#308 - What Movement Gave Us | Tadris Parker



Movement has been part of my story for a long time — from finding running in high school, to coming back to it throughout adulthood, to the injury that eventually helped lead me to start Run to the Best You. In this week’s episode, I’m kicking off our What Movement Gave Us series by sharing my own story and how movement became much more than exercise — it became confidence, recovery, community, and ultimately a mission.


🎧Press play and think about this question: What has movement given you?
