Three Questions with Meghann Koppele Duffy

In this episode of Three Questions, I challenge the way we think about continuing education, for both students and teachers. We often chase certifications, collect information, or search for evidence that confirms what we already believe. But real learning is much messier than that. It requires curiosity, discomfort, and the willingness to be wrong. I'll share how I've completely changed...

In this episode of Three Questions, I take a brain-based look at joint replacement and challenge some of the assumptions we make about pain, recovery, and movement. Surgery can be life-changing, but it doesn’t automatically reset the brain’s maps, compensation strategies, or sensory systems. In This Episode You'll Hear: How proprioception and brain mapping influence recovery outcomes What res...

In this episode of Three Questions, I sit down with my good friend and longtime business partner, Mariska Breland, for a conversation about resilience, chronic illness, creativity, partnership, and what it really means to build a life around what matters most. Mariska shares lessons from living with MS, navigating breast cancer, moving across the world to Malta, and building multiple successful bu...

In this episode of Three Questions, I dive into the research, myths, and missing questions surrounding SI joint dysfunction.  I chat about why treating the SI joint in isolation often leads to frustration, and how sensory feedback, brain mapping, and movement patterns may be playing a much bigger role than you think. I also share my own experience with SI joint pain, challenge some common assumpti...

Are you actually regulating your nervous system… or just giving it more things to do? In this episode of Three Questions, I explore the growing world of neuro wellness tools, from cold plunges and red light therapy to breathwork and vagus nerve stimulation.  But instead of asking whether these tools “work,” I challenge us to ask a deeper question: are they helping us support the real problem, or d...

Do you really need to have your entire future figured out? In this episode of Three Questions, I unpack one of the most stressful questions we’re asked throughout our lives and why most people are approaching it backwards. Whether you’re choosing a major, considering a career change, or going back to school, I share the three questions that have shaped my own unconventional career path. In This Ep...

Are you just asking questions hoping someone confirms what you already believe? In this episode of Three Questions, I unpack the art of asking better questions and why it matters in teaching, relationships, learning, and even personal growth. I share stories from my courses, my interviews, my marriage, and even working for my dad to explore how communication breaks down and what we can do differen...

In this episode of Three Questions, I sit down with someone who has shaped so much of how I think about family, work, relationships, and life: my dad. This conversation is part storytelling, part reflection, and part reminder that the people closest to us often hold the lessons we need most. We talk about family dynamics, leadership, marriage, taking risks, building a career around what you love,...

In this episode of Three Questions, I sit down with my mom for a conversation about motherhood, marriage, identity, family, and the stories we carry from generation to generation. We talk about the invisible labor of being a mother, the pressure women feel to “do it all,” family dynamics, and why confidence sometimes looks very different on the inside than it does on the outside. In This Episode Y...

In this episode of Three Questions, I unpack one of the most commonly misunderstood topics in movement and teaching: correction. Correction isn’t just about pointing out what’s wrong… it’s about understanding the person in front of you, clarifying your intention, and helping the brain learn, not just comply. In This Episode You’ll Hear: • Why correction without context often creates confusion, not...

In this episode of Three Questions, I break down one of the most debated topics in movement right now: core activation, bracing, and breathing.  Instead of choosing sides, I walk you through how to think critically about the studies, question your own cues, and focus on what actually matters: your client’s outcome. We’ll explore why defining your intention matters more than the cue itself, how sen...

In this episode of Three Questions, I break down why what’s happening in your face is often a reflection of something deeper. From tongue position to head awareness to your sensory systems, we explore how your jaw is constantly responding to the information your brain is (or isn’t) receiving. Because your jaw doesn’t work in isolation and neither does your pain. In This Episode You’ll Hear: • Why...

In this episode of Three Questions, I sit down with registered dietitian and CEO of Culina Health, Vanessa Rissetto, who also happens to be a good friend of mine, to explore what it really looks like to build something meaningful. We talk about reinvention, navigating business and identity, and why real nutrition care has to be both honest and accessible. Vanessa shares her journey from studying h...

