Your goal today isn’t fitness.
Your goal is circulation, light exposure, and calming your nervous system.

Today is:
Recovery movement, not performance movement.

“Under-fuelled women don’t recover—they survive.” - Dr Stacey Sims
Nutrition isn’t trends—it’s tolerance, digestion, and safety. One of my favourite books is by Angela from Oh She Glows Oh She Glows

Winter asks more of us. More light. More warmth. More people. More kindness to our nervous system.
If your HRV is low, your mood is flat, or your body feels heavy—you’re not broken.
You’re human in a dark season. 🥰And you don’t have to do it alone

“The fastest way to influence your nervous system is through your breathing.” - Andrew Huberman
