In this episode, Capri breaks down how her Extra Soft 75 walking regimen, her counseling work, and a new research study all lined up perfectly at the end of Stress Awareness Month and Counseling Awareness Month, right before Mental Health Awareness Month begins. She talks about how movement helps regulate big emotions in real time, why walking absolutely counts as exercise, and how consistency has been quietly shifting her stress threshold, her schedule, and her overall sense of alignment. Capri also shares her long‑term vision for the Minding My Alignment podcast and group... a future retreat‑style space in a beautiful location where people can find alignment together and then return home with tools to maintain it. Study referenced: A year‑long clinical trial published in the Journal of Sport and Health Science found that participants who met standard aerobic exercise guidelines (around 150 minutes per week) showed lower long‑term cortisol levels... meaning the participants baseline stress response improved over time. The study suggests that regular movement provides both immediate stress relief and lasting physiological resilience.
