This episode is a heart-to-heartāraw, real, and one Iāve been needing to share with you for a while.
Iām diving deep into what it really means to break the chains of reactive care as a PTA. If youāve ever felt stuck, like youāre not making the impact you hoped for when you became a PTA, you are not alone. I started this journey over 20 years ago, and I know firsthand what it feels like to want more, but not know how to get there.
In this episode, I open up about my own story, including the powerful memory of my grandfather and how his journey inspired the vision behind Stretch Mobility Coaching. I also break down the history of our reactive healthcare system, from the influence of Rockefeller and the Flexner Report to how we arrived at todayās "pill for every ill" model. More importantly, I show you why PTAs can lead, make a difference, and step into a new lane of proactive care.
We talk about mindset shifts, what keeps PTAs stuck, and how you can build a fulfilling, autonomous career by becoming a Stretch Mobility Coach. If youāve ever felt the call to lead, to break the mold, and to help clients before they decline, not just chase pain and symptoms, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Iām diving deep into something I havenāt really covered on the show beforeāwhat truly sets Stretch Mobility Coaching apart in the health and longevity space. Iām not here to talk about dysfunction or slap a band-aid on symptoms. Iām here to talk about real solutionsāwhat it actually takes to help people move better, feel better, and live longer.
In this episode, I break down the myth of stretching and assisted stretching, and why the traditional reactive care model is setting us (and our clients) up for disappointment. I share the hard truths backed by research, like why seven hours of weekly stretching is unrealistic, and how just 15 minutes of strength training three times a week can yield even better flexibility results.
I also introduce you to our unique MAPP Testing System, how it identifies unhealthy movement patterns before they spiral into chronic pain, and why Stretch Mobility Coaching is a new scope of practice rooted in longevity science, not physical therapy, not massage, and definitely not passive stretching.
If youāre a PTA whoās burned out, stuck in the symptom cycle, or looking for a higher-level path to truly make an impact, this one is for you. Iām showing you how to break free, reclaim your purpose, and become a leader in the future of proactive movement health.
š Donāt forget to check the show notes for the $47 mini-course that walks you through how to go solo without a PT.

In todayās episode, Iām diving into the mindset shift that changed everything for meāand could change everything for you, too. If youāve ever felt boxed in as a PTA, like your license is holding you back instead of setting you free, this oneās for you.
Iām sharing my own journeyāhow I moved through orthopedics, skilled nursing, and home health, chasing income and trying to make a difference, but always feeling stuck under someone elseās rule. Sound familiar? Iāve been where you are. But I didnāt stay there.
This episode is your official invitation to step outside the box. Iāll introduce you to the new elite profession of Stretch Mobility Coachingāwhat it is, how it works, and why itās built for PTAs who want to lead, not follow. Iāll walk you through the proactive care approach that gets ahead of pain and helps clients avoid surgery, and Iāll show you how you already have the foundation to thrive in this new space.
Plus, youāll meet a few of our amazing coaches who are living proof that this path worksāand it works well.
So if youāre ready to think bigger, lead bolder, and step into your own lane, hit play and letās get started.

Iām getting real about one of the biggest things holding so many talented PTAs back from starting their own business: fear of the unknown. Iāve worked with countless PTAs who dream of ownership but feel stuck because they just donāt know what their next step should be.
If thatās you, I see you. Iāve been there too ā that scary in-between space where your gut says you're meant for more, but your head is spinning with doubts. Today, Iām walking you through three signs it might be time for you to take the leap, trust yourself, and start building a business that gives you more freedom, impact, and income.
Weāll also talk about how the Stretch Mobility Coach model was created exactly for this ā to give PTAs like you a legal, safe, and powerful way to step into leadership and business ownership with structure and support.
If youāre already showing up like a business owner, frustrated by limitations, or dreaming of doing things your way, this episode is for you.
Letās talk growth, letās talk freedom ā and letās make this year the one where you finally bet on yourself.

