Finding Our Hunger


UNpodcast 147: UNaccidental (Courtney Marshall) @feministfitness - Finding Our Hunger

April 25, 2016

“It’s never been true, not anywhere at any time, that the value of a soul, or a human spirit, is dependent on a number on a scale.  We are unrepeatable beings of light and space and water who need these physical vehicles to get around.  When we start defining ourselves by that which can be measured or weighed, something deep within us rebels. 
We don’t want to EAT hot fudge sundaes as much as we want our lives to BE hot fudge sundaes.  We want to come home to ourselves.” – Geneen Roth
This week’s guest is Courtney Marshall, PhD, creator of Black Feminist Fitness and an AFAA certified group exercise instructor and personal trainer specializing in body-positive plus size fitness and athletics.
In this episode we discuss:

* Is there such a thing as feminist fitness?
* What is it like to do fitness in an underrepresented body?
* Why is @feministfitness going broke to make fitness more accessible?
* Why your life is somebody else’s dream

And more!
