We have spent the month of April looking at the importance of caring for ourselves in challenging times. In this recording, I have the opportunity to have a great conversation with Cheryl Whitelaw, a functional movement specialist and CEO of Peace and Power Movement Services. Cheryl shares her insightful journey through personal growth and development, especially reflecting on her experiences with divorce and how they acted as a catalyst for her exploration into the integral role of the body in handling life's challenges.


She reveals how understanding and harnessing the body's response to stress and utilizing functional movement can transform and empower us, especially during difficult transitions like divorce. Join us as we discuss the importance of being kind to our body and treating it as a close ally, which can be our greatest tool in navigating the storms of life. So tune in, get comfortable, and let's explore these transformational perspectives with Cheryl Whitelaw.
