Hey guys, happy Wednesday! Welcome back to another episode of Adulting with Autism. I'm April Ratchford, your friendly occupational therapist mom, proudly on the spectrum and raising an amazing young adult son with autism. Today, I've got a couple of furry co-hosts—my black and white cat, Severus Snape and the ever-talkative Peter Pettigrew. They’re here to help me dive into a topic that none of us love but we all need—exercise. And no, not extra fries, but actual exercise!
We've got a special guest today, Molly McNamee, an online fitness coach who specializes in helping individuals with high-functioning anxiety navigate exercise in a way that supports their nervous system and hormones. Molly's journey with anxiety and exercise is deeply personal and incredibly inspiring. She's here to share her story and some practical tips on how to get moving without making your anxiety worse.
We dive into why exercise is essential, even though it might not be the most fun thing in the world. Molly explains how the wrong kind of exercise can actually spike your anxiety and what you can do to avoid that. From baby steps to proper hydration, and even tackling sugar addictions, Molly's got the answers to help you ease into a healthier lifestyle.
So, grab your drink of choice (no judgment here), and let's embark on this journey together. By the end of this episode, you'll have some simple, actionable steps to start incorporating exercise into your life in a way that feels good and manageable. And yes, this goes for all you parental units and caregivers too!
As always, thanks for tuning in. Let's keep facing life's twists and turns together, celebrating wins big and small, and supporting each other every step of the way. Until next time, stay awesome and keep shining bright!
