When "Joyful Movement" Feels Unrealistic--Can We Make "Rageful Movement" A Thing??

I've been wanting to record an episode on "joyful movement" for awhile now, and I decided that this week would be a good week to share my unconventional ideas about it. Are you surprised I have those? LOL. Full disclaimer, I say the "F" word a LOT on this one. In fact, I go off the rails a bit about my very pro-choice views on abortion rights. Sorry not sorry. The recent Supreme Court leak filled me with rage and inspired a much needed angry lifting session last Tuesday. It reminded me that sometimes you need to use your workout to work through other feelings before you can even think about accessing anything remotely resembling joy.  On this episode we talk about: How "joyful movement" is usually interpreted vs. what it actually is (hint: there's no wrong answer) Why I really want to make #ragefulmovement a thing, and how it's ok to use movement to move through a variety of emotions.  Some helpful questions to ask yourself to know if what you're doing actually qualifies as "joyful movement", or at the very least not "disordered".  Why it's ok (and sometimes unrealistic) to expect movement to feel joyful for you.  Why it's ok to love whatever kind of movement you love AND also sometimes do movement you don't love because it helps you do the things that you DO love better.  Side note--since recording this episode last week I've learned some new things about how to more effectively take action to protect abortion rights and how I might speak about these things differently moving forward and/or pass the mic to someone else. The link below will give you some ideas and resources. Likewise, if you or someone you know is a longstanding activist in this area and would be interested in coming to talk about it on the podcast, please email me [email protected].
