What if five minutes of movement could change your entire day — or your life? In this playful and powerful episode, Jill is joined by Lea Wiens, founder of MovementMentor.org, a passionate movement educator, physical literacy advocate, and the creator of Movement Snacks — short, joyful movement breaks designed to reset your body and mind in just five minutes.

Lea’s journey spans decades of teaching—from lifeguarding and running high-energy Fit Chicks classes to now guiding individuals, workplaces, and elite organizations to reconnect with movement as a form of nourishment, not punishment. Her teaching is rooted in physiology and evidence-based research, but fueled by heart, humor, and the belief that movement should be fun, inclusive, and deeply healing.

Together, Jill and Lea unpack the science behind these powerful mini-breaks and challenge the outdated "no pain, no gain" mentality that still dominates our culture.

They explore:

Lea’s work isn’t about crushing workouts or burning calories. It’s about reconnecting with your body, building sustainable habits, and shifting the reason we move in the first place — from punishment to pleasure, from performance to presence.

🌟 You’ll leave this episode inspired to take just five minutes — and maybe even a dance break — to change the course of your day.
