We're back with another special, Spring re-release! Take a listen to our very first conversation with Hero Rev. Lizzie.

In April, we explored past episodes that dealt with ... well, the Past! Stay tuned for May, when we'll revisit conversations centered around finding peace in the Present.

-----

Spirituality and religion provide a framework for understanding the divine through patterns of prayer, rituals, and community support that help us navigate both the ordinary and extraordinary moments. Whether through the solace of personal meditation or the solidarity of communal worship, these practices can ground us and bring us closer to understanding our place in the world and our relationship with the divine.

In this episode, Hero Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail explains the differences between spirituality and religion, how faith can change you, and the role spirituality can play in the darkest times. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her over 70K followers.

This week’s re-release comes from our newest Hero, Moylan Ryan! Moylan joined our team of Heroes in March 2025, and we’re thrilled to revisit our first conversation where he shares an introduction to Rolfing and the powerful, often unexpected ways it can shift how you move, feel, and show up in your body.

-----

What if the way you move—how you stand, walk, and even breathe—could unlock a deeper sense of freedom and alignment? Rolfing, a powerful form of structural integration, offers a profound way to release tension, improve posture, and reshape both body and mind. It helps break free from restrictive habits, allowing for greater ease, fluidity, and presence in everyday life.

Hero Moylan is originally from Ireland, where he trained as a somatic psychotherapist, but eventually relocated to the US over two decades. Moylan recognizes Rolfing's structural integration as a profound means of bringing deep change to one's psychology, a reshaping of both neural and fascial plasticity. Moylan has a private practice as a somatic therapist in Tempe, Arizona, where he offers all things structural integration, neurodynamic breathwork, and movement education as integral parts of his healing process.

What You Will Learn

• [05:33] Why people seek Moylan’s guidance and expertise
• [08:28] What Rolfing is and what happens in a session
• [16:51] The recipe of Rolfing’s 10 successive sessions and their restorative power
• [31:57] How Moylan creates a sense of safety and connection in Rolfing session

• [43:44] Empowerment: Re-embodying yourself and planting seeds of consciousness
• [48:45] The value Aikido presents and what makes it unique

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a therapeutic technique designed to alleviate pain and tension by targeting the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs in the body. This holistic approach addresses not only physical ailments but also emotional and mental trauma, providing comprehensive healing. MFR involves gentle, sustained pressure and stretching to release fascial restrictions, improve mobility, and promote overall well-being. By focusing on the fascia, MFR helps to restore balance and function to the body, facilitating the release of past traumas and supporting a pain-free existence.

In this episode, Hero Karen Remele discusses MFR and its impact on our ability to heal emotional and physical wounds. Karen's journey began as a modern jazz dancer and instructor until a horrific motorcycle accident changed the course of her life. Now, Karen has over 25 years of experience helping women live pain-free existences and educating them on the benefits of myofascial release.
