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.
