Episode 202 – Stop Stress-Sanitizing Your Life
We’re living in a culture obsessed with calm, as if stillness is the destination and anything that disturbs it is a threat. But bodies don’t grow that way. Neither do relationships. Neither do we. In this episode, I explore how our fear of stress creates more stress, how avoidance shrinks our capacity, and how conflict tolerance is the quiet muscle alot of us miss out on training. You’ll hear about how connection requires friction, why calm is the result of capacity (not the prerequisite), and how you build resilience in your body the same way you do in your nervous system: slowly, intentionally, and through exposure that honors your limits without insulating you from life.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jen Hosler.
I’m a bookworm, science nerd, and coach of all things movement (physical therapist and strength & mobility coach). You can catch me sleeping in & having a slow morning, doing CARs & lifting heavy things, or sipping a glass of wine on my time off.
Through a blend of strength & mobility training, I’ll help you master your movement & build a more resilient body that won’t hold you back from all the activities you love doing.

Have a nagging ache, pain, or injury that just hasn’t gone away? Maybe you’ve tried bouts of physical therapy or chiropractic care without much success.

That’s where I come in – with my personalized asssessment and 1-on-1 programming, I will tailor a plan specific to your individual needs so you can feel better and tackle your goals.
