210: Keep moving forward with Grace Moore

 

Physical, emotional, and financial wellness are deeply intertwined—but for many people, especially those navigating life‑changing health challenges, the path to stability is shaped by resilience, mindset, and access. In this episode of The Health Disparities Podcast, we explore what it truly means to keep moving forward with Grace Moore, Financial Empowerment Specialist, Founder, Speaker, and 2025 Movement Is Life Health Summit Speaker.

Grace’s journey began at 17, when she was told she would never walk again after waking from a nap with her left leg paralyzed. That moment forced a powerful shift—from “you can’t” to “I will.” Her story reveals how movement is not only physical, but mental and spiritual. Today, Grace speaks from the lens of the patient, offering a rare and honest look at what it means to live with daily pain while still choosing purpose, joy, and possibility.

Her work now centers on financial empowerment for seniors, bridging the often‑overlooked connection between financial stability, health equity, and community well‑being. Grace breaks down the barriers people face when navigating both health and financial systems, the myths that keep individuals stuck in cycles of fear or limitation, and the importance of language that uplifts rather than diminishes.

In this conversation, Grace joins Movement Is Life’s Hadiya Green to discuss what it means to build a life rooted in resilience, how mindset can transform the trajectory of one’s health journey, and why choosing to be “up and able” is an act of courage. She also shares insights from her upcoming journal, Graceful Movement, which encourages readers to embrace pain, honor their process, and give themselves grace.

The transcript from today’s episode has been lightly edited for clarity.

Grace Moore 

It sounds like a surreal story to say that I actually went to bed and I woke up and could not walk, but that is actually what happened to me. I went through years of misdiagnosis of the doctors really not knowing what was going on with my leg, and that what kept me. It just kept me in continuous pain all the time. I missed a whole year, a whole semester, I’m sorry, of my junior year in high school, but I was able to finally return. I continued in therapy. I still wasn’t able to walk on assisted. I was on crutches by the time I graduated my senior year, I was able to actually walk across the stage.

Hadiya Green 

You are listening to the health disparities podcast from business life, I’m Dr Hadiya Green, board member and public health leader and advocate. Today’s episode is one I’ve been looking forward to, because we are joined by Grace Moore, she is one of our illustrious 2025 movement is life health summit speakers, a financial empowerment specialist, founder and speaker whose journey embodies resilience, faith and empowerment. At just 17 years old, Grace was told she would never walk again after waking up from a nap or nightmare with her left leg paralyzed, she

faced a defining moment. After waking up, she was left with choosing to shift her mindset from you can’t to I will. Today, Grace continues to inspire audiences by speaking from the lens of the patient, sharing what life looks like moving forward, even while living with daily pain. She reminds us that we can choose to be up and able, rather than down and defeated grace. Welcome to the health disparities podcast.

Grace Moore 

Great day. Thank you for that warm welcome. I’m so glad to be here today.

Hadiya Green 

So I was hoping we could start by talking a bit about your personal journey and motivation. And could we start by you just telling us a little bit about yourself, how you came to be so passionate and active in this space of movement and the work that you do as a speaker.

Grace Moore 

Yeah, definitely. So my journey in getting into movement, actually, like you mentioned, I woke up, I literally, I went to school. I was my junior in high school, and it sounds like a surreal story to say that I actually went to bed and I woke up and could not walk, but that is actually what happened to me. I went through years of misdiagnosis of the doctors really not knowing what was going on with my leg, and that what kept me. It just kept me in continuous pain all the time. I missed a whole year, whole semester, I’m sorry, of my junior year in high school, but I was able to finally return. I continued in therapy. I still wasn’t able to walk unassisted. I was on crutches. By the time I graduated my senior year, I was able to actually walk across the stage. So but my that journey didn’t stop there. Every two years I had to be hospitalized again, and it wasn’t that I was being hospitalized to find a fix. I was being hospitalized because at that point, you know, the opioid crisis had gone crazy, and I wasn’t. They weren’t giving me as much opioid medication at home. So when the pain was that debilitating, they would have to admit me and admit me in order to manage my pain. So that cycle went on for several years. Every two years I’m back in admitted and they’re just trying to, you know, manage the pain. And I just got to a point that I didn’t want any heads anymore. You know, I had started a family, and then in my career, like I could not literally just be on drugs all the time. It didn’t allow me to be active the way that I needed to be. So I had to start seeking other ways. Like, how can I get my my body out of this pain? So I had to start listening to my body. The primary part in that, though, the most significant thing that I had to do was actually change my mind, because someone in the hospital, one of the not nurses, but the social workers, that was there, you know, she came in and had a conversation with me, and she was, you know, very encouraging sounding, but her resolution was just like, well, you’ll be able to get, you know, at your age, you’ll be able to get Social Security, you know. And I’m just like, that’s, that’s not a life for me like I got. I was in the marching band at the time and I gotta go. No, I couldn’t just, you know, stay there, so I knew that wasn’t going to be the end for me, and I had to fight for whatever it was that I had I could do to get myself out of there, coming up on the end of the first two weeks that I was there, my dad actually had come into my hospital room, and before he was getting ready to leave for that night, he asked me, he said, Do you want to get out of here? And I’m like, of course. And he’s like, then you tell God, you tell yourself, and you get up. My dad’s a Vietnam veteran, and he

