In this episode of Amplified, Ellen sits down with Cassie, a social worker and disability advocate, to explore their evolving relationship with movement and healthcare. Cassie shares their personal journey of navigating movement and health in a larger body— unpacking the impact of rigid fitness culture and how traditional health and fitness models have often overlooked their Intersecting identities. Together, they reflect on the importance of flexibility, self-compassion, and redefining what movement and health looks like— and explore how medical and fitness models can better embody these principles by centring lived experience and making decisions with individuals, not for them.
