The Evolving Self: Embracing Life’s Transitions, Finding Movement as Medicine, and the Power of Pilates With Cindy Im

August 06, 2025 • Alyssa K. Abrahamson • Episode 241

241. This week I introduce you to my friend Cindy Im, a New York–based actor who, after decades of navigating the ups and downs of a performing career, made the courageous decision to pivot into becoming a Pilates instructor. In our conversation, Cindy shares what initially drew her to acting, how she discovered a love for fitness and movement, and how Pilates not only eliminated her chronic back pain but ultimately opened a new path forward. Tune in as we talk about navigating major life transitions in midlife, the grief and growth that come with shifting identities, and how our relationships with our bodies and strength continue to evolve.
