“Don’t ignore your engine light…Your body and you are not the same all month long.”  -Shanique Allen

This week, Shanique Allen joins Carrie on the 28ish podcast. In this interview, Allen discusses her process of deconstructing her fitness practices and lifestyle as a professional bodybuilder and fitness trainer. In the midst of her life going through major changes, Shanique questions her motivations and decides to reinterpret what being healthy means to her. Throughout the interview, Carrie and Shanique exchange views on burnout, diet culture, prioritizing nourishment, unlearning bad habits, and Shanique’s own experience with her menstrual cycle.
