We are just over a month into the new year, and this means you may be one of the 80% who have already broken New Year’s resolutions. I’m here to tell you, it’s all going to be okay. And you don’t just have to take it from me – I have an amazing health and wellness expert who is going to break it all down and tell us why it’s okay if you abandon those lofty New Year’s goals. I first met today’s guest when I started teaching as a full-time professor. I was at an orientation, and a woman named Marnie Vanden Noven started talking to a room full of new professors about why it’s important to incorporate wellness into our everyday routines. I found myself nodding while she talked, and I thought, I hope I get to work with this amazing woman even though we are on the opposite sides of campus. Well, if you’ve listened to this podcast at all, you know I’m one of those weird introverts who somehow musters the courage to speak out when someone way cooler than me crosses my path. I’ve served on several committees with Marnie, but when I was researching her background, I realized there was so much more I didn’t know about her. Marnie received her doctorate degree in integrative neuromuscular physiology, exercise physiology and exercise science and has worked professionally as a physical therapist and athletic trainer. She also travels the globe as a professor, and has some incredible stories to share with us today about health and wellness from around the world. Marnie joins this special episode from across the pond in Belfast, Ireland, and she also tackles listener's health and wellness questions.
