In this, the 10th episode of Move Sweat Discover, my guest Amanda Casgar and I explored the transformative journey from fitness as a means to achieve a certain body image to embracing movement for mental wellbeing. Amanda shared her extensive career in brand leadership, community building, and her experiences with Lululemon, emphasizing the importance of community and shared values. We discussed the essence of personal growth, the challenges of feeling stuck, and the significance of dreaming big for the future.

Amanda highlights the importance of setting a clear direction in life, overcoming limiting beliefs, and the transformative power of coaching. I shared success stories of clients who have made significant changes in their lives, emphasizing the rewards of coaching both individuals and teams. We explored cultural challenges in coaching, particularly around vulnerability, along with the need for safe spaces for sharing. Our discussion also touched on the importance of community in addressing menopause and the feminist perspective on the subject. 

Together, Amanda and I explored the complexities of personal growth, the importance of mental well-being, and the transformative power of movement. We discussed how self-discovery through physical activity can lead to greater emotional resilience and acceptance of one's body.
