In this episode I talk about using fitness to overcome eating disorders and depression with Finland’s Amanda Essen.
Amanda: Fitness is like everything for me my passion. Before I found the gym, I wasn’t so into fitness and modeling. And I was like nothing about sports. I played soccer, but it wasn’t my thing. I just did it because everybody did.
When I stepped the first time in the gym, it was like, I just fell in love. I really directly find the connection and like, I don’t know, something lights inside me. And I started like, understand that I have a body and I need to take care of it and I want to be strong and I want to change everything, inside and outside. Like, yeah, become a strong woman and not be the person that everybody else wants me to be.
Shawn: that’s amazing. So my, my relationship with fitness is, is a little different actually. In school, playing sports, you work out because you have to, right? And it wasn’t my favorite thing to do. I did it because it was necessary for the sports that I played. Now it’s a different story, fitness is a passion.
