From cardio to connection: how slowing down helped me move and feel better in midlife

In your 20s and 30s, movement is often about keeping going - more cardio, more effort, more pushing through. But in this episode, I’m sharing how everything changed when I slowed down, tuned in, and started listening to what my body actually needed.

I’ll tell you how qualifying as a yoga teacher at 51 reshaped my mindset, why mindful movement supports hormones and nervous system balance, and how walking, paddleboarding, and even open water swimming now bring me more joy (and better results) than punishing workouts ever did.

Whether you’re feeling stiff, burnt out or just disconnected, this episode is your permission slip to move in a way that feels good - and still gets results.
