18. How Do I Appreciate the Body I Have? With Simone De La Rue

Celebrity fitness trainer Simone De La Rue wants to change how we think about and relate to our bodies. She can trace her passion for health, women’s empowerment, and self-care to a pivotal moment in her life – an audition for the Australian Ballet Company where she felt judged solely on her physical appearance. Through her dance-based fitness program Body By Simone, she fights back against unrealistic physical expectations exacerbated by airbrushed and filtered social media photos. This episode's practice is about self-love and not subjecting yourself to anyone else’s notion of the ideal body, but being in touch with your real body instead.    Resources from the show Download the Body by Simone App for personalized workout and meal plans Sign up for Simone’s four-week course Transformation From Within  Read “Body By Simone: The 8-Week Total Body Makeover Plan” Check out Simone’s Lifestyle and Fitness Blog    Want to connect?
