118: Tayla Cannon: Overcoming Pain With Strength, Core & Hip Stability
Broads: The Bold & Badass Fitness Podcast for WomenShow Notes
Have you ever wondered why certain pains keep coming back no matter how much you stretch, rest or change your workouts? Sometimes the issue isn’t the pain itself, but the way your body is trying to move without enough support.
In this episode I sat down with a physiotherapist and rehab coach Tayla Cannon to talk about how strength and stability shift recurring aches, why hip control matters more than people realize, how your core holds you in everyday movement and why loaded mobility often creates more change than stretching alone.
If you’ve been dealing with spots that keep acting up or you want to feel more supported when you train, you’ll walk away with things that help right away. It’s grounded and helps you make sense of what’s been happening in your body.
Tayla Cannon is the founder of Athletic Rebuild, a virtual approach that helps people move past quick relief and into strength that supports real-life movement. She joined us to talk about what happens when you finally bridge the gap between rehab and training. Tune in.

You know what consistent people have that you don’t?
Rocio Cortez had never played a sport or trained in a gym when she walked into her first jujitsu class at 27. Three and a half years later she's competing across four martial arts, she's deadlifted 275 pounds at a bodyweight of 119, and she's added 15 pounds of muscle she never set out to add. In this conversation she and Tara get into what changes when you train for performance instead of appearance, how to handle a body that's changing faster than your brain can keep up with, and why the friendships that fade when your lifestyle shifts were never the ones holding you up. If you've decided you started too late, Rocio's timeline will recalibrate what you think is possible.
Nutrition advice for women is loud, contradictory and usually built for someone else's body. In this solo Q&A, Tara answers your most-asked questions. She covers intermittent fasting, tracking macros, how to actually get enough protein and which protein bars are worth buying. She also gets into healing your relationship with food and going alcohol-free when your partner still drinks. You'll walk away knowing which tools fit your body right now, and which ones you can skip.
For women who strength train consistently and feel like something is still missing, it is probably not the program or the effort. The tools that elite collegiate strength coaches use with their athletes — plyometrics, isometrics, contrast training, tempo work — are almost never included in general fitness programming. In this episode, Erica Lowery breaks down exactly what those tools are, why they work, and how any woman can start adding them to her week without overhauling what she is already doing.
Most women who are not seeing results from their training are not failing because of their program, their supplements, or how hard they are pushing. The problem is consistency — and not in the way most people think. This episode breaks down seven specific ways to build the kind of consistency that actually holds, so you can stop spinning your wheels and start making progress that compounds.
