Exercise isn't just another thing on your to-do list – it's a chance to enjoy moving and connect with your amazing body. Join Dr. Diana Hill for a warm and insightful conversation about self-compassion, breaking free from strict workout plans, and rediscovering the joy of movement. She'll explore how our thoughts about exercise can clash with what our bodies are telling us, especially during big life changes like perimenopause. We'll also touch on the real-life and emotional hurdles we face and how motivation, shame, our sense of self, and even grief can play a role. This episode is for anyone who longs for a kinder, more personalized approach to movement, that focuses on finding activities you love and weaving them into your day-to-day, rather than forcing yourself into rigid routines.
