Why movement changes your brain (not just your body)

When did your brain last feel clear?

If you work under pressure, this matters more than you think.

High stress + lots of sitting don’t just make you tired.
They actually change your brain.

Over time, they shrink the parts of your brain that help you:
➡️ Focus
➡️ Stay calm
➡️ Manage emotions
➡️ Make good decisions

That’s why you might feel:
😶‍🌫️ Foggy
😫 Snappy
😑 Flat
🥱 Worn out

Not because you’re failing.
Because your brain is under strain.

Movement helps your brain. It:
🧠 Sends more blood to your brain
💪 Helps your brain stay flexible and strong
😃 Boosts feel-good chemicals that lift mood and energy

And this is important 👇
It does NOT have to be a workout.

Short movement counts.
A few minutes is enough.
Little and often works best.

This isn’t motivation. It’s biology.

If you work on the front line or in a high-pressure role, movement isn’t a bonus.
It’s brain care.

Try this now
💠 Stand up
💠 Stretch
💠 Walk for 2-5 minutes

Your brain needs it.

My Movement Snack Cards make this easy.
Simple, 30 seconds-1 minute prompts you can use at work, at home, or on the go (link below)

Time to Talk Day isn’t about talking more.
It’s about talking about the right thing.

The thing you keep pushing down.
The thing that wakes you at 3am.
The thing you tell yourself you’ll deal with after this busy period.

In my work, I see this all the time.
High-performing people don’t lack insight.
They lack space to think clearly and be properly heard.

That’s why I run Power Hour sessions.

You come to me with one problem that’s keeping you awake at night.
And I guarantee you’ll leave with one powerful, practical solution you can implement immediately.

No judgement.
No fixing you.
No pretending everything’s fine.

Just clarity, perspective and action.

So for Time to Talk Day, I’m making this easier.

Normally £97.
Until 9 February, the first 5 people can book a Power Hour for £79.

If this resonates, message me POWER HOUR or book via the link.
Because talking early prevents burnout later.

Wellbeing shouldn’t feel like another task on an already impossible list.

Log in.
Fill out a form.
Book a call.
Find time you don’t have.
Explain how you’re feeling...again.

When pressure is high, even support can feel like work.

So people delay.
Not because they don’t care.
But because they’re already stretched to capacity.

Burnout doesn’t happen because people ignore help.
It happens because help often feels too hard to access when they need it most.

👉 If someone is having a really bad day at work, is your wellbeing support genuinely easy to use, or only easy on paper?

This is the gap my work fills.

I don’t replace EAPs, Mental Health First Aiders, or wellbeing services.
I strengthen them, by making prevention practical, bite-sized, and realistic for real working days.

Small tools.
Early signals.
Support that fits into the day, not added on top.

If wellbeing feels optional or overwhelming, it won’t be used.
Let’s make prevention accessible before people hit crisis point.

DM me "LUNCH & LEARN" for more information on my bite-sized sessions.

A leader I know starts every meeting with one question:

“Who’s messed up this week?”

No blame.
No humiliation.
No eye-rolling.

He goes first.

Mistakes get shared.
Lessons get learned.
Systems get fixed.

That’s not weakness.
That’s leadership.

Because when people feel safe enough to tell the truth early,
you prevent burnout, errors, resentment and quiet quitting later.

In high-pressure environments, silence is dangerous.
Fear costs lives, money, trust and wellbeing.

Culture isn’t your values on the wall.
It’s what people believe will happen if they speak up.

Do your people feel safe enough to tell you the truth?

If not, it doesn’t start with them.
It starts with you.

👉 If you lead frontline or high-pressure teams and want practical, no-nonsense ways to build psychological safety before things break, my Lunch & Learn sessions are designed exactly for that.

Short. Practical. Immediately usable.
Message me “Lunch & Learn” and let’s start changing culture where it actually matters.

Let me be clear about burnout.

You cannot wellbeing your way out of broken systems.

If work is overloaded, emotionally demanding and built on people just “coping”, no amount of yoga, resilience training or wellbeing weeks will fix that.

Burnout isn’t just a personal failure, but poor boundaries, people-pleasing and always saying yes can absolutely accelerate it.

When those patterns meet unsustainable work, burnout becomes almost inevitable.

And yet, while organisations slowly talk about redesigning work, frontline staff and high-pressure professionals are still showing up today, carrying the pressure because they care.

So this isn’t systems or individuals.
It has to be both.

Yes, we must fix the work:
💠realistic workloads
💠fewer competing priorities
💠boundaries modelled by leaders

But people also need practical, in-the-moment tools now - not to help them tolerate the intolerable, but to protect their health while change catches up.

Movement. Breathing. Micro-resets. Permission to pause.
Not the solution to burnout - the seatbelt.

👉 Is your workplace preventing burnout… or quietly relying on people to absorb it?

