84. How Shame Shapes the way you Move, Eat and Live
Season 5, Ep. 4
•
In this episode, we explore how shame can fuel everything from overtraining to our career choices- and how it can keep us stuck in patterns and habits that we want to change. As movement professionals, we share our personal experiences along with what we see every day in studio and with clients. This episode links movement with body connection, starting to learn what variation is best for us on any given day- ultimately, breaking the shame cycle to build a healthier, more sustainable relationship with your body- inside the studio and out.