wasn’t one that’s real huge on he not gonna, he not gonna pat you. He don’t put sugar on top. He gives it, you know, straight up, no chaser. So you want to get up, you get up, and we went from there.

Hadiya Green 

Thank you so much for sharing how that came to be, that you arrived at being informed by healthcare professionals that this was going to be life as you know it, and how the support system is so vital to assisting And you’re getting through these moments, right? So in life, I like to see this. Miguel Ruiz says there’s always going to be resistance. And clearly you had it within your body, as well as externally, from adults and healthcare people who are supposed to be trying to help you get back to your baseline, if not better. And I wonder if you can share a little bit about how this experience has shaped your life purpose and your voice today.

Grace Moore 

Yeah, so I think having to push through that, I had already come from a life for poverty. So I had a lot of dreams for myself at that point. We’d spent several years in foster care, my parents having drug addictions, but we were finally able to come back together as a family, but I just didn’t want to continue life as it already had been. So it’s like, I can’t let this stop me. And I knew that there were people who there were people who have accidents, there are people who who are giving diagnosis all the time, and they’re still able to make it. So my level of faith is like, God, you said, All I need is the size of a mustard seed. Like, what? What do I have to do. So I honed in on that so that I can continue to move forward. And a lot of it came from reading. A lot of it came from when I told you it, I felt like I had two choices. Because one, yes, I could just lay here in pain and I could just collect a check. What does that do for me? Who do I help with that? I had a daughter. Once I got married, I have another daughter. I was assisting with taking care of other family like I can’t just lay down. I had set goals for myself. So that option became not an option for me. So whatever it was that I needed to do, girl, you gotta get up and you gotta do it. And that became making a routine out of it. Okay, do, is it stretches that I need to do? Is it I gotten to the point that the medication became a part of daily life, the anti inflammatories, because we gotta keep the inflammation down and different pain meds that I could take at work, but that still wasn’t good enough for me. How do I get out of this? I also had asthma, so I started training. I got with a personal trainer, and even then, I would tell him, Oh, I can’t run. You know, I have asthma. I’ve never been able to run. I’ll have an asthma attack. He’s like, isn’t the longer muscle. I’m like, Well, yeah, he’s like, then we train it. So the first season I started working with him, there was a huge heel, and during the first part of the season, I would attempt to go up the hill, and I’m hyperventilating before I get midway. By the end of that season, though, I was able to go up and over mm. Yeah, and then come back, and I’m talking about running up and over. So everything became a training, whether it was training my mind a Porsche, it was a combination of training my mind and training my body. And then I also, I would journal what that looks like, what works well for me. I say all the time. Everybody thinks we eat Ranch, honey, I will never, ever, ever, ever, my body does not like it. It does a terrible thing to my body, the type of inflammation. So understanding our body is actually talking to us. If you have something one day and the next day you’re you just have all type of pain going on. What did you eat yesterday? If your knees are killing you, that what did you do the day before? So all different type of things.

If we pay attention to what our body did, what we did the day before, our bodies will respond and let us know I began learning about moving like the full body squat, and the benefits of it, walking backwards, the benefits of it, the different things that actually help build our core within our body, so that I can continue doing the things that I needed to do. And like I said, it really is a matter of will you have two options? You can either do it in pain, or you can lay there and do nothing and nothing will come of it, or I can stop focusing on the pain. I can do a little bit. I can do what I can, until I can do what I want to and I continue on with that.

