Episode Synopsis

Ever feel like you're drowning in your daily routine and can't possibly squeeze in one more thing for your health? In this episode of The Wellness Effect, Kira and Jensen tackle the myth that you need to wait for the "perfect time" to prioritize your wellbeing. From navigating third trimester pregnancy while running a business to managing demanding work schedules, we break down why busy seasons are exactly when you need those healthy habits most—and how to make them work even when life feels chaotic. Whether you're a burned-out mom, overworked student, or anyone caught in the productivity trap, this conversation will help you shift from surviving your busy season to actually thriving in it.   In this episode, you'll hear: Why we've been conditioned to equate "busy" with "good" since childhood—and how to break free from that mindset The floor and ceiling approach: creating flexible non-negotiables that work no matter what your day throws at you The nervous system connection: why rushing through your day actually makes everything harder Why asking for help isn't weakness—it's strategic self-care that benefits everyone The boundary-setting strategies that stop you from saying yes to everything Small wins that compound: from morning sunlight to celebrating the basics you're already doing right   Key Takeaways: Your healing journey is lifelong—there will never be a "perfect" time to start, so learn to work with busy seasons instead of waiting them out The floor and ceiling method: establish a bare minimum you can do on your worst days (looking out the window for sunlight) and a maximum for your best days (30-minute morning routine) Most people don't know what feeling good actually feels like because we've adapted to feeling tired and overwhelmed as our baseline     Want more from us?
