Daily Inspiration: Meet Whitney Tucker

Today we’d like to introduce you to Whitney Tucker. They and their team shared their story with us below:

Whitney Tucker is a diversely-educated movement trainer and practitioner that utilizes yoga, Pilates, and various modalities of athletic training to support people in their physical journeys. She is the founder of Embodied Potential® and creator of Sync To Thrive®, which supports hormonal literacy for women. As an educator, she draws from experiences as a professional dancer, certified life coach, K-12 public school teacher, and birth worker (birth doula/placenta encapsulator). Throughout her education, she has performed multiple cadaver dissections with Gil Hedley, publishing of articles in peer journals on training techniques and movement as a healing modality, and presented at Congress on Research in Dance on her movement work with prostituted women. As a volunteer, Ms. Tucker has focused on reproductive justice with The Doula Project (2011-2015), services for homeless women and children through Hearts Of Gold (2017-2018) and currently with sterilization campaigns of street dogs where she lives in Mexico. She lives with her two dogs Ava and Pelon and is mother to a wonderful baby girl Onyx.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has not been smooth at all! Like many people, my resiliency and strengths were acquired through trauma. I have struggled with addiction and am grateful to be sober but it was not a straightforward path. Even now, I am in another massive transition as a single mom of an infant.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I help high-achievers go from being tired and burned out to manifesting their secret dream life using neural plasticity, research-based fitness, and goal-reaching habit-formation. I specialize in working with people who have a big purpose (entrepreneurs, execs and moms) and need to be efficient in achieving their results. I am very proud of the career pivots I have created, from being a public school teacher to professional dancer to NYC fitness studio owner to an online course creator. I think that was sets me apart is my ability to take risks and learn from my mistakes.

What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
That no one can decide your purpose for you.
