Most people don’t struggle with movement — they struggle with the mindset around movement.

In this episode, psychologist Diana Hill and biomechanist Katy Bowman break down the real reasons so many of us stay stuck in sedentary loops. It’s not laziness. It’s not time. It’s our mental patterns:

“If I can’t do a full 45-minute workout… why bother doing anything at all?”

This is the all-or-nothing trap. And it’s silently keeping millions of people from ever getting started. In this conversation, you’ll learn how to identify your personal barriers to movement, shift the way you think about progress, and create a more flexible, self-compassionate relationship with your body.

Whether you’re a parent, a busy professional, or someone trying to reclaim your health — this episode will help you stop waiting for the “perfect” workout and start making every bit of movement count.

• Why rigid beliefs around exercise are blocking your health
• How psychological flexibility aids in eliminating barriers to movement
• Why “not enough time” is a myth that keeps you stuck
• How to break free from perfectionist, all-or-nothing thinking
• How to build a lifestyle where movement happens naturally
• Tools from ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) that actually work
