In this personal and science-backed episode, Dawn shares the story of how she went from fearing movement to embracing it as a core part of her reclaiming her health. What started as fear of flares turned into one of the most empowering decisions of her RA journey. You’ll hear why endorphins are more than mood boosters, and how movement supports your body’s natural inflammation regulation—no high-intensity workouts required.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why Dawn thought movement might make her RA worse—and what changed her mind
  • The exact shift that helped ease stubborn joint pain when diet alone wasn’t enough
  • How endorphins reduce pain, lower stress, and support inflammation recovery
  • Why movement helps you transition out of fight-or-flight mode—and into better health
  • What type of movement is best when you’re just starting out—and how to listen to your body without overdoing it

If you’re feeling stuck, tired, or afraid to move with RA—this is your permission slip to start.
