My guest on this episode is Christina Malone. Christina is a national level powerlifter who is working to break down the stereotypes of bigger bodied athletes, sharing her life story about the barriers and struggles she's experienced. She's also helping others work through body image struggles through peer to peer coaching, media articles, podcasts and more. As she says, "start living for your body, not against it"!
You can find Christina on Instagram at @c.sharp85 or at her website, christinalifts.com.
Christina has also been featured in numerous publications, like Willamette Week & Scary Mommy
