In this episode we explore the relationship between movement and the anxious nervous system.

Not all exercise is regulating.
Not all intensity is helpful.
And sometimes, the “healthy habit” can quietly stack stress instead of release it.

We talk about:
 ✨ Why movement metabolises stress hormones
 ✨ When high-intensity training can worsen anxiety
 ✨ How music and environment affect your nervous system
 ✨ Matching movement to your personality type
 ✨ Why dancing in your kitchen absolutely counts

This episode is about removing pressure and rediscovering movement as medicine, not punishment.
