Marni on the Move

Fiber is the new protein. Or at least it should be getting the same attention. On this episode of the Marni On The Move podcast, I’m syncing up with Sarah Wragge, founder of Sarah Wragge Wellness and creator of the SWW Method. Sarah shares why fiber is one of the most underrated nutrients when it comes to digestion, metabolic health, and overall wellness — and why it deserves just as much focus as protein in our daily routines. Sarah’s journey into wellness started with her own health challenges, including gut issues, inflammation, and acid reflux at a young age. That experience ultimately led her to build Sarah Wragge Wellness, a coaching business and wellness brand designed to help people better understand how to fuel their bodies and create sustainable health habits. In this conversation, we talk about Sarah’s personal health journey, the inspiration behind the SWW Method, and how her programs and signature products — Optimize, Restore, and Alkalize — support digestion, nutrition, and long-term wellness. We also get into the importance of protein, fiber, minerals, and the daily habits that support a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

What happens when Scandinavian performance culture meets the intensity of New York City’s fitness scene? In this episode of Marni On The Move, I’m joined by Nicoline Roth, founder of NRTHRN Strong — the Scandinavian workout sensation taking over the NYC fitness scene. Born in Copenhagen and now making serious waves in New York, NRTHRN Strong is not your typical strength, cardio or HIIT class. At the center of the experience is a completely unique machine inspired by cross-country skiing — custom to the NRTHRN Strong workout — designed to deliver powerful, full-body conditioning in a way most athletes have never experienced. The workout blends conditioning, strength training, and cardio into a high-performance, interval-based format that challenges endurance, power, and mental grit — all within a strong, community-driven environment. Nicoline shares the vision behind NRTHRN Strong, how she translated Scandinavian training principles into an innovative boutique fitness concept, and what it takes to grow a brand in one of the most competitive fitness markets in the world. We dive into: The structure and flow of a NRTHRN Strong class The proprietary cross-country ski–inspired machine that sets it apart How conditioning, strength, and cardio are intentionally programmed Building community through performance Expanding from Copenhagen to NYC — and East Hampton Lessons learned as a founder Creating and leading a strong team of instructors Nicoline’s daily wellness rituals and breathwork practice Finding balance in New York City The power of setting intention — in business and in life This conversation is about strength in every sense — physical, entrepreneurial, and personal. If you’re curious about the future of performance-driven training and the next evolution of boutique fitness, this episode is for you

In this episode of Marni On The Move, I’m joined by Carl Daikeler, co-founder and CEO of BODi (formerly Beachbody) and one of the original pioneers of at-home fitness. More than 25 years ago, Carl saw an opportunity to bring structured, results-driven fitness into people’s homes—long before streaming platforms, wearables, or social media made it mainstream. That vision led to the creation of iconic programs like P90X and helped define an entirely new model for how people train outside the gym. In our conversation, Carl shares how direct-response marketing shaped the way fitness programs were built, distributed, and scaled; how the industry evolved from VHS to digital platforms; and how consumer priorities have shifted from aesthetics to healthspan, longevity, and sustainability. We also discuss the evolution of fitness programming through systems like Power 90, the introduction of BODi, and the launch of P90X Generation Next. Carl explains why accessibility, consistency, and community are now central to long-term success—and why strength and core training remain foundational for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. This episode offers a thoughtful look at where modern fitness began, how it has evolved, and where it’s headed next.

The Secret to Not Giving Up When Your Mind Wants To Quit! It happens to the best of us, whether you are in the middle miles of a marathon, on an entrepreneurial founder journey, or mid career! There is a moment, an inflection point, a small nuance where you question your why, your mission, why you started, where you are going and you need to shift gears, dig deep, reframe and get yourself out of that rabbit hole. I’ve interviewed 400+ founders and Olympians here on the Marni On The Move podcast and 99% of them have been in this moment, including myself with three companies! In this video, I break down what’s really happening in that almost-quit moment — and the one shift that keeps you in it when everything in your head says “stop.” If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, exhausted, or on the edge of walking away — this one’s for you.

In this Monday Moves episode, Marni Salup welcomes listeners into 2026 with a grounded reset focused on movement, momentum, and alignment. She reflects on the importance of pausing to assess before pushing forward, shares context on her background and the evolution of Marni On The Move, and offers a high-level look at the work she’s been doing behind the scenes alongside the podcast. Without diving into resumes or over-explaining, Marni connects those experiences to one core insight: alignment beats hustle every time. The episode also touches on the unexpected challenges of 2025—including personal upheaval and injury—and how endurance sport principles helped guide recovery, resilience, and forward motion.

In this episode of the Marni On The Move podcast, Marni Salup syncs up with Terry Chang and Dr. Ulrike Kaunzner, co-founders of Two Moons Health, for an in-depth conversation on seed cycling, cycle syncing, and hormone awareness through a practical, science-informed lens. The discussion begins with a clear overview of seed cycling, what it is, how it works, and why this  approach to hormonal support are resonating with so many women today. Terry and Dr. Kaunzner share the inspiration behind building Two Moons Health and the gaps they saw in women’s health education and care that led them to create a more accessible and supportive solution. The conversation explores how hormones shift throughout the menstrual cycle, with particular focus on PMS, why symptoms can look different from person to person, and why normalization should never mean dismissal. Marni and her guests discuss the benefits of seed cycling products, the challenges and opportunities within the women’s health space, and the importance of responsible education and transparency. They also dive into the role of community in women’s health, why shared experience matters, and how connection can drive awareness and empowerment.

The episode also explores common hormonal health protocols, when they may be helpful, and why personalization is key. Practical advice is offered for women who want to become more aware of their hormonal patterns, including how to track cycles, understand symptoms, and know when to seek additional medical support. The conversation includes guidance on hormone testing, how to use data as information rather than judgment, and why tracking can be especially valuable for women experiencing PMS or hormonal shifts. The episode also touches on hormonal education for teenagers and the importance of early awareness.

This is a conversation about food, health, values, and the future—and why the way we eat matters more than we think.

Today on Marni On The Move, I’m joined by someone who has redefined what it means to be strong, resilient, and connected to community: Emily McCarthy, co-founder of GORUCK. Emily’s story is a masterclass in courage and reinvention. We dive into her rare journey from college athlete to the CIA, the lessons she learned operating in high-stakes environments, and how those same principles—leadership, grit, trust—ultimately inspired the creation of GORUCK with her husband, Jason. We get into the birth and evolution of GORUCK, from launching the very first rucks to building a global movement rooted in service, teamwork, and pushing your limits—physically and mentally. Emily shares how GORUCK helped spark the rise of rucking as a social fitness phenomenon, why it’s quietly one of the most effective forms of strength and endurance training, and the very real posture, mobility, and caloric-burn benefits people are experiencing with this accessible, low-impact sport. We talk about gear innovation, why GORUCK’s approach to durability changed the industry, and how Emily helped lead the development of women-specific products—something the community had been asking for and she felt deeply passionate about. We also explore the crossover between endurance sports, coaching, and business, how building GORUCK mirrors building any long-term athletic goal, and why the next generation of athletes and leaders is being shaped by community-driven fitness. Emily and I get personal, too—discussing surfing as her passion, navigating fear (yes, even sharks), staying grounded, and the importance of truly dialing into your local community, your body, and your recovery. This conversation is about strength, evolution, leadership, and building something that lasts—whether that’s a brand, a sport, or a life you’re proud of.
