Empowerment by Exercise

Today we have the opportunity to speak with entrepreneur Annie Calvaneso (@theglamfitdiva on Instagram) who is a health and fitness and business coach as well as professional singer. Annie specializes in helping her clients heal their relationship with food through empowering exercise. From her past experience with the eating disorder Anorexia, that caused a rupture to her abdomen and had affected her singing ability, Annie had gone through hospitalization and recovery, where she was soon drawn to weight lifting. From there, she found the strength to her body appreciation journey hoping to teach and inspire others as well with her love of fitness. We sit down with Annie to hear her story through ED recovery and her thoughts on the pressures of unrealistic beauty expectations, the fitness industry and diet culture, as well her path in her business and promotion of self-validation.
