Episode 11: Exercise? I Thought You Said Extra Fries with Jeff Chestnut

Hot Mess Help Desk by Lainie K. & Mya Ice

Episode notes

This week, the Hot Mess Help Desk brings in a special guest — Jeff Chestnut, our campus Fitness Center Director — to talk about movement as a tool for mental health. We break down gym myths and talk about starting small. Whether you love the gym, fear the gym, or avoid the gym at all costs, this episode gives you practical, shame-free ways to reconnect with your body.

Takeaway: Movement isn’t about doing more — it’s about feeling grounded, regulated, and cared for.
