Joyful Movement with Courtney Gioia

 

Episode 139 - Joyful Movement with Courtney Gioia

This week, Karin welcomes Courtney Gioia, mindset and body image coach, to the show for, "Joyful Movement."

Tune in to learn the meaning of Loyobo, taking off the pressure of fitness, the ways poor body image messages are relayed to children, exercise as “punishment,” the notion that being smaller makes one desirable, defining body positivity, how movement is not “one size fits all,” and more.

Courtney Gioia is the CEO and founder of Loyobo FIT, a virtual community dedicated to helping women to ditch diet culture, find joy in movement, and to finally figure out how to love their body.

Courtney's own journey with health and struggles around body image inspired her to become an ACE Certified Fitness Professional where she learned the hard way how broken our views are towards women's bodies and how the formula the fitness industry presents as "the answer" keeps us stuck in a cycle of shame, guilt, and self-blame.

Her mission is to prove that there is another way, to help women step out of the struggle and into self-love! She teaches women how to ditch diet culture, how to heal their relationship with food and movement, and how to take the stress out of self-care. She wants you to see that you are MORE than a body and have the power to define health for yourself.

Courtney recently launched Love Your Body, a 12 week coaching program to help others break free from diet culture, love their body at any size, create a vision of health and wellness that works in real life - right now. Join the waitlist here.
