About this listen

In this episode, Abby and guest Ali (aka Swole Shady) take a thoughtful look at the question: Is it ever okay to comment on someone’s body? Through the lens of the fitness industry, they explore how body talk, especially praise for thinness or muscularity, is often tied to assumptions about discipline, health, and worth. Together, they unpack why these comments can feel motivating to some and triggering to others, and how fitness spaces can unintentionally reinforce harmful body ideals. Whether you're a coach, client, or just someone navigating wellness culture, this episode offers tools for more mindful, respectful conversations about bodies.
