The Weekly Riff with Louise Green
The Weekly Riff cuts through fitness culture’s noise with real talk from Louise Green — award-winning coach, author, and size-inclusive fitness trailblazer redefining what strength looks like. In a world where most fitness spaces still exclude, this podcast offers something rare: a space that honours all bodies and holds the belief that your body is fully capable of strength, power, and performance — through every season of life, including midlife and menopause.
Each 20-minute episode dives into strength training, body image, mindset, and the deeper layers of showing up for yourself — without the toxic pressure to shrink, conform, or apologize. Louise blends expert insight, lived experience, and raw honesty to explore how we can all train for strength and self-respect, not validation.
Expect conversations that challenge stereotypes, dismantle diet culture, and invite you to rise — as you are, right now.
🎧 Tune in weekly for unfiltered, empowering riffs on what it really means to be strong — in body, mind, and culture.
