What They Didn’t Tell You: From Core to Floor
When Slowing Down Becomes the Strongest Thing You Can Do
So many women move through life in a constant state of doing. We hustle, we achieve, we handle everything for everyone else, and somewhere along the way we forget how to slow down. In this conversation, Millie and Zoe get brutally honest about why slowing down feels so uncomfortable, why so many of us don’t feel safe with our own thoughts, and how we can finally begin tuning back into ourselves instead of running on autopilot.
They share real stories, practical practices, and the mindset shifts that helped them move from overwhelm and survival mode into a more grounded, intentional way of living. You’ll hear why the nervous system plays such a huge role in how we show up, why “deserving to rest” is such a loaded idea for women, and how to find the middle ground between ambition and presence.
If you’ve been craving permission to pause, breathe, reflect, and reconnect with yourself, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. This might be the sign you’ve been waiting for to finally step into your slowing-down era.

Dr. Millie Schweky: [00:00:00] Hey sis, and welcome back to what they didn't tell you from core to floor. It's your girl, Dr. Millie Schweky pelvic floor therapist here to teach you everything you need to know about your body. We're back with Zoe. Hell yeah. And today we're talking about slowing down. I feel like I've done so many episodes down this slowing down, but it doesn't get old.
Dr. Millie Schweky: 'cause I think we all need constant reminders. That we're human beings and this is human doings. I think this is the
Zoe Corin: thing I will have, I struggle the most to do myself. So whatever I'm saying, I have to take this on for myself. Okay, everyone hold me accountable,
Dr. Millie Schweky: by the way, same but not a hundred. Like I'm I rec, I consider myself a recovered workaholic.
Dr. Millie Schweky: I think we may have spoken about this before. Yeah. So a lot of what I'm gonna say is like, I'm not preaching, but I am speaking from what is currently working for me. And so with, I'm gonna share your tips with that. We'll totally. We'll totally dive in. Hustle culture is. Huge, [00:01:00] especially in America, and I think as women we get pulled in all these directions of I wanna be a mom and I also wanna be successful at work, but I also wanna be a good friend.
Dr. Millie Schweky: And we're just like, wow, we're pulled in every direction. We wanna volunteer, we wanna do this, we wanna do that. It comes to a point where I'm working with my patients in the clinic and they all come in and like I could tell that it's, they're walking into my office from like the middle of a crazy day.
Dr. Millie Schweky: I'm just like once. Stop along the road. You know what I mean? And they're like, can't even, I ha they ha it takes a few minutes for them to catch their breath when they sit down on the couch before they open their mouth. I'm always like trying to help them center before we do anything. 'cause I'm like, you.
Dr. Millie Schweky: So a lot of your work is, is out Isabelle Mindfulness. Yeah. And it's like, you need to be here now. That's not the words I use, but I, you know, I use my, I work my little, my little magic and I am able to break of the fairy dust. Yeah. And I'm able to like, bring people into the [00:02:00] session with intention. Uh, 'cause a lot of the time when we're doing one thing, we're just thinking about the next thing.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Yeah.
Zoe Corin: I think I have that issue.
Dr. Millie Schweky: I think a lot of us do, and it's something I've been working on for the past, I would say almost three years. I like kind of woke up to it and I've so far to go, but I actually have come a long way. It used to be, I think I actually told you about this once, that I ha I have like this illness okay.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Like a literal like thing in my head that I made up that I always need to be productive 24 7. I
Zoe Corin: mean, I think that's a kind of a common feeling for most, for a lot of women.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Which I, I mean, listen, I'm happy I don't live in that reality anymore, but when I speak to women in the office, yes I do. I do see it.
Dr. Millie Schweky: There's a mix, but it's very common. It's very, very, very, I tend to feel that way, and it comes from a different place for many different people. A lot of it is just like the way we're brought up. I don't even mean specifically like your parents. Like it [00:03:00] could be your parents, but it could also be the school you went to, the community you're in, inside.
