Swimsuits for Dystopian Beach Days! 👙🏖️
Welcome to Body Image Coaching for the End Times, where we’re serving revolutionary self-love with a side of SPF 100.
Yes, we’re still showing up, still squatting, and still reclaiming joy in our bodies—even if the ozone layer is giving up faster than your Wi-Fi during a Zoom call.
This work might start with YOU and your body, but make no mistake—it’s about all of us.
We liberate ourselves not to check out of the mess, but to build the strength and clarity to change it.
And if we’re going down with the planet, baby, we’re doing it moisturized, empowered, and feeling hella strong. 🔥🌊👙

UV protection for when there’s no ozone layer
I’m sure you’ve noticed by now, that yes, I am a personal trainer and professional exercise person.
Yes, I love getting into the weeds about how to remove and overcome all of our individual barriers to movement.
Yes, I love helping people realize they CAN move their bodies without pain.
(Squats, I’m looking at you…)
And yes, all of those are individual solutions to what is largely a collective problem (aka Toxic Fitness Culture).
But I see very clearly how the desperately needed collective body liberation work links directly to the personal & individual body liberation work that I do. But more specifically:
I’M COACHING PERSONAL LIBERATION TO CREATE A REVOLUTION TO ACHIEVE COLLECTIVE LIBERATION!
(Sorry for yelling, I’m just very passionate.)
The micro is the macro. An entire culture isn’t simply going to drastically change without A LOT of individuals within the culture drastically changing, creating a tipping point that sways the larger whole.
“What we practice at the small scale sets the patterns for the whole system. The micro reflects the macro and vice versa. Fibonacci patterns show up from space to cauliflower.”

Individual growth to collective liberation journey
In fact, @FatPositiveTherapist on IG recently shared this infographic that perfectly encapsulates this journey:

When the world feels out of control
And if you were with me back in November, you may remember 2 tools I shared for When The World Feels Out of Control–both helping you to process your feelings, but then get into action from a place of nervous system regulation, rather than fight/flight activation.
(Although, who’s to say we shouldn’t be immensely activated right now? Not me, that’s for sure. All I know is that being immensely activated for 4 years straight wasn’t working for me.)
So whether you’re learning to liberate yourself, or you’re ready to work your personal liberation into the larger collective, these tools help you do both…
Please check these tools out & revisit them whenever you need something akin to a Bugs Bunny & Michael Jordan pep talk!
Feeling confident enough to wear that swimsuit to the beach!
Do I wish the entire business I’ve founded didn’t even need to exist?! Yes! I desperately wish this wasn’t a need in the world.
(And part of the reason I want to start a revolution is so that in my lifetime we will make my job obsolete and I’ll find some other hyper-fixation to obsess over for a while, thankyouverymuch.)
I mean, ideally I would do this for things as seemingly quaint as “feeling confident enough to wear that swimsuit to the beach!”
But right now, I’m doing it because if the world ends, don’t you want to wear a goddamn swimsuit at the beach and enjoy it while you can?!
Final Thoughts
So whether you’re gearing up for dystopian beach days, trying to unlearn 20+ years of body shame, or just want to finally enjoy movement without all the toxic nonsense, body image coaching is where the revolution begins.
This work isn’t just about swimsuits or squats—it’s about reclaiming your power, one radical act of self-trust at a time.

Let’s not do this, though, okay?^^^
Something tells me these guys are NOT AT ALL concerned with collective liberation, ya know what I mean?
All right, so let’s take care of ourselves, take care of each other, liberate ourselves so we can liberate the world, and wear the fucking swimsuit while we’ve got our one glorious body.
