On this episode, I chat with coach Ruby Padwick who’s passionate about opening up honest conversations around body image and self-worth.

We talk about her journey, what living with body dysmorphia has really been like, and some of the misconceptions that still exist in the fitness world.

Ruby shares how her relationship with her body has evolved over time, what has helped her shift her mindset, and what she turns to on the tougher days still.

We also explore how to better support those who might be struggling, even when they seem confident on the outside. Let’s get into it

On this episode, I run and speak with Lara Sullivan, autistic runner, and advocate for neurodivergent women. Lara shares her mission to help others find their preferred way of movement. She speaks openly about life, running, and navigating the world as a late-diagnosed autistic woman.
