The Movement Episode

Sometimes the hardest part of movement is simply starting, and this week we’re getting into the obsession in all its forms 🏃‍♀️💪🧘‍♀️🚲 In this episode, Lavinia and Chanelle are joined by their gorgeous friend Mel for a real, energizing conversation about moving our bodies, not for perfection, but for strength, structure, healing, confidence, and joy. From running through grief and heartbreak, to strength training as a mental reset, to Pilates as a lifeline, we unpack how movement becomes so much more than exercise. It becomes self-trust. Community. A way back to yourself. Expect laughs, honest shares, and the kind of best-friend encouragement that makes you want to put your workout clothes on… even if you don’t feel like it yet. In this episode, we cover: Finding your movement obsession (and why it doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s) Mel’s running journey and how it helped her through loss, grief, and reinvention How Lavinia became her own coach, using strength training as discipline, empowerment, and a way to rebuild confidence Chanelle’s Pilates obsession and why classes + structure keep her consistent The “future self” mindset: why you never regret moving your body Motivation vs. grace: when to push, when to rest, and how to avoid injury Trying things again as you grow, even if you “hated it” the first time If movement has ever felt like a chore, a source of pressure, or something you “should” do then this episode is your reminder that it can also be a release… and you’re allowed to find what feels good for you. Thank you for listening 💛
