In this episode, we’re shifting the conversation around exercise from weight loss to holistic well-being. Hosts Tonya and Monica sit down with Jen Elliott—a Psychotherapist, Social Worker, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and Personal Trainer—to explore the power of joyful movement.
Jen shares insights on how diet culture has conditioned us to see exercise as a punishment rather than a form of self-care, debunking common fitness myths like "no pain, no gain" and the obsession with calorie burn. We discuss how intuitive eating principles help people reconnect with movement in a way that feels good, supports mental health, and fosters self-compassion.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset with exercise or struggled to detach from weight-focused fitness habits, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to redefine movement on your terms and embrace physical activity in a way that nourishes both body and mind.
