In this episode of The Magnetic Coach Podcast, I’m joined by the Jan McGrath—founder of Pilates Whole Body and The Whole Body Way.
Jan walks us through her inspiring shift from corporate hustle to helping others reconnect with their bodies through movement. We talk about how movement isn’t just good for your body—it’s actually a game-changer for your brain, your productivity, and your overall sense of feeling like a human again.
She introduces the idea of taking a “brain-down” approach to coaching and business (yes, your brain and entire lower body are very much in a relationship), and she shares simple, practical tips to help you set boundaries with screen time, build better habits, and carve out time for YOU.
If you’ve been running on fumes or just need a reminder to take care of the body that’s carrying you through this wild entrepreneurial ride—this conversation is full of gentle wisdom and doable shifts that can really make a difference.
