Oct 19

Show Notes:

Hey everyone!

In the Period Recovery Podcast this week, I’m joined by Dr. Ashley Moody, who shares her journey through childhood and teen years dealing with a body she was uncomfortable with. Once Ashley learned to accept and love her body, she found freedom. Knowing what low-intense intentional training looks like gave Ashley a new lease on life.

I hope you have found this episode helpful.
