Chrissy King: Body Liberation, Taking Up Space & Unpacking Our Body Ideals

Chrissy King is a writer, speaker, strength coach, and self-proclaimed truth-teller with a passion for intersectional feminism and creating a diverse and inclusive wellness industry. She has been featured in SELF, SHAPE, BuzzFeed, Muscle and Fitness, and Livestrong, among others. She empowers individuals to stop shrinking, start taking up space and use their energy to create their specific magic in the world. When she’s not serving her clients by empowering them to create stress-free and sustainable lifestyles and feel confident and empowered in their skin, she spends her time lifting all the weights, reading, traveling, and hanging with friends and family. Beth Clayton (your host) is a soul-based life and health coach and loves to help open-hearted people break free from their own self-sabotage, outdated thought patterns, and past pain so they can deepen their relationship with their own soul’s intuition, speak their truth courageously and fulfill their most authentic desires. She is the creator of multiple group programs, retreats, and transformational workshops, leading hundreds of truth-seekers toward finding freedom and ease in their relationship with food, their bodies, their lives and ultimately, themselves. Together, we jive about: Chrissy’s journey from the corporate world to body empowerment coach How strength training led Chrissy to body acceptance What body liberation truly means How dieting and wellness are highly influenced by a patriarchal and racially oppressive paradigms How body love is a mental, spiritual, physical, emotional and political/human conversation Why you don’t need to love your body all the time Celebrating weight gain The healthiest and most loving way to approach weight loss/fat loss The importance of decolonizing our own minds around what our bodies and other people’s bodies should look like Resources Mentioned: Sonya Renee Taylor, “The Body is Not an Apology” You can find Chrissy at: @Iamchrissyking on Instagram http://chrissyking.com/ You can find Beth at: @bethclaytoncoach on Instagram www.soulbodylife.com Grab your free e-book, “The Secrets in Your Sabotage” at www.soulbodylife.com/free-stuff Beth’s TedX RIGHT HERE.
