We all have insecurities. You are not alone in your struggles. Love Your Bodd is a podcast focused on creating a dialogue around body image, specifically in the arts. In Love Your Bodd, Heather Boddy sits down with artists, activists, and health/fitness professionals to discuss body image, race, and how our insecurities make us who we are. The lack of representation in the arts and media is overwhelming. It's time to hold up a mirror to the industry and talk about how it can affect us. It's also time to hold a mirror up to ourselves and truly love that person we see staring back at us. Do you love your bodd?

    104. Kelsey Lane Davidson: Intentionality is Key

    This week on Love Your Bodd, Heather sits down with Kelsey Lane Davidson - an expert in finding a balance when it comes to fitness. Kelsey is a strength and conditioning coach that helps you get fit in the chaos that is life. She has a background in university athletics, corporate wellness and helping everyday folks getting fitter. Additionally, Kelsey is a wife, dog mom, multi-passionate entrenpeur, podcaster and actress.
    In this episode we talk about health and fitness as it relates to stress, hormones, and the chaos that is live. 
    Kelsey gives us some tangible tips on being more intentional when it comes to our relationship with fitness but also that there’s an ebb and flow. 
    Kelsey is also the first guest to appear on the Love Your Bodd PATREON! In her exclusive interview we do some myth busting about being in the fitness industry as well as chat about what Kelsey would change if she could (or is actively trying to change!) Make sure to join us on Patreon to hear that!

    99. Anthea Spiteri: Healing Harmful Body Beliefs

    Where do harmful beliefs about our bodies come from? How can we work through those beliefs so that we aren't constanty berating our bodies? We answer these questions and more in my interview with Anthea Spiteri, a coach who helps women feel confident in themselves and their body from the inside out.
    Your body is not the problem! Anthea and I discuss where "blaming your body" might stem from and she gives you tangible tools to work through those harmful thoughts.
