J'nae Simmons, NASM, CPT joins Megan today for a super fun conversation around the body, fitness, and encouragement! Let's talk about FITNESS and MOVEMENT and let's learn from the best - J'nae! Megan & J'nae discuss motivation, encouragement, and why any form of celebrated movement is so important - to our mental and physical health! 

J'nae fell in love with fitness through her love for dance. Understanding that both fitness and dance is connected through movement, she began to focus on how she can bring the joy of movement to others. J’nae’s purpose in her training others and herself is to remind everyone that movement = self-love. When she’s not squatting or dropping it like its hot, she’s bike riding around NYC and giving love to her new puppy!

Bailey Recommends two things! 1. Brenė Brown (all the things - podcast, books, talks, etc) to gain some empathy skills, and
