Welcome to this bonus episode of The Power in Motion Podcast.
In this episode, I’m sharing a recent interview I did with Tami Stackelhouse on her podcast, The Fibromyalgia podcast.
I discovered Tami and her work as I was looking for resources to support myself through my own recent diagnosis of fibromyalgia and I can honestly say her podcast has made a huge impact - I’ve learned so much about the condition and what I can do to feel better.
So It was truly an honour when Tami asked me to come and speak on her podcast about my fibro journey so far and how my work and fitness routine has had to shift as a result.
We also discuss diet culture, movement as self care, other ways we can measure health progress, besides the number on the scale, and how we can develop a more positive body image.
Tami was also on my show recently - back on episode 124, where we talked all about how we can come into a friendly and accepting relationship with our body even with chronic illness. You can find that episode here.

In this episode, our guest Al, a woman I’ve had the pleasure of coaching 1:1 for the past 6 months, shares her personal journey of overcoming lifelong yo-yo dieting using exercise as punishment.
Growing up in a household where dieting was normalized, Al details how she grew up believing that she could not trust herself to make good choices about food and movement, causing her to look for external validation by using tracking apps but never feeling like she was getting it “right”.
After seeking one-on-one coaching, her perspective on food, body image, and self-worth shifted dramatically, as she built up trust in her ability to care for herself.
Throughout the conversation, Al recounts specific moments of learning to navigate emotions without turning to food, developing healthier habits, and ultimately finding freedom from tracking food and movement.
Notably, she discusses how these personal changes have also positively influenced her parenting, enabling her to pass down healthier emotional and eating practices to her children.
Our conversation delves into the challenges and breakthroughs Al experienced, illustrating the profound impact of emotional work and body acceptance on her life and the lives of those around her.
About Our Guest
Al is a working mother of three from Missouri who recently completed 6 months of 1:1 body acceptance coaching with Kim.

If you’ve ever been told you have to lose weight for health reasons, or if your medical problems always get blamed on your weight, or you fear going to the doctor because they might comment on your weight - this is the episode for you!
Our guest today is Dr. Michelle Tubman a Canadian physician who operates from a health at every size approach.
In our conversation Michelle set the record straight on what really contributes to poor health outcomes, and spoiler alert - it’s not the number on the scale. She shared her opinion on the theory that “obesity” is a disease and discussed the very real health risks of repeated weight loss attempts.
You’ll leave this interview with a very clear plan on how to handle the conversation and advocate for yourself if you’re told that your weight is to blame for your health problems and are told that losing weight is the answer

The holidays are indeed a busy time.
When we’re busy and have lots of additional tasks and social engagements to manage, often the first thing that gets dropped is our own movement practice.
Though it’s easy to feel as if we don’t have time, or can’t justify taking time to exercise when there’s so much else to do, the consequence of putting movement on the back burner is more overwhelm and holiday burnout.
In this episode we’ll help you redefine what’s “enough” and how to take an all or something approach to movement (that’s also joyful) so that you come through the holidays feeling calm and cared for and don’t feel the need to start all over January first.
Mentioned in the Show:
If you’re a woman who tends to feel overwhelmed and put yourself last during the holidays, but you WANT to prioritize your own wellbeing so that you can roll into the New Year feeling centered, rested and nourished and avoid holiday burn out and New Year’s resolution regret - I have just the thing for you.

Strap yourselves in for a refreshingly candid conversation with certified non-diet health and life coach, Kate Williams Stone, as we delve into the often overlooked subject of perimenopause. Kate, a compassionate ally for women undergoing this transformational path, dispels myths and misconceptions with a wellspring of wisdom and empathy.
Our conversation takes us through the fascinating changes our bodies undergo during perimenopause. We discuss the unexpected ways our bodies protect us and address the societal pressures and internalized fat phobia that often make body changes daunting. However, we also celebrate perimenopause as an era of self-acceptance and the dawn of a new reality.
But, we don't stop at self-acceptance; we take the plunge into practicality, covering everything from identifying signs of undernourishment to cultivating healthy habits that support this transition. This episode is far more than a discussion - it's an empowering manifesto for all women about to embark on, or currently navigating, this significant phase of life.

In this episode we hear from Debby, who shares her story of what befriending her body has made available for her.
Prior to beginning 1:1 coaching, Debby felt stuck and unfulfilled in life, and truly believed that her body was the problem. She thought that losing weight would allow her to find love, get her dream job, wear the clothes she wanted, travel - but felt hopeless because even after substantial weight loss, she still felt the same way.
She struggled with emotional eating, bingeing and hid her body behind baggy clothes.
Through coaching, Debby realized that it wasn’t her body that needed to change, but rather how she thought about herself as a person.
As she began to believe in her inherent worthiness, and started treating herself with the kindness and respect she deserved, Debby noticed that her eating behaviour became more nourishing, she moved her body more consistently and she started wearing clothing that she felt comfortable in, including wearing a bathing suit at the beach without a cover up, for the first time in her adult life!
Not only that, but because of her new found self-confidence Debby no longer lets her body hold her back. She has created the life of her dreams and feels satisfied and content, knowing that she is worthy of having all that she desires.
If you’re ready for results like this, 1:1 coaching is the way. Reach out and book your consultation today to talk about what’s possible for you!

We're working to update our website, and offerings and are super excited to share that with you in a few weeks.

In this enlightening episode, Kim sits down with chronic pain expert Dr. Andrea Moore, to delve into the multifaceted world of chronic pain.
They discuss what defines chronic pain, why pain is essential as a protective mechanism, and the intriguing connection between chronic pain and the nervous system.
Dr. Andrea sheds light on the complexities of acute vs. chronic pain and explains how emotional stress and even generational trauma can contribute to chronic pain.
The conversation also touches on the relationship between exercise and pain, especially for those who have used exercise as punishment in the past.
Dr. Andrea shares her unique Whole Self Integration Method, a four-step process to align with the nervous system and navigate chronic pain.
Whether you're dealing with chronic pain yourself, working in healthcare, or simply curious about this complex subject, this episode offers valuable insights and practical strategies.
About our Guest
Andrea Moore is a mom, wife and recovering health perfectionist.
Her career path has been based on trying to fix everything wrong with her: from chronic pain & post-concussive syndrome to anxiety & ADHD. While she refused to accept this as her norm, trying to implement what she thought was necessary to alleviate her symptoms felt exhausting, restricting & impossible.
Along her 15+ year journey, she became a Doctor of Physical Therapy, an Orthopedic Certified Specialist, Functional Nutritional Therapist, Life Coach and patriarchy & perfectionism smasher.
Through years of education, self healing & working with 100s of women, she learned that it is always about coming back to yourself in order to live the life of your dreams. So she now guides other women who are suffering from chronic pain back to their bodies & living in a way that is aligned with the truest version of themselves.

In this episode of the Power and Motion podcast, we explore the transformative power of doing hard things. Life inevitably presents us with challenges, but instead of dreading these experiences, we can learn to welcome them as opportunities for growth and learning.
A key part of embracing hard things is growing our failure capacity. This involves changing our mindset about failure, viewing it not as a negative outcome but as a valuable learning experience.
By embracing hard things and growing our failure capacity, we can unlock our full potential and achieve our goals.

On this episode, tune in as Kim shares the process she went through to transition from being health obsessed, feeling controlled by food, over-exercising - to feeling completely confident in her body and health decisions.
Inside you’ll learn the three step process of transformation:
- Challenging and unlearning your beliefs
- Embracing body neutrality and practicing body respect
- Trusting yourself to be the boss of your body
We also discuss why this process, though simple, is challenging to do on your own and how coaching can help you navigate that transition faster and with less set backs.

In this episode, we address a common concern: “but I just FELT better in a smaller body”
Feeling better means something different to everyone, but it’s often this thought that keeps people on the quest for weight loss, even if they’ve rejected dieting.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- Why weight gain is feared and how true confidence isn’t found in a smaller size.
- That confidence is not the absence of insecurity, but rather a commitment to always having your own back, no matter what.
- How to create unshakeable confidence no matter what you look like or what you can do.

What you’ll learn by listening:
- The reason you feel so out of control around food
- Why it’s not your fault, or a lack of willpower that you eat more than you intended
- How to cultivate trust in yourself to eat in a health supporting way without needing rules or a strict plan
- How to get to a place where you can have your “trigger foods” in the house without fear of losing control

This is part 2 of our 8 part series about “simplifying wellness”. In this episode we’re clearing up the confusion about exercise.
When I asked my social media community about what they are most confused about exercise/movement the answers were:
- How to know what is the “right” or “best” way to work out (should I do cardio/weights? How much? How often? How intense)
- How do I know how to perform movements safely so I don’t get hurt?
- And how do I motivate myself when I don’t have a trainer or coach telling me what to do.
In this episode, I’ll explain why you feel so confused, and expose the “missing piece” that leaves you feeling lost and unmotivated when you don’t have a plan to follow.
You’ll learn 4 practical tips to help you become your own fitness expert so that you can trust your body and yourself to make the best decisions about your movement practice.

“Pushing yourself” has long been seen as the objective behind exercise. But usually that comes from a place of wanting to fix ourselves - to burn more calories, to compete, to prove ourselves or in hopes that we’ll lose weight. Having a negative mindset about exercise and pushing through is a sure fire way to kill all joy for movement.
However, when we participate in movement as a form of self care, and have a healthy, growth based mindset about movement, it can become a fun way to connect with your body to play and have fun.
Once you discover movement that lights you up and makes you feel amazing, then you can start to challenge yourself on your terms, which is the 10th and final principle of joyful movement. You can experiment with different things to see what you’re capable of but all from a place of body respect and curiosity and growth rather than from a place of needing to prove or change ourselves.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How to assess your mindset about movement - are you trying to fix yourself or to grow?
- Four different ways that you can challenge yourself on your terms
- What it feels like to challenge yourself in a body respecting way
- Why you NEVER have to do something you hate, even if your trainer tells you to

Have you ever looked at a runner and wondered why on earth they would want to do that? Any runner will tell you that once you’ve experienced the runner’s high, you’re hooked for life.

This feeling can occur as a result of any type of activity and in this episode I’ll show you how to cultivate that feeling of extreme pleasure and bubbling over JOY of movement.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- Why some people seem to love exercise while others find it torturous
- What the people who love exercise know that others don’t
- How to switch your mindset so that you can start feeling pleasure through movement.

Feeling a sense of belonging is known to be one of the top three factors that contribute to motivation.
Having a group of supportive, like minded people to move with has a huge positive effect on motivation, and consistency. However, there’s no one size fits all approach to group fitness - each person’s needs and preferences for community are different.
There are numerous benefits to being part of a community beyond the obvious accountability. In this episode, we discuss the different ways that social support helps people progress toward their goals, and how you can “find your people” that will support your journey to joyful movement.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How a community of like minded people can help motivate you to be consistent with your movement practice.
- The difference between accountability and belonging
- The 5 ways that social support can help you achieve your fitness goals
- 3 steps to help you seek out a community that meets your needs no matter where you are on your journey with joyful movement.

Taking regularly scheduled rest days has the following benefits:
- Improves strength

Tune in to hear how rest and recovery are an act of self care that serves to bring our whole self back into balance.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- The benefits to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies by incorporating regular rest days

On this week’s episode, we’re talking about the 6th principle of joyful movement which is to stop relying on external validation. By that I mean fitness trackers, apps and even the scale to tell you that you are doing it “right” in terms of exercise.
About 20% of people in north america wear a fitness tracker, but it’s interesting to note that about ⅓ of people who own one will stop wearing it within 6 months and almost half will stop within a year.
It seems that a lot of women struggle in their relationship with a wearable tracker.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How apps, trackers and the scale are interfering with your joy for movement
- The benefits and limitations of using external tracking devices.
- How to tell if you’ve got a healthy relationship with your fitness tracker
- How to identify your body’s own cues through the process of attunement so that you don’t have to rely on external validation.

