They cover late diagnosis, autistic burnout, sensory overload in gyms, and the importance of clarity, adaptation, and small sustainable steps.</p><p>April shares how her path into occupational therapy changed after her son received an autism diagnosis, ultimately leading her to switch from nursing to OT. Abby and April break down the differences between physical therapy and occupational therapy, particularly when it comes to daily living, independence, and adapting activities to fit an individual’s needs. They also discuss how OT education often focuses heavily on pediatrics, with support frequently dropping off once someone reaches adulthood—creating a significant gap in resources for autistic adults.</p><p>The conversation explores late diagnosis and the experiences that can lead someone to recognize autistic traits later in life. April shares that while she was never officially diagnosed, she recognizes many signs from her childhood, including delayed speech. She also discusses how her son&apos;s autism was recognized early and how family support influenced the ways he learned to mask certain behaviors in public.</p><p>Abby and April take a deep dive into autistic burnout, including how it can show up physically and impact activities of daily living, routines, motivation, and self-care. April explains that recovery from burnout can be slow and often requires starting with tiny, repeatable steps—whether that means going for a walk, drinking more water, eating a piece of fruit, or engaging in a repetitive activity like using a fidget.</p><p>They also discuss how burnout can affect exercise, sleep, and meal preparation, and why baby steps are often more effective than trying to make a dramatic lifestyle overhaul. April shares why autistic adults may need a clear purpose and direct communication in fitness settings rather than vague instructions or being expected to guess what to do.</p><p>The episode also explores sensory challenges that can make traditional gym environments difficult, including bright lights, loud equipment, crowds, and the fear of being judged. Abby and April discuss practical accommodations, such as finding a quieter space, working out in a corner, or wearing headphones, while emphasizing the importance of asking autistic individuals what they actually want rather than building a plan for them.</p><p>Follow April!</p><p>https://adultingwithautism.com/</p><p>Referenced in the episode: </p><p>This Ability Coach: https://www.instagram.com/thisabilitycoach/</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2448390/support">Support the show</a></p><p>Pick up my FREE Workout Planner at www.endorfinwellness.com/free-resources.</p><p>And hey, if you like what you see (or hear), or want to drop me a message, join me over at:</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachabbyclapper</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoachAbbyClapper</p><p>Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more fitness tips and inspiration!</p><p>Cover art photo by https://www.jordantorelliphotography.com/</p><p>The information provided on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical or professional advice.

They explore how to redefine progress, the importance of self-compassion, and how fitness professionals can better support clients with invisible illnesses.<br/><br/></p><p>Dr. Bone shares his experience with common variable immune deficiency (CVID) and the long, frustrating path to diagnosis, which took more than two years and required multiple specialists before he finally got answers. He explains how chronic illness often affects the whole system rather than just one body part, and why it can be so difficult for people to feel seen when symptoms are treated in isolation. The conversation also explores the emotional and identity impact of chronic illness, including grief, uncertainty, and the process of rebuilding a sense of self.</p><p>A major theme of the episode is reframing progress. Instead of measuring success by rigid fitness standards, Dr. Bone encourages listeners and coaches to think in terms of momentum, autonomy, and realistic goals that fit the person’s current capacity. He discusses how recovery can fluctuate, why rest should not be treated as failure, and how self-compassion is essential for anyone managing chronic illness. Abby and Dr. Bone also talk about supporting movement during flare-ups, redefining what counts as a workout, and helping clients acknowledge even the smallest wins.</p><p>For fitness professionals, this episode offers practical insight into how to better support clients with invisible illnesses by listening closely, co-creating goals, and adjusting expectations based on the individual’s lived experience. Dr. Bone emphasizes that there is no single path, no universal workout, and no one-size-fits-all approach to health.

But like so many of us, her definition of fitness has evolved over time.

