Ep53: What Is Your Body Trying to Tell You? With Kiki Cordero-Drake
What if the reason you’re still stuck isn’t because you haven’t done enough — but because you’ve been looking in the wrong place? Kristi Hujik sits down with Kiki Cordero-Drake, co-founder of Moderne Athlete, Vice President of EQ Flux Wave and founder of PEMF Pilates, for a fascinating conversation about pain, movement, nervous-system regulation and the interconnected nature of the body. After years of injuries and multiple surgeries as a young athlete, Kiki eventually discovered Pilates and later PEMF therapy. Today, she combines Pilates Sports Therapy with frequency, vibration, breathwork, bodywork and fascial work to help people move, recover and feel better. Kristi and Kiki explore why Pilates is more than exercise, how PEMF is being incorporated with movement, the potential significance of scars and fascial restrictions, and the connections between the jaw, diaphragm, pelvic floor, posture and pain. They also tackle a bigger idea that runs throughout the conversation: Your body isn’t necessarily fighting you. It may be trying to protect you. Instead of immediately overriding a symptom, what might change if you became curious about what your body is trying to tell you? If you’ve been doing “all the things” and still feel stuck, this episode may change where you look next.
