In this powerful and timely episode of Jewels of Juneteenth, I sit down with Coach E., a seasoned Functional Movement Specialist who has helped over 3,000 clients reclaim strength and ease chronic pain. Together, we dive deep into the layered intersections of functional movement, emotional wellness, and the often-overlooked impact of racism on the body.

Coach E. shares his lived experience as a Black man navigating discrimination, and how those encounters leave an imprint—not just on the mind, but deep within the muscles, breath, and posture. We explore how trauma and emotional stress manifest physically, particularly in the shoulders, chest, and gut, and how mindful breathing, nourishing food, and intentional movement can offer profound relief.

This episode is a call to action: to slow down, tune in, and honor what’s still alive in your body. Your healing begins with presence.

🎧 Listen in and savor your return to wholeness.
