#66 Feet first: rethinking shoes for us and our kids with BarefootBrit

Your feet are talking, but are you listening?

You know that moment you kick off your shoes and feel instant relief? It’s your body’s way of saying, we didn’t like that.

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Brittany Balinski, better known as ‘Barefoot Brit’; founder of barefootbrit.co.uk and the UK’s first Barefoot Shoe & Foot Health Expo. A mum of four turned advocate, Brittany’s mission is to help families rediscover what natural movement for their feet really means.

Together we explore:

why conventional shoes can quietly reshape how kids (and adults) move
how reconnecting our feet and brain transforms balance, confidence, and coordination
what happens when we stop numbing our senses and start trusting our bodies again
and how to make the switch to healthier, foot-shaped footwear

This conversation will make you rethink what your feet have been trying to tell you all along!
