Description

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 💛
