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.
