Movement for Mental Health: The Most Overlooked Tool in Your Wellness Toolkit

Direction Not Perfection

About

  ✨ Weight Loss Wednesday | Direction Not Perfection Podcast  ✨
 Hosted by Lindsey House, RD, LD — Dietitian, Personal Trainer, Accountability Coach 


 🎙️  Today we’re taking a mindset-first look at why movement feels so hard for so many people — and how tiny shifts in your approach can completely transform your relationship with exercise. If you’ve ever said “I’m just not a workout person,” this episode will challenge that belief in the best way possible. 

You’ll learn how positive associations, gentle habit tweaks, and self-compassion can turn movement from something you dread into something that actually feels good. No shame. No punishment. No all-or-nothing intensity. Just a sustainable, feel-better approach to fitness. 

Whether you’re brand new to exercise, returning after a long break, or trying to break the cycle of forcing workouts that never stick… this episode is for you.
