About this episode
Bri shares her five-year journey to heal her relationship with movement, discussing challenges and insights along the way.
In this episode of The Body GrieversⓇ Club, Bri shares her five-year movement journey from having no exercise practice to building an intuitive, consistent, feel-good relationship with movement. She traces how the pandemic disrupted her gym routine, triggered body image distress when back pain arose on a short walk, and revealed deeper body grief tied to internalized ableism rather than weight loss. Bri outlines five needs for healing and answers questions about "enough" movement, limited mobility with others, pushing vs listening to the body, and much more.
