In this powerful conversation, I sit down with author, speaker, and health strategist David Amerland to explore how lasting wellness is built on mindset, movement, and meaning. Together, we break down the neuroscience behind motivation, the real reason small habits work, and why moms need to drop the guilt and start choosing themselves with guidance, not guilt.

David shares insights from his latest book, Built to Last: How to Get Stronger, Healthier, and Happier at Every Stage of Life, and how short, consistent efforts in movement and nutrition can radically improve long-term health outcomes. They also touch on muscle-building, measuring success beyond weight, and the life-changing power of having a purpose.

🧠 Topics We Cover:

• Mindset shifts for new mothers
• How guilt blocks change and how to override it
• The neuroscience of motivation and planning
• How short workouts create big shifts
• The truth about sedentary living vs. smoking risks
• The role of muscle mass and nutrition in aging well
• Using waist-to-hip ratio, not weight, as a progress metric
• Why purpose matters more than perfection

In this episode, I’m sharing something I’ve been loving in my own routine lately mobility work and why it might be the missing piece in your wellness journey. Whether you're lifting weights, chasing your kids, or just trying to stay pain-free and active as you age, mobility is non-negotiable. I’ll explain the difference between mobility and flexibility, why it's essential for long-term health, and how to easily incorporate it into your day even if you’re short on time. This is your invitation to unlock better movement and prevent those little aches before they become big problems.

🎧 What You’ll Learn:

• The difference between mobility and flexibility (and why both matter)
• How poor mobility leads to pain and injuries over time
• The benefits of mobility for strength, posture, and longevity
• My favorite simple ways to start improving your mobility in 10 minutes or less
• Why mobility is a daily habit, not just a “warm-up” or recovery tool

🔥 Key Takeaway:
Mobility work is one of the most underrated forms of self-care and when you commit to it, your workouts feel better, your recovery improves, and everyday life gets easier.
