Did you know that sitting can put up to 200% 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘀 than standing? Over time, poor posture, fatigue, or even sitting on a wallet will distort your spine and lead to chronic pain.

💡 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝:

✅ Sit upright with shoulders back and maintain your natural lumbar curve.
✅ Avoid slouching—fatigue causes your spine to round and increase disc pressure.
✅ Remove bulky wallets from your back pockets—they tilt your pelvis and stress your lower back.
✅ Stand up and move regularly to relieve pressure and keep your spine healthy.

Grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact together. 🙏

Whether it’s about making healthy choices, building confidence, or understanding how to turn ideas into something meaningful, these conversations matter more than we realize. The lessons we share today can shape the habits and mindset they carry into the future.

A heartfelt thank you to Hope Trepanier (Kraus-Anderson Insurance), Dr. Chase O’Keefe (Northern Roots Family Spinal Care), and Kayla Nelson (Sower & Seeds) for sharing their time and what it truly takes to run a business with our Junior Koopies tonight. Defying passions, goals and being excited to take risks are strong pillars in business.

We are beyond proud of these young entrepreneurs, and deeply grateful to the parents and supporters who continue to invest in their growth and experiences. The Junior Koopies journey wouldn’t be the same without our presenters and all of you.

From homemade dog treats to sourdough, 3D prints, skin care line, custom BFF bracelets, and even selling hay bales, the creativity in this group is something special.

Get ready to see their businesses come to life on the Friday/Saturday at Kate’s Coffee Koop during Clear Lake Heritage Days, the last weekend in June!

Thank you Clear Lake Area Community Center for providing the space to meet!
