Joyful Movement with Courtney Gioia

This week, Karin welcomes Courtney Gioia, mindset and body image coach, to the show for, "Joyful Movement."

Tune in to learn the meaning of Loyobo, taking off the pressure of fitness, the ways poor body image messages are relayed to children, exercise as “punishment,” the notion that being smaller makes one desirable, defining body positivity, how movement is not “one size fits all,” and more.

Inspired by her own health journey and struggles around body image, Courtney Gioia became an ACE Certified Fitness Professional where she learned how broken views are towards women's bodies and how the formula the fitness industry presents as "the answer" keeps us stuck in a cycle of shame, guilt and self-blame.

Making it her mission to help others learn that they are more than a body and have the power to define health for themselves, she created Loyobo, a virtual community dedicated to helping women ditch diet culture, find joy in movement, and learn to love their body. She recently launched Love Your Body, a 12-week coaching program to help others create a vision of health and wellness that works in real life, right now. Join the waitlist here
