Ep.054: #SportsBraSquadATX - Strength Over Appearance

On this episode, we have Jessie Barnes, Teresa Krammer, and Vanessa Mitchell from Austin, TX. After, learning about the growing #SportsBraSquad movement Kelly Roberts started, this group of running friends felt led to be a part of fostering a supportive place where women can shed their insecurities and step out of their comfort zone. In 2016 they hosted a Sports Bra Squad event in Austin, TX which encouraged women of all ages and body types, and they will be hosting their second event on June 24, 2017, for Global Sports Bra Squad Day. Jessie, Teresa, and Vanessa are honest and vulnerable, sharing personal stories about their own struggles with body image, and how this movement and their community has helped them become more confident and strong in their own skin. Our guests also share running advice and challenge our listeners to join a community and to base your self-worth and body image on your talents and strength, not the shape of your body.
