Episode 173: Trust with Special Guest Wendy Welsher

Trust is the knowing that our bodies are living intelligences, giving us immediate feedback about what does and doesn’t work for us. When we stop viewing our bodies as something we need to control and manipulate, we can begin seeing them as very wise teachers. When we start to trust our bodies, we can listen and understand what they need.About Wendy WelsherWendy is a fat-positive personal trainer who specializes in functional strength and conditioning. She teaches the foundations of functional movement, weightlifting, and power training, including safe practices and recovery methods, which my clients use in their everyday lives to improve their activities of daily living greatly. She lives with ADHD, depressive disorder, and anxiety while in recovery from an eating disorder. She has experienced fatphobia and weight bias first-hand and understands how traumatic this is in a movement space.  She can empathize with how it can affect one’s self-esteem, confidence, and body trust. This is why Wendy created My Joyous Adaptive Momentous Movement and Joyful Inclusive Movement. She is creating movement spaces that are truly authentic, accessible, inclusive, safe, and effective. It’s important to me to connect with her community through movement to show them how much fun it can be moving their body!Website: https://www.myjamm.rocks/ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
