Encore: Mind-Body Connection, Morning Routines & Mindset with Rich Andoh
Editor’s Note – Encore Release
This episode was originally published in March, but I’m bringing it back as an encore because its themes feel especially timely now. As many of us step out of the slower rhythm of August and into the reset energy of September, Rich Andoh’s insights on movement, mindset, and daily routines offer powerful guidance for clarity and resilience. Whether you’re hearing this conversation for the first time or revisiting it with fresh ears, I invite you to notice what resonates with you in this moment.
Episode Overview
In this encore episode of Movement Is My Constant, Rich Andoh explores how movement shapes the mind-body connection, mindset, and personal growth. He unpacks why morning routines set the tone for mental clarity, emotional regulation, and resilience, and he challenges the limitations of traditional education by advocating for experiential, embodied learning.
