Pole Dancing, Pain, and Performance with Emily Rausch

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 17:00:00 -0700

Welcome back to Finding Fortitude! Today’s guest is one of the most badass humans I know — Dr. Emily Rausch: sports chiropractor, pole dancer, and unapologetic educator helping dancers stay strong, reduce injuries, and return to the pole with confidence.

In this episode, we get real about what it actually takes to keep your body resilient in a demanding sport like pole. Emily breaks down the myths around chiropractic care, the power of strength training for pole artists, and how dancers can train smarter to reduce injuries and perform their best.

We also get into:

The common skepticism around chiropractic care — and how evidence-based providers like Emily are changing the narrative
How Emily’s own shoulder rehab journey made her a stronger clinician and coach for pole dancers navigating injury
Why it matters to work with a healthcare provider who truly understands the physical demands of the sport or activity you’re returning to after injury
Body image, fear of "getting bulky," and redefining strength
The role of strength, flexibility, and recovery — and how hypermobility affects training and injury risk for pole dancers

Fair warning: this episode includes a bit of explicit language (and a lot of honesty). So if that’s not your vibe, feel free to skip — no hard feelings!

Pressing Pause for Healing and Recovery with Emma Jack

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:00:00 -0800

As former athletes, we're wired to push through pain and keep moving—but in many cases, true healing only comes when we slow down and listen to our bodies.

We discuss:

Emma's athletic and professional background and how it's shaped her approach to recovery
Her recent personal healing journey and the lessons it's taught her, including how it's influenced the way she supports others who are recovering from pain or injury
The power of learning when (and how) to Press Pause in order to Press Play
How to advocate for yourself in the healthcare system, especially with chronic pain conditions that are often dismissed or misunderstood

This conversation felt like a warm hug. Emma’s wisdom on trusting your body, embracing rest, and navigating healthcare is invaluable—whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or simply learning to slow down. I can’t wait for you to hear it!

“Can we go deeper?” Life Lessons in Fitness with Allison Tenney

Fri, 26 Jan 2024 15:00:00 -0800

There are many superficial questions about fitness that tend to float around the internet and spark debate. Does lifting make you bulky? Which exercises will grow your glutes and “snatch” your waist? Should I do “this” or “that” for “x” result? But in this episode, strength and conditioning coach Allison Tenney calls us in to go deeper and consider the systems of oppression that lie beneath these questions.

Spoiler alert: there is much to be gained from moving your body outside of physical performance or physique. If you’re a fan of deep and important conversations, you’re not going to want to miss this one!

In this episode, we discuss:

Allison’s background as an athlete turned soccer coach turned online fitness coach for women
A look into Allison’s business and the layers of messaging underneath her social media posts and strength programs
How exercise can help us improve our capacity to tolerate discomfort outside the gym
The use of movement as a somatic practice and the idea of “remembering and re-membering the body”
The importance of getting off the hamster wheel of "never enough"
And so much more!
