Self-Trust, Joy, Ease, and Unapologetic Queer Shit with Shohreh Davoodi
Manage episode 376137925 series 3296701
Today's episode is such a fun and mind blowing conversation with my friend Shohreh Davoodi. Seriously. The original plan was to talk about self-trust in fitness but we went in so many interesting directions (as two people with ADHD would). I had so many lightbulb moments when talking to her. Shohreh and I originally connected several years ago as two of the only HAES personal trainers in Facebook group full of non-diet dietitians and therapists. Over the years it's been awesome to watch her work (and life) shift and grow and I'm excited to let her share some of her wisdom and magic with you today.
Shohreh Davoodi is an unapologetically queer writer and creator. Driven by a passion for equal rights and representation for LGBTQIA+ folks and people of color, her work supports and celebrates the queer and BIPOC communities of which she's a proud member. Shohreh is currently working on her first novel, and she is the author of the Substack newsletter, The Queer Agenda. She happily resides in Denver, Colorado, with her fiancée, but Texas will always be home and she's forever a Texan at heart.
On this episode we talk about:
- Shohreh's personal and professional journey and how she came to be doing the work (and living the life) that she is today.
- Why changing directions can be so hard and scary and how to get yourself out of the cycle of trying to force yourself into ways of being that don't feel right or authentic for you.
- Self-trust and of the things in life/society/systems that prevent us from trusting our own internal wisdom.
- How we can reclaim and practice self-trust with our fitness and wellness.
- Finding more joy and ease and what that can look and feel like in fitness and in life.
- Allllll the queer shit! Comphet: why it never dawned on a lot of us that we could be anything but straight.
