| When Slowing Down Becomes the Strongest Thing You Can Do | 09 Dec 2025 | 00:28:04 | |
So many women move through life in a constant state of doing. We hustle, we achieve, we handle everything for everyone else, and somewhere along the way we forget how to slow down.

They share real stories, practical practices, and the mindset shifts that helped them move from overwhelm and survival mode into a more grounded, intentional way of living. You’ll hear why the nervous system plays such a huge role in how we show up, why “deserving to rest” is such a loaded idea for women, and how to find the middle ground between ambition and presence.

| Stop Shrinking and Start Strengthening | 02 Dec 2025 | 00:28:07 | |
In this week’s episode of What They Didn’t Tell You From Core to Floor, Millie sits down with Zoe Corin for an honest and grounded conversation about shifting from shrinking to strengthening. Together they explore what embodiment truly means, how strength changes the way you see yourself, and why so many women are finally realizing that chasing “small” never leads to long-term health or confidence. Millie and Zoe open up about the pressure to be thin, how their own communities shaped their early views on their bodies, and the moment they each realized that strength offered something far deeper than aesthetics. They talk through the realities of bone density, aging, postpartum changes, and why lifting weights becomes one of the most powerful tools for long-term health. They reflect on how strength training changes the way you show up in your life, how it breaks self-limiting beliefs, and why taking up more space physically and emotionally becomes a form of empowerment. This conversation is real, vulnerable, and full of perspective for women in every stage of life. At the end of the episode, Millie and Zoe share the details of their six-week strength and core program designed to help women build confidence, understand proper form, and finally feel strong and connected to their bodies.
