Episode Synopsis


Nikki and Damaris ask the eternal question: Is exercise ever actually fun—or just something we’ve all agreed to tolerate?

In this episode, they dig into the complicated, sometimes inconsistent relationship they have with working out.

But they’ve also both had moments of genuinely enjoying movement—and they’re here to talk about what made the difference. From half-marathon training to hot yoga to neighborhood walks with kids in tow, they cover:

How accountability, community, and just a hint of competition can make workouts stickWhy your workout doesn’t need to be extreme to be effectivePlus: Making new friends at workout studios (or running into old ones!), and giving yourself credit even when your workout is 10 minutes of chair yoga

As always, it starts with a “fun thing of the week” that’s more heartfelt than usual—Nikki shares how donating muffins to a local charity event ended up reminding her what really fills her cup (and why giving back doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful).

If you’re trying to rediscover your love for movement—or just figure out how to fit it in without resenting it—this episode has ideas, laughter, honesty, and a gentle push in the right direction.
