How Movement Helps Us Through Hard Seasons with Alex Rutkay

Movement isn't just about physical health.

In this episode of De-Stress the Nest, Hannah Morgan talks with entrepreneur and City Mouse founder Alex Rutkay about how movement helped her navigate grief, build resilience, and prioritize her mental health during difficult seasons.

Alex shares how exercise became a powerful tool for processing life's challenges and why even a few minutes of movement can make a meaningful difference.

  • "In order to show up and be a better mother, I have to prioritize myself."
  • "If I can move my body every day in some way, I'm winning at life."
