Three Questions with Meghann Koppele Duffy

Three Questions invites you, the listener, to think beyond the expected, while having a great time doing it. Each episode explores a single topic where Meghann shares research, insights from her 24 years experience, and some great stories. But rather than telling you what to think, she'll ask three thought-provoking questions that spark curiosity, challenge assumptions, and help you come to your own conclusions.Whether you’re a movement pro, partner, parent, spouse, friend, or child, this podcast is for YOU. Each episode is around 30 minutes to tackle Three Questions with three big goals in mind:1️⃣ Foster Curiosity and critical thinking: Because a little curiosity might just save the movement industry… and maybe the world. 2️⃣ Share What Works: Share techniques, observations, and research that Meghann believes in wholeheartedly. 3️⃣ Have Fun: Life’s hard enough. Let’s laugh and keep it real along

    Episode 58 - To Correct or Not to Correct… Let’s Explore the Question

    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 change• How autonomy, competence, and relatedness shape real learning• Why building awareness beats fixing movement every timeThis episode is part movement science, part communication strategy, and part reality check for how we help people change.  So if you’re coaching, teaching, or just trying to communicate better, this episode will give you a more thoughtful and effective way to guide change.Links & Resources For This Episode:Find a Neuro Studio Teacher Near YouConnect with me on InstagramConnect with me on Threads

    Episode 57 - The Core Question: Research, Breathing, Bracing, and What We Might Be Missing

    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 sensory input might be more powerful than motor inputs, and why what works in the studio doesn’t always transfer to real life. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about being “right…” It’s about being effective.In This Episode You’ll Hear: • Why “cueing the core” might be solving the wrong problem • How sensory input (not just muscle cues) drives better movement outcomes • Why research should guide your thinking, not replace itSo before you cue the core one more time, take a second to ask yourself what you actually mean and what you’re hoping it’s going to do.Links & Resources For This Episode:Episode 54 - Assessments That Support, Not Stress — Three Guiding QuestionsFind a Neuro Studio Teacher Near YouConnect with me on InstagramConnect with me on Threads

    Episode 54 - Assessments That Support, Not Stress — Three Guiding Questions

    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 assessments as a way to guide direction, not prove answers, and why the best assessments don’t simplify the body, they help you ask better questions about it.In This Episode You’ll Hear:• The key difference between observing something and actually testing it• How to create assessments that guide decisions instead of guessing outcomes• Why isolating variables (not adding more cues) leads to better resultsThe more intentional you are with what you’re assessing and why, the less guesswork you’ll need and the more confident your next step becomes.Links & Resources For This Episode:Find a Neuro Studio Teacher Near YouConnect with me on InstagramConnect with me on Threads

    Episode 52 - How Grief Teaches and Changes Us

    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 how grief can reshape our relationships, priorities, and sense of purpose.

    Episode 51 - If Hindsight Is 20/20, What Is Your Peripheral Vision?

    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.

    Episode 50 - Motivation Part 2: Little Moments, Real Motivation with Nick Giangreco

    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.

    Episode 49 - Motivation Part 1: Three Questions That Shape Your Drive

    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 people feel capable and understand the “why,” motivation doesn’t need to be forced.In This Episode You’ll Hear:• Why valuing what you’re learning is the foundation of real drive• How perceived capability shapes risk-taking and resilience• Why feedback and clarity directly impact your expectancy of successWhether you teach, coach, rehab, lead, or are simply trying to understand your own drive, this episode will give you practical ways to shape motivation instead of chasing it.Links & Resources For This Episode:Episode 48 - The Hip Episode: Your Hips Don’t Lie (But They Do Compensate)Find a Neuro Studio Teacher Near YouConnect with me on InstagramConnect with me on Threads

    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’re still moving. The real question isn’t “is your hip tight?” It’s: can your brain differentiate your hip from everything around it?In This Episode You’ll Hear:• A simple way to test if your hip is really moving or just borrowing motion from somewhere else• Why knee, back, and foot pain often start higher up the chain• What urination, pelvic floor tension, and orgasm have to do with hip mobilityWhether you teach movement, rehab injuries, or just want your body to respond instead of react, this episode invites you to check your work and maybe stop blaming your hips for everything.Links & Resources For This Episode:Episode 46: The Shoulder Episode: Exploring the Truth About How You Move This Complex Joint SystemFind a Neuro Studio Teacher Near YouConnect with me on InstagramConnect with me on Threads

    Episode 46 - The Shoulder Episode: Exploring the Truth About How You Move This Complex Joint System

    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 most shoulder pain sticks around when we focus on the wrong things.In This Episode You’ll Hear:Why the shoulder is a four-joint system—and which joints are often overlookedHow upper body instability can limit squats, lunges, and lower body strengthSimple ways to assess whether your spine is stabilizing or stealing motion from your shouldersThis episode is part anatomy, part nervous system reality check, and part invitation to stop micromanaging movement and start giving your brain better information.Whether you’re a movement professional, a Pilates teacher, or someone frustrated by lingering shoulder pain, this episode will help you rethink how the shoulder actually works and where meaningful change really starts.Links & Resources For This Episode:Episode 32: Unfreezing the Narrative: Rethinking Frozen ShoulderEpisode 45: The Neck Pain Episode: Let’s Talk About What You Might Be MissingFind a Neuro Studio Teacher Near YouConnect with me on InstagramConnect with me on Threads

    Episode 31 - Rethinking Injuries: A New Lens on Pain, Recovery, and Agency

    Pain isn’t weakness leaving the body… It’s information your brain is begging you to notice.In this episode of Three Questions with Meghann Koppele Duffy, I want to rethink the way we approach injuries.

