Kim Goodrich joined us at the 2025 EDS ECHO Summit: Mental Health event to discuss Moving into Joy: Hobbies for Stress Relief, Strength, and Energy Renewal. Living with EDS means navigating pain, fatigue, and unpredictability, and movement can feel complicated—too much or the wrong kind makes things worse, but the right kind can actually restore energy, regulate stress, and even feel joyful. In this presentation, Kim shares how hobbies that weave in movement and music aren’t just leisure activities, but powerful tools for identity, resilience, and nervous system regulation.
