally start running, move our bodies, nourish ourselves differently, change careers, build the business, set the boundary, or make whatever change we've been thinking about. But what if we've gotten the order wrong? I don't think change s...

We often think the next level of life requires us to do more. Work harder. Learn more. Push through. Earn the next opportunity. But what if the real work isn't about doing more at all? What if it's about becoming someone who can hold more without burning out? In this week's conversation, I'm joined by Meghan Weir, business and nervous system strategist, former mental health and add...

Have you ever noticed how convincing that little voice in your head can be? "It's too hot." "I don't have enough time." "I'll start tomorrow." "I'm too tired." If you've ever struggled to stay consistent with movement, you're not alone. The truth is, those voices don't disappear—even after years of building healthy habits. The dif...

What if getting older isn't the problem... What if the story we've been told about aging is? For years, I was afraid of getting older...not because of wrinkles or gray hair, but because of what I believed getting older meant. Somewhere along the way, I had attached aging to limitation. I believed it meant slowing down, becoming less capable, and leaving parts of myself behind. In this solo...

What would you do if your future suddenly looked different than you imagined? In this inspiring conversation, I sit down with runner, traveler, and fundraiser Julie , whose love of running began with a simple promise to her mom to complete a 5K. What started as one race quickly turned into half marathons, marathons around the world, and a passion for challenging herself. Then everything changed. A...

What if the hardest thing you'll ever do... is stop trying to fix everyone else? In this deeply honest conversation, I'm joined by my friend and fellow Preventative Health Awareness Movement Ambassador (PHAMbassador), Jennifer McCutcheon; personal power, recovery, and trauma coach, founder of Enable No More, and someone whose own journey through addiction, trauma, and profound loss has tra...

Have you ever felt like your story wasn't "big enough" because you never hit rock bottom? After interviewing so many incredible guests on the Move With Ease Podcast, I noticed a common thread: almost everyone had a defining moment; a burnout, an identity transformation, an illness, a loss, or a major life event that changed everything. It left me wondering... What's my story? In...

When was the last time you simply paused? Not to scroll. Not to solve a problem. Not to check another box on your to-do list. Just...pause. In a world that celebrates constant productivity, slowing down can feel uncomfortable, even impossible. But what if the very thing you're avoiding is the thing your body has been asking for all along? In this solo episode, Tatianna explores why so many of...

What if one of the greatest gifts you could give your child wasn't another parenting strategy... ...but learning to regulate your own nervous system? In this heartfelt conversation, I'm joined by my longtime friend Dr. Cindy Hovington —neuroscientist, TEDx speaker, founder of Curious Neuron, and creator of the Reflective Parent framework. Cindy and I first met over 20 years ago while study...

Which Voice Are You Listening To? How to Know When to Trust Your Body and When to Keep Going Which voice are you listening to? Is it your body? Is it fear? Is it comfort? Or is it the future version of yourself quietly reminding you who you're becoming? This question came to me during a morning run when I almost stopped 20 minutes early. Nothing was wrong—I was simply close to home, and it wou...

What if fertility wasn't just about getting pregnant? What if it was one of the clearest windows into your overall health? In this episode of The Move With Ease Podcast , I sit down with Dr. Marina Straszak-Suri, Obstetrician-Gynecologist with more than 35 years of experience, to discuss fertility, women's health, longevity, and why taking ownership of your health matters long before you&#...

Most people think physiotherapy is about treating pain. Exercises. Stretches. Massage. Dry needling. Manual therapy. And while those tools can absolutely be helpful, what if healing isn't actually about finding the perfect exercise or treatment? What if the missing piece is learning how to listen? In this solo episode, Tatianna shares the evolution of her own philosophy as a physiotherapist, r...

What if your body has been speaking to you all along? And what if the symptoms you're experiencing aren't simply problems to fix, but messages asking to be heard? In this episode of The Move With Ease Podcast, I sit down with Patrick Loiselle, registered nurse, wellness educator, founder of IV Alchemy, and fellow preventative health advocate, for a deeply honest conversation about chronic...
