What is a TFC Explorer?
This week we’re bringing you our first Live Fireside. On the first Friday of every month we host a live monthly catch up around the virtual campfire inside our community. It’s a warm welcoming space where our members can come together face to face to share stories and ask those burning questions to help them on their journey. This Live Fireside was all about our brand new Explorer Membership. It’s essentially our ultimate digital tool and experience designed to help humans get out of pain and find foot freedom. In this chat we are joined by TFC leaders and community members from around the world and layout our vision for this exciting new chapter in the TFC story.

Movement, Community & Pregnancy w/ With The A Life
This week I chat with Marty and Ange from The A Life - throughout the episode we explore their journey with movement and health, including how and why they transitioned from owning a physical osteopathy practice to a now thriving online movement community. We also delve into their experience with pregnancy so far and discuss the value of mindset and movement practices in preparation for birth and the post-partum period, which is a topic that is very close to home for me at the moment as well, being a new dad myself. I really enjoyed this conversation with Marty and Ange and highly recommend checking out their Instagram page and website for plenty of awesome movement tips and training programs!

Story From The Sole w/ Alison Alder
We’re back with our first 'Story From The Sole' of 2023, where we talk to real people with real life experiences to understand how they’ve navigated their foot health journey. This week I chat to Alison Alder a 42 year old nurse and mother from Brisbane who’s had a really remarkable ride. It was a podcast just like this that first opened here eyes to the barefoot world before an ankle injury struck her down. Alison was in severe pain. Health professionals insisted she would have to ditch her natural footwear for good and rely on supportive shoes and technologies for the rest of her life. Alison wasn’t having it and her journey back from surgery is an inspiring example of what can be achieved with the right mindset and the support of practitioners who empower you along the way.

How To Stay Pain Free w/ Dr. Rangan Chatterjee
This week we’re back with another flashback Friday episode. This time it’s our founder Nick and fellow TFC O-G Mike who are the guests. They chatted to Dr. Rangan Cheterjee on the Feel Better, Live More podcast back in 2018. The trio discuss orthotics and the damaging effects of wearing narrow shoes which squash our feet and talk about how we can help restore our feet to their natural state.
Nick and Mike also explain how there are many ailments that a lot of us just write off as something that we just have, or that we’ve inherited, when in actual fact, there may be something we can do to improve these conditions. The truth is, that while we might have a genetic susceptibility, our environment and our lifestyles also determine what happens to our bodies.
