Summary
After years and years of exercise being motivated by body hate, or desire to look a certain way, I felt incredibly lost with movement, fitness, exercise the whole shebang. Healing from a difficult pregnancy, a pandemic, changing body and diet culture - where does fitness even fit in anymore? If I’m exercising daily, does that mean I’m back in diet culture? Today we unpack movement and fitness and doing it for other reasons with instructor and friend Lauren Leavell. We dive into our upbringings with exercise, what Lauren’s intentional programs are doing subconsciously for many, abelism in “as long as you’re healthy” mentalities and so much more!

| 0:46.2 | If you know, you know, because I didn't shut up about it for two years, and then I finally went, and it was amazing and so much fun. |
| 0:55.3 | I'm actually making an entire blog on worth it or not worth it because the one thing about |
| 1:00.7 | Disney, especially going as eight people. |
| 1:02.7 | So who all came with us was originally it was me, Shane, and my three kids. |
| 1:07.0 | Then we had Lemmy because we booked the trip before I was even pregnant or knew I was going to be |

| 1:24.9 | take that away from them and make it all about little |
| 1:27.7 | kid stuff. So we decided to make this a collective trip, which meant it added up. And it also |
| 1:33.3 | meant that once it added up, we were like, let's just do this dang thing. If we're doing Disney, |
