NWP Episode 186: Erin Bahadur’s Inside Job Healing from Addiction and How Motherhood Changed Her
This episode begins by sharing a few updates, including a continuation of our conversation on anti-racism work, to encourage you to continue as well. In this episode I share how I am learning the differences between body liberation, the body positive movement and health at every size. Here at Nourishing Minds Nutrition, we will do a better job of showcasing those differences, and giving credit to those the movements were created for, Black marginalized bodies.
Today on the podcast I have Erin Bahadur on the show. I love following and learning from Erin, she is real, honest and kind- and has the CUTEST baby, too! I also love her focus on mental health, and we discuss this at length in today’s episode.
Erin is a recovering addict, personal trainer, writer, and mother living in North Carolina. Her blog, Erin's Inside Job, is a journey through her continued recovery and a reminder to others that true wellness comes from within. Active in the mental health and fitness communities, Erin has multiple years of experience in sharing her story with the public, growing her professional career in the face of adversity, and marketing her message to a wide reader base. She has also been featured in such publications as The Huffington Post, Refinery 29, and several others.
