Under nourished to moderately active with Ali Shapiro

Content note: This episode includes discussions around intentional weight loss and diet culture, and therefore contains some swearing.

This episode is part of a podcast series called The Body Stories. I’m joined by my beloved friend and fellow coach, Ali Shapiro. Over the next year, Ali and I will have an occasional and ongoing conversation about the nuanced relationship with our bodies. These are tender conversations, and at times, I will be in the coaching client seat. Our hope is that listening in will spark your own exploration of your body story.
