Humans are ancient creatures living in a very new world.
Modern Bodies is a podcast about how humans became human — and how our past continues to shape the bodies and minds we live in today.
Through food, stories, and rituals, we explore the long human journey: how we learned to eat, gather, build, move, bond, believe, and create meaning together. From fire and tools to myth and culture, each episode examines the everyday forces that quietly shaped who we are — and why sometimes modern life often feels so different from what our bodies evolved for.
Modern Bodies is for curious minds — for people who enjoy thoughtful stories and want to understand humanity not as a problem to solve, but as a story still unfolding.

Join me as we reshape how we think about exercise—not as a punishment for our bodies, but as a celebration of what they can do.
🎧 Tune in now and let’s redefine exercise together!

Don’t Start on Your New Years Resolution Without Tuning In First!
The last 2 or so months of the year are the busiest. You’ve got Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve – Costumes, decorating, gifts, dinners, parties, happy hour, you name it. It’s never ending!
This is not the autumn and winter months of 200 years ago. Historically this was a time of rest and preparation for the demands of spring.
Its cold, wet and dark and instead of sitting inside, snuggling up with a warm drink in front of a fire with a book, we’re draining ourselves to keep up with the social pressures and demands of this time of year.
On this week’s episode of the WELL with Felicia podcast, we explore small, reasonable ways how you can protect your energy and keep your sanity over this stressful time of year.
Optimize your winter routine and start the new year feeling refreshed. Tune into the episode now and learn how to work with your body, not against it. See you there!

After you tune in, I’d love to hear your thoughts. How do you handle stress during the winter months? What changes have you noticed in your energy or mood? Share your experiences in the comments or tag me on Instagram @WELLwithFelicia to keep the conversation going.
