The Power of Walking for Mental Health

ADHD-ish (formerly The Driven Woman Entrepreneur)

If you are finding it hard to fit exercise into your busy life, maybe you are overcomplicating things and engaging in all-or-none thinking.

In this episode of the Self-Care Series, we are talking about the benefits of movement, specifically walking. Our guest is Carolyn Cohen, host of the Wellness While Walking podcast and functional medicine health coach.

For Carolyn, walking is not just a way of moving from one point to another; it is an intimate part of the human experience, a bridge that connects us to our past and opens up paths to our futures.

The slogan “Sitting is the New Smoking” exists because most of us are considered sedentary, and the benefits of walking to our bodies, minds, and brains are almost too numerous to count.

• The woman who lost 120 pounds just by walking around her 1-bedroom apartment: https://bit.ly/4a4lDa5

Don’t even think you can fit walking into your busy life because your business is sucking up all of your time and energy? Have you considered working with a business coach who is also a licensed psychotherapist and has ADHD, just like you?

I am opening up opportunities to work with me for different lengths of time, based on your needs, goals, and what’s got you feeling stuck.

It starts with a no-obligation free consultation. I help you figure out why your business is not yet where you want it to be, and create a plan that takes mental wellness and energetic capacity into account. I call it “right-sizing” and it might be exactly what you need right now if you know you’re doing too much, but don’t know what to let go of.
