Phreestyle Episode 25: Failing Forward W/ Tawnya Nguyen

Phreestyle Episode 25: Failing Forward W/ Tawnya Nguyen

Welcome  back to the Phreestyle podcast everyone! MY guest today is  someone who has personally helped me more than I can ever thank her  for,  and that is *insert drum roll here* Tawnya Nguyen. Tawnya is part  of an  organization called movement society, they conduct physical  training  and coaching for anyone who has some fitness goals they want  to achieve.  From my amazing experience with Movement society, they  showed how big  they are into two things: Understanding how every aspect  of ones life  can affect their fitness and health. Including sleep,  diet, stress, and  everything else. And also, moving forward the idea  that dancers are the  same as any other top tier athlete and they should  be treated as such.  By others and themselves. This chat was awesome as  we got into why dancers should be treated as  athletes, cultural issues  in gyms and the fitness world in general, and   some of Tawnya's  background and how she got to where she is. Fantastic person and a  fantastic organization SO be sure to check them  out MOVEMENT SOCIETY:  https://movementsocietyco.com/    @movementsociety  on  instagram  TAWNYA: @coachtawns on instagram Share and like the podcast and talk to  me on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter,  or Facebook all at: @philliamwillas  Take care! :)

Welcome  back to the Phreestyle podcast everyone! Got another great guest here  for you all, and that is my crew member Cuong "Koi Roi" Tran

I had Koi on the pod for his unique perspective on having a life  heavily involved in art and community, while also being a man with a  family. Koi has a wife and son, as well as a full time position as an  animator as well as a clothing design company. And in our conversations  we get into his amazing talent to stay connected with people and just  foster a community at any time. A super useful skill, especially during  quarantine, so I thought this could bring some value to you peeps.

Phreestyle Ep 3: Balance of Nature vs. Nurture W/ Alex Bunge

For this very special episode, my best friend Alex hops on the Phreestyle podcast. We go straight in to some in depth conversation about our upbringing and how the balance of those around us and who we are naturally shaped us now. Alex spent a large part of his life living in Germany, and also was raised in a separated household. I felt he could give some great value to anyone going through the struggles of finding identity, divorced parents, or moving to a new country. This was an awesome talk and can't wait to share some more of his experience!
