Welcome to Unfuck Your Brain. The only podcast that teaches you how to use psychology, feminism

and coaching to rewire your brain and get what you want in life. And now here's your

host, Harvard Law School grad, feminist rock star, and master coach, Carla Lohanthile.

Hello, my chickens. I am really looking forward to this conversation we're about to have today,

because I think it's something that probably some of you have thought about a lot. And

there probably some of you are going to be like, what are you talking about when you

hear this today? Because we are going to be talking about sort of an aspect of society

and health and especially wellness culture that sort of gets universally like lionized and

praised and why that's maybe not such a good idea or such a good thing. So that was like

weirdly evasive given that the title of this episode says what it's about. But we're

going to be talking about exercise. I'm here with three of my incredible students from

the advanced certification feminist coaching who are amazing coaches, Deb, Sarah and Jill,

and they're going to tell you all about who they are and what they do because they'll do

a better job of it than I will. So let's just do that first. And then we will start to

dive into this topic. Deb, you want to start us off? Sure. Hi, I'm Deb Melkin and I am

a feminist life coach and I coach on chronic pain and conditions and also general life

stuff. And I kind of came through this work as a body positive fat activist body worker,

movement specialist and general rebellious human who doesn't like other people to tell me

what is true about my body. So coaching on chronic pain is so interesting because it's so much

about the intersection between like our physical reality and our beliefs about them. And so this

work is so deeply rooted in this mythology around exercise. So I'm excited to have this conversation.

Thanks. Thanks, Jill. When about you? My name is Jill Angie and I am a fat feminist runner.