Toni shares how she learned to recognize when she was doing too much, how injuries and burnout forced her to pull back, and why redefining what a workout “counts” as has been one of the most important shifts she’s made.</p><p>We also get into the mental side of fitness that doesn’t get talked about enough. The pressure to always be doing more. The belief that every workout needs to be intense. The challenge of trusting yourself to stay consistent without going overboard.</p><p>And while this episode is rooted in fitness, we also touch on Toni’s sobriety journey and how it connects to the way many of us approach health. We talk about the tendency to go all in on something new, how easy it is to replace one habit with another, and why awareness and balance matter so much.</p><p>This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt like they need to be doing more, pushing harder, or proving something through their workouts. It is also for anyone who is starting to realize that feeling your best might actually come from doing less, but doing it with intention.</p><p>If you’re working on building a sustainable fitness routine, redefining your goals, or learning how to listen to your body, this episode is going to resonate with you.</p><p>Resources from the episode:</p><p><a href='https://amzn.to/3QFuESw'><span style='background-color: highlight;'>This Naked Mind by Annie Grace</span></a></p><p><a href='https://thisnakedmind.com/podcasts/'>This Naked Mind Podcast</a></p><p>Connect with Toni:</p><p><a href='https://www.toniwill.com/'>toniwill.com</a></p><p><a href='https://www.facebook.com/tonilentini'>Facebook</a></p><p><a href='https://www.instagram.com/imtoniwill/'>Instagram</a></p><p><a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonildaniels/'>Linkedin</a></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2448390/support">Support the show</a></p><p>Pick up my FREE Workout Planner at www.endorfinwellness.com/free-resources.</p><p>And hey, if you like what you see (or hear), or want to drop me a message, join me over at:</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachabbyclapper</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoachAbbyClapper</p><p>Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more fitness tips and inspiration!</p><p>Cover art photo by https://www.jordantorelliphotography.com/</p><p>The information provided on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical or professional advice.

With a background as a registered nurse and now working in fitness and somatic conditioning, she helps people regulate their nervous systems and feel better in their bodies, not just push through them.</p><p>We’re talking about something that doesn’t get enough attention when it comes to fitness: your nervous system. Because if your body is constantly operating in a state of stress, burnout, or overwhelm, pushing harder isn’t the answer and it might actually be making things worse.</p><p>In this conversation, we break down what somatic conditioning actually is in a way that feels approachable and realistic. We talk about what it really means to regulate your nervous system and how that directly impacts your strength, recovery, energy, and overall progress.

Instead of constantly pushing through, this episode offers a different way to approach movement, one that actually supports your body and helps you reconnect with it.</p><p>If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not seeing results, or your workouts leave you more drained than energized, this conversation will likely hit home.

And before you tune out because you don’t play croquet, stay with me. The lessons here apply to far more than one sport.</p><p>Croquet might look low-impact, but it involves repeated bending, balance, grip strength, weight shifting, and sustained time in a forward posture. Sound familiar? Those same patterns show up in strength training, pickleball, tennis, running, golf, and even long walks. When we skip a warm-up, we’re asking our bodies to go straight from stillness to movement without preparation.</p><p>In this talk, I break down why warming up matters for injury prevention, performance, mobility, and even mental readiness. I explain what’s happening in your muscles and joints when you move intentionally before activity, why consistency matters more than intensity, and how just five minutes can make a noticeable difference in how you feel during and after your workout.</p><p>I also walk through a simple, practical warm-up routine designed for croquet players that translates beautifully to anyone who wants to move better and stay active long-term.</p><p>If you’ve ever felt stiff when you start exercising, dealt with nagging back soreness, or rushed into a workout without thinking twice, this episode is for you.</p><p>Because whether you see yourself as an athlete or not, if you move your body with intention, you deserve to prepare it well.</p><p>If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who loves their sport but skips the warm-up.

