In this episode of the Seasonal Sisters Podcast, host Janice Saunders continues the A to Z of Wellness Series with the letter I—focusing on inspired, intentional habits that reduce inflammation, build inner strength, and transform your wellness journey.
Janice shares a deeply personal story about losing her grip strength, the fear it brought, and how intentional strength training helped her reclaim her confidence and functionality. She also explores how nutrition, self-compassion, and loving-kindness practices can reduce inflammation and shift your mindset toward empowered living.
This episode is filled with practical tools, personal inspiration, and a reminder that you don’t have to be perfect to start—you just have to begin.
