We’ve all heard that exercise is “good for you”  but what happens when something healthy turns into a form of punishment, obsession, or emotional escape?

In this powerful episode, Faye and Tarryn dive deep into the blurry line between healthy training and harmful obsession. They share raw stories from their own journeys; from disordered eating to rigid discipline, overtraining, and the struggle to “earn your food” through workouts.

This one’s for every woman who has ever:

• Felt guilty for missing a session
• Trained to fix or punish her body
• Measured self-worth by gym performance
• Cancelled life plans to stick to the schedule
• Questioned if she's doing it “right”

We’re rewriting the rules because training should support your health, not control it.

🔑 In This Episode:

• How to spot the signs your relationship with exercise might be unhealthy
• The physical and emotional toll of overtraining and undernourishing
• When training becomes a coping mechanism (and how to know the difference)
• How to shift from punishment to power in your workouts
• What positive, values-aligned movement actually looks and feels like
• A powerful question to check in with your “why” for moving your body

💭 Reflect & Take Action:

Is your training building you up or breaking you down?
Ask yourself: What’s my real WHY for movement?
Then start making choices from self-respect, not self-criticism.
