In this episode, Melissa Kathryn talks about falling in love with fitness. She starts off reading a poem she wrote to her body and shares about her journey of finding the gift in being fit. She begins with the story of her childhood identity and how her patterns and behavior followed suit. She grew sick of the story she always told herself and shares how that evolved into finding strength and self love.

Melissa focuses on the healthy balance of fitness and food. She warns of the cycle of falling into dieting and fitness as a coping mechanism and teaches you how to assess your relationship with movement and food. From there, Melissa encourages you to allow your body to guide you what is right for you.

In conclusion, Melissa recommends some fun tips to start each day to shift you into the mindset of loving movement, and your body, in turn. In your journey to wholeness, Melissa would love for you to connect with her at ​[email protected]​ and she would greatly appreciate a podcast review!
