Exercise is meant to support our lives, not run them. Movement is healthy—until it becomes something we feel trapped by, like forcing yourself to walk through a blizzard just to hit 10,000 steps. The goal isn’t perfection or numbers; it’s listening to your body and choosing balance over burnout.

We♥️Parents & Teachers! A huge thank you to for inviting us to talk to their parents and teachers about fostering positive body image, navigating picky eating and early warning signs of disordered eating in kids. Parents of kids preschool through 6th grade showed up to learn and ask some really important questions. It really does take a village, and we are grateful for the chance to join the Forsyth village last night.

Let’s be real. Your eating disorder is the unwelcomed guest that always tags along, no matter how far away you go. ED will always be sharing her opinions and directives, but you don’t have to listen! Part of the fun of road trips is enjoying where the path takes you and stopping at new and unknown places. And for the record, bodies still need food, even if you’re sitting all day.

What is one of the biggest recovery pitfalls? BUSYNESS. You don’t even have to say it- we know the ability to participate in activities that you have been missing is a very important step in recovery. AND… being excessively busy actually increases stress and risk of relapse. So parents, you may need to slow your kids down from jumping into the deep end with activities. And adults, you may need to pace yourself slower than you’d like. But trust us, it’s worth it.

So if you’re working on recovery, please remember:

Staying busy isn’t the same as staying healthy.

Productivity isn’t the same as progress.

And rest isn’t a luxury—it’s relapse prevention.

It’s January. The month we are all told our bodies need to be fixed and everyone conveniently has a “solution” to sell us. And it can be really tempting. But when you think about what you want in 2026, we hope you will shift your attention to meaningful things like relationships, joy and growth. 2026 can be so much more than a protein count.

This is your friendly reminder that it’s okay to rest. Put your phone down, take a walk with a friend, share a laugh with someone, or just sit in the quiet. Downtime isn’t wasted time - it is how we reset and recharge. Happy New Year from all of us here at Partners in Wellness. See you in 2026!

It’s mid-December, and I AM FEELING IT. So many details and so much planning, all while still managing normal life. But guess what? These worry thoughts don’t make me more organized, don’t make me a better mom, and don’t make Christmas better for my family. THEY STRESS ME OUT. If you’re stressed too, let’s just breathe for a minute. What really matters to you about the holidays? Let that guide how you spend your time, attention and even your money.