For the majority of the people in this world, getting motivated to exercise or even beginning to exercise is difficult. But then there are a few of us who actually do the opposite of this… We exercise too much - we go too hard, too often.
While moving your body and being physically active every day (or most days) is great, like everything else in life, too much of a good thing is actually a bad thing.
It can be really hard to know where that line is sometimes - between good movement, wanting to challenge ourselves and progress - and going too far.
Respecting your limitations means meeting yourself where you are at progressing toward your goal in a safe, body respecting way. It means knowing what you are capable of, what injuries or mobility constraints you have, and having a clear vision of where you want to go with your fitness and why, and then taking appropriate action to get there.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- The principles of progressive overload and rest/recovery and how they apply to making gains while avoiding overtraining or injury
- How to know that you’re exercising in a safe way
- The warning signs of overtraining
- The concept of body respect and how to meet yourself where you’re at in your movement practice.

The gym police are the loud, obnoxious voices in our head that scream at you all the fitness rules of how you “should” be exercising if you want to do it right. They highlight everything that you’re doing wrong, and make you feel terrible about yourself which often keeps you from doing anything at all.
Gym police are thoughts; negative thoughts about our inadequacies and how we don’t measure up. The thing is most of the negative thoughts shouted by the gym police actually aren’t true. The comparisons you're making to others and the rules you’re buying into about how exercise needs to look - often they’re not even accurate or true.
The result of listening to the gym police is more shame and continuing to stay stuck.
In this episode we learn how to recognize the gym police and their hidden agenda to take you down. We’ll learn strategies to stand up to them so you can get out from under their thumb and into freedom.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- Discover that most of the fitness “rules” are just arbitrary and there’s no one size fits all approach to fitness.
- Learn how to challenge the rules to create a game you can win.
- Understand how comparison is keeping you stuck feeling inadequate and shrinking away from your own greatness.
- Learn how your thoughts are creating the results, or lack thereof, that you’re experiencing.
- Begin the process of changing your thoughts so that you can create the relationship with exercise that you desire.

Welcome back to our series on the 10 principles of joyful movement. This week we discuss principle 3 - Just say no to punishment.
No Pain, No Gain is the most common “motivation” saying from the fitness industry. As such, we’re conditioned to believe that the only way to get fit is to push ourselves to the brink 5-6 days a week.
But it’s not working. Thinking that exercise has to hurt or that it has to be incredibly difficult is anything BUT motivating.
Buying into this mentality might result in some short term gains but usually ends you up injured and exhausted, and inevitably giving up.
In this episode, I’ll give you tools you can use to know the difference between challenging yourself and pain and how to achieve steady progress towards your goals without dreading exercise.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- The difference between pushing yourself, and punishing yourself
- How to tell if what you’re feeling is a “good hurt” or if you’ve crossed the line into pain.
- Tools you can use to change your mindset about movement so that it is fun, challenging, rewarding and SAFE!

Traditional exercise and weight loss programs typically focus on the physical body or aesthetics - using restriction and punishment to try to shrink the body in order to fit into the societal ideal.
We are actually made up of four bodies - the physical body, the mental body, the spiritual body and the emotional body. And when we ignore the needs of the whole self and spend our efforts on “fixing” the physical body, motivation is a big struggle.
You’ll never love your body by hating on it.
Body acceptance starts by acknowledging that we’re more than a body and committing to being respectful to ourselves no matter how we feel about our physical body.
In this week’s episode we explore all the parts of us that make us whole, and how honouring each body through joyful movement is key to having a good relationship with exercise and a step towards body acceptance
What you’ll learn by listening:
- Learn about the 4 bodies that make us whole.
- Identify ways that you have disconnected from your body because of diet culture.
- Explore ways to re-connect to the physical, emotional, spiritual and mental bodies through respectful movement that honours the whole self.
- Understand how the concept of body neutrality can bridge the gap from body hatred and body love.

Today begins our series exploring the 10 principles of joyful movement.
Principle #1 is all about rejecting the diet mentality.
Even though many women wouldn’t identify as dieters, exercise is almost always viewed as a way to earn or burn food or purely as a way to change or control the size and shape of your body.
Viewing exercise in this way sets us up for a negative relationship with exercise and leads us to think that exercise isn’t “working” if it doesn’t result in weight loss, causing us to ignore all the other benefits movement has on our body, mind and spirit.
While you might not be ready to give up the desire to lose weight just yet, this episode will teach you how to detach exercise from that desire so that you can enjoy the journey and have fun with exercise.

Joe “Dawg” Hallam is our guest on the show today, sharing the message that it’s not just women who struggle with body image.
As someone who has struggled with his weight for his whole life, and like most people believed that when he achieved the so-called “ideal” weight, he’d be happier, healthier and more confident. However, he noticed when he achieved the lower weight, he felt anxiety, rather than confidence; he felt like a stranger to himself AND he definitely was not healthier.
In this interview, Joe shares how, through coaching, he has learned to view his body as the vehicle he uses to experience life. As a car guy, he now knows, it’s not about changing the car, it’s about taking care of and appreciating the one you have.

Kandace shares her story of body shame, where she was consumed with constant, intrusive thoughts that her body was wrong, which caused her to feel disconnected from her family, angry, isolated and hopeless.
Intellectually, she knew that she was loved and loveable, but struggled to believe it because all she could see were her “faults”.
During the interview, you’ll hear how Kandace was able to re-write the narrative in her brain and begin to see herself the way that other see her, to love herself and accept the love that was all around her.
As a result, she not only reached a place of body acceptance, but is intentionally working to create the life she desires, knowing that she is worthy.

With fitness culture constantly telling us we have to work out an hour a day, 5 days a week as hard as we can, if we want to “get results”, it’s only natural that we would believe that anything less isn’t good enough.
If I had a nickel for every time I heard “well, walking doesn’t count” or “stretching isn’t enough”, I’d have a nice little nest egg.
On this episode, co-host Lisa MacDonald and I poke some holes in these statements by discussing the benefits of walking and stretching, and share the straight goods about how much exercise is really needed to experience health benefits.
If you struggle with the all or nothing cycle when it comes to exercise - this one is for you.

Do you ever feel like despite your best set plans, sometimes you really struggle to find the energy and motivation to move your body at the end of the day?
A lot can happen over the course of a day that can influence our desire to exercise - stressful day at work, unexpected emergencies, demands on your time and energy - it makes sense that some days are harder than others to feel motivated.
The usual advice is, just get it done first thing in the morning. But if you’re not a morning person, that is just as hard and requires a lot of willpower, so usually doesn’t last.
So what’s an evening exerciser to do?
Don’t worry - I got you.
Tune into for a mini coaching session where I’ll help you get to the root of your evening motivation struggles and guide you toward a solution that feels good for you.

When returning to a fitness routine, it can be really easy to fall into a trap of comparing yourself to a previous, fitter, version of yourself.
“How did I get so out of shape?”
“Why did I let myself go?”
“It’ll take me forever to get back to that level.”
“I used to feel so good, now everything is just hard.”
While it’s possible to improve our fitness and achieve goals by criticizing and antagonizing ourselves…. Often this kind of negative self talk results in staying stuck or at the very least, hating the process.
In this episode, Kim and co-host Lisa MacDonald will explore 4 steps to resuming a fitness routine, rooted in self compassion and kindness.

It’s true we all have 24 hours in a day, but we don’t have the SAME 24 hours.
This common fitspo phrase implies that no matter one’s circumstances or values - fitness should be a top priority; that it’s simply a matter of deciding to choose working out over other activities.
The truth is we all have different demands on our time, energy and mental resources. We all have different priorities and values. Movement matters, and also, you get to decide how much it matters to you.
Tune in to learn how to drop the weight of judgement and become the boss of your body and the manager of your priorities.

Non Scale Victories refer to those gains or benefits we experience from exercise routine besides weight loss.
Things like having more energy, being able to lift and move things without help, feeling less winded during everyday activities, and sleeping better at night.
While these are all good things, they are often viewed as “secondary wins”, things we usually only celebrate if we’re not seeing changes in our body’s shape or size.
In this episode we’ll explore why that is problematic and contributes to lack of motivation and consistency.

It’s no secret that sitting at a desk wreaks havoc on your body. If your job involves working at a computer, you’ll be all too familiar with the stiff neck and shoulders, tight hips and low back pain that tend to accompany this type of work.

I’ll share 5 quick and simple strategies to add more movement into your workday that you can implement today to start feeling better right away.

Tune in as we kick off a series I like to call “Fitness Motivation Sayings that are Anything But”. This week we’re exploring “embrace the suck”.
Like most of the fitspo mantras, embrace the suck is something that’s said in an attempt to motivate us to get the work done. But is it really motivating? I don’t think so.
Saying something like this to yourself, might result in you completing the workout… but it only reinforces the belief that exercise DOES suck, and that it HAS to suck in order to be effective… and the only way to experience any benefits from exercise is to use willpower and just do it.
Our thoughts are very powerful, but believing such negative things about exercise will never create the positive feeling of intrinsic motivation. Nobody sticks to something long term that they think sucks.
Listen to learn how you can begin to reframe those negative thoughts to something truly inspiring.

I’m back from my summer podcasting break, and though I was quiet, lots has been happening behind the scenes.
In this episode, I share a little update about what I’ve been up to personally and professionally over the summer months.
During my time away, I took time to reflect and evaluate on my business and I feel a renewed sense of passion and vision going forward.
Now, more than ever, I’m aware of just how many people the fitness industry leaves behind, and I’m on a mission to change that. Far too many people are missing out on the amazing benefits of moving their body because toxic fitspo makes fitness seem hard and out of reach.
My mission is to make movement accessible, safe and enjoyable for ALL women so they can feel and function their best while meeting their body where it’s at.
Tune in to hear how I’m working to make that happen.

Everyone has a different definition of what joyful movement means to them.
On this episode, we are joined by four of my dear friends who recently participated in an ultra trail marathon, where they all ran more than 50 km, overnight, through a bush. And they LIKED it (I just cannot imagine!)
And while each of them had their low points during the race, they all came out smiling. Their joy for the sport is palpable, and infectious.
Tune in to hear their inspiring stories where they share their “why” for running, including how they coach themselves through the tough times, and what running has taught them about themselves and life in general.
About our Guests: Bethany McRae, Tanya Mabon, Natalie Miltenburg and Robyn McClinchey are ultra trail marathon runners, mamas, trail sisters, and just all around amazing women that I’m honoured to call friends.

Enjoy this replay from The Joyful Movement Show "greatest hits".
“Joyful” movement doesn’t mean that every time we exercise it’s a nirvana-like state of bliss (although it is nice when that happens occasionally).
Rather, it’s a way of engaging with our body that’s kind, respectful and intuitive. It’s a knowing that whatever we do, whatever we have, who we ARE is enough, brought about by GRATITUDE
Brene Brown says that gratitude is the key to a joyful life, and I believe the same holds true for movement.
---
What you’ll learn by listening:
- The difference between happiness and joy
- How focusing on gratitude even when things are hard can help you find your joy
- Why we sometimes fear and sabotage joy, and how to sustain it
- Simple tools to practice gratitude (and therefore experience joy) during movement

If you’ve been struggling with the idea of “joyful” movement - this episode is for you.
Whether you’ve been consciously trying to move away from the fitspo “no pain, no gain” mentality, or exercise has really never been something you’ve enjoyed - joyful movement can seem like a pie in the sky that’s only accessible to select people.
It seems that as we reject the diet mentality that exercise needs to look a certain way and has to burn a certain number of calories or it’s not “enough”; there can be just as much pressure to suddenly find movement joyful. And as such, we start to believe that movement should be gentle and slow and an experience of true bliss, and when it’s not then we’re left confused and stuck.
Well, in this panel discussion, we're here to call bullsh*t on all of that. Tune in as Vanessa Preston, Jolyn Martin, Stefaine Bender and I talk all about the nuances of joyful movement, and the journey all of us went through in healing our relationship to exercise. We shared how we can engage with exercise and still work towards consistency even if it’s not exactly joyful and how taking a more neutral, grateful and intentional approach could be a good bridge between hateful exercise and joyful movement.
About our Guests:

She has worked in non-profit, residential, school, hospital and private practice settings.

