Soul Sessions PodcastEnergy & ExerciseIn this episode we have a conversation about reframing how we think about food, exercise, energy and moving the body. As a society, we have commercialized exercise and wellness into something it was never meant to be, which in turn has attached us to trying to force numbers on the scale, pants sizes and how many mules we can rack up on the treadmill. This is a topic that hits super close to home for me. I am grateful to be able to share my process with making peace with exercising, food, energy and my body.
