Wellness In Every Season
Welcome to the Wellness in Every Season podcast, where wellness means more than diet and exercise—it’s about thriving across every part of life. I’m Autumn Carter, a life coach and parenting mentor, and I work with people who put themselves last on their never-ending to-do list yet continue to carry the weight of families, teams, and entire organizations. You are the visionaries, the change makers, the assistants who keep everything running, and the parents who pour countless hours into those you love. In this space, we’ll dig into what’s missing from your wellness routine across all eight dimensions of life—emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, financial, environmental, professional, and physical—so you can uncover the fastest path to results that sustain you. Each episode is a reminder that you are already the backbone, the catalyst, the leader, the quiet force—and here, you’ll find the balance, clarity, and resilience to keep creating impact without losing yourself along the way.

In Episode 113 of Wellness in Every Season, host Autumn Carter welcomes Lara Hiemann, founder of the LYT Yoga Method, for a rich and illuminating conversation that bridges the gap between yoga, physical therapy, and neurodevelopment. Lara shares her fascinating journey from growing up as a highly active triplet to pursuing a path in physical therapy and ultimately creating her unique LYT Yoga approach—a method that blends functional movement, brain-body connection, and the transformative power of mindfulness.
Together, Autumn and Lara explore the profound ways movement shapes not only our physical health but also our brain's adaptability and resilience. Lara explains how our modern lifestyles often reinforce poor movement habits and how reeducating the brain and body through intentional movement can unlock energy, vitality, and longevity. They also discuss the realities of adapting to life's challenges, including Lara's pivot to an online business during COVID and her family's evacuation during California wildfires.

Tune in for practical wisdom on embracing challenge, nurturing your well-being, and tapping into the limitless potential of your body and mind.