Jolyn guides moms to find peace with food, discover the joy of movement, and ultimately live in a way their children could respect and follow.

Enjoy this replay from the JMS Greatest Hits:)
This week we’re chatting with Stacey who from her early teens until her late 30’s was either always on a diet or preparing for the next one. She shares how she thought that restricting food worked, because she’d always experience short term weight loss, but then would always give up and gain the weight back - and thought that SHE had failed.
When Stacey realized it wasn’t her fault, and that in fact 95% of diets don’t work long term, she knew there was no end to this vicious cycle of restriction. It wasn’t moving her closer to health- it was keeping her stuck in guilt and shame.
Listen as Stacey shares how she began the process of changing her relationship with food and how Intuitive Eating has transformed her life. Interestingly, when Stacey gave herself unconditional permission to eat, she felt less controlled by food and was able to move into a place of conscious, body respecting choices that help her feel and function her best.

All or Nothing thinking abounds in the fitness industry. Effective but erroneous marketing leads us to believe that we must workout hard for an hour 5 days a week or there’s no point; that we must sweat and be sore or we did it wrong; that we must lift the weights, do the cardio, and we must do it fast, heavy and with intensity…. Otherwise we’ll never get healthy.
I’ve met countless women who feel so stuck because they believe they have to do it all and do it perfectly, and when they can’t achieve or sustain the ideal, then anything less seems like failure and they give up.
It’s not a very motivating feeling.
Our guest today, Zara, is a participant in my Right Body for Me program, who has been able to transform her all or nothing thinking into creating a game she could win. She’s discovered joyful movement and feels motivated to chase health on her terms.
Listen in to hear how she made this transition and got un-stuck.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- Why we struggle with all or nothing thinking in terms of movement
- How all or nothing keeps us stuck, and how that affects our sense of self
- The mindset shift that is needed to move out of all or nothing
- How creating a game you can win sets you up to chase health on your terms.

For some, joyful movement can feel out of reach. Our history with sports, fitness, gyms and dieting can greatly influence our relationship with movement and our motivation to exercise.
I’ll often hear from people “I don’t even know where to start. I can’t think of one type of movement I’d enjoy”. Often at the root of this concern is a belief that the purpose of movement is to lose or control our weight.
That was the experience of our guest on today’s show. Kathy never identified as an “athletic type” and therefore didn’t feel comfortable in a gym, doing traditional fitness type activities. She assumed that there was no movement she’d enjoy because she associated movement with “working out” and assumed that anything else was not good enough.
Tune in to hear how Kathy got to the root of her struggles with movement and how it wasn’t really about the exercise itself.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How fitness culture’s focus on aesthetics is negatively affecting your motivation to move
- What’s really at the root of your motivation struggles
- Why trying a new program isn’t the answer
- How to feel better in and about your body without forcing yourself to do exercise you hate

On this episode, we are joined by Shauna Clark - mom of 4, kindergarten teacher and co-author of the book “Momming HARD”.
Shauna shares how movement, running specifically, has improved her mental wellbeing and renewed her sense of self since becoming a mom. And yet, she felt that her runs were depleting her precious energy. Though she enjoyed the activity and the time to herself, she felt “gassed” after and was frustrated by the struggle.
While she knew that adding strength training would improve how she felt, she felt intimidated to begin on her own, as she had no idea where to start, what to do or how to use the equipment at the gym. Investing in personal training seemed like a frivolous expense at first, but inside you’ll hear how Shauna found the courage to invest in herself and how strength training has not only improved her running, but has given her a sense of confidence in herself, where she feels safe and empowered to do hard things.

Setting and achieving goals can be a great way to challenge ourselves and celebrate the strength and power we often didn’t know was inside us. Mastering a new skill or participating in an event can be exciting, empowering and 100% joyful.
But, for some - that feeling of success and accomplishment might be a brand new emotion. If you’ve always believed that your body was weak, incapable or wrong - then it’s only natural that you’d want to hold on to and recreate those positive emotions whenever possible. And that’s where we run the risk of crossing over from joyfully challenging ourselves into chasing bigger and bigger goals and needing to prove ourselves.
Our guest on the show today bravely shares her experience with this. After a serious injury that left her bedridden, the goal of learning to run motivated Robyn to work through her rehab. What started out as a celebration of her body’s strength became a comparison trap fueled with chasing metrics in an effort to “improve” that left her feeling worse physically and mentally.
Tune in to learn how Robyn reframed her mindset about running to reclaim it as joyful movement and how changing her thoughts about running improved other areas of her life as well.

There’s no escaping the messaging in the fitness industry that thinner is better. When all we hear is “burn this, sculpt that, tone this, lose that”, it’s implied that the way to achieve any fitness goal is through weight loss. Whether we want to get stronger, improve our flexibility, have more endurance, decrease joint pain…. The prescribed solution is usually “lose weight”. And conversely, if we gain weight we assume it means we will struggle with all of these things.
In this episode, you’ll hear from Natalie, a fitness instructor who after years of dieting and controlling her body, reached her breaking point and began the process of intuitive eating. She’ll share the internal struggles she faced as her body changed, including fear of judgement and fear that she wouldn’t be able to keep doing her job.
Tune in to hear how Natalie not only reached a place of complete body acceptance, but also discovered that she can be strong, healthy and fit at any size.

On this episode, we’re joined by Angela a participant in the Right Body for Me coaching program.
Angela is a successful, intelligent, accomplished woman, with a happy marriage and beautiful daughter. Her life “looks great on paper” and yet like many women, she always felt like an imposter; unworthy of the love, acceptance and success she experienced because she was unhappy with her weight and appearance.
Though Angela spent years controlling her weight through dieting and exercise, and did experience weight loss at times, she never found that self-acceptance and contentment she was looking for. There was always a bigger goal or more weight to lose. And when “life happened”, and she was unable to maintain the level of control required to keep the weight off, she’d blame herself and feel guilty and ashamed for letting herself go.
Inside Angela shares her story of how she was able to find the food freedom and self confidence and acceptance she was looking for - and to accept the love that was around her - EVEN though she still doesn’t love her body. And how in doing so she’s been able to experience MORE success in her career, MORE connection with her family, and MORE self care.

On today’s episode, we are joined by Jennifer, a participant in the Right Body for Me coaching program.
Like many women, Jennifer spent her life cycling from one diet to another, never finishing or finding “success” with any of them. But, she continued to believe that losing weight was the answer to all her struggles and always hoped that the next one would “work” and she’d feel better.
Eventually she realized that dieting wasn’t working and she started dabbling in the non-diet approach, however it didn’t seem to matter how much she learned or what programs she tried, she never found that freedom she thought she would gain by ditching diets.
In our interview, you’ll hear how one to one coaching was the thing that made the difference for Jennifer. By having someone ask the tough questions, encourage her to dig down to the core issue and hold space for her - she finally felt safe to do the work to transform her limiting beliefs about health, weight and herself.
Jennifer shares how “doing the work” has given her the freedom she’s always wanted and opened up more possibilities than she even imagined.

In this episode, we are joined by Kimberly, a virtual personal training client of mine.
Kimberly had been doing great work with another coach around her relationship to food and body image, but was having difficulty engaging in movement without focusing on calorie burning or body shaping.
In the past, Kimberly had participated in extreme exercise behaviour, very much focused on aesthetics and weight, and had also been exposed to some harsh and demeaning training methods - all leaving her feeling really stuck and uncertain about how to exercise.
Kimberly wanted to improve her functional fitness and core strength, and knew she needed support to make sure she did so in a healthy and respectful way. Inside she’ll share what’s changed for her now that she’s improved her relationship with movement.

In this episode, we are joined by body image expert, Molly Siefert. Molly shares her body image story, illustrating how the quest to feel better in the face of a health challenge by restricting certain foods, resulted in weight loss and unexpected praise. This led Molly down the slippery slope of finding validation in eating clean, being disciplined with food and exercise, and a “role model” for health - and she shares how damaging it was to her relationship with food, exercise, her body and herself.
Inside we talk all about how dieting behaviour, or our relationship with food, really isn’t about the food. Rather, how we eat and think about food, is an expression of how we feel about our body and ourselves, which is formed by how we think of ourselves based upon our core beliefs about how a woman should look.
Molly shares some insightful tips to help you explore these core beliefs and how curiosity and self compassion can more you towards self-acceptance, greater connection and meeting your own needs.
---What you’ll learn by listening:
- Why body image is such a struggle for women and why it’s so harmful to praise weight loss
- How our body image stories are formed via the messaging we receive about women’s value being her appearance
- How our relationship with food stems from our relationship with our body, which stems from our relationship with OURSELVES.
- The sneaky ways we seek to validate our worth through perfectionism and people pleasing
- The ways in which we abandon our own needs when we feel not good enough, and how we can rebuild that connection with ourself through authentic self care.
---About our Guest:
Molly Seifert is a Body Image Coach and Mentor. She works with women who have decided to ditch dieting and now they feel uncomfortable in their body. The women she works with value authenticity but they feel held back from being fully themselves because of their body image. Molly helps them reconnect with their body so they can be unapologetically themselves, share their big gifts with the world and live their life authentically!

If you’ve ever taken part in any fitness challenges, then you’ll no doubt have heard how important it is to fuel your body properly before, during and after workouts to make sure that you get the best possible results. And if you’ve heard that, then you’re also likely very familiar with the precise measuring, weighing, timing and tracking that goes along with it.
For most, eating this way is complicated and unsustainable.
But is it even necessary?? Is it even true that we have to apply this level of precision to our nutrition in order to see results in our workouts?
The answer is no. While it IS important that we get ENOUGH food and nutrients to have the energy we need to fuel our activity and recover well, it certainly does not need to be complicated.
Tune in to learn how intuitive eating and gentle nutrition apply to fuelling your workouts.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- What happens inside your body during exercise. How the body produces energy and what fuel it requires to do so.
- The risks of underfuelling on fitness performance
- Why it’s sometimes hard to honour your hunger and what to do if you don’t feel hungry
- Four simple tips to make fuelling your workouts and recovery easy and fun.

One of the most common questions I get from clients is “what’s the best way to eat to fuel my body so I can feel and function my best…without dieting”.
The average woman tries 60+ diets by the age of 45, each one a little different from the next, and each one claiming that theirs is the “healthiest” or “right” way to eat. So it is no wonder we feel completely confused and overwhelmed about how to feed ourselves.
Nutrition and eating DOES seem complicated. The diet and fitness industries have made it so, so that you NEED to rely on them, rather than trust yourself and your body, to tell you how to eat.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. You don’t have to have a degree in nutritional science or perform complicated math formulas to eat in a healthful way and fuel yourself well.
Eating can be easy and simple and can support your health while also honouring your satisfaction and tastes.
Gentle nutrition means feeding yourself in a way that supports your health, and helps you feel and function your best, while also honouring your satisfaction. It’s honouring the sensual experience of eating while honouring how the food makes you feel. It’s having a healthy balance of foods, while having a healthy relationship with food.
---What you’ll learn by listening:
- Why following an eating plan SEEMS easier, but always ends in reverting to old habits
- The missing piece from all eating plans that is responsible for your cravings and “off plan indulgences” - spoiler alert: it’s not your lack of willpower
- How a gentler approach to nutrition can make eating easy, sustainable and fun and keep you off the cycle of “on plan/off plan” for good
- Tips to incorporate gentle nutrition into your life without changing your entire eating habits.

