Radical Self-Acceptance & Healing Through Movement with Margie Allman

In this powerful episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Avik welcomes Margie Allman—author, Ironman contender, and trauma survivor—for a raw, heartfelt conversation about resilience, radical self-acceptance, and healing after profound loss. Margie opens up about her harrowing journey from surviving institutional child abuse and addiction to building a life of inner peace, strength, and purpose at 60. Together, they explore how movement became Margie’s lifeline, the power of grief to reshape identity, and how self-compassion is the foundation of lasting healing.

• Grief and love grow side by side; healing doesn’t mean forgetting.

• Radical self-acceptance requires learning to let go of shame and rewriting the inner narrative.