Hadiya Green 

So one other question about mindset, because I think that mindset, you know, really drives the decisions that we make, even if the mind sex is from physiological or hormonal or experiences that have happened to us and have imprinted on our brain, or physiologically changed the way our brain is because some of these things happen so early on in life, or they’re so impactful that they can actually injure your brain and processing. But it seems when listening to you, you know, I had the sense of did to ask you about a mind shift, but it almost sounds like you are already embodied with a foundation that allowed you to hear the words that were said to you by healthcare professionals over and over again. However, you kept attempting to step forward, even when you couldn’t physically step forward. Where does that come from within you? Do you feel like that’s part of your own personality, or do you feel like that’s something that is a cultural thing within your family?

Grace Moore 

I think it’s maybe a combination of both. And what I mean by that is we come from this is how life is. And my dad also taught us those, those 10 powerful two letter words, that if it is to be it is up to me. So if I wanted different, I had to do different, being that he was a military dad. He was no holes, bars like there. There was no sugar coating things the way he was very stern, very, um, very like, well, we probably, we call him mean, you know, when we were younger, Dad was, you know that it was that he was mean, but it wasn’t that he was mean, it was just that this is how things are. He was raised southern boy in the south and life that he knew it his morals and values. I’m grateful that he was able to pass down to us. My mom was more of the softer one for us, the caregiver, the lover, so she didn’t she wasn’t as mean as dad, but I think that part actually came from him. We had no option to lay down. We had no option to give up. We had no option to not be great. Though we were in the south a lot, we would have good grammar. Though we were from the hood, you were going to speak appropriately. Our we read dictionaries, Lord Jesus, we read dictionaries, encyclopedias, the newspaper. That’s just what was instilled to us by by my parents, so that already didn’t allow but we were still like I said, we were in the hood. We were still in a poverty environment, and then having gone on to foster care and things like that, because that foundation was already laid now it is a decision that was placed on me on, how do you want to continue on? Do you want to still shoot for those dreams, or do you want to stay right here in this community that we are? I will say that a lot of us are. We’re. Subject to the environment that we’re in. And what I mean by that is is that when we’re not exposed to other things, we only know the 50 people that we’re around. Life is only like this one community that we’re in. So even though we didn’t have much, my parents still exposed us to other things, and from that exposure, it made me want more. It wasn’t the how you the kids

now are looking at what’s on TV and oh, and they want this Instagram life. It’s like, No, I do want to have a house that has a circular driveway, or I want to not have bugs. And you know what I’m saying it. I want it different than what we had. So because you want different, you make the choice. You’re given the tools now you make the choice to go get different. Yes, just because you are from this environment doesn’t mean that you have to stay right here. So I always you know, even as that child wanted to be able to go out, build up, and then come back in and see how it was that I would be able to affect my community.

Hadiya Green 

So I love it. You are integrating on a moment to moment basis. It seems that actually woven into the fabric of who you are the embodiment and importance of community and the importance of what you communicate with one another. I really want to go a little deeper into your emphasis on the power of words, and can you, and how do you encourage people to use language that uplifts rather than tears down you spoke a little bit about like being in variant circumstances, whether you lived in impoverished situations, whether you were in and out of foster care, and yet you still have this underlying basis of Thrive, driving and not just existing and surviving. So tell me about where that comes from for you and what that looks like, that importance of power of words and how you utilize that to encourage others?

Grace Moore 

Yeah, so I’m a woman of faith, and I truly believe in what the Bible teaches us, that the power of life and death lies in our tongue. And with that, I have been, I’ve seen. So it’s not just something that I’ve read, it’s not just something that I’ve heard, but I have lived a life of you taking what you say. We weren’t able to say try. We weren’t able to use the word try, whatever it is that you want for your life. I would challenge anyone. Number one, the Bible tells us to write the vision and make it plain, write it down. And then number two, and it’s not about it not being reality, just because you’re speaking something that is not, that is not so yet, it is about knowing that it can be. But if I focus on what’s not and what hasn’t been, that’s where I’ll stay. But if I focus on what could be, because I know it can, because everything that’s done, it’s already been done before. So if someone else has done it, and even if it’s something that someone hasn’t done, I’m an innovator. I can do because what the word tells me that I can do all things through Christ, who has strengthened me. So I think my faith plays a huge role in that speaking over what can and cannot be. You will not tell me what I cannot do. I promise you that is a huge fuel on telling me go do it and go do it now. But we were always taught, though, to be humble in it. Never needing to go back and say, I told you so. Like, I would never do that, because I know you’re watching anyway. So never needing to go back and say, I told you so. But to tell me something that I can’t do, I want you to just hold off and give me a minute. I may not do it today, I may not get it done next week, but it will be so because I if it’s something that I want to do, we will so writing that and then speaking that over yourself, it plays a huge role in the belief that you have it. It’s a difference in what you’re telling your mind every single morning when you get up. I i mentioned often that I would always say rain day is pain day, because if you ever deal with Arthur bursitis, or any of those cousins, you know how rain really affects your body, and I would automatically label rain day a pain day. Why do you keep choosing that rain day might be a little achy day, but it doesn’t have to be. Be a completely, a complete pain day. But if you wake up in the morning

