Trauma informed wellness coach and strength trainer Laura Khoudari joins me to talk about how she found Olympic lifting, powerlifting, being a "machine", 'The Body Keeps the Score', why strength training is useful, body awareness, safety and trauma, collapse and victimhood, boundary issues, pulling movements, deadlifts, over-head press, being weird in the gym, vulnerability, eating disorder recovery, and not over-sharing.

A fun useful one, especially if you like hitting the gym. Find out more about Laura here: https://www.laurakhoudari.com/
