I know firsthand—OY is inevitable, but JOY is a choice. And I’m here to help you choose JOY!

We’ll cover everything from your posture to your peeps, your hands and feet to your beliefs, and your eats to your weak cheeks (yes, THOSE cheeks.) Together, we’ll kick OY upside its ugly assets and reclaim your JOY!

You can cut salt, chase supplements, and blame menopause... or you can face the truth: You’re eating way too much and moving way too little. But JOYfully, it’s not too late to tweak your way out of the OY!

In this sassy and loving slap upside your fine young assets, I expose the real root of your fatigue, inflammation, and jiggly parts: hypokinetic disease—aka ailments caused by sitting on your butt too much. And guess what? This isn't new. Maimonides said it 900 years ago: “Overeating is equivalent to ingesting poison.” 🎤💥

We dive into:

• The overlooked dangers of OYverfeeding and undermoving
• The long list of diseases you might be “earning” from inactivity
• Why your metabolism isn’t broken—your movement is
• 12ish Tiny Tweaks to reverse damage and reclaim your JOY
• And yes… a mic drop moment from the one and only Maimonides

⚠️ This episode might sting a little—but only because it’s packed with truth, sass, and the kind of tough love your doctor, influencer, and mirror won’t give you.

Plus, a sneak peek at next week’s Lazy Cow Quiz—the only quiz you WANT to fail.

*I'm aware that I made a numerical oopsie with the tweak counting, but isn't that the beauty of not having to be perfect as well as using the suffix "ish"?

Welcome back, JOYster! In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, I’m dishing out life lessons straight from my brindle-coated, counter-surfing, couch-cuddling, stair-conquering retired racing Greyhound—Butch. That’s right, the 4-legged life coach who trotted into my world mid-pandemic and flipped it in the best way possible.

Today, you’ll get a sneak peek into a few favorite lessons from my upcoming book More JOY Less OY: Life Lessons from Butch – 52ish Tiny Tweaks to Move, Feel, Look & Live Better. From chasing squirrels (real and metaphorical) to healing fast, living full out, and reinventing yourself—Butch has wisdom to share whether or not you’re a dog person.

You’ll also pick up 10ish tiny but mighty tweaks inspired by Butch’s journey—from climbing stairs like a champ and easing into your car without moaning, to learning a new lingo, eating real food, and yes, slowing down that feeding frenzy. (Spoiler: You’re probably thirsty, not starving.)

This episode is filled with humor, healing, and motivation to help you move, feel, and live with more JOY and less OY. So press play and remember—you can’t chase two squirrels at once.

So yeah… PAIN.
It’s not just four annoying letters strung together.
It’s a signal. A spark. A slap and a hug rolled into one.

And no, I didn’t coin the phrase PAIN is a gift—but now I truly believe it.
Capital letters and all.
Wanna know why it’s capitalized? You’ll find out.

Up until now, I’ve been as sweet as a slice of yummy peanut butter pie.
But this episode?
It’s the swift kick upside your (fine young) assets
that even your doctor, your BFF, and your mirror are afraid to give you.
But guess what? I’m not.
Because someone’s gotta tell you the truth—JOYfully.

Keep listening. To your body. Your gut. Your gorgeous, glitchy, glorious self.
This episode shows you how to do just that—how to actually listen to you.
Tiny Tweaks lead to big shifts.
And big shifts? They bring the JOY.

Now go move something. Feel something.
And remember: You’re not broken.
You’re becoming the full-fledged JOYster you are meant to be!
