Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play podcast!
In today’s conversation we are joined by the one and only Tim Shieff!
In the late 2000’s Tim was one of the best and most well known parkour athletes in the world, and in today’s discussion we will be hearing about the personal and professional struggles he faced that would lead him on a tumultuous journey for a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.
Along the way Rafe will share parallels of his own journey for personal health and healing, including the role that childhood trauma plays in physical ailments and injury, therapeutic practices he’d employed to overcome these issues, and the deep work that has been required to repair and rejuvenate his closest relationships.
They will also talk at length about the way all of this has evolved their understanding of human movement and the way that they view their roles as coaches and mentors.
This is a very rich discussion that you won’t want to miss out on.