In today’s interview, my guest and I discussed her experience of competing in bikini fitness competitions. In this very candid interview, Katie Valley shared what it was like training for and competing in bikini competitions, and how this influenced her body image and relationship with food and exercise.
Katie talks about how her unhealthy obsession with weight and calories morphed into an obsession with health and “clean eating”, and when she realized that her healthy pursuits were really not so healthy.
Now having repaired her body image, and trusting her body as an intuitive eater, Katie has found the freedom, peace and confidence she always wished for.
As a new mom, she shares an inspiring message about how her daughter will grow up in a home free from diet talk and body shame.
Inside, Katie shares some excellent tips to help improve your relationship with food and body that apply not just to pregnant and postpartum people, but to us all.
---What you’ll learn by listening:
- What’s often really going on behind closed doors of those people who are often looked to as “role models” for fitness and health
- Why it’s so problematic to complement people’s body
- How to tell the difference between a healthy lifestyle and Orthorexia
- Why weight, fitness and nutrition are only a small piece of a person’s overall health status
- Why so many women struggle with negative body image
- Tips to improve body image and relationship with food during and after pregnancy (and always!)
---About our Guest: Katie Valley is a Holistic Nutritionist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor whose goal is to dispel the myths of diet culture and reinforce a holistic, health-focused approach to wellness. After her own experience with disordered eating and poor body image, Katie found true healing by practicing Intuitive Eating and Body Acceptance.

How would you describe your relationship with your body? Have you ever considered the relationship you have with your body before?
Whether you like your body or not, it is the longest and most important relationship you’ll have in your life. And how you engage with this relationship greatly influences how you engage with movement, food, and life in general.
And like any relationship, if its rooted in harsh words, criticism, control or punishment - it’s going to feel pretty awful living in your body. It’s also true that, like any relationship with another person, you’ll never find peace, acceptance, and harmony in the relationship by trying to force your body to change.
The good news is, you don’t have to love how your body looks to strengthen the relationship and feel better IN and ABOUT your body.
Tune in to learn:
- How our relationship with our body affects our exercise behaviour
- The reason why changing or attempting to change your body doesn’t result in unconditional body acceptance
- The real root cause behind your body image struggles
- What exactly body image is and how improving it is the key to feeling better in and about your body.
- How a relationship built on trust, respect and kindness allows you to easily make healthy choices without willpower or rules

How much fun are you allowing in your life?
So many folks resist fun because we have a core belief that things need to be hard to be worthwhile.
When it comes to our relationship with movement, the fitness industry perpetuates this belief with sayings like “go big or go home”, “no pain, no gain”, “if it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.
But the reality is - joy can’t exist when we’re fixated on hard.
However we can look for fun amidst the challenge and in doing so we can experience more joy in movement.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How the belief that “exercise has to be hard” influences your motivation
- The ways in which our core beliefs show up in every area of our life
- Journal prompts to get you thinking about how you can allow more fun and ease in your movement practice and life in general.

Welcome to part 4 of this four part series all about weight and health.
Most people believe that in order to improve in any area of fitness (strength, endurance, speed, mobility, etc), they must achieve a certain body weight. As such, when people set fitness goals, there is usually a weight loss goal attached. We think that if we lose weight, we will become stronger, faster and fitter through the act of weight loss alone.
This is not only untrue, but it can be quite problematic.
This week, we are joined by Dr. Cindy Dallow, a registered dietician who specializes in women’s health and sports nutrition. In this episode, Cindy and I discuss how weight is an inaccurate predictor of fitness and how losing or gaining weight has very little bearing on our fitness level.
Instead, Cindy teaches us what to focus on if we do want to improve our fitness level and how we can do so safely and sustainably.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- The set point range theory of weight and what can happen to our metabolism, athletic performance and fitness when we try to lose weight below our set point range
- How focusing on cardiorespiratory fitness is a much better predictor of health than BMI
- Why losing weight doesn’t necessarily make you fitter, faster or stronger and how it can actually impair your fitness
- Why it’s much more beneficial to our health to focus on fitness than weight
- The amount and type of activity required to yield the greatest health benefits
About our Guest: Dr. Cindy Dallow has worked in the field of nutrition and fitness for 30+ years. She is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and has a private practice where she specializes in women's health and sports nutrition.

Welcome to part 3 of this four part series debunking the myths about weight and health.
On today’s show, we are joined by Dr. Jenn Salib-Huber, Registered Dietician and Naturopathic Doctor, and we’re talking all things mid-life and perimenopause.
The midlife years bring with them so many changes - emotionally, mentally and physically. And many women will experience a new level of body image dissatisfaction as well during this time as their body responds to the hormonal changes within.
During this episode, Jenn shares so much wisdom about how to navigate these changes and to feel good IN our body during midlife by focusing on habits and choices that we can control and will make a difference in our overall health, regardless of what is happening to our shape or weight.
While most of the mainstream advice around perimenopause centers around fighting the changes our body is experiencing, Jenn offers a more intuitive and kind perspective.
Through understanding, self-compassion, attunement and gentle nutrition, we can navigate this stage of life as our body’s ally and support ourselves to thrive in midlife.
Jenn’s practical advice will leave you feeling empowered to make the most out of your midlife years.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- Why most of the mainstream advice about midlife focuses on weight loss and how this misses the point
- How to take the focus off feeling better ABOUT your body to feeling better IN your body
- Why it is so important to stop using weight as a proxy for health
- Why nutrition matters but not in the way we’ve been led to believe.
- Why restricting carbohydrates is NOT necessary to feel better in midlife (or ever)
- How we can stop dieting without feeling like we’ve let ourselves go
- How joyful movement can help us support our physical, mental and emotional health during midlife.
---About our Guest:Dr. Jenn Salib Huber is a Canadian Registered Dietitian and Naturopathic Doctor and Intuitive Eating Coach and she's on a mission to help women thrive in midlife. She helps women navigate the physical and emotional changes that happen in perimenopause and menopause, including their search for food freedom and body confidence. Working from a health at every size approach, she teaches women to become intuitive eaters and build body confidence at any stage of midlife.

In this episode we address a common question - “is there a healthy way to lose weight”.
Most people know that restrictive eating, extreme exercise, tracking calories, detoxes, and miracle pills do not work in the long term and will likely result in rebound weight gain.
But there’s a new trend in the fitness and weight loss industry suggesting that we can get lasting, sustainable weight loss by making simple lifestyle changes like drinking more water, eating more whole foods, moving regularly, reducing stress and getting more sleep.
On this episode we discuss:
- What we mean by “healthy” weight loss
- Answer the question if it’s possible to get sustained weight loss without restriction, tracking, extreme exercise or deprivation
- Why we’re missing the point when we adopt health seeking behaviours for the purpose of weight loss
- How focusing on what we can control (our behaviours and habits) is more productive than focusing on weight
- The social determinants of health, and how our eating and exercise behaviour isn’t the be all end all for health
- Why the phrase “it’s ok to be in a larger body as long as you’re healthy” is so problematic

Can you identify with any of these commonly held beliefs about exercise?
- If it’s not an hour, it’s not worth it
- If I didn’t sweat or feel sore, it wasn’t good enough
- You need to show up every day and put the work in
- Walking isn’t exercise
- Stretching doesn’t count
- If I don’t give it my all, I’ll never make progress
All or nothing thinking like this keeps us stuck believing that anything short of perfectionism is failure and therefore we cycle through short, sporadic intense bursts of activity, followed by periods of sedentariness. Which only prevents us from having a consistent, enjoyable movement practice and experiencing all the benefits that come from it.
I believe that all bodies need movement, but we don’t need “exercise” - and I’m on a mission to help ALL women experience the benefits of regular movement without all the pressure, guilt and shame that accompanies this all or nothing thinking (that’s also rooted in the perceived need to change our bodies).
In this episode, I’ll take you inside a recent training I did during my free “Show Me the Motivation” challenge. Inside you’ll learn how to get out of all or nothing and create a game you can win by focusing on progress, rather than perfection.
Mentioned in the show: Enrollment is now open for my signature program “Discover Joyful Movement”. This 12 week movement + mindset group coaching program is perfect for the woman who’s ready to get off the start stop cycle with exercise and find what moves YOU. I’ll not only teach you the “how to” part of movement, by coaching you through exercise in a totally weight neutral, functional, safe way. I’ll also help you address the “why” part by helping you to explore the limiting beliefs you hold about exercise, weight, health and yourself - so that you can finally have that consistent, sustainable, enjoyable movement practice that allows you to feel and function your best.

It’s the third week of February and in the fitness world, we refer to this week as the week where New Year’s Resolutions go to die.
Of course, I’m not a fan of New Year’s resolutions in the first place, but it seems that 5-7 weeks seems to be the lifespan of most goals, no matter when you set them. After that time, willpower starts to wane and motivation dwindles.
The natural instinct when this happens is to set a new goal - a bigger goal with tighter rules, more discipline, less “chance to fail”.
But consider this - it’s not your fault. Nothing has gone wrong.
On this episode we’re going to explore a mindset block that is almost universally operating in your unconscious mind when you set goals, that if we’re unaware of SABOTAGES our best efforts to make change.
This mindset block is the root of all of our all or nothing or perfectionist behaviour, people pleasing and fantasizing about weight loss.
Tune in to learn how you can identify how this mindset block shows up for you and how you can transform it so that you can find that consistent motivation to progress towards your goals without feeling like you’re a failure if you don’t achieve them.
---Mentioned in the show: Doors are now open for my 12 week group coaching program Discover Joyful Movement. Discover Joyful Movement is the only program of it’s kind that addresses both movement AND mindset.

Carrying on from last week’s conversation “F*ck Joyful Movement”, this episode will explore practical ways that we can engage with movement if joy seems elusive or even if strong emotions are present while we move.
In this episode we’ll clear up some misconceptions about joy and how movement doesn’t have to be sunshine and rainbows all the time, but rather how we can bridge the gap between hateful exercise and joyful movement.
As well, we’ll discuss why difficult emotions are sometimes present during exercise and why it’s not wrong to feel them but rather how we can use movement as a way to process and change our emotional state.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How to redefine joy so that it feels more accessible
- How intentional movement can be a great neutral ground between hateful exercise and joyful movement
- The purpose of our emotions and why it’s normal and OK for all emotions to be present during exercise
- How movement can help with emotional self-regulation
- Specific ways to move to process feelings of anger, sadness, fear and to cultivate happiness.

If you’ve been struggling with the idea of “joyful” movement - this episode is for you.
Whether you’ve been consciously trying to move away from the fitspo “no pain, no gain” mentality, or exercise has really never been something you’ve enjoyed - joyful movement can seem like a pie in the sky that’s only accessible to select people.
It seems that as we reject the diet mentality that exercise needs to look a certain way and has to burn a certain number of calories or it’s not “enough”; there can be just as much pressure to suddenly find movement joyful. And as such, we start to believe that movement should be gentle and slow and an experience of true bliss, and when it’s not then we’re left confused and stuck.
Well, in this panel discussion, we're here to call bull sh*t on all of that. Tune in as Vanessa Preston, Jolyn Martin, Stefaine Bender and I talk all about the nuances of joyful movement, and the journey all of us went through in healing our relationship to exercise. We shared how we can engage with exercise and still work towards consistency even if it’s not exactly joyful and how taking a more neutral, grateful and intentional approach could be a good bridge between hateful exercise and joyful movement.
Warning - this episode is explicit, so pop the earbuds in if children are present. ---

Do you believe in your ability to achieve the goals you set for yourself this year? Or has self doubt crept in and convinced you that it’s going to be too hard, or that you don’t have what it takes to achieve what you set out to?
I believe that self doubt is THE thing that stands in the way of us achieving our goals.
In this episode we’ll talk about:
- How our brain creates thought errors to sabotage us and keep us in our comfort zone (aka stuck)
- How we are socialized as women to doubt ourselves, and play small in our lives
- Why achieving your goals isn’t about making an action plan and using self discipline to follow the steps.
- Rather, that in order to get the results you desire in life, you need to know deep within yourself what you want and believe in yourself enough to stay the course
- How a coach can help shine a light on the thoughts that are holding you back and support you to create a mindset of self-belief

On this episode, we welcome Lisa Dahl who shares how our body talk and the ways we speak about food and bodies around home affects our kids.
Lisa and I discussed:
- How the early messages we send to our kids about eating (have more, it’s not time to eat, eat this not that) cause children to distrust their own cues and their body
- How body talk, of any kind, leads kids into comparing their body to the so-called ideal and to begin to believe that their worth is found in their appearance.
- Tips for body neutral language you can use around your house and how to cultivate an attitude of “all bodies are good bodies” and gratitude for what our body can do rather than focusing on how our body looks
- How we can teach our kids to honour their own bodies cues in order to build body trust and autonomy.
- Why we first need to do our own work to heal our own relationship to food, exercise and body image before we can teach our kids to do the same.
About our Guest:Lisa Dahl is a certified Intuitive Eating and Body Image Health Coach. Through Intuitive Eating, she helps women make peace with their food and body.