If this resonates, message me to see how I can help prevent burnout in your organisation.

Most people think gut health starts with food.

It doesn’t.

It starts with movement.

Especially if you spend most of your day sitting.

Your gut hates being compressed for hours.
Sluggish digestion, bloating, low energy, brain fog… all common signs.

Here’s a 30-second Movement Snack that helps immediately 👇

Seated Compression Hold

Why it matters

💠 Stimulates digestion
💠 Activates deep abdominal muscles
💠 Improves gut–brain communication

How to do it

💠 Sit tall
💠 Hands on the chair
💠 Lighten your feet from the floor

⏱ Hold 10-20 seconds
🕒 Repeat twice a day

If you don’t have 20 seconds to support your gut, what’s the real cost of staying stuck?

This is exactly where movement meets gut health - small actions, done consistently, during real working days.

If you want practical, science-led tools that actually work at desks (not just theory), come and work with me and Rachel Crowder.

We don’t add more to your to-do list.
We change how your body copes with the day.

👉 Comment GUT or message me or Rachel to start the conversation.

Sometimes the fastest way to feel better is to pause.

When life feels busy, your body thinks it's in danger.
Your heart beats faster. Your shoulders tense. Your brain won't switch off.

But when you stop for a moment, you tell your body - "I'm safe."

Listen to this 60 second video with me. I'm sitting on a bench while out walking.

Nothing fancy. Very still. Very quiet.

I listen for 5 different sounds (don't rush it)

This keeps your brain right here, right now.
And when your brain is here, your body calms down.

Try it next time you feel overwhelmed.

What sounds can you hear around you right now?

These tiny pauses are powerful.
They stop stress building up.
They help prevent burnout before it takes hold.

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱, 𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 - 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

When stress builds,
pushing harder rarely helps.

That's not a motivation issue.
It's your nervous system in overdrive.

The fastest way to reset isn't thinking.

It's 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

Try this now:
90-second 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸
👉 Shoulder rolls
👉 Gentle neck stretches
👉 Easy marching on the spot

No kit.
No sweat.
No changing clothes.

This tiny pause helps your body:

💠 release tension
💠 calm stress signals
💠 brings your focus back

Do it with me.

Then notice what shifts -
in your body,
your breath,
your head.

Do you feel a difference after moving - even briefly?

Cue the outrage - but stay with me.

Walking supports:
• Mental health
• Stress reduction
• Gentle circulation

But your gut also needs:
• 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
• 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆
• 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘂𝘀

That’s why I’ve partnered with Rachel Crowder, a nutrition and gut health expert.

Because:
✅ Movement without the right nutrition = limited results
✅ Nutrition without the right movement = slow results

Together, we fix 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺.

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what actually works now.

Here's a simple 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸 you can try right now to improve your gut and give you a metabolism boost:

30 seconds wall sit
30 seconds rest
Repeat x3

Yes, your gut will thank you.

This is what burnout looks like before people go off sick

Emma hasn’t had a sick day in months.
But she also hasn’t had energy for months.

She works in a frontline admin role - absorbing complaints, calming angry people, holding everyone else together. She shows up… but she’s exhausted, foggy, and running on empty.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴?

Because Deloitte’s latest data shows this is where the real cost sits.

𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗺 - 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 £24 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿, 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 £7 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗺.
So the biggest drain isn’t who’s off sick.
It’s who’s struggling through.

Frontline teams become the 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 - present, but depleted.

That’s exactly what my 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 & 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 are designed to fix.
In one session your people learn simple 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼-𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 they can use during the working day to restore energy, focus and resilience - not after they’ve burned out.

If you want fewer exhausted people and more engaged ones,
message me “𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 & 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻” and let’s get one booked.”

You don’t need an hour.
You don’t need a gym.
You don’t need Lycra.

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 3 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀.

Here’s today’s Movement Snack (video below sped up):

💪 50 trunk twists
💪 40 knee raises
💪 30 squats
💪 20 shoulder taps
💪 10 chair tricep dips

In the time it takes to scroll LinkedIn, you could:

🧠 wake up your brain
😃 lift your mood
💓 get your heart working
✨ and remind your body it still exists

Do it once for a boost.
Do it twice in reverse for a pyramid workout.

Which one are you choosing - 3 minutes, or another scroll?

If you sit most of the day, your digestion doesn’t get the signal to work properly.

No signal =
➡️ bloating
➡️ sluggish digestion
➡️ “mystery” gut issues

Supplements won’t fix that.
Stimulus will.

Here's a 1 minute 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸 that will help:
• 10 slow wall push-ups
• 10 standing twists
• Breathe slowly as you move

This boosts circulation and switches your digestion back on.

That’s exactly why I’ve teamed up with Rachel Crowder, a brilliant gut health and nutrition expert.

She fixes what you eat.
I fix how your body processes it.