Are you assessing your clients or just reacting to what you see? In this episode of Three Questions, I unpack the difference between observing and actually assessing and why that distinction might be the missing link in your results. Because noticing something isn’t the same as understanding it, and when we skip that step, we often end up chasing the wrong problem. I share how I think about assess...

In this episode of Three Questions, I break down why communication often fails, even when your intentions are good and your knowledge is solid. Using real life examples (including one with my dad), I show how small changes in language, timing, and listening can turn resistance into understanding. You’ll also hear why communication is less about delivering information and more about creating meanin...

In this episode of Three Questions, I explore grief through the questions that have helped me make sense of loss over time. This conversation isn’t about having the right answers… It’s about giving yourself permission to feel, reflect, and understand how grief evolves rather than disappears. We’ll talk about honoring the people we’ve lost, the beautiful and uncomfortable shifts that follow, and ho...

In this episode of Three Questions, I unpack why the visual system, specifically your peripheral vision, plays such a powerful role in how we move, balance, and interpret the world around us. When your peripheral vision is limited, your brain may hold back movement. But when your visual field expands, your nervous system suddenly feels safer in its environment. I share practical examples from move...

Is motivation something you force… or something that grows when you see what’s possible? In this episode of Three Questions, I sit down with my longtime client and friend, Nick Giangreco. After a life-altering stroke as a teenager, Nick didn’t choose the easy route. But what’s fascinating isn’t just what he’s achieved. It’s how he thinks. We unpack how stubbornness can become fuel, why pivoting is...

Do you lack motivation… or are you missing one of the key ingredients? In this episode of Three Questions, I explore why motivation isn’t created by a locker room speech or a burst of inspiration and what actually shapes it instead. I share stories from teaching, clinical work, and my own doctorate program to show how clarity, feedback, and connection to purpose change everything. Because when peo...

Can you actually move your hip… without your spine, pelvis, or foot jumping in to help? In this episode of Three Questions, I break down why the hip, our second most mobile joint, often gets blamed for problems it didn’t create. I walk you through how the hip interacts with the foot, pelvis, spine, and even your pelvic floor, and why compensation patterns aren’t the enemy… they’re the reason you’r...

In this episode of Three Questions , I sit down with Dr. Shanté Cofield, better known as The Movement Maestro, to talk about reinvention, self-trust, and what it really means to own your voice in a rapidly changing world. From leaving traditional career paths to navigating AI with curiosity instead of fear, this conversation is about knowing when to stay, when to shift, and how to keep showing up...

Most shoulder issues aren’t about strength or flexibility… they’re about organization. In this episode of Three Questions, I dig into the shoulder as the complex joint system it actually is, not just a ball-and-socket problem to stretch, strengthen, or “fix.” We’ll explore why the shoulder is really four joints working together, how your spine and lower body influence shoulder mechanics, and why m...

Ever notice how your neck pain seems to show up out of nowhere? Or never where you expect it to? In this episode of Three Questions , I break down neck pain through a nervous system lens and invite you to stop treating the neck like an isolated problem.  Instead of chasing the one movement or posture that “caused” your pain, we explore how habits, sensory input, vision, load, and nearby joints all...

If I had to guess, you probably feel like you have no control over what is happening in the world right now… In this episode of Three Questions , I walk through three questions I keep coming back to when everything feels overwhelming, emotionally charged, and hard to hold. While this episode isn’t about having the “right” opinions or fixing global problems overnight, it is about learning how to re...

Your brand isn’t something you find… It’s something you reveal through how you show up. In this episode of Three Questions, I talk about branding, social media, and the messy middle of showing up as a real human online. We explore why there are no shortcuts to trust, how misunderstanding your value creates friction in your business, and why being yourself is the most sustainable branding strategy...