However 90% of goals are abandoned before completion which can leave us feeling discouraged and disappointed in ourself.

We're taking a break at The Joyful Movement Show over the month of December. Please enjoy this classic replay and we'll see you back here with a fresh new season on January 3rd, 2022.Most people begin the New Year with fresh goals - a desire to grow, improve and become a better version of themselves.
Usually around this time though, the motivation and resolve you had January first starts to fizzle. We are either relying heavily on willpower at this point, or are feeling like a failure because the willpower has run out.
80% of New Years Goals are abandoned by February 1st, and 90% sometime after that.
Why is this?? It’s not because you failed. It’s not because you weren’t strong enough or did something wrong.
It’s because the way that we have been taught to set goals is flawed. We’ve been taught to chase outcomes and that when we achieve the outcome we’ll feel better - but that rarely happens.
On this episode, I’ll teach you the mistakes we make with goal setting the traditional way, and the mindset shift that is required to set goals that actually inspire you into action that WILL result in that feeling of success and pride that you are after.
Tune in to rekindle your spark and breath new life into your goals for this year.

We're taking a break at The Joyful Movement Show over the month of December. Please enjoy this classic replay and we'll see you back here with a fresh new season on January 3rd, 2022.On this week’s episode, we’re talking about the 6th principle of joyful movement which is to stop relying on external validation. By that I mean fitness trackers, apps and even the scale to tell you that you are doing it “right” in terms of exercise.
About 20% of people in north america wear a fitness tracker, but it’s interesting to note that about ⅓ of people who own one will stop wearing it within 6 months and almost half will stop within a year. Which leads me to question - why?
It seems that a lot of women struggle in their relationship with a wearable tracker. In one study that looked at 200 women with a Fitbit tracker, 79% felt pressured to reach their daily targets, while 59% reported that they felt their daily routines to be controlled by Fitbit.
Feeling pressure to perform, keep up or compete- these lead to negative feelings about movement - like anxiety, or not being good enough. Whenever we feel negativity towards movement, it’s really hard to feel motivated.
Listen to discover how your fitness tracker could be killing your motivation or causing you to have an unhealthy relationship with exercise, and how practicing attunement can help you re-discover joyful movement.

We're taking a break at The Joyful Movement Show over the month of December. Please enjoy this classic replay and we'll see you back here with a fresh new season on January 3rd, 2022.Tune in as we continue on with our series on the 10 principles of joyful movement. This week we discuss principle 3 - Just say no to punishment. We’ve been told for a long time-”no pain, no gain”. The myth is that the only way to get fit is to push ourselves to the brink 5-6 days a week. We’re told we need to be stronger than our excuses.
But I don’t think it’s working.
No Pain No Gain is the most overused “motivational” saying, that is really anything but.
Buying into this mentality gets us nowhere but injured and exhausted, so we inevitably give up.
In this episode, I’ll give you tools you can use to know the difference between challenging yourself and pain and how to achieve steady progress towards your goals without dreading exercise.

Welcome to part 4 of this 5 part series about how to eat normally.
This week we’re chatting with Stacey who from her early teens until her late 30’s was either always on a diet or preparing for the next one. She shares how she thought that restricting food worked, because she’d always experience short term weight loss, but then would always give up and gain the weight back - and thought that SHE had failed.
When Stacey realized it wasn’t her fault, and that in fact 95% of diets don’t work long term, she knew there was no end to this vicious cycle of restriction. It wasn’t moving her closer to health- it was keeping her stuck in guilt and shame.
Listen as Stacey shares how she began the process of changing her relationship with food and how Intuitive Eating has transformed her life. Interestingly, when Stacey gave herself unconditional permission to eat, she felt less controlled by food and was able to move into a place of conscious, body respecting choices that help her feel and function her best.

Do you feel like you’re an emotional eater? If you said no, think again! How do you feel when you think about your grandma’s apple pie? Or the chicken noodle soup your mom made for you when you were sick?
Food is tied to memories, celebration, and comfort - if you’re a human on earth, you definitely experience emotion while eating.
The problem is we are taught to feel ashamed of eating for comfort; or that if we have uncomfortable feelings it is wrong to cope with them with food.
Tune into this episode as Kim interviews Sabrina Rogers, licensed mental health counsellor as we discuss all the ins and outs of emotional eating.
What you’ll learn by listening:
1. Why we’re all emotional eaters
2. Why we turn to food to cope with difficult feelings
3. The reason food works to make us feel better and how we’re conditioned to believe this is a bad thing.
4. How mindfulness and curiosity can help reduce the guilt associated with emotional eating.
---About our Guest: Sabrina Rogers is a licensed mental health counselor, intuitive eating and body image expert, and recovering perfectionist. After healing her own disordered eating and body image issues, she's helping women make the shift to intuitive eating and body acceptance. Sabrina provides 1:1 and group counseling to individuals in Iowa, and 1:1 and group coaching through Healthily Ever After, a 20 week program to help perfectionistic women look and feel like they have their shit together. Sabrina is also the host of The Emotional Eating Therapist Show podcast.

“Joyful” movement doesn’t mean that every time we exercise it’s a nirvana-like state of bliss (although it is nice when that happens occasionally).
Rather, it’s a way of engaging with our body that’s kind, respectful and intuitive. It’s a knowing that whatever we do, whatever we have, who we ARE is enough, brought about by GRATITUDE
Brene Brown says that gratitude is the key to a joyful life, and I believe the same holds true for movement.
---What you’ll learn by listening:
- The difference between happiness and joy
- How focusing on gratitude even when things are hard can help you find your joy
- Why we sometimes fear and sabotage joy, and how to sustain it
- Simple tools to practice gratitude (and therefore experience joy) during movement

Should you use a fitness tracker? Is it compatible with intuitive movement? Is it possible to move for joy while tracking?
Short answer- I don’t know.
Long answer - there’s a lot of things to consider to help you decide if it’s right or wrong for you.
At the end of the day, your relationship with the data your tracker provides is a lot more significant than the data itself.
Tune in to explore your thoughts and the meaning you're attaching to your fitness tracker.

What you’ll learn by listening:
- Why people judge others and why we are affected by their judgement
- How to stop caring what other people think

There’s no escaping the messaging in the fitness industry that thinner is better. When all we hear is “burn this, sculpt that, tone this, lose that”, it’s implied that the way to achieve any fitness goal is through weight loss. Whether we want to get stronger, improve our flexibility, have more endurance, decrease joint pain…. The prescribed solution is usually “lose weight”. And conversely, if we gain weight we assume it means we will struggle with all of these things.
In this episode, you’ll hear from Natalie, a fitness instructor who after years of dieting and controlling her body, reached her breaking point and began the process of intuitive eating. She’ll share the internal struggles she faced as her body changed, including fear of judgement and fear that she wouldn’t be able to keep doing her job.
Tune in to hear how Natalie not only reached a place of complete body acceptance, but also discovered that she can be strong, healthy and fit at any size.

What do you say to yourself during exercise? Do you find your inner critic gets really loud in the face of a challenge, do you judge yourself or call yourself names (lazy, out of shape, clumsy)?
Our self-talk directly influences how we feel about exercise and how we’ll engage with it - whether that’s avoidance, having to use willpower, pushing through pain or becoming overly competitive. And if our self-talk is critical, rooted in fear, shame or a sense of inadequacy - it’s impossible to access joyful movement. The two cannot exist simultaneously.
If you’re struggling to get your head around this whole joyful movement thing, it could be because your self-talk story centers around needing to fix yourself, control your body, or change something you don’t like about yourself.
In this episode, Kim will teach you how to reframe your mindset and speak to yourself in a way that opens you up to experience joy.

Content warning - this episode deals with topics such as internalized fat-phobia, medical weight stigma and anti-fat bias.
Jemma, our guest on the show today introduces herself as a fat, able-bodied, white woman, who throughout her life has internalized the belief that her life is less valuable because of her size.
In this episode, Jemma shares her experiences of discrimination and weight stigma, and how these affected her mental and emotional wellbeing and her self-worth. For her whole life, Jemma believed her body was wrong, and she in turn was a bad person because she couldn’t fix herself and therefore didn’t deserve any joy or good things in life.
So when it came to moving her body, the idea of joyful movement was impossible. She wanted to move her body, but more notably - she felt that she needed to move her body to fix herself, and as such there was a block around moving for joy.
Tune in to hear Jemma’s vulnerable and inspiring story of transformation, how she began to feel confident in her worth and heal her relationship with movement, food, her body and her SELF.

If you’re feeling anxious about returning to normal life because of the weight you might have gained during quarantine, this episode is for you!
It’s true, many of us have experienced body changes during the pandemic, myself included. And weight gain is often accompanied by feelings of fear, embarrassment and shame - meaning it’s only natural that you’d want to lose the weight before you go back into the world where you risk being judged by others.
But before you jump on the next program guaranteeing to help you shed the Covid-15, and fill your life with restriction, punishment and MORE stress, let’s take a moment to unpack what we really need at this moment.
Inside this episode we’ll chat about weight gain, why we fear it and how to move forward without beating ourselves up.
Tune in while Kim shares strategies to help you return to feeling your best, and having the routine and self care habits in your life that you may have been missing while still being kind and respectful to your body.

It’s not everyday you get to sit down with an Olympic athlete! I’m very excited to welcome Julie-Anne Staehli to The Joyful Movement Show this week.
Julie-Anne is a local legend, if you live near me in mid-western Ontario you would have definitely been watching as she represented Canada in the women's 5000 m at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Something I noticed about Julie-Anne as I was watching her journey leading up to and during the games was how happy she seemed. She radiated joy for her sport and I found that fascinating because often competition, especially at such a high level is anything but joyful.
Tune in to hear about Julie-Anne’s Olympic experience. Inside the interview we talked about:
- Where Julie-Anne’s passion for running came from
- How she sets goals and finds the motivation to keep going
- Julie-Anne’s strategies for work/life balance and where she finds support.
- The self-talk and mindset tools Julie-Anne employs to maintain her sense of self and joy for her sport regardless of her performance
About our Guest:
Julie-Anne Staehli is a 5000m runner from Lucknow, ON who just competed in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. She went to Queen’s University for a Bachelor of Arts Honours and Master of Science in Health Studies and Sport Psychology.

On today’s episode of The Joyful Movement Show, I’m chatting with Gillian Yuan about all the pressures on moms to do all the things and to do them right, all while facing hormonal changes, lack of sleep, body changes and adapting to their new role.
We had a heart to heart chat about the challenges moms face and how these pressures to be a “good mom” actually cause us to disconnect with our intuition.
We chatted about how important it is to heal our own relationship with food so you can help your kids do the same. And we got into how moms can cultivate a sense of body trust even when things are changing and unfamiliar.
Gillian has a gift for helping new moms to trust their body and release the guilt while raising healthy, confident kids.
If you’re a new mom, tune in to be inspired by Gillian’s gentle and empowering pearls of wisdom.

We all have those days when we don’t feel like working out. It’s ok - and it doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong or that you’ve failed. Feeling unmotivated is an invitation to look deeper at our mindset or circumstances.
In this episode, Kim will walk you through some questions you can ask yourself to see what’s contributing to your lack of motivation and how to decide what to do on those blah days when you’re just not feeling it.