and label it as such, sweetie, that’s what it’s going to be. So choosing to speak differently over how I wanted my day to be, choosing to speak differently and focus on what is important to me in life. I in our, you know, just transparency, I don’t even focus on the fact that I was told at 17 that I would never be able to walk again, because that’s so far gone in life. For me, I’ve overcome that, and it’s like, I’m on. There’s so many more hurdles that have come after that, and it’s like, oh, not being able to walk. What’s that? But what I did do with that. I have not fully run a marathon yet because I began to challenge myself. But I began enrolling into 5k and different kind of walks and things I do, walks and things like that all the time, just because somebody said I couldn’t, you know what? Let me do it two fold. Let me. Let me give back as well as cheer myself on on what I know I can’t do. And that has been rewarding for me and for others, to be able to help somebody else along the way like somebody might have given and and again, the doctor who told me that I don’t fault him, he actually needed to do that him pouring that salt that was just a little bit of fuel that I needed to get up. Because you have a choice, and the choice really can be to just stay where you are. But if a person wants to change that choice, you gotta write it. You gotta speak it. A lot of times you hear people say you gotta see it to believe it. I don’t. If you believe it in your mind and you can envision it, you can bring it to life. I truly believe that.

Hadiya Green 

So I love what you said about the narratives that we have for ourselves, or that we adopt from what either life has shown us or we interpret, or what people have said. And I really appreciate that you mentioned the cousins like Arthur and west side. This is what we know from research, is that when a doctor tells a person you have arthritis, right? You may have had pain or experience like giving out or anything else prior to showing up at the doctor’s office, but the moment that doctor says, Grace Hadiya, you have arthritis, your brain actually has this imprint and it becomes a memory, and you experience life forwardly with that, as opposed to, if I said so, it looks like you have this diagnosis. And these are the things that we do to work with people and keep them at their maximum functional capacity, so that it’s something that they are already moving forward and focusing on their function, let’s say, and not necessarily the pain that they experience from that. But we often leave as practitioners, people in that space of like, this is your doom day diagnosis, right? So I really appreciate that you touched on that for us and the these things sometimes can lead to communal or familial myths or misconceptions, and either on the part of the practitioner or the patient, and I want you just to touch on before we move into some of your work. What myths or misconceptions Do you often encounter in your own health journey?

Grace Moore 

I would say, Well, number one, the one that I described about asthma. As a child with asthma, I didn’t play in all the same activities that everyone else did because of the fear of me having an asthma attack. I didn’t realize that all you had to do was build that muscle. And honey, actually, yes, you can. And we’re not only going to play, we’re going to walk, we’re going to jog, and then we’re going to run. We’re going to build our way up to that. I think we, we often just want the the harvest without having to plant the seed and go through that process. So that was one major misconception to the fact that I would never walk again. What what data did you look at within

