This episode isn't just a chat; it's a heartfelt exploration of Wendy's transformation from struggling with an eating disorder to empowering others to find joy in movement, regardless of body size. Through her candid recount of overcoming workplace toxicity and her battle with ADHD, Wendy inspires a shift in the fitness narrative, advocating for a world where every type of body is celebrated and supported in their pursuit of health and happiness.
As we peel back the layers of fitness and self-discovery, we uncover the truth about the physical and mental metamorphosis that comes from embracing our unique bodies. Wendy guides us through the nuances of tailoring fitness plans, the critical role of mindset in shaping our health, and the transformative power of personal commitment – highlighting the Harvard study that showcases the incredible impact of recognizing the value of everyday physical activities. Wendy also shares the deeply moving account of a client's journey through gender identity and body positivity, emphasizing the importance of patience and the customizing of workouts to emotional states, thereby illustrating fitness as a compassionate and healing force.
Dive deep into the heart of what it means to reclaim one's narrative, as Wendy discusses the empowering act of embracing terms like 'fat' and recognizing the significance of bone density and muscle mass in our overall well-being. We explore the practice of setting intentions, the fortitude found in gratitude, and the profound influence of supportive partners in fitness endeavors. This episode isn't just about moving your body; it's about transforming your life, with Wendy's guiding voice illustrating how to create a trauma-informed approach to exercise and how to find joy in every step of your health journey.
