No More Burpees, No More Bullsh*t: Reclaiming Your Body and Your Power with

If you’ve ever hated your body… avoided the gym… or felt like wellness wasn’t made for women like you - this episode will change everything.

Sarah King sits down with the bold, hilarious and heart-centered Sally McWilliam - a size-inclusive personal trainer, trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, and reformed “diet culture dickhead”.... for a wildly refreshing conversation about fitness, body image, and self-worth.

Together, they unpack what it really means to feel at home in your body, how to ditch the toxic wellness culture, and why the future of women’s health looks a whole lot more like compassion, joy, and deep nervous system care.

And yes... there are absolutely no burpees involved.

• Why weight does not equal worth

• What body-positive training actually looks like

• How trauma and self-image are linked

• Finding exercise that feels good (even if it’s just 5 squats)

• Honouring your menstrual cycle and nervous system

• The power of breathwork for busy, burnt-out women

• And why cheese should be a food group

“I think burpees suck and cheese should be a food group.”

Sally McWilliam is a size-inclusive personal trainer, trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, speaker and reformed diet-culture dickhead. She helps women in bigger bodies, overwhelmed mums, and anyone sick of wellness wanker culture to get super fucking strong, calm their nervous system, and feel at home in their skin — no weigh-ins, no toxic gym vibes, and absolutely no burpees.

Sally owns a Body Positive Fitness Studio in Manly West, Brisbane, and whether you need to lift heavy or ugly cry into a breathwork session... she’s got you.
