Fitness Freedom
Welcome to the Fitness Freedom Podcast, where we’re all about finding more joy, peace, & freedom with food, exercise, & your body.
I’m Michelle Rosko —a holistic health & fitness coach, certified nutrition coach, & personal trainer.
I'm also someone who struggled for years with an eating disorder, & have found a joyful way through to finally feeling good in my body, & with food & exercise.
Since 2020, I’ve had the privilege of helping amazing people around the world transform their health from the inside out too, & I’m here to share what I’ve learned with you.
In this podcast, you’ll get a mix of personal connection, spiritual insights, scientific facts, out-of-the-box perspectives, & practical tips, so you can feel better in your body, discover what truly works for your health, & enjoy your life even more.
Dive in! You’re in the exact right place. I'm so glad you're here :)
