The holidays get messy with travel, family gatherings, unpredictable schedules, food everywhere, and the kind of days where your normal routine doesn't stand a chance. Ryann, Kelly, and Kelsey talk about how to navigate movement during the busiest time of year without slipping into all-or-nothing thinking.

They cover how to reframe "imperfect" workouts, ways to move during long travel days, what to pack (and when you don't need anything at all), how to set boundaries around your training, how to avoid guilt-driven exercise, and why one week of chaos and inconcistency won't erase your progress.

If you want to feel good, stay grounded, and keep movement in your life even when everything else is wild, this one's for you.
