E46: From ED Recovery to Strongwoman Competitions & Breaking Cultural Barriers in Fitness with Happie Lifts

In this episode I'm joined by my good mate Happie Lifts to discuss her journey into strongman competitions, recovery from disordered eating, and challenges surrounding hypermobility and biomechanics. Happie shares her experiences as a person of colour navigating predominantly white male weightlifting spaces, the support systems that helped her, and the importance of representation in fitness.

We also touch on effective training strategies for hypermobility and the psychological barriers folks might face when entering the gym
