Creating Friction: Cecily Milne on Growth Without the Hustle

In this episode of Unscripted Curiosity, Jenn and Scott are joined by Cecily Milne, founder of Yoga Detour, for a wide-ranging and beautifully human conversation about growth, movement, motherhood, and redefining ambition.

Cecily shares how discomfort has been a catalyst for both personal and professional evolution—from launching Yoga Detour after her own injuries, to navigating a major life move from Toronto to Squamish, BC. She opens up about postpartum anxiety, the hidden challenges of parenting, and the surprising shifts in identity that come with living in a slower-paced, mountain-town culture.

Together, the trio explores the messiness of “enoughness,” the unlearning required to embrace interdependence, and how authenticity—not perfection—is the most magnetic force in both business and relationships. Cecily also speaks candidly about balancing online teaching with real-life connection, and how movement remains a powerful tool for her mental health.

Expect honest reflections, a few laughs, and a reminder that growth doesn’t always look graceful—but it’s worth it.
