Are your workouts helping you, or secretly making your stress worse? In this episode of Aligned to Rise, I’m joined by Molly McNamee, fitness and hormone health coach, to unpack the powerful connection between stress, your nervous system, and the way you exercise.

We’ll dive into:
✔ Why chronic stress sabotages your health goals (and how to spot the signs)
✔ The surprising ways workouts can impact your hormones and cortisol levels
✔ How to choose the right exercise for YOUR body and nervous system
✔ Why “less is more” when it comes to fitness and stress relief
✔ Practical tips to support hormone balance and stress recovery through movement

If you’ve been working out harder and harder but still feel bloated, tired, or stuck, this conversation will change the way you approach fitness forever.
