Ep 5: Power And Empowerment For Females In Fitness

A solo session here for Oralith who speaks passionately about power and empowerment and the differences between them in our fitness journeys. This episode focuses on how we are sold ideas of strength and beauty but how ultimately real power is hidden within us . Orlaith talks about how ‘taking control’ of yourself by following a plan can ultimately take your own power away. The power to eat without guilt , train without the necessity and actually control your own cravings and hunger. She talks about ‘what is fitness doing to your life and for your life’ . Finally she chats about what the secondary gain is , you look better but what’s the trade off ? Anxiety around food , guilt , self critique , avoiding social situations.
