(And why you’ll want to listen while trysting on the trail or folding your laundry)
Tired of feeling like an OYster when deep down you know you were meant to be a JOYster? Wish you had less stress, less pain, and maybe—just maybe—a little less jiggle in your wiggle? How about a sharper brain, a stronger booty, and a whole lot more confidence?
If your head’s nodding faster than your hips on Zumba night, you’re in the right place. Welcome to More JOY Less OY—my brand-new, bite-sized podcast designed to help you feel, move, look, and live in full-on amazingness.
I’m Bethanne Weiss, B.S.—ACE Certified Fitness, Nutrition & Behavior-change specialist, author of Move Your Assets: From the Chair, Not the Bank, wellness warrior, and motivational speaker who has helped a gazillion peops (including myself!) go from "OY vey" to "heck yes!"
Trust me, I GET IT. I’ve battled chronic pain, dizziness and balance issues, fatigue, caregiver burnout, an eating disorder, and feet that belong on a rotisserie chicken (yep, true story.) I know firsthand: OY is inevitable, but JOY? That’s a choice. And I’m here to help you choose it—one tiny tweak at a time.
Each episode is less than 20ish minutes, so you can listen while you’re walking the dog, wandering your neighborhood (hi, JOYsters on the trail!,) folding laundry, or even while pretending to clean your kitchen. You can totally listen in the car too—and if you haven’t yet, check out Episode 5 10ish Tiny Tweaks in the Car for some simple, sanity-saving driving posture tips (because your booty deserves better than a bucket seat slump.) Think of it as your weekly JOY jolt—short, actionable, and never boring.
Here’s what we have already dished out:
🎙️ Episode 1 – Welcome Soon-to-Be JOYster - A fun and feisty intro to who I am, what this podcast is about, and why you’re already a recovering OYster by being here.
🎙️ Episode 2 – From OY to JOY: Just Start (Already) - Stuck in OY mode? I walk you through the first step toward breaking the cycle and building momentum—without needing new shoes or a new personality.
🎙️Episode 3 – 12ish Tiny Tweaks to Move, Feel & Look Even More Amazing in Minutes - Quick, practical wellness tweaks you can do almost anywhere (yes, even in line at Costco.)
🎙️Episode 4 – PAIN Is a Gift - (No, Really) Sounds a little nuts, I know—but in this episode, I share how some of my greatest PAIN ("my" italicized for a reason!) became my greatest teacher… and how yours can too. You’ll also get a few Tiny Tweaks to help you flip the script when life hands you a big ol’ platter of OY.
🎙️ Episode 5– 12ish Tiny Tweaks in the Car - Better posture, less road rage, and a nod to AARP and my late, legendary dad—the Man ee ac himself. BONUS: How not to fall into your car like a sack of OY… and keep driving (safely, joyfully, and without the bucket-seat slump).
🎙️ Episode 6 – You Can’t Chase Two Squirrels at Once: 6ish Life Lessons from Butch - Inspired by my retired Greyhound, Butch (the wisest, quirkiest couch potato you’ll ever meet), this one comes with a tiny numerical snafu—but that’s the magic of “ish,” right?
We’ll tackle everything from your posture to your peeps, your hands and feet to your beliefs, and your eats to your cheeks (yes, those cheeks).
And—while I may sometimes be as sweet as a slice of (yummy) peanut butter pie (yes, I fully believe in having my cake and my vino and enjoying both guilt-free,) I will abso-freakin-lutely give you that slap upside your fine young assets that even your doctor, your BFF, and your mirror are afraid to deliver. I am NOT afraid—because sugar-coating might taste good, but it doesn’t move your assets.
This isn’t another snooze-fest wellness podcast packed with fluff and fads. If that’s what you’re after, leave now and forever hold your OY. Butt (pun intended) if you’re ready for real stories, real tweaks, and real JOY—welcome my fellow JOYster!

And don’t forget your first Tiny Tweak: Next time you get up, DON’T grab anything for support—not even yourself. No plopping, no moaning, no OY. Make that your moving mantra and your future self (the one not scooting at 2mph) will thank you.
Let me know what you love, what you want more of, and maybe you even have a Tiny Tweak you’d love to share on a future episode—I’m all ears!
