What I Wish Gyms Could Be

I didn’t record this episode while lifting weights or balancing on one foot or stretching my hips on the floor. I recorded it while walking outside in Bilbao, Spain, past a fountain, toward the river, on a break from work. That detail matters.

Because this episode wasn’t really about gyms. It was about how my body responds to places, energy, sound, light, expectations, and pressure, and how I’m finally letting that information count.

For most of my life, I’ve assumed the problem was me.

Too sensitive. Too tired. Too overwhelmed. Too easily drained.

But what if the problem isn’t my body at all?

What if it’s the environments we keep asking our bodies to tolerate?
