Navigating Identity Shifts: Closing Pop Fit Studio pt 2 and My Mental Health - EP 95
What happens when your identity is so intertwined with your career that losing it feels like losing yourself? Join me, Christine DeFilippis, as I recount the emotional rollercoaster I experienced after closing Pop Fit Studio. My journey to recovery was anything but smooth. This episode sheds light on the crucial role mental health plays in our lives and the similarities it shares with the intimidation factor many feel in fitness environments. We discuss the need for inclusive, welcoming fitness spaces, and how using compassionate language can make fitness accessible to everyone.
