Forging Fluidity: on navigating primal purpose008: Griffin and Savannah finally meet in Morocco! - approaching coaching as life-long students of a variety of disciplines to build a unique coaching practice & link mental health supportAlmost five years into a friendship forged across oceans, Griffin and Savannah finally met in person in Tangier, Morocco.
In Episode 8, we have physically united to record our first episode in the same room, and on the same microphone!
With a week and a half together in Morocco, we both got hit with some kind of virus or wind-swept sinus allergy - while feeling pressure to do all the things within the scope of the limited time we have together, it was an opportunity to listen to our bodies. There is often temptation to dive...2023-03-2339 minForging Fluidity: on navigating primal purpose007: Fed the F*ck Up - what unexpected opportunities do you make space for when you shift the gears of self worth from scarcity to expansive abundance?Today we’re ruminating on the unexpected possibilities that come to the surface when we’re so fed up with trying to maintain some amount of control in our lives, and instead throw our hands in the air with an exasperated declaration of “fuck it.”
As a tribute to taking this liberating stance, today’s episode is completely unedited and uncut - stumbling and fumbling our way against perfectionism.
We share some shifts of perspective from our lives, stepping out of a scarcity mindset and into a space of expansive abundance.

We peel back feelings of resistance behind a shared opportunity, as well as individual experiences within our separate lives.
In our follow-up conversation off script, we joked: "We are always elevating our lives with a commitment to do measurably hard things, and yet, here we are becoming paralyzed by a closet of clothes." These are the moments that humble us, infused with a playful willingness to laugh at seemingly s...2022-11-1646 minForging Fluidity: on navigating primal purpose005: Understanding functional movement as a pathway to freedom - What the modern fitness industry is getting wrong about functional fitnessToday we take a deep dive into functional fitness movement patterns, & why most training modalities today are approaching "functional training" from incorrect & sometimes dangerous angles.

How can we clear the excess static to create space of solitude in a way that is conducive to accelerated self awareness & growth?
It is not just about being alone, but being alone with intention.
It’s easy to be alone when distracted by external stimulation: stuck on netflix, scrolling through social media. Not only do those activities have an abundance of negative side effects, but they also tend to make us feel even mo...2022-08-2442 minForging Fluidity: on navigating primal purpose003: What if your naked body is the only medicine you need? - using nudity as a tool for self developmentWhat happens when you remove sexual contexts, cultural stigmas, & social judgments from nudity?
Today we talk about how to lean into the natural way of being a naked, primal human, diving beneath the surface of Savannah’s nude photography & self portraiture work.
When we consciously remove the layers of clothing from our body with intention, it allows us to begin a process to remove emotional layers from the mind. By creating self awareness around our body image & shifting the way we relate to ourselves, we open a path of potential for elevated emotional, mental, & physical we...2022-08-1533 minForging Fluidity: on navigating primal purpose002: Creating Harmony Between the Masculine & Feminine: find freedom through structureToday, we shine a light on the background of how we chose our name, “Forging Fluidity” - for us, a way to honour the polarities that exist between the Masculine & Feminine, & how the energies show up in our lives.
As we go deeper into the layers of masculine & feminine, we explore how discipline & structure create a foundation for freedom & flow - referencing Mike Fitch’s ideology that “structure gives us freedom”; & Jocko Willink’s concept that “discipline equals freedom.”
Living in a modern world that celebrates encourages the “hustle & grind” culture that so often leads to burnout & illness...2022-08-0134 min
