I’ve just listened to a podcast that genuinely made me stop and think. Not in a hyped-up, “new year, new me” kind of way — but in a quiet, grounding, perspective-shifting way. It was The Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr Betsy Grunch, and honestly… I was surprised by how simple and practical so much of the advice was. The biggest reminder for me was this: We’re not broken. And we don’t need extremes to live better lives. So much of the conversation came back to the basics: - moving your body regularly — not perfectly - building strength instead of obsessing over weight - supporting your nervous system, not punishing it - making small decisions consistently rather than dramatic plans But the part that really caught me off guard was around protecting your back from pain and injury — because it wasn’t complicated or intimidating at all. Some of the biggest takeaways were: - prolonged sitting does more damage than we realise - nicotine in any form has a huge impact on spinal health - how you sleep (and your posture in bed) genuinely matters - simple strength — especially glutes and core — protects your spine - even a short daily walk improves blood flow and reduces degeneration It really made me reflect on how often we overthink health, when actually the biggest shifts come from how we live day to day. One thing she said that really stuck with me: you’re in the driver’s seat of your life. Not your past habits. Not your age. Not the story you’ve been telling yourself. Your body isn’t working against you — it’s trying to work with you. This completely aligns with what we talk about here in Radiance Quest: ✨ health doesn’t need to be extreme ✨ confidence is built quietly ✨ and a better life is created through small, intentional choices 👉 I’ve added the full podcast link below so you can listen in your own time if this resonates with you. I’d love to know: - What part stood out to you most? - Or what’s one small habit you know would support your body better right now?
