Episode 28 - Breaking Free From the Fitness Stories That Hold Us Back
In this episode Louise Green discusses how so many of us are living inside a fitness story that was never ours to begin with. From family labels like “she’s not the athletic one” to the cultural pressure to shrink, hustle, or earn our worthiness through exercise, Louise reveals how these inherited narratives quietly shape our confidence, our choices, and our long term relationship with movement. She breaks down the research on self beliefs and behaviour, explores how identity drives consistency, and shows listeners how to rewrite a fitness story that feels powerful, authentic, and fully aligned with who they are today.
It's time to take back your power and rewrite your story.
