Lessons From Lifting We Can Apply To Activism

How can I talk about fitness after Roe v. Wade being overturned? I can't. Not today. But being that diet culture and what just happened here are two different flavors of the same shit sandwich, I do wanna take the time to talk about some parallels. Before we get into any of this, I need to make one thing perfectly clear. I don't actually know WTF I'm doing here. I'm learning right along with you. I have always used my platform as a way to make sense of things that I’m working through in my own life and it helps to speak in a language I already know--strength training. Now that we have that out of the way. . . Silence does not=neutrality. As fitness professionals, it’s important to consider people’s mental and emotional well-being, as well as safety in the spaces we hold. Silence is not the answer here. When we, as fitness professionals, fail to take action or take a stance at times like this, it says a lot about who we actually care to help. So no, I will NOT stop talking about this anytime soon. On this episode we talk about: The many lessons from strength training we can apply to activism of all kinds.  How to use my idea of the strength savings account (from episode 7) to establish consistent action and why this matters.  How I'd LOVE to have an actual activist come on the podcast and tell us all WTF to do.  Screaming into the abyss.