Dr. Millie Schweky: You're a part of the people you associate with
Zoe Corin: making Aliyah.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Maybe Yeah. Me that, I
Zoe Corin: mean, I made earlier when I was 15, I had to hustle from 15 Wow. To like make friends and learn Hebrew and get their exams and
Dr. Millie Schweky: Right. So it's like go, go, go. And as a teenager, yeah, I totally, you know what? And I can't actually relate, like back in high school I was also go, go, go.
Dr. Millie Schweky: I think a lot of the reason I'm. I was like, that is because of the school that I went to. It was the standard of excellence. That was like their, like their, their logo, slogan, whatever. And, um, I was not a good student by the way. I was like totally a B student look. Do you not? I only, I only became a nerd in college.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Yeah. Once I, once I came, I on to college. Just
Zoe Corin: shows your kids. You don't need to work hard at school.
Dr. Millie Schweky: No, no, no. I definitely worked hard by the way. My school was just like, really, really? Challenging, like I had a B average probably, and I went to like the typical college that everyone goes to, and I was like super happy there.
Dr. Millie Schweky: But then I was able to rock that school [00:04:00] coming from a super hard school and go on to like a solid graduate program and then specialize in blah, blah, blah. The rest is history. But my point is that I was not like the most amazing student. Um, and I was always running from one thing to the next and feeling like I was stretched in a million different directions.
Dr. Millie Schweky: And that totally followed me into adulthood to the point where I really felt like I didn't deserve to just sit like what is just sitting. So interesting. Like what do you do? To use the word to that?
Zoe Corin: Use the word deserve. And that's exactly like women's, I would say as a stigma, women's issues, everything feels like we have to deserve something, but like whom?
Zoe Corin: Who says we need to deserve, what does that
Dr. Millie Schweky: mean? Or you, how about like, you are inherently good as you are and you could just do what your ultimate will is,
Zoe Corin: but like how interesting is that? I don't know if like a teenage boy, father. Do you think like teenage boys felt that [00:05:00] they had to deserve, so like, well here's
Dr. Millie Schweky: interesting,
Zoe Corin: here's
Dr. Millie Schweky: the classic.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Here's like the classic example. Like a husband and a wife are home together and the husband's like sitting on the couch, uhhuh, and the wife and the wife's, and the wife's cleaning up the kitchen and like you feel like resentment towards your husband for a second. 'cause you're like. Why do you think you could just sit and I'm here cleaning, but guess what, girl?
Dr. Millie Schweky: You could also sit your touchy down next to your husband and hang out with him and not clean this second. It'll get done. Is that comfortable? It'll get done. Listen, I think it's different for. For every person. But I think at the end of the day, the way I overcame it, which is what I actually started helping people do, is just realizing that you are deserving and worthy exactly the way in the stage, form, and shape that you're in now, and that you don't need to achieve anything to relax.
Dr. Millie Schweky: And so then if you slow down, I promise. Nothing bad is gonna happen. [00:06:00] If you keep running on fumes, you're gonna crash out and nothing's gonna go right. You're, you're gonna have short circuits all over the place.
Zoe Corin: Very wise words. Yeah, for many.
Dr. Millie Schweky: And when I learned to slow down, and for me that looked like taking on a little bit less work, um, spending more time with my children, which is ultimately what's the most important.
Dr. Millie Schweky: And um, and by the way, I was in a place where when I heard a woman say, like, spending time with my kids is the most important, I would cringe. Like I would have a visceral reaction to it. Like, what do you mean? I mean, your kids are always gonna be there. What about work? What about work? You have to succeed.
Dr. Millie Schweky: You have to like, that's crazy. I can't believe I used to think like that. But when you realize that you don't need to do anything. To deserve something. 'cause you are already inherently deserving, if you wanna say the word deserving, like you realize that when you're in a better place, things just kind of come and flow better.
