Ep13 - Becoming a Coach w/ Ehlers-Danlos: Being the Change We Needed | w/ guest SHEENA CUCCIA
What does it take to become a coach when you have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome? In this episode, I chat with a fellow strength coach (and Pilates instructor) Sheena Cuccia who also has EDS.
We cover:
- How we navigate the fitness industry with EDS
- The hurdles we encounter & how we try to overcome them
- Tips for anyone with EDS who wants to become a coach
- Advice for our younger selves & new coaches
- How we are building a stronger & more inclusive community for those with EDS & hypermobility
Whether you’re a fitness professional or just want to hear from another EDS'er on how to balance life & career with this condition, this episode is for you. Listen in for an honest conversation on building resilience and making lasting change in a space that needs it.
