This episode starts with 30 minutes of anti-racism resources, and then a 30 minute chat with Chrissy King back in March 2020. Chrissy is a writer, speaker, and fitness coach, and is currently enrolling Anti-Racism Crash Courses for Fitness and Wellness Professionals on July 15th, 16th, and 17th (all separate events!). We don't address racism in our conversation, the conversation was back in March, and focused on how she healed her relationship with fitness and food, but please join me in supporting her current anti-racist educational content.
