We talk about how grief after losing her father affected her motivation, self-esteem, and daily life and how exercise slowly became a way to reconnect with herself, not punish her body.This conversation goes far beyond workouts and diets.It’s about mental health, shame, resilience, and learning to be kind to yourself.We also explore Samia’s powerful experience on the Camino de Santiago, a journey filled with physical challenges, illness, unexpected kindness from strangers, and moments that reshaped how she understood strength and vulnerability.In this episode, you’ll hear about:emotional eating and body image strugglesgrief and its impact on motivation and mental healthsustainable fitness and realistic weight lossbuilding confidence through movementthe psychology of self-talk and identitynon-scale victories and real-life transformationwhy fitness is not just physical, but emotional and mentalIf you’ve ever felt stuck in your health journey, ashamed of your body, or overwhelmed by life, Samia’s story will resonate deeply with you.