    You know that moment when your client’s pain is gone, they’re finally moving better, or they’ve made that shift you’ve both been working toward—and you’re left thinking, “Now what?”In this episode of Three Questions, I’m sharing what I look for in that moment, and how I decide when it’s time to progress, when to pull back, and how to turn a breakthrough into something that actually sticks.I’ll walk you through: ✅ How I know when it’s time to progress (and what signs I’m watching for) ✅ What I do if a progress ion makes things worse (and how I learn from it) ✅ Why I don’t see regression as a setback, but as a tool for sustainable changeIf you’ve ever felt stuck after a client’s progress or worried you’ll lose the gains you worked so hard to create, this episode will give you practical ways to build on breakthroughs without burning yourself or your clients out.Resources mentioned:My WebsiteConnect with me on InstagramConnect with me on Threads

    What if your bunion isn’t the problem, but the solution your brain came up with?In this episode of Three Questions, I dig into the surprising ways your feet reflect (and influence) everything from hip mobility to spinal stability. Whether you’ve been told to blame your genetics, your shoes, or just “getting older,” I invite you to ask a different set of questions.I unpack how sensory input shapes foot function, why certain areas of your foot hurt more than others, and how small changes in awareness can create massive shifts in how you move.  You’ll hear practical ways to assess what your feet are doing when your hips move (and vice versa), why it’s worth challenging the usual narratives about shoes and genetics, and how being a “sneaky mover” could be the real root of recurring pain.If you’re a movement professional, a curious client, or someone who’s tired of foot pain dictating your workouts (and your shoe choices), this episode offers a fresh and functional perspective.Resources mentioned:My WebsiteConnect with me on InstagramConnect with me on Threads

    Episode 12 - Scoliosis, Stop Settling for OK!

    What if I told you that scoliosis isn’t just a spinal issue, but it’s also a sensory issue as well?In this episode of Three Questions, I unpack how even subtle spinal deviations can quietly disrupt balance, movement, and breath. Whether you’ve lived with scoliosis your whole life or are just beginning to understand its effects, this episode will provide you with a new lens: one that moves beyond “fixing” the spine and toward finding spinal slack, sensory integration, and functional freedom.I discuss why some exercises don’t translate to daily life, how your breath can reveal hidden tension, and why your head and eye position might be the key to unlocking better movement. I also share simple, powerful assessments you can try right now to understand your own body better, especially if you’ve ever felt like traditional approaches weren’t enough.If you’re a practitioner, a mover, or someone tired of being told to “just manage” your scoliosis, these three questions might help you stop settling for okay and start reclaiming your body.Resources mentioned:My WebsiteConnect with me on InstagramConnect with me on Threads

    Episode 11 - Pilates vs Weight Training

    What if building strength isn’t just about heavy weights or perfect form, but about how your body feels and responds to movement in the moment? In this episode of Three Questions with Meghann Koppele Duffy, I dig into a fitness debate I often hear: Pilates or weight training? But instead of offering a one-size-fits-all answer, I break down how goals, sensory preferences, and honest self-inquiry shape the way we build strength, resilience, and longevity.You’ll hear me talk about progressive overload (and how it’s often misunderstood), what the research really says about reps vs. load, and why the “right” workout depends less on dogma and more on how your brain and body feel safe enough to adapt.If you’ve ever felt pulled between the stability of Pilates and the intensity of lifting, or if you’re just tired of the binary thinking around movement, this episode is for you. Whether you're a clinician, an athlete, or just a curious mover, these three questions could reframe how you think about strength forever.Resources mentioned:Episode 2: Sensory Preferences and How They Dictate Who We Are!My WebsiteConnect with me on InstagramConnect with me on Threads

    What if recovery from stroke isn’t just about reps and protocols, but the questions we ask along the way? In this episode, I unpack three simple but transformative questions that can shift how we approach stroke rehab—for clinicians, caregivers, and survivors alike. This isn’t about chasing perfection or following a rigid recovery plan. It’s about helping the brain feel safe enough to explore, adapt, and move again. From building trust in the therapeutic relationship to rethinking what counts as “success,” I dive deep into the human side of neuroplasticity. If you work in neuro rehab or are supporting someone through recovery, these questions might just change how you show up in the process.Resources mentioned:Episode 2: Sensory Preferences and How They Dictate Who We Are!My WebsiteConnect with me on InstagramConnect with me on Threads

In this episode of Three Questions with Meghann Koppele Duffy, I take a brutally honest look at why so many of us are still sleeping like crap, even when we’re doing all the “right” things. I discuss how sensory input, body awareness, and nervous system regulation shape the way we fall asleep, wake up, and move through the night. This episode isn’t about rigid routines, it’s about giving your brain and body the information they need to feel safe, adapt, and rest. Whether you’re a clinician, a high-performing athlete, or just a tired human trying to figure it out, these three questions could change the way you think about sleep forever.Resources mentioned:My WebsiteConnect with me on InstagramConnect with me on Threads
