Learn to Love Movement Again and Overcome Exercise Obsession with Helen Phelan

So many of us have struggled (or are struggling) with a toxic / obsessive/ addicting relationship to fitness thanks to diet culture. We're told that being "fit" means doing x, y, z and making our entire world revolve around when we workout, what we do, how many calories are burned, how much we sweat, and how we look in comparison to models and photoshopped bodies. In this episode with Helen you'll hear us break down what toxic fitness culture is and how to break free from it. With Helen's wisdom and the discussions we have, you'll see that it is possible to have a peaceful and intuitive relationship to movement and your body. 

In this episode we discuss:

• the toxic side of fitness culture 
• exercise addiction and obsession 
• building self awareness in our bodies
• leaning into intuitive movement
• the key to low impact exercises
• caring for our minds and bodies
