The Healthy Moving Podcast

Today we are talking about how to break free from the shame of failure and experience growth and change! 

Today I’m peeling back the curtain and telling you about a personal struggle of mine and how a lesson a learned from my body is helping me to get through it! If you feel like giving up on a goal, let me encourage you today. 

Most people begin a journey to improve their health because they want to be smaller. They want less – less weight, less stress, less pain. Today we’ll use your breath to show you that you actually want to be bigger! Plus I’ll answer a listener question about squat repetitions. 

There is nothing more frustrating than working hard on something only to have someone else come along and sabotage your effort. Well, when it comes to our health and wellness, we are often our own saboteurs. This show is the first in a special series called “The Building Blocks,” where we look at the things we are doing all day long that sabotage our health, even if we regularly workout. And today we are starting with the Core. If you have back pain, diastasis recti, or are worried about your cardiovascular health, this show is for you!

It’s my birthday week, which always sends me into a reflective state. So today we’re talking about the big stuff that is really the little stuff – our choices – and their effects. Plus, I’m answering a listener question about how best to sit while chillin’ in front of the TV. 

We have a compartmentalization problem. We think we can get all of our movement done in 30 - 60 minute workouts. In this episode I'm talking about the problems that arise with this notion that we can compartmentalize our movement and sharing an alternative. Plus, I’m answering a listener question about relieving eyestrain.

Today we’re chatting patience muscles! While you won’t find them in Gray’s anatomy, we all have them. If your patience muscles, like mine, can use some strengthening have a listen! Plus, I’m answering a listener question about insomnia and trouble falling asleep at night.

Today we are wrapping up our “Mindset Month” series with a special edition of the Healthy Moving Podcast. We’re changing up our normal format to welcome one of the nation’s foremost yoga teachers, Judith Hanson Lasater to the show. She is going to help us eliminate the belief that we don’t have time for healthy moving. Prepare to have your mind rocked! 

This is the second episode in a four-part series for “Mindset Month.” Today we are changing how we think about heart health, and looking at the limitations of traditional cardiovascular exercise. Plus, I’m answering a listener question about what to do when you just don’t feel like moving. 

This is the first of four episodes for “Mindset Month.” We are digging deep into our thoughts to pull out the weeds that keep us from reaching optimal health, and then planting the seeds for a flourishing thought garden. Today’s weed is  “healthy activities aren’t enjoyable.” Plus I’m answering a listener question about why I recommend the untucking the tailbone and unthrusting the ribs.
