Episode 26: When Fitness isn't Built for Us
Description
In this episode, Sam sits down with Kate Bochnewetch, a physical therapist and running/strength coach, for a conversation about living, moving and thriving with chronic illness. Drawing from her own journey with hEDS syndrome, POTS and chronic migraines, Kate breaks down the realities of chronic pain, the emotional toll of navigating the healthcare system and the power of finding people who truly get it.
They explore how to approach exercise when the "rules" of traditional fitness don't apply, what good advocacy from providers actually looks like, and why flexibility, curiosity, and self-kindness are essential tools for managing unpredictable symptoms.
This episode celebrates resilience and reminds listeners that healing isn't linear, and you're allowed to rewrite the plan as many times as you need.
