S2 Episode 6: Miranda Lee on Self Compassion in Gentle Movement

Gentle movement isn’t about pushing through pain or proving your strength—it’s about honoring your body and moving with kindness. In this inspiring episode of Autoimmune Adventures, we’re diving into the fourth tenet of our Big Six: Gentle Movement—and we’re thrilled to be joined by Miranda Lee, a mindset coach and yoga teacher who works with individuals navigating cancer recovery, chronic pain, and autoimmune conditions. Together, we talk about how to reframe movement with self-compassion, the pitfalls of the “no pain, no gain” mindset, and how even small, intentional movements can create massive shifts in both physical and emotional well-being. Whether you’re brand new to gentle movement or learning how to reconnect with your body post-diagnosis, this conversation is full of wisdom, practical tools, and hope. 💬 Topics we explore: How to redefine “exercise” when you live with chronic illness Ways to tune into your body and avoid overdoing it Mindset shifts to release guilt and fear around movement Low-impact movement options for joint pain or fatigue Building joyful, sustainable movement routines Supporting mental health through gentle activity Creative ways to make movement fun and approachable 🧘‍♀️ Movement isn’t about what you can’t do—it’s about discovering what feels good for you. 📌 Miranda’s links and resources are in the show notes. 🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe for more episodes designed to support your autoimmune journey. #AutoimmuneAdventures #FindThatPause #GentleMovement #ChronicIllnessSupport #MindfulMovement #YogaForChronicIllness #SpoonieLife #SelfCompassion #NoPainNoShame #MirandaLee #AutoimmuneWarrior #JoyfulMovement #MovementMatters
