Building Muscle, Self Worth, and Body Confidence with Kitty Blomfield

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

Fitness culture has made body image recovery even more confusing. I've seen people year after year question if it is alright to want to lose weight, or lift weights, or increase muscle. 

What I like to return to is the intention behind these desires and how they feel in your body. Any intention approached from a place of self hate, of disrespecting the body, or pushing the body beyond what it can handle, compromising its health, is not a goal that will lead to nervous system regulation and bodily safety. 

First and foremost though, I believe in body autonomy and for you to choose for yourself what adventures you'd like to take with your body. What we typically need to explore is how to embark on those adventures that respects your body, takes care of your body, and supports your body along the way. 

In this week's episode, I chat with Kitty Blomfield, cofounder of NuStrength and Saturee, about: 

• Balancing body goals and self worth
• Body acceptance and desires for fat loss
• Empowerment through strength training
• Navigating body image across different life stages
• Approaching nutrition with curiosity 
• Finding your Goldilocks spot with food

There is one more month until the Befriending Your Body Image Challenges Workshop happening on Wednesday, August 27th at 5:00 pm ET. At the end of this live 2 hour workshop, you will have a somatic plan to navigate the most difficult body image moments such as seeing yourself in pictures, interacting with the scale, and struggles with clothes.
