Episode 43: Finding body acceptance with Christa Gurka

Today I’m talking with Christa Gurka, owner of Pilates in the Grove, physical therapist and business coach. This episode is packed with so much great conversation including:Why shorter workouts are often betterHow to find a way to exercise that you actually likeHow to shift away from the all or nothing mindset around exerciseCOVID weight gainBody shaming in the fitness industryI think you’ll be surprised to hear Christa’s candid personal feelings about exercise (she doesn’t love it!) and how she approaches movement and self care despite that resistance. And as a Pilates instructor working in a “thin is better” culture, Christa shares her recent experience of gaining weight and the radical acceptance she’s found in this differently shaped body. It is incredibly honest and inspiring.
