Courtney Gioia is the founder of Loyobo, a community for women who are sick of trying to be smaller. This ISN'T about weight loss for Courtney. This is about learning how to love your body and feel strong so you can take up space in your body AND in your life.
AMEN to that!
It was such a joy for me to chat with Courtney and throughout our conversation there were pinnacle points, where Courtney's words hit home and her lived experience shone through. We are not here, in the non-diet space, saying once you ditch the diet, life is easy. Far from it. Thin privilege is real and sometimes finding food freedom and learning to accept your body as it changes, is like swimming upstream. But as Dory says....just keep swimming.

Are you feeling stuck in the 'earn and burn' cycle with your exercise routine, or as summer approaches, are you feeling self-conscious about wearing a swimsuit on the beach?
Maybe you just want to stop worrying so much about food or how your body looks.
You are not alone and your body is NOT the problem
