Summary

There’s a reason why people say all abuse is physical abuse. Emotional abuse is a double whammy, destroying your mind and your body. Long after the abuse stops, you’re still dealing with the fallout. It can feel like your body has failed you. Like you’re permanently broken. It can feel hopeless and frustrating. So how do you regain your health and fitness in the aftermath of abuse? Kylar has a unique approach, one of endless compassion, wisdom, and empathy. Because he’s been there too. And it works. Now he’s healthy and strong, from the inside out and helping others just like you. Listen to: - The amazing story behind Kylar’s 22 years of abuse and 19-year fitness journey - Why high-intensity workouts are NOT a good idea for survivors (what a relief) - How our perspective on physical health aligns with patriarchy and shame-based fitness culture - The biggest contributor to the aging process (HINT: it’s not time) - How a simple and intuitive approach is the best, with examples Listen or download the transcript at flyingfreenow.com/151 FREE: I'll send you the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?

emotional and spiritual abuse.

0:21.6

Welcome to episode 151 of the Flying Free Podcast. Today I have a treat. His name is

0:29.6

Kyler. He is a massage therapist, a personal trainer, a life coach, and the unique thing about

0:36.4

Kyler is that he grew up in a family, so grew up as a kid experiencing what a lot of us experienced from the perspective of being the wife.

0:46.7

And I, you know, Kyler, why don't you tell us, I was, I don't want to, I could read your bio, but let's just have you tell us a little bit about how you grew up and what, and a little bit about your journey about coming out and why you became a personal trainer and a massage therapist and a life coach.

1:03.4

We just want to hear it from you.

1:04.9

Yeah, yeah.

2:21.1

version of that teaching where God only works through authority.

2:25.0

He really latched on to that. I think it gave him a second chance at significance,

2:32.0

being the spiritual head of a home, being the leader.

2:36.0

So things kind of got more and more intense as life went on.

2:42.0