This conversation is especially close to my heart because working with neurodivergent clients is an area I care deeply about and one that is still wildly underrepresented in the fitness space.</p><p>Rhiannon is a late diagnosed autistic ADHD personal trainer based in the UK and the founder of Not So Typical Fitness. She specializes in neuroinclusive training and works with clients who have felt overwhelmed, excluded, or misunderstood in typical gym environments. She brings both professional knowledge and lived experience into this conversation, which makes it especially powerful.</p><p>We break down what it means to be autistic and ADHD, how those traits can show up in exercise routines, and why consistency, motivation, and discipline can feel so hard for neurodivergent brains. We talk about routine versus novelty, sensory overwhelm in gyms, and how internal sensations can feel unsafe for some people. We discuss how neurodivergent friendly fitness focuses on autonomy, flexibility, and helping people feel safe and confident in their bodies.</p><p>This episode is for anyone with ADHD or autism who has struggled to stick with fitness, felt like they were bad at exercise, or wondered why standard workout advice never seemed to work. If you want a more compassionate, sustainable approach to movement that works with your brain instead of against it, this conversation is for you.</p><p>Where to find Rhiannon:</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rhiannoncooperpt/</p><p>Website: https://www.notsotypicalfitness.co.uk/</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2448390/support">Support the show</a></p><p>Pick up my FREE Workout Planner at www.endorfinwellness.com/free-resources.</p><p>And hey, if you like what you see (or hear), or want to drop me a message, join me over at:</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachabbyclapper</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoachAbbyClapper</p><p>Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more fitness tips and inspiration!</p><p>Cover art photo by https://www.jordantorelliphotography.com/</p><p>The information provided on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical or professional advice.

We discuss how neurodivergent friendly fitness focuses on autonomy, flexibility, and helping people feel safe and confident in their bodies.</p><p>This episode is for anyone with ADHD or autism who has struggled to stick with fitness, felt like they were bad at exercise, or wondered why standard workout advice never seemed to work. If you want a more compassionate, sustainable approach to movement that works with your brain instead of against it, this conversation is for you.</p><p>Where to find Rhiannon:</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rhiannoncooperpt/</p><p>Website: https://www.notsotypicalfitness.co.uk/</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2448390/support">Support the show</a></p><p>Pick up my FREE Workout Planner at www.endorfinwellness.com/free-resources.</p><p>And hey, if you like what you see (or hear), or want to drop me a message, join me over at:</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachabbyclapper</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoachAbbyClapper</p><p>Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more fitness tips and inspiration!</p><p>Cover art photo by https://www.jordantorelliphotography.com/</p><p>The information provided on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical or professional advice.

At nearly 90 years old, he still lives on his own, maintains a large home on 10 acres, chops wood, gardens, lifts weights, walks regularly, and continues to move through life with intention.</p><p>In this conversation, we reflect on his upbringing on a farm in South Dakota, his time serving in the U.S. Army, and the early adulthood experiences that shaped his lifelong relationship with movement. We talk about how decades of physical work, including time spent as a mechanic, helped build a strong foundation, and how staying active never stopped being a priority as life changed.</p><p>We also discuss what aging well truly looks like — not extreme workouts or chasing fitness trends, but consistency, maintaining muscle, fueling the body with enough protein, and continuing to move in ways that feel realistic and sustainable. My grandpa shares why walking is such an important place to start, why strength training matters at every age, and how even light weights done regularly can make a meaningful difference.</p><p>This episode touches on navigating setbacks without giving up, including managing aches and injuries while continuing to stay active. We also talk about the role of mindset, routine, and community, and why it’s never too late to start moving — whether you’re in your 30s thinking ahead or later in life wondering if beginning is still worth it.</p><p>This conversation is deeply personal for me. My grandparents have been my biggest cheerleaders throughout my life, and now I’m grateful to support my grandpa in this season. His approach to movement, food, and consistency has influenced how I coach and how I think about longevity, and I hope his story inspires you to prioritize strength, independence, and quality of life for years to come.</p><p>Happy 90th birthday, Grandpa!</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2448390/support">Support the show</a></p><p>Pick up my FREE Workout Planner at www.endorfinwellness.com/free-resources.</p><p>And hey, if you like what you see (or hear), or want to drop me a message, join me over at:</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachabbyclapper</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoachAbbyClapper</p><p>Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more fitness tips and inspiration!</p><p>Cover art photo by https://www.jordantorelliphotography.com/</p><p>The information provided on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical or professional advice.

