## Resource

Today, I’m excited to introduce a guest whose journey from pain and exhaustion to vitality will inspire anyone seeking ahealthier, more empowered life. Petra Fisher is a recognized mobility coach and foot health expert, dedicated to helping people rediscover their body’s natural strength and movement potential. Petra’s journey is remarkable. After working demanding hours as a lawyer in Canada, her body broke down from chronic injuries like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and hip pain. Told she’d never walk without orthotics, Petra refused to accept that diagnosis. She left her high-stress career, engaged herself in the world of movement, and completelytransformed her health. Now, through her Build Better Feet program and other innovative approaches to mobility, Petra empowers others to live pain-free, stronger and happier lives. In this episode, we dive into why foot health is the foundation of overall wellness, how modern technology and footwear affect our movement, and practical steps you can take to improve balance, stability, and mobility. We also explore the importance of grip strength, floor sitting, hanging exercises, and the lessons Petra has learned while traveling the world. We even covered some statistics on how having weak foot strength can potentially shorten your lifespan. Get ready to move smarter and live better with Petra Fisher.
