This week I am joined by Danielle Linneweber, founder of Purposeful Pilates, a Minneapolis based pilates studio.

In this episode, Danielle shares her journey from a career in corporate communications to fitness. She discusses her personal battle with chronic pain that eventually led her to pilates. Danielle emphasizes the importance of finding a higher purpose and credits her life coach for giving her the extra push she needed to step out on her own. Danielle stresses the importance of trusting your gut, seeking knowledge, and taking risks.

Key Takeaways

Pilates can be an effective method for addressing chronic pain.
Seeking guidance from a life coach can be helpful during career transitions.
