My Fitness Journey | From Disordered Tendencies to Empowerment & Balance

Today, we delve into the profound transformation that took me from using exercise as a tool to facilitate disordered tendencies to embracing it as an essential act of self-care, empowerment, and creativity.I'll take you through the pivotal moments in my life where I transitioned into cultivating a healthier relationship with recovery. We'll explore how I found a supportive community, struck a balance in my fitness journey, and learned to celebrate the remarkable capabilities of my body.I also share the experience of overcoming gym anxiety, intimidation, and self-doubt, ultimately transforming a once-intimidating space into a sanctuary of empowerment and self-growth.From running to strength training, from 5k races to half marathons, I share the profound impact of endorphins, the joy of movement, building relationships, feeling a part of a community, the excitement of race participation, and the (psychological and physical) strength regained along the way.Transformation Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-7TP7s-D58
