#18: From Injury to 'Mobility on Steroids': William Soo on Creativity, Fitness, Calisthenics & Letting Go of Control

Deeply Aligned

In this episode, I sit down with William Soo, a multifaceted fitness coach and graphic designer whose journey from art to fitness has transformed his approach to life, creativity, and movement. Starting as a designer, William found himself on an unexpected path after a back injury, which led him into bodybuilding, then calisthenics, and now what he calls “mobility on steroids.”

William shares insights on the balance between discipline and freedom and how these practices have redefined his relationship with his body and mind. We dive into how his journey evolved from traditional fitness goals to embracing movement as a form of creative expression, how psychedelics shifted his perspective on control, and why he believes curiosity and creativity are essential to living fully.

In this episode, we talked about:

• William's transition from a career in graphic design to a life dedicated to fitness and self-exploration
• How injury and bodybuilding led him to new realms of movement and "mobility on steroids"
• The impact of psychedelics on letting go of control and embracing change
• Why creativity is essential in both physical and mental growth
• Balancing strength, flexibility, and the power of staying curious

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on reimagining life, fitness, and creativity!
