This week, Maria and Renée dive into the complex world of movement—what it means to move your body for joy, not punishment. From fitness influencers to before-and-after photos, we’re unpacking how diet culture has co-opted exercise and turned it into a tool for control instead of celebration.
We share our own stories, reflect on what joyful movement actually looks like, and explore how to reconnect with movement that feels good—without shame, guilt, or weight loss pressure.
✨ If you’ve ever struggled to separate exercise from the “shoulds” of diet culture, this episode is for you.
