In this special episode, Steph is joined by her Uncle Mike — a seasoned physical therapist — to talk all things core stability, movement patterns, and how reconnecting to your body can transform the way you move, exercise, and feel. Together, they created Find My Core, a 7-day mini video course designed to help you properly engage your core, improve posture, and reduce pain.

Mike shares what he sees every day in his practice, how most people are doing core work wrong, and why slowing down and reactivating your deep stabilizers is the true path to strength and freedom in your body.

They also give you a behind-the-scenes look at how they created this program — and how you can start feeling more aligned and connected from the inside out.
