I am so excited to introduce this week’s guest to the show. Andrea Lui is a board certified clinical specialist in orthopedic physical therapy (OCS), and is skilled in treating a variety of patients with acute and chronic pain. Andrea is passionate about patient education and empowering her patients to help themselves.  I found Andrea through her instagram page @TheKnittingPT. She began noticing that there were very little resources available to knitters, crocheters, and crafters alike on how to take care of their bodies. She was inspired to put out short videos with information on stretches, strengthening exercises, and information on how to care for your body.  No matter what type of maker you are, I know you will get a lot out of today’s conversation. So let’s dive in!

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY WITH "THE KNITTING PT" ANDREA LUI

Are you a planner or someone who loves to fly by the seat of your pants? Consider this: maybe not having a plan isn't such a bad thing... If Andrea Lui followed what she was good at in school, she would have ended up as an accountant. Moral of that story - what you are good at, doesn't need to be your life's work unless you love it. She decided to take a very different path, which led her on some amazing adventures around the world, and a successful career in acting, and now pole performance. But if you were to ask her today what she does for a career, you wouldn't exactly get a straight answer. You see, every decision she's made usually revolves around this one question. "Am I having fun?" If she's not, she finds something else to do. Imagine not being tied down to something and just following what makes you happy. We discuss how she ended up almost joining the circus; how she randomly became a performer with Disney; why telling a white lie lead her to a career in professional pole performance and her beliefs on having fewer goals in life and why that makes her happier. If you want to know how to truly live the good life and have fun while doing it, then you'll want to hear this one!