Dr. Millie Schweky: I think there's also
Zoe Corin: a lot of fear around slowing down. I think [00:07:00] there's a fear of. What will happen to me if I slow down? How am I going to be, what am I going to
Dr. Millie Schweky: think? You know what's gonna happen? You're going to, you're gonna hear your thoughts, right? Which is scary. If you slow down, you're gonna start to hear your thoughts and that's actually a good thing.
Dr. Millie Schweky: It is. But then it's easy and for a lot of people, but for some people it's scary. We live in a very noisy world, and I don't think it's just the phone and the internet. I think before phone and internet. People had other things to distract themselves with their, you know, their, their, their life, their, their village, whatever it is that they had to deal with.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Like, there was always something like the, the human brain just wants to create noise so that we don't have to think about what we need to think about because it really could, you know, not feel good. But I think a lot of it comes down to feeling safety and. Doing nothing oftentimes makes us feel unsafe.
Dr. Millie Schweky: [00:08:00] When I was on this, the beginning of this journey, the exercise that really helped me was setting a five minute timer on my phone, putting it away, and sitting without a cup of water. Nothing, just like on the couch doing nothing. Not journaling, not meditating, not, not, not trying to get something done. The point was to do.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Nothing. And I remember the first few times I did it, like I panicked. I was like, oh my God, what? What am I doing? Like I couldn't, I couldn't function. Like what is gonna happen? I used to go to sleep every single night with a podcast on like, I couldn't. Be alone in my thoughts. 'cause I felt unsafe in that situation and I had to learn how to train myself that, hearing my thoughts, I'm in myself, I'm, I'm safe.
Dr. Millie Schweky: To the point where I have days where I crave it, I'm like, I just wanna do nothing for five minutes and close my eyes and tune. Into [00:09:00] myself and see how I'm actually doing. You just said it. Really
Zoe Corin: interesting words, tune into yourself and not tune out. And I think that's a lot of slowing down. We think about like tuning out, but that kind of, kind of is the opposite of what we're looking for.
Zoe Corin: When we like slow down, we actually wanna tune it. Right. And I've actually, um, I actually started recently to go see a therapist and we, we've been doing something called brain spotting. I dunno if you've heard of this. I haven't. And it's basically, you kind of focus on one point and then it's complicated and she explains to me what it exactly does to your brain, but it's like kind of reframing any trauma in your brain and like reconnecting the nervous.
Zoe Corin: System and the way you feel about it. I know it's very scientific, but my point is, is that you basically like sit and you focus on a dot and you kind of sit in silence and just kind of let your thoughts come. And the thing I felt the most was, I felt uncomfortable. I felt uncomfortable. I was like, I feel [00:10:00] uncomfortable in this space, in this kind of silence with myself.
Zoe Corin: And it wasn't 'cause she made me feel uncomfortable. It wasn't because the room was uncomfortable. It wasn't 'cause I didn't feel like this was a safe space. I just felt so uncomfortable. Stopping and thinking, and I felt like that is what is so interesting about slowing down and the breathing and we, what we are kind of in some sense trying to get you to do because we, us, ourselves.
Zoe Corin: I mean, maybe you've become much better there, but me, myself,
Dr. Millie Schweky: I'm, I struggle with it
Zoe Corin: by
Dr. Millie Schweky: the way.
Zoe Corin: I really struggle with that, slowing down and being like. What's gonna come to me? What am I gonna think about? Am I gonna think about how, you know, how I screamed at my kid yesterday? Am I gonna think about shit?
Zoe Corin: I've got so much I've gotta do next week. Like I've gotta get it all done today because you know, I'm going here and I'm going now and I need to unpack my winter clothes and whatever it may be like. It's our brains. My brain is so wired up. I don't even know sometimes how to slow myself down.
Dr. Millie Schweky: So it sounds like nervousness and [00:11:00] dysregulation.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Yeah, which is a lot of what I'm treating, like just bringing back to baseline and a lot of the whole thing is like my tagline on Instagram, which is like, you deserve to feel safe and empowered in your body. A lot of the time. We just don't feel safe with ourselves, which is crazy. So,
Zoe Corin: so I'm asking you now, yeah.
