In this empowering and practical session, Dr. Mallory Quinn blends behavior science, radical honesty, and compassion to dismantle toxic movement myths and redefine exercise as a sustainable act of self-respect. Attendees will explore how to embed movement into their daily lives using ABA-based strategies that prioritize regulation, values, and reinforcement over willpower. This isn't about chasing fitness success; it's about building a body that feels like home.
