In this episode of Your Body Story, host Hannah Saenz talks with Courtney, whose vulnerable TikTok about being body-shamed at the gym reached millions of people. Courtney recounts the painful moment that inspired her viral video, how she found the courage to finish her workout, and what happened when she reported the incident to her gym.
Together, Hannah and Courtney dive into the everyday reality of living in a larger body, gym intimidation, the power of sharing vulnerable moments online, and the mindset shifts that helped Courtney transform exercise from punishment to self-care. Courtney also reflects on growing up in diet culture, reclaiming the word “fat,” and why your worth is not about your body.
