Reconnecting with Our Bodies

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly on the go, juggling work, family, and life’s endless demands—yet still feeling like it’s never enough—this episode is for you. But here’s the twist: what if I told you that our overwork problem didn’t start with our jam-packed calendars, our smartphones, or even the industrial revolution? It actually goes back thousands of years. And the surprising part? Our ancestors might hold the key to breaking free from the overwhelm and finding more time for what truly matters. 

I’m sitting down with Jenny Powers—a writer, scientist, and former athlete—who’s here to connect the dots between ancient hunter-gatherer wisdom and our modern-day overwork epidemic. She’ll share how we got here, why it’s so hard to step off the hamster wheel, and—most importantly—how we can start reclaiming our time, energy, and joy.
