My fabulous, feminist personal trainer Emily joins me for a convo about how to generate body confidence in a world hell-bent on objectifying our physical forms. We expand our understanding of confidence, outline the components of a great workout, and call bullshit on all kinds of harmful misconceptions about what makes a healthy body.

Mentioned:

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is racist, sexist trash.

Knox Power Company, the fitness studio Emily co-owns with her partner, Devin Knox.

Make Magic:

When setting intentions for working out, think about what you DO want (not what you don’t want).

Center your FEELINGS - not your looks, not your weight - in your embodied endeavors.

Build partnership with your body by listening to and heeding its messages and desires.

If you’re interested in personal training, find a trainer who meets you where you are, educates you, and believes in your inherent power to grow.