Zoe Corin: What are your main five tips? Can you think of five? One, like I threw out five. Five is a lot, but what the main, that's probably a good five. What are your main tips for people like me that struggle with slow down?
Dr. Millie Schweky: So the main thing I would say that worked for me that I tell a lot of my. Patients to do actually is the exercise where you set a timer for five minutes and do absolutely nothing.
Dr. Millie Schweky: For some people, that's too much. So the way I start it is to tell them to do their breathing exercises, which is like an exercise I give them. But in general, you could just do diaphragmatic breathing for five minutes, lying down and letting whatever thoughts come to you come without judging them. Like just let them come and it's like not a good thought.
Dr. Millie Schweky: It's not a bad thought, like just let them. Flow. [00:12:00] Flow, it's totally fine. Another thing is that you're not, your thoughts is lot parts of you, your your thoughts. Listen, am I a pink skirt? No. Want me all the emotion? No, I good. This is the point of the podcast. Like if I'm wearing a pink skirt. I'm not a pink skirt.
Dr. Millie Schweky: I'm Millie, right, and my pink skirt is my garment. I'm wearing it. So my actions and my thoughts and my behaviors are all garments around the essence of who I'm inside of my own self, and everything around your thoughts, behaviors, actions. Is you trying to protect yourself from anything that happened in the past.
Dr. Millie Schweky: It's actually what's called the ego, right? So if you wanna get a little deep here, we have our soul and we have our ego. I like to think of myself as a soul. In Hebrew. It's a, and everything or that I'm doing, like creating a personality, right? Um, doing things that maybe are defensive, [00:13:00] making jokes, like all these things I'm doing created at some point in my life.
Dr. Millie Schweky: I thought I was unsafe or not accepted, or not good enough or not enough, and realizing that that's not me. That's just like a really external part of me that I like created to survive. 'cause all of our brains are rooted for survival. So yeah, we always wanna have something, but when you start to peel it all away, you realize that the only way to see your essence, your soul, your whatever you wanna call it.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Is by tuning into yourself. And in order to do that you need to tune everything else out so you could tune in to yourself.
Zoe Corin: So it's interesting 'cause you're saying that you are not your thoughts. I think that's plus a part of you I think. Sorry, I'm getting all like emotion on. So apologize is so good. I like, that's kind of so interesting 'cause I think a lot of fear from.
Zoe Corin: Stopping is because you are scared of what's gonna [00:14:00] come to your head. But if you tell yourself that you are not what you are thinking and you are, and. You know, if things come to you that don't feel so comfortable, it doesn't mean that's who you are and that's what, that's what you are. Then maybe you are able to check into that part of you a bit more.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Yeah, exactly. And so like for, I'll give you an example. I used to struggle with anxiety, not like anything diagnosed, not like an anxious person, but like situational anxiety where like if I'm around a certain situation, I'll have my heart beating through my chest. All I could think about. I get like short of breath and I am just so uneasy at the idea of X and y happening.
Dr. Millie Schweky: So when the, when these thoughts would come up, I'd be like, oh, I'm not good enough. And then I actually internalized I'm not good enough. But then I got to a point and thank God I got to this point at a young enough age, like in my mid twenties, where I'm like, that's just a thought. [00:15:00] I'm actually amazing, but I'm having a thought that I'm not good enough.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Okay, cool. Let it be cool. Great. I had a thought. It's not me, it's fleeting. Tomorrow when my period's over, I'll think I'm amazing again. Right. It's it, it
Zoe Corin: keep holding the
Dr. Millie Schweky: thought. Having
Zoe Corin: it
Dr. Millie Schweky: go what you think is always changing. Your thoughts are always changing, your emotions are always changing, your behavior's always changing.
