In this special bonus episode, I'm revisiting one of the most powerful segments from Talk Your Abs Off — Absolution. This is the moment where each guest gets real about the toxic beliefs, pressures, and outdated narratives in the fitness world — and shares what they want YOU to release guilt and punishment around.

If you've ever felt guilty for missing a workout, pressured to shrink your body, or confused by conflicting health advice, this episode is for you. From unrealistic body standards to hustle culture and the shame-based messaging so many of us have internalized, these “absolutions” are a collective exhale — a reminder that fitness should empower you, not control you.

Whether you’re new to the podcast or have been following along episode by episode, this compilation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and ready to redefine what health and fitness mean to you.

Let this episode be your permission slip to let go, move forward, and reclaim your relationship with fitness. Let’s rewrite the rules together, and embrace a more balanced, guilt-free approach to health and movement.
