Episode 95: Sarah Menlove on Her HA Journey, The Power of Coaching, and Cultivating Self-Worth

Sarah's Bio:

Former New Zealand age group rep triathlete Sarah Menlove learnt the hard way that skinny is not always healthy and one's body size and sporting performance is not the most important thing about them. After losing her period for over 4 years and suffering a stress fracture that ended her competitive sporting days, Sarah had to redefine health and her identity. She is now a certified holistic health and mastery level transformation coach, specializing in intuitive eating and body image. Sarah helps women from all walks of life break free from body shame, restrictive eating, guilt and negative self-talk so they can find freedom in their bodies and their lives.
