This is one of my most vulnerable episodes to date.

Curvy, Cut, Cool (featuring Anowa Adjah) Jan 12, 2021

Show notes

Normally this time of year there’s a lot of talk about fitness, exercise, and dieting and a lot of this talk can get unhealthy pretty fast by encouraging us to have unhealthy relationships with food and our bodies. Someone who has been a good model for me on how to engage fitness while loving the body I’m in is nationally recognized 200-pound curvy fitness professional and pioneer and founder of the Curvy and Cut app, Anowa Adjah. In this HER archives episode Anowa shares how to make your health and wellness a priority and how to access your power and gratitude.