Dr. Millie Schweky: And we're so lucky as women that we have this. Cycle that we could kind of actually tune into and learn that we change throughout it. But always know that at the center of everything is just your essence. 'cause all these other things around you, it's ego, it's Garmin.
Zoe Corin: So when someone is trying to tune in, how do you tune in without getting overwhelmed?
Dr. Millie Schweky: It's a great question and I think like different things will overwhelm different people. I like focusing on something. So if like the doing [00:16:00] nothing is too overwhelming for you, I would focus on something. Um, I think working out actually is a huge one for me because I'm focused on one goal, let's say like engaging a specific muscle group.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Right? And I'm just like focusing. On that and it's very grounding and very centering and it actually is calming the nervous system a lot so that when you're done with the workout, you just spent X amount of time working towards specific goal. And then you could go on with your day a little bit more palate.
Dr. Millie Schweky: No, just more clear. Okay, more clear. You just like focused on something. And that's what you are, like you, so I feel like I'm not, like I'm, I'm being a little bit too abstract about it, but you just spent x amount of time focusing on, on one thing. It's kind of like a meditative state, like a flow state, creative state.
Dr. Millie Schweky: I'm creating a mind body connection and, and I have like a lot of intention behind it. And now when I move on with my day, I could set intentions better. [00:17:00] And I could just not get caught up in these fleeting thoughts that are coming to me and kind of be like, uh, okay. For example, let's say it's like the kids don't have is gone this day or school this day, and I'm, and I'm with them.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Like, what is my, like I could set an intention of like, my intention is to have a fun, memorable day, memorable day with my kids instead of Did you not think that was a, I'm not, I'm not good enough. I'm not dis enough. I know, I told
Zoe Corin: that was a cause is like. Like an expectation from yourself to No, no to do and then you over, do you know what I'm saying?
Zoe Corin: Not of Don't slow down.
Dr. Millie Schweky: No, not of. It's coming from a good place, not of, it's coming from a real place of I wanna have a good day with my kids. But I think when you set an into pension on something early in the day. Whether it be with breath work, meditating, journaling, like just picking something, it helps you set an intention for the rest of the day and then your energy kind of like realized to do that thing and you become less caught up in all these [00:18:00] thoughts that are coming to you.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Right. I actually think,
Zoe Corin: as you were just saying, working out, um. For me also is like a big kind of tune in, especially if I'm doing very solid, slow strength training. So if I'm like lifting heavy, going slower, doing wraps, like I get to really be in tune with my body. Whereas like for me, like a, you know, a Bat's bootcamp class, I'm tuning out.
Zoe Corin: So I felt like for me, I'm saying for me, which I'm saying like, so that's kind of quite interesting. Yeah, I think. Sometimes tuning can be sometimes what you tune out. It just depends, as you said, it depends how you enter it.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Yeah. I could totally tune in during like a high cardio. That's what I'm saying. It
Zoe Corin: depends how you enter
Dr. Millie Schweky: it.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Yeah, it depends. Like also, yeah, totally depends how you enter. Um, I love hill sprints. I love, I have a hill near my house. I just love running up it, walking down, running up, it, walking down. And I love meditating on like, I'm gonna be a little bit faster with each one. Crushing it. And uh, I actually use, what does that mean though?
Dr. Millie Schweky: You meditate on that. What does that mean? [00:19:00] Like my whole intention while I'm doing the workout is I will be faster than the last. So does that move into manifesting? Yes and no. I don't even love the word manifesting so much, but I do use it sometimes just because I'm not in the mood to explain what it means on a, on a deeper level.
Dr. Millie Schweky: It's, it's not manifesting, it's, it's more I'm setting an intention. I'm setting an intention, and I'm putting my energy into the intention. And where, where your energy goes, you flow. Like you could totally flow there if you're doing it.
Zoe Corin: I generally believe in holding energy and like the energy that's received that we receive and the way we give out.
