The first question I wanted to ask Yoga Tune Up creator, Jill Miller, but didn't was how do you perceive your level of success?

I didn't because there wasn't a natural opening that wouldn't have left you all feeling like "Why the hell is Chantill derailing this conversation".

However...we DID talk about Korean natural gardening, bulimia, hip replacements, learning to walk, and many more strange and offbeat things that are sure to leave you feeling like you just watched a Wes Anderson movie. (Good thing.)

How does someone who's made a life in movement and movement education hold kind and compassionate space for her own pain, dis-ease, recovery, and rehabilitation?

It's a story I think will resonate with a lot of you.

And in between we GEEK out on connective tissue, the vagus nerve (her starstruck moment with the man himself, Stephen Porges), current research, and being with people.

It was a wonderful curiosity exclamation point to wrap our third and final (full) season.

Read on. Listen. Enjoy. And be kind to yourself.

In my 20s when I was researching my own disease, my bulimia, I came across of the work of the dr Michael Gershon and his findings on the enteric nervous system.

That was the first time I ever learned anything about the vagus nerve and that the vagus was exclusively responsible for your digestion. I knew there must be a link for myself with the erraticness that I created with my disease and this relationship to my nervous system; the feedback that my organs must be giving to my brain via the vagus.

This is something that was a quest and an inquiry for me a long time ago.
