#15: Let's Talk About Body Image with Shelby Lawson

BloomFit Training (@bloomfittraining) allows fitness
professionals to become Body Positive Coaches, and leads
workshops for groups on all things body image. I got to sit down
with the founder of BloomFit Training, Shelby Lawson
(@shelbitheyogini), where she got candid about what led her to
start the business and how this interest in starting
conversations around a taboo topic that affects us all has become
a full-blown mission.


In this episode, we also cover:


What body positivity is and isn’t

How body positivity differs from the “fat acceptance”
movement 

The importance of talking about body image in the fitness
space specifically 

How to navigate social situations when people are putting
themselves down

And more! 



This conversation is so powerful, and I know it’s going to hit
home for a lot of you. Please enjoy, and share with a friend who
may benefit from hearing Shelby’s message as well. You can learn
more about BloomFit Training (and workshops, certifications, and
more) at bloomfittraining.com.
