Most fitness advice wasn’t made for women and breaks it ALL down in this week’s FMW episode.

“Go hard or go home”?
Please, go home.
Women’s bodies can handle intensity… just not every day.

We buy 70–90% of fitness programs worldwide yet the rules weren’t created for our hormones, our stress cycles, or our muscle needs.

And when we’re pushed into extreme cardio, we’re not getting stronger…we’re just getting smaller and more stressed.

Question:
Have you ever followed fitness advice that clearly wasn’t designed for women?

Too many women walk into gyms
already bracing for judgment.
As says in this week’s FMW episode, shame has never made anyone healthier.

We shame women for being “too big,” “too small,”
we shame moms for looking like they just had children,
we police bodies we don’t live in…
and somehow expect that to inspire transformation.

It doesn’t.
Empathy does.
Understanding does.
Safe spaces do.

Have you ever been shamed about your body in a fitness or wellness space?

So many women blame themselves when their bodies don’t “respond” to workouts…but as explains in this week’s FMW episode, stress changes everything.

When your cortisol is high, your body goes into survival mode, storing fat, protecting your organs, keeping you alert… even if the stress came from work, a fight, traffic, or a workout that’s too intense.

Watch the full episode for more on hormones, stress, empathy, and why women need a different approach to fitness.

Ciru’s story in Ep 352 is a reminder that African women live under constant pressure to follow a timeline that society never stops to question.

If you’ve ever been asked:
“When are you having children?”
How did it make you feel?

In this week’s episode,
breaks down one thing the fitness world desperately needs: empathy.

From fat shaming to slim shaming, to coaches using judgment as “motivation”…
She explains why none of this works and how understanding someone’s story can completely shift their fitness journey.

Question for you:
Have you ever been shamed about your body in a fitness space? How did it shape your relationship with movement?

When your anger feels intense or out of proportion, there’s usually a deeper emotion underneath; fear, exhaustion, or feeling unappreciated.

And this week on the Midweek Tease, dives even deeper into why so many of us react with anger when what we’re actually feeling is fear, hurt, or overwhelm. It’s a grounding, eye-opening conversation you don’t want to miss.

Shame doesn’t start with us,
it starts with the standards society hands us.
Lydia KM breaks down how perfection, projection, resentment and fear create cycles of shame we end up passing on… until we finally choose to dissolve it.

Has shame ever been projected onto you?
Share your experience or save this for your own healing work.

Behind the simple question “When will you have a baby?” are stories of fear and survival.

Ciru’s pregnancy became high-risk, preeclampsia changed everything.

If you’ve lived through a complicated pregnancy or premature delivery, we’d love to hear from you.

Choosing an alcohol-free life gave
and
a kind of clarity and freedom they didn’t expect.
In this moment, they talk about how easy it is to use alcohol as escape especially because drinking is so normalized in our culture.

Have you ever tried reducing or quitting alcohol?
What changed for you?
Share in the comments or DM us if it feels more personal.

“When you’re uncomfortable in your cage, another woman’s freedom will irritate you.”

This line hits because many of us have felt both sides: being triggered by someone else’s freedom…
and later realising it was a sign we needed to grow.

Has another woman’s freedom ever challenged or inspired you? Share in the comments or DM us if it feels personal.

Save this for your self-reflection days.
Share it with a woman stepping into her own freedom.

In this moment with ,
shares a truth many people who’ve experienced deep grief and loss will understand:

you don’t meet grief and stay the same.
There’s a “before grief”… and an “after” that reshapes you.

Grief breaks you.
And somehow, it expands you.
It becomes part of your healing journey,
your growth, your becoming.

If you’ve walked through grief, how did it change you?
Share in the comments or DM us if that feels safer.

Lydia KM reminds us that the discomfort you feel
isn’t a warning… it’s an invitation.
You’re not avoiding the work,
you’re avoiding the woman you could become.

You deserve her.
Lean in. Do the work.
