Do you ever feel like movement is more about punishment than joy? In this episode of The Wellness Revolution podcast, I sit down with Saskia Gregson-Williams, founder of Grace & Form, to uncover how mindful movement can help you reconnect with your body, foster emotional healing, and transform how you approach fitness—especially for women in midlife navigating life’s big changes.

We discuss how just 15 minutes of mindful movement a day can improve flexibility, strength, and focus while helping you embrace movement as a source of play and healing. We also discuss simple, actionable strategies for incorporating mindful practices into your daily routine, helping you reconnect with your body, prevent injury, and embrace movement as a form of self-care.