Zoe Corin: And
Dr. Millie Schweky: it's actually scientifically proven. Like all, it was just proven with neuroscience, which is basically scientists catching up. So what the Kabbala told us, it's been in our psyche for generations and genera, like it's not new. Like, it's not new, it's just been proven with science. I digress. Um, if someone is feeling overwhelmed [00:20:00] by slowing down, that means they need to slow down.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Yeah. Like I would, I would just pick something to like put your phone away for, like, I would just pick something to put like your complete focus in each day. Let's say, I don't know, let's say you're making dinner for your family, like. Could you put your everything away for a minute and just do one item a day?
Dr. Millie Schweky: With mindfulness, if I am providing for my family, like who does I wanna cook dinner someone away, right? Like got the ingredients, put it together. Who wants this? She wants that. Sometimes you don't have a good system and plan and then you make it and they don't even want it. Yeah. But if you just like have the intention of like, wow, I'm so grateful to be providing a meal for my family right now.
Dr. Millie Schweky: I'm so grateful that I have a family to provide for. I have the means to provide it. First of all, your food will come out better. Second of all, they're probably more likely to eat it because of all the energy that you put into it. And third of all, if they don't eat it, you won't feel as bad because you're coming from a place of gratitude already.
Zoe Corin: Coming from a place of, well, I had a single garage shoot and [00:21:00] staring down
Dr. Millie Schweky: a lot of the time. Yeah. When you realize that you already have so much and that you, I don't wanna get too philosophical on here, but like you already have the things that you're looking for, like they already do exist. You just have to see them.
Dr. Millie Schweky: They have to become more obvious to you. Sometimes you, you end up. You end up just feeling a lot better.
Zoe Corin: I love your spiritualness. I take it with the, I don't wanna go
Dr. Millie Schweky: still on the show. Um,
Zoe Corin: but I think that's really interesting and I think when we are postpartum specifically, slowing down feels like it's something that's really impossible mentally and physically.
Zoe Corin: So
Dr. Millie Schweky: what, I'm not saying to take things off your to-do list. That's not what I'm saying. Right. Like, you're gonna have to get your things done. I think you could prioritize better and decide like what things could fly. I need
Zoe Corin: the mental real. I don't even think it's a, I don't think it's a physical thing. I think it's actually a mental state.
Zoe Corin: If you're slow down because you can slow down walking your baby. You can [00:22:00] slow down. I don't know. As you said, making dinner, like you can slow down. It's a mental state. If you felt, if you felt it slowing down. It's so beneficial and we're in such a hustle society. Where do we kind of draw the line between hustling and slowing down?
Zoe Corin: Like we have to hustle, right? Yeah. We have to hustle.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Yeah. And I could tell you for myself, I've, I'm, I'm at a place in my life right now where I mostly like the balance of how I'm doing it. Look, there's some days where I'm like, I work too much. When there's some days where I'm like. I could have pushed a little more, but the offset is not so great.
Dr. Millie Schweky: You know what I mean? Like, I never feel like I wasted a day and I never feel like I'm pushing way too hard. Um, so I would say that's a pretty good place to be in. Um, and how did I achieve that? Um, number one, I have, I had to like sit myself down and be like, what do you want? Like, what do you want your life to look like?
Dr. Millie Schweky: But like, really, like, it's, it's, yeah, that it's, it's like, like, really?
Zoe Corin: I get that. I think when I look, there's no real look at how much do I wanna [00:23:00] give of me to my business and give me to my family, but
Dr. Millie Schweky: not even like deeper than that for a second, like well to myself, like what do I want in this? But I think for me, that's very wrapped up.
Dr. Millie Schweky: But what do I want in this life? Like what do I actually want? I don't think we as women have like asked ourselves this. I actually had an emotional moment this morning talking about this. With a mentor and I actually was like crying. I was like, what do I want? And like I was talking about a specific situation and I was like, I don't know what I want.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Like that's crazy. Like how am I so in touch with myself? But I never ask myself what I want when it comes to,
Zoe Corin: I think it's too dynamic when I, to actually think
Dr. Millie Schweky: about what you want when it comes to this. But I sat down and asked myself what I want, what I want my day to look like, and then I. Chose like the top, whatever the number is gonna be different for everyone.