my records to make you think that because of where I am today, that I would never be able to walk again? Like never is such a huge word. What options are out there for me? So I like what you just said. When you just reframed how you said it to the client instead of, okay, this is your diagnosis. Well, that may be the diagnosis, but just wording it differently gives a little bit of hope. And sometimes we can hang on to a diagnosis instead of seeing what the end. May be like there are so many people out there that if, if we could just take the hope from it, others would be, you know, my my makeup, my body makeup, I’m a little heavier on the bottom than I am, you know, on the top. So naturally that not being able to change because it’s my natural build. Well, no, I can. I can bring those hips in, and there’s, there’s just different exercise. It’s us, not we don’t know what we don’t know, and just being able to get that knowledge from somewhere else that will tell us what we actually can do. I didn’t know that. I was, I was teased all the time about how I walked when I was younger, and that I walked with my butt stuck out. I had scoliosis. Oh, there’s a curve naturally in my spine, but I didn’t know what it was. I had never I hadn’t even received, I didn’t get my diagnosis for scoliosis until I was until I was an adult. But all that time, you know, that curve that was in my spine made me look like I was walking, you know, like a duck. And no, I’m that’s actually just how I was built. But from it being like that, I was told I would never be able to lie flat. Well, actually, the first time I did Bikram yoga. So going to sleep, nothing I did. I never lay flat. I did Bikram yoga the first time, for the first time, and I laid flat. It was so like a miracle for me. Following that once, I started seeing my athletic therapist. I don’t know what that woman used to do with my body, but she changed it, and I was able to lay flat. She would just do some adjustments. And I think it’s a lot in us doing the movement instead of, yes, we may have to medicate a bit so that we can get there, but it really does come with the movement. When I was when I had my spine surgery, realizing that I had to walk the same day that I had the surgery, how am I going to walk? Cuz in my mind, all I’m thinking, Wait a minute, you just, you just cut my back, my spine, like, how am I going to walk? But I think in health, we’re getting to the point now of understanding the benefit of what movement actually does for us. So, yeah, actually, day one, yeah, you awake now? You good, yeah. Let’s go walk. What? So I think us taking us, realizing there are other options, and just seeking those. I will never go with a flat out 100% this is what your diagnosis is, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Let’s let’s see what options are are out there.

Hadiya Green 

Thank you. So I want to transition us a little bit so we can make sure we touch on the amazing work that you are doing moving forward, and you gave us a very rich understanding of the journey that you have been on as a human being, and also as someone who has chosen to integrate movement in your Life as part of your well being, whether in response to the naysayers in the beginning of your significant health journey, as well as being part of the energy that you bring inherently to your own life and being, but also to pick up others as you move forward. So I want to touch on the fact that despite your life and some of these significant things that happen to you as a child, including the foster care and living with parents who have substance use disorders and having this significant childhood illness that has progressed to you, or having this real adult understanding of what being human is, you have chosen, not necessarily, to focus on Kids, but actually seniors in some of your work. So my understanding is that you do financial wellness with seniors, and how does this financial empowerment connect

to health equity and community wellness for you, and then to touch on some of the challenges that you faced in this work for us, and this lesson is learned? Yes.

Grace Moore 

Okay, so definitely, yes. Seniors are my niche. There they are, my baby life going full circle. So what I do now is that I actually help people, protect their money, understand their options, and make decisions. That is actually building real, lasting stability I have been in. The casino industry. I had a very lucrative career. I started casinos when I was 21 years old, went up into management and almost three years ago. So next month will be three years ago. I hung my head and I went full time into actually helping people. I’d watched for years, people give away their their life savings and casinos. And I love my casino career, but even though I had hit a financial goal that I wanted to hit as far as at a certain age, I wanted to be making a certain amount salary wise, I wanted to have a certain amount of impact, but it still wasn’t enough for me. I didn’t have the fulfillment. And God had placed in me something else that he wanted me to do, and it was to help his people. And during covid, it just became so much more widespread on how much we needed that help. So when I returned, once the casinos opened back up, God had already told me then to prepare. So when I returned back, when we opened up, I let my leadership know that it would be time for me to transition, and I would be going, you know, full time into doing this. And several years later, I was able to successfully do that. So there has been this, this journey has been a whole nother level of having to because now I have to experience with pain, wise mind you, at the casino, I walk every single day, right? Well, I’m on a computer a lot now, even though I had my office, then it would be on the computer, I was still around the casino, well, I’m seated actually a lot now. That really has an effect on my body. So when I’m thinking about the that’s that’s not even, well, that’s not even a question you ask, because that’ll get into a whole other thing on how we have to protect ourselves in the environments that we work in, so that we’re still keeping those joints, you know, and things like that oil. But yeah, so how I married the two of them together. I began taking a look at why we were needing to, number one, try to make that extra dollar in that way that we were doing. And I would go into buildings and things like that. And I don’t know how I initially got with seniors, but that’s where God led me. And once I started, I was being attracted to more and more senior, you know, facilities and things like that, and what I found was they’re not making it to the end of the month, or they’re getting to the end of the month, and they have overdrafts in their accounts and things like that, or, or they were being taken advantage of very heavily when it came to scams, and, you know, different fraudulent activities. Like, okay, how? How can I help? What do I need to do? I also noticed that life is life, and for a lot of people right now. So though a senior may have a son or daughter or a relative, even in the same city that they are, those people are often busy, and I noticed that they’re not getting the care that they need at this point, especially when it came to their finances, when it came to their medication, when it came to their ability. I mean, I’ve, I’ve seen them in all different type of situations, and it’s like, okay, I have to make my organization something that is going to be able to help them so they don’t stay this way. They’ve given us their life to this point, it also comes along. I’m a caregiver for my father. And I moved my mom back to Michigan last year, but being able to work side by side with them, being able to see the challenges that they were going through veterans became a huge thing for me by my dad being a veteran and seeing the underserved population there, the services that should have

