Have you ever felt stressed out or anxious about movement? Feeling like you ‘should’ because of a guilty moment? If you answered yes to either of those then this is the episode for you. Tara Laferrara is here to remind us all that movement is something we get to do, not something we have to do. As she shares, movement should be for joy, releasing stress, the high from edorphins, and feeling strong in your body, not becuase you feel forced to. As a personal trainer and movement coach Tara shares her experience from obsessive/extreme fitness to intuive movement that leaves her feeling strong and energized. 

In this episode we discuss:

• Shifting mindsets with movement
• Moving for joy and stress release, not out of guilt
• Misconceptions about workouts
• External pressures that led to her disordered eating
• Body image struggles
• Leaving toxic fitness culture
