The Listen to Your Body Podcast (formerly Harder to Kill Radio) is all about helping women who lift weights get stronger, fuel themselves (without counting every bite of food), perform better in and out of the gym, and take up space.
Strength coach, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor Steph Gaudreau brings you discussion about building strength without obsessing about food and exercise, lifting weights, food psychology, and more.
