What Your Injury is Trying to Tell You

What Your Injury Is Trying to Tell You

Podcast Shownotes:

When does pushing through turn into pushing too hard? In this episode of Energy Works, Lauren and Blaine discuss the fine line between commitment and burnout. They also talk about the role of rest, the risks of overtraining, and the messages our bodies send when we’re not listening.

Lauren shares how ignoring her body’s signals led to an injury - and how looking at the emotional side of her pain helped her heal faster. Blaine, an experienced athlete and coach, breaks down how to balance movement and recovery, why rest days don’t always mean doing nothing, and how paying attention to your body can keep you moving for years to come.

What You'll Hear:

The Rest Day Myth – Why full recovery doesn’t always mean total stillness and how gentle movement can actually help.

Balancing Commitment and Intuition – When pushing through becomes a problem and how to recognize the warning signs.

Emotional Lessons in Injury – How Lauren connected her back pain to deeper emotional patterns. 

The Power of Yin – Why slowing down matters, especially as we age. 

Practical Tools – Quick body check-ins, breathwork, and small habits to stay in tune with what you need.

Takeaway:

Injury doesn’t usually come out of nowhere - it starts with whispers before it turns into a shout. The more you tune in, whether through movement, rest, or breath, the better you’ll feel in the long run.