Dr. Millie Schweky: But I chose like the top three things that I want and I was like, okay, I'm making that my priority and the other things that I want, like I'll do whenever. Like, it's [00:24:00] like there's no pressure. Prioritize what you want. Like with work, it should be with you want what you want, like with your family life.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Like everything that you're doing should be what you actually. One, like you could choose, like we have free will. But I chose those few things and then I realized that all these other little things that I wanted to get done, I don't actually want. I wanted it because of like an ego reason, like, because it just makes me feel like I'm doing more and I'm busier, but I'm just doing so many more things and being ish at a lot of them, or doing what seems like less, but I'm doing them all so much more thoroughly and amazing, and I'm like embodying them and owning them so much more.
Zoe Corin: I think also it comes down to what do you want and what are you doing for other people or the way other people so that other people perceive you a certain way. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That is not it. Yeah. But I think as women, that is, yeah. We work a lot and I think, yeah, we're moving into a, a, maybe a era while we're trying to break that a little bit more.
Zoe Corin: For sure. And if I can speak [00:25:00] about our program and say that, like that's kind of what we are kind of trying to bring in with our program here, where we're saying, you know. Hey, this is for you and you are gonna slow down and you are also gonna strengthen, and you're also gonna work hard. So that's kind of the, the, the actual balance between the hustle and the slowdown.
Zoe Corin: And we, and as women, we do need that balance
Dr. Millie Schweky: for sure. So in the program, it's three, it's three workouts a week, and they're all a different way to connect to your body. One's through breath, one's through mo mobility, and one's through strength. And I remember when we were, you know, creating the concept of the program, we were like, oh, these breath ones are so boring, but they're so yummy, they're so delicious.
Dr. Millie Schweky: I like wanna just go back and do a breath one, whatnot. When, when we were recording them, I like, if I did this every day, I think I'd be a much better person. Yeah. Like they're, these, these connection pieces are so good where you just lay there and connect your breath to your [00:26:00] body. You. It really regulates your nervous system.
Dr. Millie Schweky: Like you're able to slow down. You're able to not have these flying racing thoughts. A lot of the time when women are having these flying racing thoughts, it's coming from a dysregulated nervous system. That is what it is and there's so many ways to calm it, but I just happened to be partial to the program, the program that we created for women.
Dr. Millie Schweky: So that it could be super accessible.
Zoe Corin: Yeah, and I, I, I hope that personally I gain from it as much as other people gain from it. 'cause I think as much as I could use slowing down, I think it's a really worldwide issue for women. And I think we all need to kind of slow down in whatever way that is for us and whatever capacity that is, that could be when you're going for a swim.
Zoe Corin: That could be, as we said, making dinner. It could be. It can even be on your phone. Like it can be on your phone. If you're mentally able to see it like that, you, it can be, if you're not [00:27:00] scrolling Instagram, you could be looking at pictures of your photos of your head. So it just like, so it, you know, we wanna kind of tune, tune in.
Zoe Corin: You know, sometimes when I look at old pictures of my kids, I do, I tune in because I'm like, wow. I'm so blessed and I'm so grateful, and this was such a special time in my life. So yeah, sometimes we can tune in in whatever way we want, and I hope that other women out there are listening to this and thinking, yeah, maybe this is my time, maybe I'm gonna do this with you.
Zoe Corin: So if
Dr. Millie Schweky: you're waiting for a sign, this is definitely it.
Zoe Corin: Come join me on my slowing down. So
Dr. Millie Schweky: era. This is definitely a different kind of episode. It was probably one of the most important ones of the season. Thank you so much for joining us and we cannot wait. Thank

Zoe Corin: the honest subjects to on honest topics to the table.
