In this deeply personal first episode of the Canine Handler Fitness Podcast, Liz Joyce opens up about the life experiences that shaped her — as a woman, a coach, and a movement professional. From wrestling in high school and working industrial jobs, to living with Crohn’s and finding healing through strength, Liz shares how movement became the thread that pulled her forward through every chapter.
This episode isn’t just about fitness. It’s about growth — the kind that happens when you learn to trust your body again, rebuild your strength, and carry that power into every part of your life. It’s also the origin story of why she’s so passionate about helping other handlers move better, feel better, and thrive in the sport they love.
