Female Fitness Goals & Body Image with Coach Laura

Have you ever felt societal pressure to look a certain way? Have you ever struggled with your relationship with food? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be less obsessed with the number on the scale or the size tag in your clothes and more obsessed with fueling your body to be fit and healthy? This episode with Vegan Superhero Academy Coach Laura Marks is just for you! In our conversation with Laura, we take an honest look at these issues and more. Laura weaves together client success stories and personal, powerful stories of her own to unveil the truth of what it is actually like to be a woman in the fitness community. She offers practical advice and encouragement to any woman (or man) who is facing issues with eating disorders, body image struggles, or cultural pressure. Laura emphasizes the benefit of shifting your mindset to focusing on becoming stronger, rather than skinnier.  "I had to change my relationship with food.  I had to change my relationship with falling in love with myself and figuring out how I was going to fuel my body to be the best athlete I could be. So weightlifting saved my life. I had something to fight for." - VSA Coach Laura Marks
