How I Shed My Fit Chick Label, Gave Up Perfection and Left Bodybuilding for Good

Episode 104: In this podcast episode, I replay an interview with Alexa Schirm of Simple Roots Wellness Radio where I'm the one in the hot seat! I don't do this on my own show very often, but I knew this interview was GREAT and would appeal to you. We dive deep into my background and story, how I recovered from my body image obsession, how to overcome the fear of letting go, how to understand health is not a number, and so much more. I hope you enjoy this episode, and please let me know if you'd like more like this in the future!
