Rewriting the Body Story with Janice Isaman

In this episode of SoundBits, host Kim Groshek sits down with movement specialist Janice Isaman to explore the emotional and physical journey from feeling "non-athletic" to becoming a trusted guide for others navigating chronic pain and body disconnection. Janice shares her personal transformation story—from crying in a high school gym office to owning a successful movement studio—and how reframing old narratives allowed her to embrace a new story of confidence, embodiment, and purpose.
