Episode 30: Is "Transformation Tuesday" just fat-shaming?
Tuesday Sep 08, 2020
Tuesday Sep 08, 2020
In this week's podcast, I talk about the health, wellness and fitness industry's obsession with before and after photos.
After scrolling through my IG feed and seeing one too many before and after photos, captioned with "look how horrible I used to look?", I am calling it what it is - "fat-shaming". Transformation Tuesday photos celebrate our "new self", but at the cost of saying that our "old self" was lacking, unworthy, stupid, lazy, unmotivated etc.
I am tired of the negative narrative around health and fitness. It denotes that our "old self" was "bad" somehow, just because we didn't have the motivation or knowledge that our "new self" has. Maybe we were struggling with anxiety or depression, maybe we didn't have a great health coach or family support, maybe we couldn't afford healthy foods, maybe our hormones were out of whack. There can be a million reasons why someone is struggling with "weight"!
I think we should move to celebrating where we are at in our health journey and finding positive forms of motivation (like wanting to reduce inflammation, increase mobility and strength etc.). The focus on putting our "old self" down is not body positive, it is fat-shaming.
In this episode, I give a few tips about how I am reaching to be more body positive.

Episode 26: Staycationing during COVID 19
Tuesday Aug 11, 2020
Tuesday Aug 11, 2020
In this episode of the podcast, I explore what I got up to on my staycation this summer. There is definitely a challenge this year with wanting to fulfill our vacation dreams, wanting to stay safe from COVID 19 and then also keeping up with others! This year, I made a list of all of the things that we could possibly do on our time off and then also learned a few lessons about myself, like the importance of continuing a vacation mindset when work resumes.
