Episode Synopsis

No gym? No time? No problem. In this episode of Snackable Selfcare Soundbites, we’re breaking down why functional, weight-bearing movement — like lifting shopping bags or carrying your toddler — is one of the most powerful self-care moves you can make. Backed by science and zero sweat required.

We’ll talk about:
• Why your bones need you to lift things
• How sneaky strength boosts your metabolism and mood
• The brain benefits of squats, groceries, and laundry baskets
• How doing something is better than waiting for the “perfect” workout window
• And why that thing you’ve been putting off (like I did with my Mirena) might just be a 5-minute win

Plus, we start with a brand new Self-Care Reset to help you drop your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and breathe for a hot second.

Because your body? It's the goal and the equipment.