been available to veterans, or the benefits that should have been available to them and they weren’t even aware of so my company is actually based on education, because I can offer you anything, but if you don’t fully understand what it is and what it could do for you, nine times out of 10, the moment you have an emergency, and my emergency is not going to be your emergency. My emergency could be the tire blue. Your emergency could be, you know, the the fridge went out, um, you know, depending on what a person’s wealth level is, everyone’s emergency is different. So what does that look like for each person? We don’t coupon anymore. We don’t save anymore, because who can save when we have overdrafts? So how can we get back to that point how we’re not budgeting anymore? I would sit down with them and I physically go over their bank statements. I promise. To I would say 85% of the singers that I sit down with have things coming out of their accounts that they don’t know what it is. Well, that’s a savings right there. You know, they don’t know what it is or where it’s come from, and that’s a lot of the spam calls and different things like that. So I build relationships with them. We’re 100% based on integrity there, the Trust has to be there, especially working with our seniors and then us being in a digital environment. Now, many of them are getting their bank statements and things like that online. They don’t know how to access them, or they they may have set a password, and, you know, they, they’re, they’re real generic with it, 1234, for pen numbers and things like that. We can’t do that, so teaching them different methods on how we can still remember a password but still make it secure so, and I’m not going to tell you know online, the different tips I tell, but I encourage them with giving them the knowledge so that they feel empowered again. Once they feel like, Hey, I’ve got $5 at least left over at the end of the month, versus being in the negative. That’s huge for them. Hey, what can I what? I had one client. He had me. He said, download that. Amazon out for me. No, we’re not going to spend it as soon as we get it. You know, I love, I love the relationship I’ve been able to build, you know, with my seniors, and I think it’s important that once we are able to help build them in one area, it strengthens them the empowerment that they get back. It helps them be able to their wellness is better, like the physical, the health and things like that that gets better because they’re not stressed all day long, right? Stress plays a huge role, huge, huge role on our bodies. So being able to remove some of that stress from them, so it kind of all mirrored together. It was just starting to go in and then seeing the different things that they were being affected by. How can we bundle this and then what other parties can we get involved to help in all of these different areas that’s more great solutions?

Hadiya Green 

Well, we have come to the end of our conversation, but I do not want us to leave without talking about your upcoming book. One of the things that you’ve said is that our words are like seeds, and you touched on seeds earlier when we were speaking. So I wanted to kind of full circle, to use your words back to that you the book you have coming out graceful movement, a journal that challenges readers to embrace pain and give themselves grace. What can readers expect from this project? And if you could just leave in one minute or less a final call to action for our listeners today, that would be amazing.

Yeah, so graceful movement is that journal. There’s no start and there’s no end to it. So there it is. You come in at whatever space that you are in, and that is the hope that we can be able to meet you where you are. So it is being able to journal so that we begin to recognize patterns on what you’re going through. So if you’re having pain today, realizing what may have happened yesterday. There’s quotes all throughout there is there are challenges, because it’s not a pat you on the back. I got that part, you know, from daddy. It’s not a pat you on the back. And we don’t have to do anything. But what can we do today? Because, in all honesty, some people may be at a point that know what grace. I really can’t do that, and that’s fine, but let’s see what we can do today. So listing what that is, there are all different type of books that are in there. There are different type of exercises, stretches, and different things that we can do that’s like, you know, minimal impact, just to get some movement going. But the huge encouragement in it is you beginning to write so that you’re tracking what’s going on. And then that person can even take that journal into their doctor and show them what patterns that they see, and be able to work with their doctors on a holistic side, on seeing what things are going on. So we’re just it’s at the Library of Congress right now. You know, the shutdown kind of had things held up on that end, but hopefully by next month, we’ll be able to put it in production.
