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.

About the Guest:
Margie Allman is the inspiring author of the upcoming book The Sufferfest: How Sex, Drugs, and Triathlon Saved My Life. A survivor of institutional abuse and addiction, Margie transformed her life through fitness, inner work, and radical self-love. Now 60, she is a Pilates instructor, Ironman athlete, and fierce advocate for healing, reminding us all that no one is beyond the power to rise.

Key Takeaways:

  • Healing often begins with one small act—like getting out of bed or going for a walk.

  • Movement can be a gateway to mental clarity and emotional strength.

  • 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.

  • You don’t have to be perfect to be powerful—just present and willing to begin again.
