Ep 91 | What If Joy Has Nothing to Do With the Scale? | Fitness, Fulfillment & Body Joy

What if fitness wasn’t about chasing numbers—but about reclaiming joy in your body?

In this episode of Highly Visible & A Little Misunderstood, I’m joined by Brandon Howard, a personal trainer, health coach, and founder of Howard Power Fitness. Together, we explore what it means to feel at home in your body—regardless of weight, appearance, or arbitrary milestones.

Brandon shares how years in the fitness industry taught him that most people don’t just want muscle—they want to feel better, move easier, and live with more freedom. We talk about vanity goals, body image, performance culture, and how self-awareness and grace can transform how we approach movement and strength.

This episode is an invitation—to slow down, listen inward, and return to joy… on your terms.
