In this episode, I sit down with Ally Melnick (@allymelnick), a strength and conditioning coach from Baltimore, MD, to talk about her journey through loss, self-acceptance, and the powerful role fitness has played in her healing. She opens up about losing her dad at a young age, what self-love has come to mean for her, and how movement became both an outlet and a way to help others. It’s an honest, heartfelt, and empowering conversation about grief, growth, and finding strength in unexpected places.
