Trying to prioritize your health while balancing work and family can feel overwhelming - especially when time and energy are in short supply. Most of us wrestle with fitting movement into packed schedules, guilt around "selfish" self-care, and the frustration of not seeing results when life throws curveballs, like injuries or illness. It's too easy to fall into an all-or-nothing trap, thinking if we can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing at all. This episode unpacks how small, consistent shifts in movement, mindset, and routine can spark real momentum - no matter how busy or burned out you feel. You'll learn new strategies for breaking through the inertia, reframing fitness as a tool for resilience, and making even five minutes count.
