[Katy Bowman, inner stuff]: The similarities between non-constructive feedback and farts + the impact of age on her creative drive Ep 1192

This week’s guest, biomechanist Katu Bowman, is the author of 12 books on movement, including the bestselling “Move Your DNA” and her most recent book, “ I Know I Should Exercise, But...” Katy is also the founder of Uphill Press, an independent publishing company that has sold more than 300 ,000 copies of its books and had them published in 16 languages.

Today we're talking about all the inner stuff that goes into Katy's writing, the thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, likes, dislikes, resistance, et cetera, including:

- Why she’d rather start a new project than promote a project that is already finished

- How remembering that writing books is an opportunity for her to process her knowledge helps her not get too wrapped up in how well a book is received

- The similarities between non-constructive feedback and farts

- What she tells herself when her inner critic is chiming in

- Unhitching your age from how you feel in your body

- How getting older has impacted her creative urgency and output

- The self-care approach that helps her choose what to eat, understand the way her mind works, and even introduced her to her husban

(This episode is a re-broadcast, in honor of the release of “I Know I Should Exercise, But…”)