Today, Iām sharing a hard truthāthereās no way to truly grow as a PTA unless you're willing to change lanes. If youāre a PTA who feels stuck or burned out, this episode is for you. Passion alone wonāt create the growth or income you want, and typical career moves like switching settings or getting extra certifications wonāt cut it.
Iāll explain why the current system limits your growth and how stepping into a completely new role outside of traditional physical therapy can unlock your potential. Iāll introduce the Stretch Mobility Coach (SMC) pathāa business model designed for PTAs to go solo, gain autonomy, and make more money.
If you're ready to break free, download my free book, Stretch Beyond PT, where I share how I made the shift and how you can, too. Letās build something better together. Thanks for tuning in!

Today, we're talking about why some PTAs soar in solo business while others get stuck. Itās not always about skillsāmindset plays a huge role. Iāve seen PTAs who believe in themselves and the process grow incredibly fast, while others stay stuck despite having the same resources.
Success is 80% mindset and 20% action. You have to act like a business owner before seeking clients and stop waiting for perfection. In this episode, Iāll share how shifting your mindset can lead to big breakthroughs and how to embrace your role as a CEO. Self-doubt doesnāt mean youāre unqualifiedāitās just part of the process.
Iāll also talk about how I overcame my own doubts and took imperfect action to build my business and how you can do the same. Plus, stay tuned for a new masterclass coming soon to help you go solo legally and with the right mindset.
Letās dive ināhope this episode inspires you to believe in yourself and take that first step! See you next week!

Todayās episode is a little different. Itās not about business, strategy, or launching something new. Itās about something deeperātruth, love, and grace.
Right now, the world feels heavy. Maybe youāre feeling it, too. Maybe your relationships feel strained, or your kids donāt see you as a whole person beyond just being their parent. Maybe youāre wondering where kindness has gone. Iāve been feeling this weight, watching how social media fuels division and how quickly we label, judge, and walk away from hard conversations. But I believe we have a choice.
In this episode, Iām sharing my heart on what it means to lead with love, even when itās hard. I talk about the power of grace, the importance of staying grounded in truth, and why we donāt have to let hurt turn into bitterness. If youāve been struggling with feeling disconnected, rejected, or simply out of place in a world that feels unfamiliar, I hope this message reminds you that you matter.
Letās lean inward, choose love, and rememberāgrace always begins with us.
Iām honored youāre here. Letās dive in.

Letās be real: working in outpatient for $25 an hour or doing PRN for $35 might seem okay for a while, but itās not a long-term strategy. You didnāt become a PTA just for the paycheck, and you definitely donāt have to accept burnout and capped salaries as your reality.
In this episode, Iām breaking down the financial struggles PTAs face in traditional healthcare and why the system is built to keep you stuck. But hereās the good news: thereās another way.
Iām going to show you how Stretch Mobility Coaching is creating a new pathway for PTAs to take control of their income, schedule, and futureāwithout going back to school, taking on more debt, or working endless hours.
If youāre feeling financially stuck and looking for a way out, this episode is for you. Iāll share my own journey from making $17 an hour to building a financially rewarding career, and Iāll give you the first steps to start your own path to freedom.

Iām diving into a question I hear all the time: āIs Stretch Mobility Coaching just another form of physical therapy?ā The answer? Absolutely not. Stretch mobility coaching is its own unique lane in the wellness space, and today Iāll break down why this difference is so important for PTAs who are feeling boxed in by traditional PT practice.
If youāve ever wondered why you canāt deliver the care you truly want to giveāor if youāre struggling with the limitations of the reactive PT modelāthis episode is for you. Iāll explain how stretch mobility coaching shifts the focus from reactive care to proactive, long-term wellness and how it allows you to work with a different type of client: people who are motivated, proactive, and ready to invest in their health.
Weāll talk about why PT isnāt designed for optimizing movement or achieving long-term strength and flexibilityāand how stretch mobility coaching fills that gap. Plus, Iāll share how this career path offers you the freedom to work on your own terms, set your own rates, and truly make an impact.
Ready to explore this exciting alternative to traditional PT? Tune in and discover why becoming a stretch mobility coach could be the game-changing career move youāve been looking for.
