Today’s episode is a very special milestone, because…we’ve hit 150 episodes!!As I reflect on my (almost) 3 year podcasting journey, I can’t help but feel immense gratitude for this space, and this community. Podcasting has allowed me to be my unfiltered, authentic, and very (im)perfect self. I get to be a human, and show up and do what I love every single day. This is truly my FAVORITE way to connect with you!For this 150th episode, I’m sharing an EXCITING announcement (trust me - you don’t want to miss it)! I also want to dive into a topic that I’m passionate about, and NEEDS to be addressed.I don’t know about you, but I am pretty tired of all of the stereotypes surrounding women in fitness (i.e. the very common women ‘shouldn’t’ be lifting weights, because it will make them ‘bulky’). Men (and even other women) tend to have strong opinions about what women ‘should’ and ‘shouldn’t’ be doing when it comes to their health & fitness, and frankly, I’m OVER IT! While there’s nothing wrong with wanting to grow your glutes or build your biceps, fitness is SO much more than aesthetics. The strength training benefits for women are endless!! When you commit to focusing on YOUR fitness goals and surround yourself with a community of other women, you will be unstoppable. It’s time for us to be strong, be confident, take up more space, and be empowered as women. We are badass, and we are capable of SO much! Thank you again for being here - what a wild ride, and a GIFT it has been. I look forward to helping you unf*ck your fitness for a very long time!!In this episode, we cover:Celebrating my podcasting journey + an EXCITING announcementThe all-too recurrent myth that is ‘lifting will make you bulky’Common stereotypes affecting women & their fitnessThe endless strength training benefits for womenThe unnecessary hate women receive when they share their fitness journeyBuilding confidence in your workouts at the gym, at home, etc.Overcoming pressure + judgement from others when you’re on your fitness journey Links/Resources:Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!
