EP04: I Was Born With a Deformity (Part 1)

People are not always what you expect. Christina opens for the first time about a humiliating part of her life that largely shaped her into the person she is today. Despite her apparent confidence, Christina was born with a congenital deformity that led her to self-destruct. She battled in silence in fear of judgment, and no one ever knew, until now…

In this episode, Christina shares:

• What was it like growing up with a deformity that she kept hidden from everyone
• The shame associated with the realization that her body did not look like other girls
• How the feelings of shame and disgust she felt towards her body impacted her sexually
• How you can break free of self-destruction by embracing past experiences and using them to grow
• Why Cut & Conquer Fitness focuses so much on getting their clients to do the internal work before the external
