What keeps women from moving their bodies isn’t always time—it’s often embarrassment. In this episode, Luisa Curia, founder of Stronger with Luisa, unpacks how to move beyond guilt, perfectionism, and the “skinny” narrative to embrace strength as your true superpower. Her story of turning fitness into a lifeline—and then a global business—is proof that movement isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about survival, resilience, and joy.   Chapters   00:00 The Psychology of Women's Fitness Challenges 02:57 Chasing Strength Over Aesthetics 05:47 Honoring the Self: The Importance of Self-Care 08:48 Transformative Power of Fitness: A Personal Journey 11:56 Overcoming Embarrassment in Fitness 14:46 Building a Fitness Community Online 17:41 The Importance of Gratitude and Mindset 20:40 Finding Balance: Comfort vs. Challenge in Workouts 23:51 Strong vs. Skinny: Redefining Fitness Goals 26:34 The Scale: A Tool or a Trap? 27:09 Breaking the Cycle of Self-Punishment 28:50 Excuses and Time Management in Fitness 31:44 Finding Time for Exercise in Busy Lives 32:48 The Importance of Weight Training 35:56 Simple and Effective Home Workouts 36:37 Prioritizing Fitness Over Aesthetics 38:46 Addressing Embarrassment in Fitness 42:32 Transformative Effects of Consistent Exercise 43:46 Final Thoughts on Overcoming Barriers to Fitness  Luisa Curia | IG: @strongerwithluisa Free October Classes:  https://www.strongerwithluisa.com/ Tori Poulter | IG: @shala_hormonehealth FB: https://www.facebook.com/people/Shala-Hormone-Health/61564605156249/?_rdr Shop Shala: www.Shala.com
