Episode Title: Small Tweaks, Big Results: Why I Created the Desk Smart Online Course

Description:

Many freelancers and solopreneurs start their business from the kitchen table or a dining chair — and it works… until it doesn’t. Back pain, stiffness, and fatigue soon follow, and the “quick fix” is often buying new equipment that isn’t actually needed.

After 15 years of carrying out DSE assessments, I’ve seen the same mistakes again and again. And the good news? Most are simple to fix. That’s why I created Desk Smart — an easy-to-follow online course packed with practical, affordable adjustments that anyone can make in their workspace.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

✔️ Why poor posture is more than “just bad habits” — it’s muscle memory

✔️ The hidden costs of ignoring discomfort at your desk

✔️ Real client stories that show how small tweaks deliver big results

✔️ What’s inside the Desk Smart course and why it works

🎧 Whether you’re working from a kitchen table, home office, or co-working space, this episode will help you rethink your setup and give you practical steps to start feeling better today.
