If you’ve ever walked past a mirror and thought, “I would look so much better if I could just sit up straight,” this episode is for you. Today we’re getting real about posture — what it is, what it isn’t, and why simply “sitting up straight” doesn’t solve your rounded shoulders, forward head posture, or that dreaded tech-neck hump.

As moms, our daily routines, workspaces, feeding stations, and even our kitchens train our bodies into rounded shapes. In this episode, I break down the real root cause of posture challenges, including tight front-body muscles, weak back-body endurance, and environments that work against us. You’ll learn practical ways to stretch, strengthen, and set up your home and work routines to support the posture you want, not the one you’ve accidentally trained.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why correcting your posture never lasts
• How your home, office, and daily routines reinforce forward head posture
• The truth about tight pecs, rounded shoulders, and postural muscle fatigue
• The two-part fix: opening the front body + strengthening the back body
• Simple exercises to build posture endurance
• Real-life mom examples (nursing, driving, cooking, bath time, office work)
• A 5-minute daily routine to start retraining your posture today