“Now just turn this into a lifestyle - and that’s how you’ll keep the weight off for good”... “Everyone can achieve a ‘healthy’ weight with enough hard work and discipline”... These are just two of the many lies the fitness industry tells to keep you coming back.
Our guest on the show today learned very early in her career as a personal trainer that the things she was recommending to her clients were not sustainable - working out intensely up to two hours a day, cutting carbs, taking supplements, meal plan and prep… it was a full time job.
As a mom and a trainer who works with moms she saw the fear and shame this was causing in the moms she worked with and how it was making fitness inaccessible and not enjoyable.
Jolyn wants moms listening to know that there is another way - one that allows you to have that confidence and acceptance you’re longing for regardless of your appearance and one that allows you to have freedom with food, joy for movement and peace of mind.
---About our Guest:
Jolyn Martin is a certified personal trainer, group fitness instructor and intuitive eating & body image coach from Kitchener, ON. Jolyn is a mom of 2 and is passionate about helping other moms heal their relationship with food, body and exercise. Shortly after starting her career in the fitness world, she started to notice the dangerous and toxic effects of chasing thinness and finding self-worth in body image. After dismantling her own beliefs, Jolyn has now made it her life mission to help other moms change their mindset around self-worth. Jolyn guides moms to find peace with food, discover the joy of movement, and ultimately live in a way their children could respect and follow.

Intuitive movement is all about tuning in to how your body feels, how you want to feel and choosing movement that will help you get the desired feeling.
Often though, we can get stuck in the “how”, where we’re unsure what type of movement to choose that will result in the feeling we are after.
Diet culture is so effective in leading us to believe that there are right and wrong ways to exercise, that we can forget about the multitude of movement options available to us at any given moment.
In this episode, Kim will walk you through the process of building a “movement toolkit” - a varied list of activities, that you enjoy, and you can draw from no matter your mood so that you can go beyond all or nothing and into the realm of abundant possibility.

Our guest on the show today is a recovering perfectionist. She’s a nutritionist, and like myself and so many others in the industry always felt the pressure to be a role model for health - eat impeccably, exercise regularly, maintain an “ideal” weight. Like so many of us in this industry, we feel the need to live a life of perfection in order to inspire our clients.
In our interview Ardelle will share how a traumatic accident forced her out of perfectionism and into self-compassion and how this transformed her relationship with herself and her career.
Ardelle talks about how we need not feel ashamed by chronic pain or a health condition. Rather how we can view our symptoms as reminders to return to self-care.
She shares how we can reclaim our joy and confidence and live the life of our dreams by healing our relationship to our body.

On today’s episode we’re answering a listener’s question. She asked “is planning your workouts or movement sessions compatible with intuitive movement? I like the idea of listening to my body’s cues but I also like having some structure and I’m not sure what to do without a plan to follow”.
Tune in to learn how it doesn’t have to be one or the other. Having a plan can be a helpful tool to keep you progressing toward your goals, but it can also cause feelings of pressure and overwhelm if it is too rigid.
There is a middle ground that allows you to plan and progress while still listening to and responding to your body. Kim will talk you through the process of “Intuitive Planning” that she teaches her students inside “Discover Joyful Movement”.

Feeling more confident is usually the goal behind the desire to lose weight. Everyone wants to FEEL better in and about their body, and it is their hope that changing their body will result in this feeling of confidence.
The unfortunate reality is that weight loss doesn’t change how we view ourselves; the new found confidence we might experience feels inauthentic because it’s conditional upon our appearance. Besides, it quickly turns into deeper body shame when we inevitably regain the weight.
Our guest on the show today has an interesting point of view on this topic and what’s behind that “I’m not good enough voice. Vanessa Preston is a trauma and shame expert, who has observed in her therapy practice the ways in which trauma and the accompanying negative feelings influence body image and relationship to food and movement.
Tune in to learn how our experiences shape our self worth and how we often use weight loss as a means to quiet the voice in our head that says we’re not good enough. Vanessa shares the true secret to confidence - self compassion.

She has worked in non-profit, residential, school, hospital and private practice settings.

What goes through your mind when you hear fitspo ‘motivation’ saying “you have to be stronger than your excuses”? For me it screams “forget what’s going on in your mind or in your life, buck up and show up, drum up some willpower and just do it.”
It’s not a very motivating phrase and is loaded with all or nothing, right and wrong, good and bad connotations. It minimizes the barriers we face and takes us out of our autonomy. It causes us to believe there’s one right way to become healthy, strong and fit; and if we can’t or won’t conform to the “right way” - we are weak.
Tune in as we explore the truth about excuses - how they are a cover up we use to avoid saying what we really think. In this episode, I’ll help you move out of the all or nothing and back into your power so you can choose what’s best for you and feel no need to use excuses.

Setting and achieving goals can be a great way to challenge ourselves and celebrate the strength and power we often didn’t know was inside us. Mastering a new skill or participating in an event can be exciting, empowering and 100% joyful.
But, for some - that feeling of success and accomplishment might be a brand new emotion. If you’ve always believed that your body was weak, incapable or wrong - then it’s only natural that you’d want to hold on to and recreate those positive emotions whenever possible. And that’s where we run the risk of crossing over from joyfully challenging ourselves into chasing bigger and bigger goals and needing to prove ourselves.
Our guest on the show today bravely shares her experience with this. After a serious injury that left her bedridden, the goal of learning to run motivated Robyn to work through her rehab. What started out as a celebration of her body’s strength became a comparison trap fueled with chasing metrics in an effort to “improve” that left her feeling worse physically and mentally.
Tune in to learn how Robyn reframed her mindset about running to reclaim it as joyful movement and how changing her thoughts about running improved other areas of her life as well.

Pregnancy and the postpartum period are full of changes - physically, mentally and emotionally and moms struggle to accept themselves and their body during this time. That can lead to restrictive food behaviour, or engaging in exercise that is too intense or demanding and can potentially delay healing or cause damage.

Traditionally, in the fitness industry, progress and success are measured through external metrics like body weight, body fat percentage, body part measurements or fitness metrics such as heart rate, one rep max or running speed.
But are these really accurate measures of “success”, or simply data points at a given point in time? And how does focusing on such metrics affect our relationship with movement and ourselves?
Motivation and consistency are the most common barriers for people when it comes to movement and current research indicates that the traditional model of focusing purely on body shape and composition is a cause. Therefore the traditional measurements of success which are centered around these things are a detriment to motivation and consistency.
In order to discover joyful, consistent movement, we need to redefine success. Rather than chasing extrinsic metrics, we need to identify what matters to us. Intuitive movement, and focusing on how we want to FEEL in our body is the gateway to feeling intrinsically motivated to move.
Our guest on the show today, Kasey Shuler is a personal trainer who specializes in intuitive movement. After seeing how external metrics were affecting her clients exercise adherence she changed her practice to empower her clients to chase feelings not numbers. As a result, she now offers a continuing education course for personal trainers to help them adopt an intuitive approach as well.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How focusing on external metrics affects your motivation
- How to set goals independent of weight or body composition
- Ways to measure success or progress without relying on external metrics
- How to tap into your intuition and move in a way that is joyful

May is mental health awareness month so it’s a perfect time to talk about the effects movement can have on our mental wellbeing.
We are all familiar with the many benefits of physical activity on our mental health that are often touted as a reason to get active. Regular movement can contribute to reduced stress, improved mood and a clearer mind, better quality of sleep, a sense of social connection and connection to self.
What’s not often talked about are the ways that exercise or fitness programs can actually be detrimental to mental health. It’s important to acknowledge both sides of the coin and shed light on the lived experience of many folks who have a disordered or traumatic relationship with exercise - one which can cause or exacerbate mental health conditions.
As fitness professionals we need to be aware of how our environments, language and behaviour can affect people and contribute positively or negatively to their overall well being. If you’re a fit pro, this is an important episode to listen to.
For those who have experienced a disordered relationship with exercise and subsequent detrimental effects on your mental well being - tune in for strategies to reframe your mindset about movement so that it can be a help, not a hindrance.
What you’ll learn by listening:6 ways that regular movement can boost your mental well being
- How exercise can be an important part of a balanced treatment plan for those with anxiety and depression, but why we need to be careful with phrases like “exercise is my therapy”
- The ways in which exercise can actually be a detriment to one’s mental health and the red flags to watch for
- How weight stigma in fitness environments is contributing to worsening physical and mental health in those in large bodies.
- The responsibility of fitness professionals to become weight-inclusive in order to help ALL people achieve their health goals
- Strategies to heal your relationship with movement so that it can become a way to foster good mental health.

Burnout - the general feeling of depletion or complete exhaustion is the inevitable result of overextending ourselves. With the global stress that is currently being experienced, many people are finding their bandwidth being consumed by new and increasing roles and responsibilities, alongside a multitude of significant stressors.
In my fitness practice, I’m seeing the effects of burnout on people’s motivation and desire to move. I’m noticing a common theme of women struggling to keep up with all the new pressures and then judging themselves as “bad” because they’ve strayed from their usual exercise or eating habits.
As May is Mental Health awareness month, it’s a perfect time to shine some light on this syndrome of burnout.
I’m joined on this episode by Dr. Kate Hazlitt, ND who shares all about what burnout is, how it shows up in our life and how it's really a sign of a core belief about yourself.
Dr. Kate highlighted why it’s so important to have compassion and grace for yourself, rather than judging and trying to prove ourselves by “doing all the things”.
Tune in to learn how you can move through burnout by tapping into what’s already inside you.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- What burnout is, how it shows up and how it hijacks our body and mind
- How our mindset and outlook on life can lead us into a burnt out state
- The root issue behind the desire to “do all the things”
- What tends to result when we try to “push through” periods of low energy
- How movement can help you process stress and begin to see your thoughts and emotions with clarity
- The three things that help to protect against burnout
- How you can begin to cultivate a new, self-compassionate mindset that is more resilient to burnout.
About our Guest:
Dr. Kate Hazlitt, ND is on a mission to help women learn to take care of themselves. The secret agenda is that when women learn this - how to regulate their nervous systems and can cultivate the inner resources to access joy and fulfillment, it will create a ripple effect for our world, for our children and all the future generations. Kate has a degree in Psychology, is a Naturopathic Doctor with 15 years experience, and a Compassionate Inquiry practitioner.

In the non-diet space there tends to be a misconception that rejecting punitive, transactional exercise means rejecting intense activity and only doing gentle movement like walking or yoga.
While it’s true that fitness culture and diet culture are deeply intertwined and often there’s a belief perpetuated that the only point of exercise is to achieve a certain look or level of fitness; it’s not true that the equipment or the gym environment or the activity itself are inherently toxic. It’s the attitude around it.
In rejecting the gym police and embracing joyful movement, you don’t need to reject gyms or cardio equipment or lifting weights. You just need to reject the RULES and the belief that there’s a right or wrong way to exercise. There’s no good or bad - it’s all about building a movement tool kit full of things that serve your body, mind and spirit so that movement can become a way that you care for yourself as opposed to a “have to” on your to do list.
Can weight lifting be intuitive movement - Absolutely!!
Can it be joyful - you bet it can!
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s all about challenging yourself on your terms.
Tune in to learn how strength training can be a joyful component of your movement toolkit.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How weight lifting can be an important part of your movement toolkit
- The weight neutral benefits of strength training on your physical, mental and spiritual health
- Three simple questions you can ask yourself before, during and after each workout to ensure that you’re moving in an intuitive and joyful way
- What it means to challenge yourself on your terms
- How to safely incorporate strength training if you’re a beginner
- How to find a weight-inclusive, non-diet trainer or gym and how to advocate for yourself if you’re confronted by diet culture in your gym.

