No one wants an injury or a surgery, but when we have time to do life differently, there is always something that comes from it.” “All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.” -NietzscheResources Jen's InstagramJen's SubstackSober Sisters in St Louis SubstackMcDaniel Nutrition Therapy InstagramMcDaniel Nutrition Therapy WebsitePast Podcast EpisodesMy Body Science WebsiteThe Feldenkrais ProjectFeldenkrais Method WebsiteSupport the show
