The Gap and The Gain: You're Further Along Than You Think

Beskrivelse

In this episode, Lauren and Amanda dive into one of the most perspective-shifting books in Lauren's library — The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy — and break down why so many high-achieving women are stuck feeling like they're never enough, never far enough along, and never quite hitting the mark. The truth? You're measuring yourself wrong. And it's costing you more than you realize. Lauren brought this book to Amanda because it moved her enough to go live on Instagram about it — and once you hear the core concept, you'll understand why. This is the conversation for every woman who finishes a hard week of training, a strong month of eating well, or a season of showing up — and still feels like she fell short. This episode will change the way you measure your progress. For good. 🔑 What We Cover * What "the Gap" is — and why living there keeps you stuck no matter how hard you work * What "the Gain" is — and why it's actually the more accurate picture of your progress * Why women in particular are wired to live in the Gap (and how social media makes it worse) * The simple nightly practice that rewires how your brain experiences progress * How to catch yourself in the Gap and redirect — before it derails your motivation * Why comparing your chapter three to someone else's chapter twenty will always make you feel behind 💛 Loved This Episode?

Return to Form: Pilates, Pelvic Health, and Rebuilding Trust With Your Body

What does it actually mean to feel at home in your body — and what does it take to get back there? Whether you've been through an injury, a health event, a pregnancy, a life transition, or just a long season of putting yourself last — there's a very real experience of looking in the mirror and not quite recognizing yourself. Today's guest has built her entire practice around that moment. Rachel Robertson is a kinesiologist, Pilates instructor, and founder of Return to Form. She competed at the World Kettlebell Lifting Championships representing Team Canada, and she works at the intersection of physio and real life — helping people rebuild trust with their bodies in a way that actually sticks. This conversation went deep fast, and both of us left it thinking differently about our own bodies. Whether you're an endurance athlete navigating injury, a woman in the thick of perimenopause, or just someone who's felt a little lost in themselves lately — this one is for you. 🔑 What We Cover * What kinesiology actually is — and how Rachel applies it alongside Pilates in her practice * How Rachel's own injuries (yes, plural — including being hit by two separate motor vehicles) shaped her empathy and approach as a practitioner * The origin story behind the name "Return to Form" — and why it's about bringing people back to themselves * Classical vs. contemporary vs. creative Pilates — and why the foundations always matter * How trauma and life history show up in the body through posture, pain, and movement patterns * Pelvic floor health for every woman — why it matters whether you've had a baby or not, and what perimenopause does to those tissues * The blueberry cue (yes, really) — and why cueing is everything in movement re-education * What nervous system regulation has to do with choosing Pilates over strength training * The first thing Rachel does with a new client — and why goals don't always match what the body actually needs * Why movement creates confidence — not the other way around * What she'd tell herself when she opened her studio: "It's going to happen" 💛 Loved This Episode?
