What if the “healthy” habits you’ve been chasing… aren’t actually helping your health?

In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Katz to unpack the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways toxic fitness culture shows up in women’s lives (often disguised as discipline, wellness, or “just taking care of yourself.”)

We dive into how behaviors that look healthy on the outside can quietly disconnect you from your body, increase stress, and keep you stuck in cycles of fear and control.

We also get into something we don’t talk about enough:
how fear shapes the way women approach fitness, food, and their bodies…and how learning to recognize it can change everything.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still don’t feel good in your body… this conversation will hit.

In this episode, we cover:
