my Body can : putting myself back together again in my 50"s Podcast

Some days it feels like there’s too much information out there — too many courses, apps, and “must-try” movement plans. I’ve spent years collecting bookmarks, screenshots, and notes trying to find the right mix of ideas to help me move better, not just harder.In this episode, I talk about the different places I’ve been finding useful movement resources lately — from YouTube and Instagram to wellness podcasts, word of mouth, and even ChatGPT. I also share how I filter through it all without getting

Day 3 of my Body can audio edition!How many courses and exercise videos are buried in your movement plan graveyard?Mine’s full — old squat challenges, posture classes, fascia workshops, and foot exercises that I swore I’d do “one day.” So today, I’m digging through my digital folders to see what’s still worth keeping… and what needs to go.It’s a little spooky how much I’ve collected (I blame Halloween season 😅).

Day 1 of My Body Can audio edition!For months, I’ve had a simple movement plan that finally feels doable — a mix of weights, bands, and calisthenics that fits my schedule and energy.

In June 2025 I finally found a way to do exercise in a way that helped me and that I enjoyed. But there’s still something missing. I have resources for courses and programs I want to incorporate into that movement plan. How do I schedule these? I need a deadline! So during November 2025, I’m doing a 30 day podcast challenge (National Podcast Post Month) to talk my way through all of this. Hopefully by the end of the month I’ll have a good idea on what I can do next. I’ll be walking and talking my
