#20 How To Be Brave
Listen to this episode
Summary
The Grit: living a story that isn't serving you. The Grace: being brave enough to change it. It starts with owning your story and it entails learning how to lead with your vulnerability rather than being ashamed of it. On Episode #20 of The Grit + Grace Podcast, "How To Be Brave", I get to speak to a real gem of a human. Alwynn Taylor, Pilates Instructor + Owner of Taylor'd Motion (Digital Studio) walks us through her non-linear life, meeting bodies where they are at, movement as therapy and a metaphor for life, the need for tension in all areas of our lives, and of course, imposter syndrome. What you'll learn during this podcast: - How to be brave enough to begin again, - the importance of community, - what the heck tensegrity means, and - that Alwynn makes me cry. PLEASE NOTE - I will also add that we touch on a topic that made us realize we need to have another important chat: systemic racism in Pilates as an industry and within studios and their hiring practices. We put a pin in this topic because we were / are both out of our depth without the input of voices from men and women of color. Alwynn and I are not letting this go but it is not our story to tell. We are going to come back to you with another episode when we have connected with the right people who will share their experiences on how this has impacted them as movement instructors. Importantly, they will share what we can do as a whole to be better, do better, act better, speak better.
