Remember when summer meant barefoot mornings, sticky popsicles, and running wild until sunset? Now it feels like you’re stuck inside — overwhelmed, under-rested, and wondering why taking care of yourself feels so hard.

You know you should move, drink water, eat something green… but it’s like your body is begging for a break, and all you can offer is another to-do. Somewhere along the way, the fun fell out of it — and you miss her.

In this episode, we’re trading guilt for goodness. What if your body didn’t need another plan — just permission to play again? Come with me — we’re stepping outside, slowing down, and letting summer teach us how to feel alive again.
