Meliza Fernandez from Killer Bodies joins us to share how growing up in Dominican households, where fitness and natural food were prioritized, has influenced her approach to health. We dive deep into the personal struggles we’ve faced, including body dysmorphia and mental health challenges, and underscore the importance of defining a powerful "why" behind our wellness goals. Learn how continuous self-research and adaptability play crucial roles in maintaining a fulfilling life.
In our candid conversation, we reflect on the toxic environments and unrealistic standards within the fitness industry that fueled our passion for creating supportive, authentic communities. From launching classes while pregnant to building a thriving business, Meliza and I discuss the multifaceted needs of women beyond just movement and nutrition—addressing mindset, environment, and emotional well-being. Discover how personal empowerment and authentic representation have become the cornerstones of our wellness ventures, aiming to uplift women rather than merely focusing on weight loss.
Join us as we explore a holistic approach to wellness, emphasizing the significance of informed decisions, self-awareness, and mental health. We tackle societal norms around aging and health, advocating for sustainable, long-term strategies over quick-fix solutions. With practical advice and heartfelt anecdotes, we reinforce that wellness is accessible to everyone, even busy moms, and that personal growth is an ongoing journey. Tune in for an inspiring episode filled with valuable insights and empowering stories that will encourage you to take control of your well-being and embrace continuous growth.
