The Search for Healing and Meaning with TIM SHIEFF | EMP Podcast 143
Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play podcast!
In today’s conversation we are joined by the one and only Tim Shieff!
In the late 2000’s Tim was one of the best and most well known parkour athletes in the world, and in today’s discussion we will be hearing about the personal and professional struggles he faced that would lead him on a tumultuous journey for a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.
Along the way Rafe will share parallels of his own journey for personal health and healing, including the role that childhood trauma plays in physical ailments and injury, therapeutic practices he’d employed to overcome these issues, and the deep work that has been required to repair and rejuvenate his closest relationships.
They will also talk at length about the way all of this has evolved their understanding of human movement and the way that they view their roles as coaches and mentors.
This is a very rich discussion that you won’t want to miss out on.

    The solving boredom really does have a cost. I remember growing up in the 90s and 00s and being bored and the solution was walk around in the neighborhood and find one of my friends or go to their house or call a friend on the phone that was only a phone and do something together. Today if I get bored that is never my first thought, there’s an infinite sea of information and recreation on my phone and talking to a real person I care about is not my first option much of the time, and that’s not even a conscious choice I make seemingly. But am I happier learning new things or enjoying things I like on my phone rather than talking to my friends or family or seeing them? Certainly not.

    My wife is a school principal and absolutely encourages rough and tumble play. She got rid of the policies such as no climbing trees, DEI etc. introduced more out door activities in conjunction with the lessons as well. It's been 5 years and sure some parents freaked and took Thier kids out in the first two years Some teachers left too but now the enrolments are up, the teachers replaced and the kids there are doing better than before. The teachers and parents who left were creating a culture of fear and anxiety and victimhood mentality in the kids.

Otherwise we end up with bullshido or incomprehensible (meaningless) harm. Nonetheless I think the focus is about allowing yourself to shape and be shaped by another human being.

    Where have you been? I've been searching keywords for several years now, looking for anyone touching on something Ive been suspecting - Im looking for someone talking about whether "exercise" came about from door-to-door salesmen selling gadgets like a shaking band to housewives to "keep their figure". Whether exercise culture is all invented, coming from everything becoming industrialized & mechanicalized. Im sick of people treating me like exercise is an irrefutable necessity & non-negotiable requirement for health, healing, weight loss, weight maintenance. Searching for someone talking about people hundreds of years ago living just with natural, unintentional, unplanned, unscheduled, unforced activity or movement. And that women or children or anyone perhaps didnt have to be warned and critiqued for having a naturally slower or lighter load in life and perhaps no one told them they would suffer lower health. For instance, does there even need to be a discussion if a housewife is getting lighter activity by carrying the baby, keeping house, cooking, etc than, say, her husband who might chopping wood, working in mines or construction... ? So many ideas and cant find the right confirmation. Yours about "play" and "fun" are the closest Ive found. Im about to check your channel and probably find out this is almost the only video you've ever done on the topic... Let's see, I hope Im wrong 😊 THANK YOU!
