Picture this...a tiny pebble being thrown into a pond.  You see a small ring at first, but that ring keeps getting bigger and bigger.  That's a visual representation of the ripple effect.  

Listen how you can make seemingly small changes that can have a BIG effect on your health overall.

I'd like to introduce you to Sydney Nordquist (aka @Syd.Nord to me on IG)  Sydney is a Michigan based wife, a mama, a blogger, and an advocate for REAL, SIMPLE self-care.  Syd teaches women how to re-learn the art of taking care of themselves.  Too often we think of self-care as super glamorous spa days filled with mimosas, pedicures, and 90 minute Swedish massages (don't get me wrong those all sound AMAZEBALLS), but what about the everyday acts of self care?  What about the days where we may only get 5 or 10 minutes to ourselves that day? Join Sydney and I as we talk about how she implements self care in every day in many different ways. 

You can even sign up for her FREE weekly Self-Care Challenge HERE!  (I'm doing it, too!!)

We're kicking off a 6-part series that will walk you through the WHEEL OF WELLNESS as I call it.  It's the idea that true healthy living is multi-dimensional.  It's not 1 or 2D.  Many of us only focus on 1-3 of these items, but true life-long success requires focus and attention in each of these areas:  

1.  Exercise. 

2.  Water intake.

3.  Nutrition.

4.  Recovery

5.  Mindset

6. Sleep

This week's show focuses on exercise and movement.  You'll learn a few ways to approach exercise and how to make it work for you.  Exercise doesn't have to be complicated, intimidating, or daunting.  Listen for inspiration to get moving today!
