Take Your Shoes Off First w/ Julia Freeland
Beyond Words with Lora Clothier
Get ready for some emotion in this one – a lot of laughing and a few tears. In this episode we talk about the importance of words and explore what lies beyond them, including the emotions that are often triggered because of them.
As we emerge into a time where texting is prolific, common phrases are reduced to acronyms (IDC SSDD FOTFL QQ ILY anybody?) and new words are being created at an unusually rapid pace, do words matter anymore? My next guest insists “YES.”
As a Physical Therapist, Lora Clothier, is adept at looking beyond words as she works to both put her patients at ease and get to the root of what is really causing pain. She is also very particular about words, and for good reason! As Lora takes us on a tour of what shoes she is wearing in life, you will get a chance to see life through the lens of an athlete, a first-generation U.S. citizen, a health care worker and stepmother. We talk about how important it is to be clear in conversation but to temper expectations with an understanding of who and what is being discussed.
I can’t promise you won’t cry, but I’m willing to bet you will laugh and walk away thinking about how you process ideas and information and the impact that has on your relationships and your interactions with others. I invite you to join me as I interview a woman who I have known for years as a part of my beach volleyball community, but never realized just how much we had in common. Perhaps it will inspire you to reevaluate what you know about others and make that intentional investment to get curious about what is beyond the words of those you know – especially the ones you feel you already know well.
Lora is the owner of BioJunction Sports Therapy in West Seattle and Seattle and is the go-to PT advisor for many professional (and recreational) athletes. Her generosity, kind spirit, and love of life is overflowing in all she does. Enjoy!
