In this episode of Trusting Grief, Tami sits down with Michael from Fiveway Fitness for a grounded, eye-opening conversation about the way our bodies hold tension, emotion, and unspoken experiences.

Michael shares how movement, strength work, and simple awareness can reveal what’s happening beneath the surface, why certain muscles feel “stuck,” why some areas overcompensate, and how unresolved stress can live inside our tissues without us realizing it.

This episode explores:

• how the body reflects emotional and physical stress

• why certain muscles shut down or tighten up

• the power of mindful, intentional movement

• how slowing down helps the body release what it’s been holding

• small, practical ways to reconnect to your body

  
  

This conversation isn’t clinical or complicated, it’s human.
It’s about learning to listen to your body with curiosity instead of frustration, and finding healing through the simple act of paying attention.

In this episode, I sit down with my husband, Rob, to talk about one of the hardest chapters of his life.
