Body Neutrality & Reclaiming Fitness with Bethany C. Meyers
Listen above, on Apple Podcasts or Spotify
In this episode I talk with Bethany C. Meyers about their journey from fitness instructor struggling with their body image and disordered eating to CEO and founder of the be.come project, a modern fitness app focused on inclusivity and joyful movement.
We got into so many compelling topics, including:
What body neutrality is and how it can help you get peace with your body
How terrifying it can be to throw out your scale
Ways to stop looking at exercise as punishment and instead use it as a way to heal and a source of pleasure
How and why the wellness industry needs to consider the experience of BIPOC and other underrepresented communities
The relationship between gender identity, body dysmorphia and body image
The fact that we’re all on a journey and even the “experts” are still growing and learning and don’t have it all figured out
Bethany shared their story with so much generosity, candor and vulnerability. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
