My Gym Crush Just Walked In with Natasha Noel | S2 Episodes 16

Trigger warning: This episode has three hosts. Every gym has that one person you eventually end up talking to. For us, it was Natasha Noel. This episode is what happened when we brought that friendship into the studio. From gym crushes and sexual tension to creepy encounters, gym crimes, and deeply personal stories, this conversation goes far beyond the four walls of a gym. Natasha opens up about growing up too soon, carrying the weight of being “the strong one,” and the years of inner work it took to unlearn old patterns and rebuild her relationship with herself. She reflects on healing, choosing acceptance over the pressure to love yourself, and why becoming your own safe place is often the hardest workout of all. Known for her work as a fitness coach, yoga teacher, and creator, Natasha has spent years helping people strengthen their bodies. In this conversation, she shares the equally demanding work of strengthening the mind. This episode moves the way real friendships do.. playful one moment, deeply honest the next. And before you know it, you’re talking about the things you usually keep to yourself.
