204 - Rethinking Exercise: How to Make Movement Joyful, Not a Chore


Listen Later

What happens when you want to move your body more—but it always feels like a “should”? In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story from a recent camping trip with my husband, Rob, that sparked a meaningful conversation about movement, motivation, and mindset.

Together, we unpacked what’s really getting in the way of consistent, joyful movement—even when we know it’s good for us. Spoiler: it’s not laziness. It’s the pressure, the language, and the unrealistic expectations we place on ourselves.

You’ll learn:

  • Why “working out” might be the problem—and what to say instead
  • How to recognize the movement you're already doing
  • Why “meeting yourself where you’re at” is the secret to sustainability
  • What joyful movement actually looks like (hint: it’s not punishment)
  • The role of compassion and curiosity in rebuilding a relationship with movement

If you’re craving a kinder, more sustainable way to move your body—this episode is for you.

Mentioned in the episode:

  • Fly Fitness dance workouts (https://www.flydancefitness.com/classes)
  • Camping, walking, and redefining movement beyond the gym

I’d love to hear from you: What does joyful movement look like for you this summer? Email me at [email protected] and share your story.
