This episode is for anyone navigating the world of hip replacements—whether you’re a movement teacher facing surgery, a curious student, or a trainer working with post-op clients.

I share my own journey from hip arthroscopy to anterior hip replacement, and we’ll cover:

• How to know when it’s time to consider surgery
• Pre-surgery physical and mental prep
• The real recovery timeline and what surprised me
• Understanding the differences between anterior, posterior, lateral, and SuperPATH surgical approaches
• Finding a surgeon who understands your profession
• Adapting your practice and teaching afterward
• Growth mindset and what resilience really looks like in healing

📌 Why This Matters:

As movement professionals, we rely on our bodies—not just to work, but to teach through example. But when that body needs help, knowledge is power. This episode empowers you with perspective, practical tools, and maybe even a little courage.

📎 Mentioned in This Episode:

• What I wish I knew before the surgery
• Pre-hab and Rehab tips
• Questions to ask your surgeon
• How to support clients after hip replacement

Perfectionism is sneaky. It whispers that we’re not ready, not enough, not doing it right. But what if the pressure to be perfect is actually holding you back from being a truly powerful teacher?
In this episode, Hannah explores how perfectionism shows up in teaching—and how to release it in favor of presence, growth, and joy. You'll walk away with real strategies to shift your mindset, reset your inner dialogue, and connect more deeply with your clients (and yourself).
Whether you're a new instructor or a seasoned pro, this episode will remind you: You don't need to be perfect to make an impact.

What We Cover:

• The hidden ways perfectionism shows up in teaching
• What clients really remember (spoiler: it’s not flawless transitions!)
• What perfectionism is costing you—and how to reclaim your energy
• The mindset shift from fixed to growth (with examples to reframe your self-talk)
• How to teach with confidence, even when things aren’t “just right”
