🫧 Remember When Bubble Wrap Was Pure Magic? 🫧

When I was little, nothing delighted me more than getting my hands on a fresh sheet of bubble wrap. I’d sit cross‑legged on the floor, grinning, popping each bubble one by one—slowly at first, then in a joyful frenzy. It was simple, silly, and wildly satisfying. My whole body felt alive.

The other day, I watched a woman—about our age—popping bubble wrap with that same childlike glee. And it hit me: our bodies remember joy. Even in our 40s, 50s, and 60s, the nervous system still responds to play, pressure, rhythm, and release.

That’s the heart of somatic movement.

It’s not about “working out.” It’s about waking up. It’s about giving your body permission to feel again—pleasure, grounding, curiosity, breath, softness, strength. It’s about reconnecting to the parts of you that got quiet while you were busy holding everyone else together.

And the science backs this up.

According to Harvard research, mindful movement helps regulate the stress response and reduce anxiety by shifting the body out of fight‑or‑flight.
As studies suggest, even simple forms of movement can improve mood, emotional regulation, and overall mental health.
Additional findings from the NIH show that mind‑body practices support stress reduction, nervous system balance, and resilience during demanding life seasons.

Just like popping bubble wrap, somatic movement invites us back into sensation, play, and embodied joy.

And since you’re already here—already choosing slowness, softness, and reconnection—I want to invite you into something simple:

Share this space with another woman who needs it.

Someone who’s been carrying too much.

Someone whose body is whispering (or shouting) for relief.

Someone who could use a moment of bubble‑wrap joy.

Your invitation might be the thing that helps her exhale.

🫧 Who comes to mind? Bring her into our circle. 🫧
