From Punishment to Empowerment: Healing Your Relationship with Movement

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.