I’m joined by Paul Wagner, a licensed mental health counselor, who breaks down the psychology behind motivation, mindset, and why our best intentions sometimes fizzle out faster than we’d like.</p><p>We explore why motivation drops off after the new year rush, the power of intention-setting, and how to go beyond the typical SMART goals to create goals that feel aligned, attainable, and meaningful. You’ll hear simple mindset shifts that can keep you moving even when the “sparkle” of a new routine wears off, plus how to avoid the all-or-nothing thinking patterns that derail so many people.</p><p>We also talk about what it really means to have a strong support system, and how to ask for help in a way that feels good. Our conversation covers navigating unsupportive people, food pushers, and those who always seem to one-up your goals, so you can stay grounded in what you truly want.</p><p>For neurodivergent listeners, we touch on helpful tools and strategies that support consistency, structure, and motivation in a way that works with your brain, not against it. And to wrap things up, my guest shares the number one mindset shift he wishes more people made when approaching personal growth, goal setting, and long-term change.</p><p>If you’re setting resolutions, intentions, or new routines this year, this episode will help you do it with more clarity, confidence, and compassion.</p><p>Connect with Paul:</p><p>Instagram: </p><p>https://www.instagram.com/paul_wagner_lpc/</p><p> https://www.instagram.com/psychedtopractice/</p><p>Website: </p><p>https://www.psychedtopractice.com/</p><p>Connect with Abby:</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachabbyclapper/</p><p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachabbyclapper</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwENBJ3ae13Cv0B41wtD2PQ</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2448390/support">Support the show</a></p><p>Pick up my FREE Workout Planner at www.endorfinwellness.com/free-resources.</p><p>And hey, if you like what you see (or hear), or want to drop me a message, join me over at:</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachabbyclapper</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoachAbbyClapper</p><p>Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more fitness tips and inspiration!</p><p>Cover art photo by https://www.jordantorelliphotography.com/</p><p>The information provided on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical or professional advice.

I’m joined by Paul Wagner, a licensed mental health counselor, who breaks down the psychology behind motivation, mindset, and why our best intentions sometimes fizzle out faster than we’d like.</p><p>We explore why motivation drops off after the new year rush, the power of intention-setting, and how to go beyond the typical SMART goals to create goals that feel aligned, attainable, and meaningful. You’ll hear simple mindset shifts that can keep you moving even when the “sparkle” of a new routine wears off, plus how to avoid the all-or-nothing thinking patterns that derail so many people.</p><p>We also talk about what it really means to have a strong support system, and how to ask for help in a way that feels good. Our conversation covers navigating unsupportive people, food pushers, and those who always seem to one-up your goals, so you can stay grounded in what you truly want.</p><p>For neurodivergent listeners, we touch on helpful tools and strategies that support consistency, structure, and motivation in a way that works with your brain, not against it. And to wrap things up, my guest shares the number one mindset shift he wishes more people made when approaching personal growth, goal setting, and long-term change.</p><p>If you’re setting resolutions, intentions, or new routines this year, this episode will help you do it with more clarity, confidence, and compassion.</p><p>Connect with Paul:</p><p>Instagram: </p><p>https://www.instagram.com/paul_wagner_lpc/</p><p> https://www.instagram.com/psychedtopractice/</p><p>Website: </p><p>https://www.psychedtopractice.com/</p><p>Connect with Abby:</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachabbyclapper/</p><p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachabbyclapper</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwENBJ3ae13Cv0B41wtD2PQ</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2448390/support">Support the show</a></p><p>Pick up my FREE Workout Planner at www.endorfinwellness.com/free-resources.</p><p>And hey, if you like what you see (or hear), or want to drop me a message, join me over at:</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachabbyclapper</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoachAbbyClapper</p><p>Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more fitness tips and inspiration!</p><p>Cover art photo by https://www.jordantorelliphotography.com/</p><p>The information provided on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical or professional advice.