For some, joyful movement can feel out of reach. Our history with sports, fitness, gyms and dieting can greatly influence our relationship with movement and our motivation to exercise.
I’ll often hear from people “I don’t even know where to start. I can’t think of one type of movement I’d enjoy”. Often at the root of this concern is a belief that the purpose of movement is to lose or control our weight.
That was the experience of our guest on today’s show. Kathy never identified as an “athletic type” and therefore didn’t feel comfortable in a gym, doing traditional fitness type activities. She assumed that there was no movement she’d enjoy because she associated movement with “working out” and assumed that anything else was not good enough.
Tune in to hear how Kathy got to the root of her struggles with movement and how it wasn’t really about the exercise itself.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How fitness culture’s focus on aesthetics is negatively affecting your motivation to move
- What’s really at the root of your motivation struggles
- Why trying a new program isn’t the answer
- How to feel better in and about your body without forcing yourself to do exercise you hate

If you follow any fitness influencers or trainers on instagram, then I venture to guess your feed is littered with pictures of women working out in sports bras and bike shorts, posing in their bikinis, flexing six packs and bubble butts. Or you’re seeing all kinds of “inspiring success stories” highlighting people’s weight loss journey - maybe you’ve even taken such photos or been a “before and after” case at one point yourself.
Today we’re talking about “fitspiration” photos or before-and-after pictures because it’s my belief that these kinds of images are not only NOT inspiring but are actually killing your motivation to move and perpetuating a negative body image. In my opinion they are the most toxic byproduct of the fitness industry, and I don’t say that lightly.
This type of imagery might seem inspiring, but tune in to explore how it could be contributing to a sense of false hope and shame. Rooted in comparison, pictures like these make you believe that this perfect, fit, thin ideal is realistic, achievable and maintainable for any woman. When in reality only about 3% of the population actually has the genetic makeup to look this way without extremely restrictive behaviours.
We tend to think that being our BEST SELF means being in our BEST shape. Tune in as we challenge this belief and expose how fitness culture is set up to make you hate your body - and how you can begin to separate your health and your worth from your appearance.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- The three BIG problems with “fitspiration” imagery
- What you’re not seeing behind the photo
- How comparing yourself to someone’s “after” photo is damaging to the self-image of both you and them
- The dangers of complimenting weight loss
- How being in your “best shape” isn’t the same as being your best self
- How to begin the work of disconnecting your worth from your physique.

Creating a consistent movement practice, for some, is a huge behavioural change. And behavioural change is not easy. If you’ve ever tried to quit a habit or create a new one in the past, then you’ll understand what I’m talking about. It takes a lot of practice, a lot of focus and a lot of mental strength.
Willpower is the tool we often rely upon when trying to make a habit change, and is defined as the ability to resist short-term gratification in pursuit of long-term goals or objectives.
In the fitness industry willpower can look like resisting the desire to curl up on the couch and watch netflix to go to the gym. Or sacrificing our sunday morning sleep in time to get up and go for a run. Or missing out on date night to have a date with our personal trainer… all with the intention that the long term gains will be worth the short term sacrifices.
In my experience as a trainer, I’ve seen countless clients try employing willpower in hopes that they’ll start to feel more motivated and eventually create a consistent exercise habit that they enjoy. But the willpower always seems to run out before the habit is formed.
So is it an issue of not enough mental strength or is there something else going on? The research would indicate there’s definitely more to it. Tune into learn how mental strength is not the key to behavioral change when it comes to movement and how relying on willpower is affecting your motivation and what you can focus on instead.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How people find themselves on the start-stop cycle with movement
- Why willpower runs out and what happens to our motivation when it does
- How toxic fitness culture makes us believe that we need willpower in the first place
- How to identify what you really want and how to set yourself up for success without relying on mental strength

Excerpt:
All or Nothing thinking abounds in the fitness industry. Effective but erroneous marketing leads us to believe that we must workout hard for an hour 5 days a week or there’s no point; that we must sweat and be sore or we did it wrong; that we must lift the weights, do the cardio, and we must do it fast, heavy and with intensity…. Otherwise we’ll never get healthy.
I’ve met countless women who feel so stuck because they believe they have to do it all and do it perfectly, and when they can’t achieve or sustain the ideal, then anything less seems like failure and they give up.
It’s not a very motivating feeling.
Our guest today is a participant in my Right Body for Me program, who has been able to transform her all or nothing thinking into creating a game she could win. She’s discovered joyful movement and feels motivated to chase health on her terms.
Listen in to hear how she made this transition and got un-stuck.

What you’ll learn by listening:
- Why we struggle with all or nothing thinking in terms of movement
- How all or nothing keeps us stuck, and how that affects our sense of self
- The mindset shift that is needed to move out of all or nothing
- How creating a game you can win sets you up to chase health on your terms.

Excerpt:
What do you do if you understand the concept of body neutrality and are at peace with your larger body, but still feel like you need to lose weight for your health? This is a common question amongst the people I work with.
Many women will say, they “felt better” when they were smaller. So even though they want to embrace intuitive eating and a more relaxed approach to fitness, they still feel they must restrict food and work hard in order to achieve or maintain their “healthiest” weight.
Tune into this episode as we unpack the real reason you felt better in a smaller body. We’ll explore why “moderation” seems so elusive and why you feel out of control whenever you deviate from your plan.
Creating that feeling of stamina and vitality you had in a smaller body IS possible in whatever body you have today. Listen to explore the mindset shifts required to feel your best in your now body and how to discover what YOUR healthiest weight is.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- Why you felt better in a smaller body
- Why we give up on our “healthy lifestyle” even though we’re feeling better
- The reason you go off the rails when you loosen the restriction just a little bit
- The mindset trap that keeps you stuck in all or nothing behaviour; why moderation seems out of reach
- How you can feel just as good in the body you have today
- How to determine what the healthiest weight is for you.

Our guest today, Stephanie Dodier is a non-diet, intuitive eating expert who helps women to go “beyond the food” to get to their root of their struggles with body image.
On this episode, Stephanie and I had an in depth conversation about what she calls the “Good Girl Syndrome” - specifically how we are socialized as women to think, look and act a certain way.

You’ll learn the roots of this system of injustice and gain insight into how the good girl syndrome shows up in your life.
Dismantling our beliefs about who we are as women is key to discovering food and body freedom, and when we do this mindset work, it opens doors in every area of our life, which is why Stephanie’s work is called “going beyond the food”.
This is a really empowering episode, and will help you see that your struggles aren’t your fault. Listen in to learn how you’ve been set up to struggle and how you can break free once and for all.
What you’ll learn by listening:

Excerpt:
Intuitive Eating, the un-dieted way of making peace with food, and your body is all about trusting your body to seek health by honouring your individual hunger, fullness and satisfaction.
For those who live with a health condition, food intolerance or nutritional disease, however, intuitive eating can seem like an impossible luxury - only available to those who are able to “eat whatever they want”. At the same time living with a health condition is often accompanied by strict dietary guidelines that can leave the person feeling deprived, restricted and powerless.
Our guest today understands these feelings as she has lived with Type 1 Diabetes since the age of 9. Her life of restriction and quest to be healthy kept her on the diet cycle for years, struggling with body image and a disordered relationship with food and exercise.
Now as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Lindsay has discovered how intuitive eating is accessible to all and can help those with health conditions develop autonomy while respecting their body and health. Her all foods fit approach has allowed her and her clients to move beyond dieting into a peaceful and trusting relationship with their bodies.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- the dangers of dieting/health extremes especially for those of us living with health conditions
- How those with health conditions find themselves feeling trapped in the dieting/ “healthy lifestyle” cycle
- Why we need to look at health beyond the physical to incorporate our mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
- What is an all foods fit approach, how adopting it can help you cultivate autonomy and body respect
- How intuitive eating is applicable to all
About our Guest:
Lindsay Sarson is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, professionally trained Intuitive Eating and Body Image Coach, and host of the Intuitive Diabetic Podcast. Lindsay is focused on helping those living with diabetes improve their relationship with food and their body so that they can ditch the food guilt and body shame, and create a more sustainable way of living well with diabetes.
Lindsay is passionate about changing the landscape of dieting and diabetes because of her personal struggles with food and body while living with diabetes since childhood. She wants to be a source of education and inspiration empowering those living with diabetes to break free of diet culture so that they can create a more joyous relationship with food and their body. Lindsay believes that living well with diabetes doesn’t need to mean a life of dieting and restriction.

Excerpt:
If you’ve been tuning in for a while, you’ll know that I’m a mom of 4 amazing humans and though I work really hard in my business, I consider parenting to be my most important job and it’s certainly the job that comes with the greatest challenges, joys, struggles, and rewards. I love being a mom and learning and growing alongside my kids. Every day they inspire me and make me proud and they make me want to be a better person.
Now that said, motherhood is no joke! Being a woman is no joke! I don’t know about you, but I’ve certainly felt pressure over my mothering career to “get it right”. It seems like there’s always so much to do, and so much pressure to do it well, and not near enough time or resources. Our guest today has had the same observations.
In this episode, I’m joined by Unyime Oguta who is on a mission to help mums go from surviving to thriving through the chaos of motherhood.
Unyime has a really refreshing outlook on motherhood that will get you thinking about how you can go from surviving to thriving even amongst the chaos.
Whether you’re a mum or a mum at heart, this episode is for you.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How women can simplify nutrition and let go of society’s expectations when it comes to their motherhood.
-
- Why it’s important for mums to prioritize themselves when it comes to food and their bodies?
-
- How mums can confidently build a trust-based feeding relationship with their children, so that they grow up to be confident and competent eaters.
- That it’s normal for mums to struggle with body image and why it’s so important for mums to do the work to heal their body image and how they can foster a healthy body image in their children.

Excerpt
Working alongside women to help them discover joyful movement is my passion. But for some women, it can be really hard to even identify what WOULD be joyful for them. Depending on our perspective or history with exercise/sport - there aren’t always joyful memories associated with movement.
However, when we were children, joy was our natural state. We did the things we loved without abandon,judgment and without worry about whether it was good or bad or what people would think. As we grow, we start to internalize societal expectations or the things that are happening around us. We start to conform to who we think we are supposed to be and little by little we lose touch with who we are.
In this episode, my guest Ruth Montgomery shares some practical tips about how we can start to reconnect with that part of ourselves - that pure part of us that just is and chases joy naturally.
We also talked about energy and how it is felt as moods or physical sensations in the body and how we can adjust our mood through movement and other self-care practices that raise our vibration. Ruth shared some insight about the importance of processing our feelings as unprocessed emotions can get stuck in our body.

Excerpt:
In my work as a personal trainer and nutritionist, the main goal I hear from my clients is to lose weight. When questioned about their desire to lose weight, the most common answer is “to be healthy”.
We all want to be the healthiest we possibly can be, we understand that weight loss is the answer. Having a high BMI has been linked with diseases such as heart attack, stroke, diabetes, cancer and more. However, it is a myth that having a high BMI causes these things.
In this episode, I am joined by Maggie Landes, MD who explains how BMI itself, is not the best indicator of health. In fact, dieting actually increase our risk and leads to worse health outcomes than weight alone.
Maggie explains her “un-dieted” approach to eating and how chasing health at EVERY size is possible. She also discusses body image and weight stigma with practical strategies to help you self-advocate.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- Why BMI is not the best indicator of your health, and what actually is
- How dieting, or attempts to control your weight, actually leads to negative health outcomes and how giving up dieting can be the healthiest choice you make
- What the “Un-dieted” approach to eating means and the steps you can take to have a more peaceful relationship to food
- Strategies to use if you have been stigmatized due to weight
- The difference between “correlation” and “causation

Food is our lifeblood and eating is one of life’s greatest joys and yet it can seem so complicated.
Everyone has an opinion on what is “good and bad”; the “healthiest” way to eat; what is the right amount to eat and even who is allowed to eat certain foods without guilt and shame. Our culture is obsessed with food rules and as such leaves us feeling pressured, confused, guilty and ashamed if we don’t or can’t conform to them.
On this week’s episode, I am joined by Alissa Rumsey RD and author of “Unapologetic Eating”. During our conversation, Alissa discusses the political and cultural roots of our fat-phobic society obsessed with food rules and thinness.
We discuss how our relationship to food is a metaphor of our relationship with ourselves, and that once we make peace with food our lives are transformed t as a result
Alissa explains how letting go of the rules and diets, in favour of an “unapologetic”, intuitive eating style allows us to step into our individual power and focus on what we were put on this earth to do.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How food can be a powerful entry point into exploring more about ourselves, our beliefs, our values, and what we truly want out of life.
- How to tell if you’re eating style is indeed a diet.
- What intuitive eating is and how is it different than other approaches to health and nutrition
- What exactly is meant by “unapologetic eating”
- Discover the oppressive nature of dieting and how being unapologetic with our eating is actually a political move
- Why it’s important to have a system of support as you heal your relationship to food and self

Excerpt:
Why is it so hard to love ourselves?
Well, it could be because we are listening to two very conflicting messages about how to reach a place of self acceptance.
On one hand we have diet culture telling us that the only way to be healthy, happy, confident is to be thin. And only when we achieve this, are we worthy of our own love and acceptance.
But on the other hand, is the body positivity movement telling us that we should love and accept our cellulite, muffin top and acne.
The leap from one belief system to the other is far too great for those of us who have spent our life believing that we need to shrink and control our body. To instantly give this up and flick the switch into loving the parts we have hated on for so many years is just not possible.
But the good news is there is a middle ground. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. There’s a neutral space between hating your body and loving it. Body neutrality focuses on appreciating your body for what it enables you to do, rather than focusing on how it looks. It means seeing your body as a vessel through which you get to experience life, rather than an object that needs to look pretty.
When we embrace body neutrality, we can engage in respectful, loving actions towards ourself even if we don’t fully love or accept our body as it is.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How diet culture tries to convince you that thinness is the answer to finally accepting your body, and why achieving thinness does not result in body love
- Why you struggle to love your body even if you’ve realized that dieting doesn’t work.
- What is body neutrality and how to embrace it.
- How to enter into a respectful relationship with your body regardless of whether you accept it as is.
- The importance of defining your worth outside of your appearance.

