Description
in this episode, we’re talking about the reality of being a “locked-in” girl...from staying consistent with your fitness goals and prioritizing your health, to navigating dating, gym crushes, and finding someone who actually respects your lifestyle.
why do some people love the results of a disciplined woman but not the habits that get her there? and why should we ever feel guilty for having goals, boundaries, or priorities outside of dating?
we’re also getting into the ever-changing beauty standards around women’s bodies, the pressure to look a certain way, and why getting stronger should never be something we apologize for.
🎧 welcome to another conversation about fitness, confidence, dating, and becoming your best self without forgetting to actually live.