Together, we break down what hypermobility and EDS really mean, how they show up in patients and clients, and why it’s so important to understand the difference between being “flexible” and having a connective tissue disorder. </p><p>We discuss the subtle signs of hypermobility that both trainers and physical therapists notice first, from joint laxity to frequent aches, and how those signs can easily be overlooked or misinterpreted. A big part of our conversation revolves around stabilization and strength. Many hypermobile clients think they need to stretch more, but in reality, their bodies benefit far more from strength training, joint stability, and controlled movement.</p><p>We also dive into how people with hypermobility and EDS often experience discomfort differently than the average person, and why understanding that pain perspective is crucial for both trainers and patients. Recovery is another important topic—because fatigue, flare-ups, and slower healing often look very different for someone with EDS compared to the general population.</p><p>We touch on exercise selection, talking about which movements or activities should be approached with caution and which can be modified to build strength without risking subluxations or joint pain.

Together, we break down what hypermobility and EDS really mean, how they show up in patients and clients, and why it’s so important to understand the difference between being “flexible” and having a connective tissue disorder. </p><p>We discuss the subtle signs of hypermobility that both trainers and physical therapists notice first, from joint laxity to frequent aches, and how those signs can easily be overlooked or misinterpreted. A big part of our conversation revolves around stabilization and strength. Many hypermobile clients think they need to stretch more, but in reality, their bodies benefit far more from strength training, joint stability, and controlled movement.</p><p>We also dive into how people with hypermobility and EDS often experience discomfort differently than the average person, and why understanding that pain perspective is crucial for both trainers and patients. Recovery is another important topic—because fatigue, flare-ups, and slower healing often look very different for someone with EDS compared to the general population.</p><p>We touch on exercise selection, talking about which movements or activities should be approached with caution and which can be modified to build strength without risking subluxations or joint pain. You’ll also hear practical tips on underrated tools and strategies that support joint stability and daily pain management.</p><p>Most importantly, we wrap up with encouragement. Dr. Cheryl shares what she wishes every hypermobile person knew about their body and gives empowering advice for anyone who feels fearful of exercise or discouraged by repeated setbacks.

But what if the story isn’t quite so simple—or accurate?</p><p>What if the very data that supports these claims is riddled with errors, myths, and even outright fraud?</p><p>In this episode, we explore:</p><ul><li>What Blue Zones are and where they’re located</li><li>The growing controversy behind Blue Zones</li><li>The real story behind Okinawa’s age inflation, and how WWII led to widespread reconstruction of records from memory</li><li>The shocking case of pension fraud in Greece, where thousands of “centenarians” were actually deceased or never verified</li><li>Why critics are calling out fabricated data, flawed research methods, and media hype</li><li>And finally, what the Blue Zones still got right—the timeless lifestyle habits that <em>do</em> promote health and longevity (and how you can implement them wherever you are)</li></ul><p>Whether you’ve read <em>The Blue Zones</em> book, binge-watched the Netflix docuseries, or followed the headlines, this episode will give you a more grounded and nuanced perspective.</p><p>Because spoiler alert: You don’t need to uproot your life and move to a remote village to build a lifestyle that supports longevity—you just need the right habits, applied consistently and intentionally.</p><p><b>Links &amp; Resources:</b></p><ul><li>Blue Zone Website: https://www.bluezones.com/</li><li>The Blue Zones Kitchen cookbook: <a href='https://amzn.to/42BNj4S'>https://amzn.to/42BNj4S</a></li></ul><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2448390/support">Support the show</a></p><p>Pick up my FREE Workout Planner at www.endorfinwellness.com/free-resources.</p><p>And hey, if you like what you see (or hear), or want to drop me a message, join me over at:</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachabbyclapper</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoachAbbyClapper</p><p>Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more fitness tips and inspiration!</p><p>Cover art photo by https://www.jordantorelliphotography.com/</p><p>The information provided on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical or professional advice.
