moving your body without punishment: healing your relationship with movement

for many of us, movement has been shaped by shame, punishment, and control rather than care.

in this episode of made to dwell, we talk about how to heal your relationship with exercise and move your body in ways that support your physical, mental, and spiritual health. we explore where the “working out as punishment” mindset comes from, how to reframe movement as stewardship, and practical best practices that make movement sustainable and life-giving.

if you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent, felt guilt around rest, or believed exercise had to be miserable to be effective, this episode offers a gentler way forward.
