Plenty with Kate Northrup

Today’s episode is one of the most important we’ve ever recorded, and you’re going to hear about the email Kate got from our guest that got it all started (and led to some tears). Patricia Moreno is our guest, and in this episode she peels back the curtain on the illusion that our culture sells us about being thin, and how “fatphobic” we truly are. This conversation created so much awareness for both of us, and it will really change the way we look at ourselves and the world around us. Patricia Moreno has been training, mentoring and educating people all over the world for over 30 years. In an effort to end her own struggles with her weight, eating disorders and body image issues, she created the intenSati Method, which combines her expertise in fitness, dance, martial arts, yoga, nutrition, mediation and spiritual practices. Encouraged by her own transformation and the life-changing stories of her students, she has gone on to create several other workouts, courses and workshops. Patricia is committed to being a powerful force of change in the world and she continues to find revolutionary ways to uplift her students and help them change – both inside and out.
