MOTM #574: Creating Connection with Laura Jean
Apr 25, 2024
Show notes
This Throwback Thursday episode is a double whammy—it was initially two episodes that I’m rereleasing as one because if you haven’t heard it yet, then you need to immediately, and if you have already heard, well you need to listen again. This conversation, had with none other than my twin, Laura Jean, is the perfect follow-up to Monday’s conversation about the connection conundrum. As human beings, we all want to be seen, heard, and known. If we want that for ourselves, we have to lead from the front and show up in our full humanity so others can feel safe to do the same. That’s how we lead with our values, in life and in business. Y’all know I love actionable advice, especially when coupled with nuance and a deep conversation, and if that’s what you’re craving too, there’s no one better than Laura Jean.
Let’s chat.

I'm your host, Dr. Shanté Cofield, aka The Movement Maestro, and I’m stoked to have you here. I hope this podcast inspires you to make moves and do the thing. Action is the answer.
In This Episode You'll Hear:
Life (& business) beyond the edge of our gardens
Dipping a toe in despair
A fair and just world
Fitting in is not the same as belonging
Bringing your values as a parent
Showing up authentically in a small village
When we don’t feel safe inside ourselves
Showing up in our full humanity, so others can do the same
The power in knowing yourself
Prioritizing yourself
To be held, and to hold space in return
Getting to know yourself
Caring for, instead of taking care of
Creation and cultivation
A business to meet our needs
Marketing is manipulation—but it doesn’t have to be
MOTM #573: The Connection Conundrum
Apr 22, 2024
Show notes
I spend a lot of time on social media, and I’m sure you do too, so you’ve probably noticed the dumpster-fire that seems to be happening in comment sections everywhere. We all desperately want connection, but it’s turned into anger, judgement, and what-about-ism every time a piece of content exists that isn’t perfectly tailored to our lived experiences. Y’all know I’m solution oriented, so I’m always thinking about what’s to be done about it. I’m not sure there’s ever a “right” answer to make it all better, but maybe there are some things we can do to start heading in a better, happier direction.

MOTM #572: One of the Few with Dr. Uchenna “UC” Ossai
Apr 18, 2024
Show notes
Today’s episode features a very special guest: Dr. Uchenna “UC” Ossai. If you don’t already know her, get ready, because you're in for one hell of a treat.
I’m bringing today’s episode back from the vault because UC is speaking at #BossUp this year, and if you weren’t already convinced about going, you will be after hearing her here. She's just an all around dope human being with an energy that is absolutely infectious and it was awesome to have her on the podcast.
UC's upbringing shaped her into the incredible human she is, and the drive for excellence that her parents instilled in her transcends all aspects of her life. The world is changing, and it’s people like UC who are leading us forward. Quite possibly one of the most powerful ideas to be expressed on this podcast, UC explains that the power we inherently hold as healthcare providers makes it our DUTY to put in the work to understand the social issues that affect our patients and thus dictate how to provide them the best care.

MOTM #571: The Number 1 Reason to Go to Live Event
Apr 15, 2024
Show notes
If you’ve never been to a live event, you need to. And it’s not because the information you’ll get there is just too good to pass up (although, that’s certainly a benefit of live events) but there’s another magic you’ll experience entirely when you’re in the same room with other people who are action takers, just like you. So if you’re never been to a live event, and if you’re an action taker—which I know you are because you listen to this podcast—I hope I’ll see you at #BossUp this fall. It’ll change you, and it’ll change how you run your business.

MOTM #570: How to Prioritize Happiness
Apr 11, 2024
Show notes
We talked about Threads on Monday and over there, folks be complaining. In my opinion, at the heart of all that bitching, is unhappiness. Some people are committed to being unhappy, but for the most part, I think people don’t know how to make the things that bring them joy a priority. If something matters to you, then you do it. So what are you making time for in your life?

MOTM #569: WTF Is Up With Threads?!
Apr 08, 2024
Show notes
Does anyone even know what the hell is happening over on Threads? The Instagram algorithm is somewhat protective, but Threads seems to be showing all content to all people which just leads to a clusterfuck of complainers and trolls. To me, it’s illuminating the larger differences between the creators and consumers of social media. If you want to stand above the rest, take my advice, and be a creator.

MOTM #568: My Journey: From PT to “Present” Day
Apr 04, 2024
Show notes
For this Throwback Thursday episode I wanted to rerelease an episode I recorded about my journey as a PT-turned-online business owner. Monday’s episode was all about how you don’t need to “struggle” in order to be successful, and my story is just one example of that. Struggle has it’s place, but not every story needs it in order to have a happy ending. Rather, I’ve always asked myself “Could I keep doing this for the rest of my life?” and making the necessary changes based on the answer. If you find yourself asking the same kinds of questions, maybe my story can show you what else is possible.

MOTM #567: Is Struggle a Prerequisite for Success?
Apr 01, 2024
Show notes
For whatever reasons, we—and by we, I mean society—tends to glorify struggling. We see overcoming obstacles as some sort of moral victory and that those who are successful must have struggled in order to get there. Does that mean you *need* to struggle in order to have success? Y’all, of course not. You can go through difficult shit AND you can be successful, but one doesn’t necessarily cause the other.

In This Episode You'll Hear:

Subjectivity + relativity in “struggle”
Struggle can open eyes to others’ lived experiences
MOTM #566: The Knee Pain Chronicles with Ben Patrick, Knees Over Toes Guy
Mar 28, 2024
Show notes
This throwback is one from the archives (almost 5 years ago now!) but I continue to be a huge fan of this guest and if you aren’t already, you will be soon.
Join me for an incredible conversation with Ben Patrick, founder of the Athletic Truth Group, and creator of the knee ability program that has changed my life. I know, that's a big statement. But I'm speaking my truth. Be skeptical. I don't blame you. All I ask is that you listen to the entire episode, hear what Ben has to say, and then decide for yourself.

MOTM #565: Hopping Never Leaves the Program with Matt McInnes Watson
Mar 25, 2024
Show notes
It’s been a minute since I had the guest on the pod, but we’re changing that up today because this is a conversation you absolutely need to hear. I may talk about business most of the time nowadays, but I’ll always be the Movement Maestro at heart, and there’s something special about getting to nerd-out about movement with someone like Matt McInnes Watson. Really y’all, this guy is the real deal. We chat about all things plyometrics and the dynamic side of movement, the value in mastering the basics, how to create a system that makes sense + builds trust, the education that sets Matt’s business apart, and ultimately, changing the way we move forever. Trust me, you’re gonna want to tune in.
