This episode is a heart-to-heart—raw, real, and one I’ve been needing to share with you for a while.
I’m diving deep into what it really means to break the chains of reactive care as a PTA. If you’ve ever felt stuck, like you’re 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 today’s "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 you’ve 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.
