Today’s episode of the podcast is about healing your relationship with movement. The fitness industry is riddled with diet culture, toxic fitness messaging, fear-based marketing, social media comparisons, and celebrity worship. No wonder so many of us think exercise is a form of torture to endure in order to look good for other people. We are moving away from the “no pain, no gain” mindset and toward the shift so many of us need: seeing exercise not as punishment, but as a form of empowerment, joy, and self-respect.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why We Associate Exercise with Punishment
- Transforming the No Pain, No Gain Mindset
- How to Heal Your Relationship With Movement
- Create a Sustainable Fitness Mindset
- Let Go of Your Past Fitness Identity
- Build a Fitness Routine That Works For You
- Movement Is Not a Debt—It's an Investment