Excerpt:
Over 90% of women are unhappy with their body’s appearance, but we make the mistake in thinking that losing weight or changing our body’s shape is the key to happiness and self-acceptance.

Most people begin the New Year with fresh goals - a desire to grow, improve and become a better version of themselves.
Usually around this time though, the motivation and resolve you had January first starts to fizzle. We are either relying heavily on willpower at this point, or are feeling like a failure because the willpower has run out.
80% of New Years Goals are abandoned by February 1st, and 90% sometime after that.
Why is this?? It’s not because you failed. It’s not because you weren’t strong enough or did something wrong.
It’s because the way that we have been taught to set goals is flawed. We’ve been taught to chase outcomes and that when we achieve the outcome we’ll feel better - but that rarely happens.
On this episode, I’ll teach you the mistakes we make with goal setting the traditional way, and the mindset shift that is required to set goals that actually inspire you into action that WILL result in that feeling of success and pride that you are after.
Tune in to rekindle your spark and breath new life into your goals for this year.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- Why traditional SMART goals result in a 80-90% failure rate
- How it is the system of goal setting itself that is flawed, not your resolve.
- The mindset shift you can make today to make goal setting work for you
- How chasing a feeling, not an outcome will inspire you into action and get you instant results

Excerpt:
“Pushing yourself” has long been seen as the objective behind exercise. But usually that comes from a place of wanting to fix ourselves - to burn more calories, to compete, to prove ourselves or in hopes that we’ll lose weight. Having a negative mindset about exercise and pushing through is a sure fire way to kill all joy for movement.
However, when we participate in movement as a form of self care, and have a healthy, growth based mindset about movement, it can become a fun way to connect with your body to play and have fun.
Once you discover movement that lights you up and makes you feel amazing, then you can start to challenge yourself on your terms, which is the 10th and final principle of joyful movement. You can experiment with different things to see what you’re capable of but all from a place of body respect and curiosity and growth rather than from a place of needing to prove or change ourselves.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How to assess your mindset about movement - are you trying to fix yourself or to grow?
- Four different ways that you can challenge yourself on your terms
- What it feels like to challenge yourself in a body respecting way
- Why you NEVER have to do something you hate, even if your trainer tells you to

Excerpt:
Have you ever looked at a runner and wondered why on earth they would want to do that? Any runner will tell you that once you’ve experienced the runner’s high, you’re hooked for life.
The runner’s high is a chemical reaction that results in a feeling of euphoria, increased focus and mental clarity, decreased anxiety and ability to feel pain. It’s experienced after a more intense burst of activity which causes endorphins to be released that activate pleasure centers in our brain and cause a very similar response to taking opioid drugs or cannabis (in an entirely natural and safe way) - and it’s not just for runners.
This feeling can occur as a result of any type of activity and in this episode I’ll show you how to cultivate that feeling of extreme pleasure and bubbling over JOY of movement.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- Why some people seem to love exercise while others find it torturous
- What the people who love exercise know that others don’t
- How to switch your mindset so that you can start feeling pleasure through movement.

Feeling a sense of belonging is known to be one of the top three factors that contribute to motivation.
Having a group of supportive, like minded people to move with has a huge positive effect on motivation, and consistency. However, there’s no one size fits all approach to group fitness - each person’s needs and preferences for community are different.
There are numerous benefits to being part of a community beyond the obvious accountability. In this episode, we discuss the different ways that social support helps people progress toward their goals, and how you can “find your people” that will be part of your journey to joyful movement.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How a community of like minded people can help motivate you to be consistent with your movement practice.
- The difference between accountability and belonging
- The 5 ways that social support can help you achieve your fitness goals
- 3 steps to help you seek out a community that meets your needs no matter where you are on your journey with joyful movement.

Excerpt:
On this week’s episode, we’re talking about the 6th principle of joyful movement which is to stop relying on external validation. By that I mean fitness trackers, apps and even the scale to tell you that you are doing it “right” in terms of exercise.
About 20% of people in north america wear a fitness tracker, but it’s interesting to note that about ⅓ of people who own one will stop wearing it within 6 months and almost half will stop within a year. Which leads me to question - why?
It seems that a lot of women struggle in their relationship with a wearable tracker. In one study that looked at 200 women with a Fitbit tracker, 79% felt pressured to reach their daily targets, while 59% reported that they felt their daily routines to be controlled by Fitbit.
Feeling pressure to perform, keep up or compete- these lead to negative feelings about movement - like anxiety, or not being good enough. Whenever we feel negativity towards movement, it’s really hard to feel motivated.
Listen to discover how your fitness tracker could be killing your motivation or causing you to have an unhealthy relationship with exercise, and how practicing attunement can help you re-discover joyful movement.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- How apps, trackers and the scale are interfering with your joy for movement
- The benefits and limitations of using external tracking devices.
- How to tell if you’ve got a healthy relationship with your fitness tracker
- How to identify your body’s own cues through the process of attunement so that you don’t have to rely on external validation.

For the majority of the people in this world, getting motivated to exercise or even beginning to exercise is difficult. But then there are a few of us who actually do the opposite of this… We exercise too much - we go too hard, too often.
While moving your body and being physically active every day (or most days) is great, like everything else in life, too much of a good thing is actually a bad thing.
It can be really hard to know where that line is sometimes - between good movement, wanting to challenge ourselves and progress - and going too far.
Respecting your limitations means meeting yourself where you are at progressing toward your goal in a safe, body respecting way. It means knowing what you are capable of, what injuries or mobility constraints you have, and having a clear vision of where you want to go with your fitness and why, and then taking appropriate action to get there.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- The principles of progressive overload and rest/recovery and how they apply to making gains while avoiding overtraining or injury
- How to know that you’re exercising in a safe ways
- The warning signs of overtraining
- The concept of body respect and how to meet yourself where you’re at in your movement practice.

Excerpt:The gym police are the loud, obnoxious voices in our head that scream at you all the fitness rules of how you “should” be exercising if you want to do it right. They are awesome at highlighting everything that you’re doing wrong, and make you feel terrible about yourself which keeps you from doing anything.
Gym police are just thoughts. Negative thoughts about our inadequacies and how we don’t measure up. The thing is most of the negative thoughts shouted by the gym police actually aren’t true - The comparisons you're making to others and the rules you’re buying into about how exercise needs to look - often they’re not even accurate or true. The result of listening to the gym police is more shame and continuing to stay stuck.
In this episode we learn how to recognize the gym police and their hidden agenda to take you down. We’ll learn strategies to stand up to them so you can get out from under their thumb and into freedom.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- Discover that most of the fitness “rules” are just arbitrary and there’s no one size fits all approach to fitness.
- Learn how to challenge the rules to create a game you can win.
- Understand how comparison is keeping you stuck feeling inadequate and shrinking away from your own greatness.
- Learn how your thoughts are creating the results, or lack thereof, that you’re experiencing.
- Begin the process of changing your thoughts so that you can create the relationship with exercise that you desire.

Tune in as we continue on with our series on the 10 principles of joyful movement. This week we discuss principle 3 - Just say no to punishment.
We’ve been told for a long time-”no pain, no gain”. The myth is that the only way to get fit is to push ourselves to the brink 5-6 days a week. We’re told we need to be stronger than our excuses.
But I don’t think it’s working.
No Pain No Gain is the most overused “motivational” saying, that is really anything but.
Buying into this mentality gets us nowhere but injured and exhausted, so we inevitably give up.
In this episode, I’ll give you tools you can use to know the difference between challenging yourself and pain and how to achieve steady progress towards your goals without dreading exercise.
What you’ll learn by listening:
- The difference between “pushing” and pain
- How to tell if what you’re feeling is a “good hurt” or if you’ve crossed the line into pain.
- Tools you can use to change your mindset about movement so that it is fun, challenging, rewarding and SAFE!

Excerpt:
Traditional exercise and weight loss programs target only our physical body - using restriction and punishment to try to shrink the body in order to fit into the societal ideal. We are actually made up of four bodies - the physical body, the mental body, the spiritual body and the emotional body. Punitive exercise not only does not honour the other three bodies, it actually violates them, causing us further distress and dissatisfaction with ourselves.
You can’t create a body you love through punishment.
Most women (91%) have spent their life hating and trying to change their physical body. The shame we feel about our physical body causes us to disconnect from it and to exercise only as a way to shrink our body.
In this week’s episode we explore all the parts of us that make us whole, and how honouring each body through joyful movement is key to having a good relationship with exercise and a step towards body acceptance
What you’ll learn by listening:
Learn about the 4 bodies that make us whole. Identify ways that you have disconnected from your body because of diet culture. Explore ways to re-connect to the physical, emotional, spiritual and mental bodies through respectful movement that honours the whole self. Understand how the concept of body neutrality can bridge the gap from body hatred and body love.

Excerpt: Welcome to Episode 3 of the Joyful Movement Show. Today begins our series exploring the 10 principles of joyful movement. Principle #1 is all about rejecting the diet mentality. Even though most women don’t identify as dieters, there is still a widespread belief that thin is better, healthier and the end goal of most people starting out on a fitness program. The vast majority of women are unhappy with their body and view exercise as a way to change their shape. Listen in while I explain how sneaky diet culture actually sets you up to fail and have a negative relationship with exercise. While you might not be ready to give up the desire to lose weight just yet, this episode will teach you how to detach exercise from that desire so that you can enjoy the journey and have fun with exercise.
What you’ll learn by listening: What diet culture is and how its influence in the fitness industry keeps us stuck on the start-stop cycle, torturing ourselves or avoiding exercise all together.

**Hello friends and welcome to the very first episode of the Joyful movement show!!
I’m thrilled to have finally jumped into the podcasting world - it’s been a dream of mine for a long time and while I can’t say I’m a 100% confident, I’m a believer in taking imperfect action because let’s face it - we’re never really ready to start something new, are we? But I know this - that there’s a whole lot of women out there who are struggling with willpower, motivation, body image, avoiding exercise or feeling like they need to kill themselves at the gym in an effort to get that ideal body, and I can’t wait one more day to share my message of joyful, body respecting movement to help you learn to embrace and care for the body you have -right now!**
In this week’s episode, I share my personal journey through early exercise trauma and poor body image to discovering my power through fitness to obsession with the “thin ideal” to finally finding my way into joyful movement, intuitive eating and body acceptance.
