In today’s episode, Jessie invites special guest, friend, and colleague Lauren Smiley to the show!
We chat about her experience with fitness coaching for clients in pregnancy, postpartum, and pelvic health clients, and the unique and impactful way she goes about her coaching in a body neutral, fat-positive, and anti-diet culture way (while living a full life that includes homeschooling 3 children!).
