In The Changing Room with Lyndsey Gormley

Meet Lyndsey! This interview was one of my favourites. I could have listened to and laughed with Lyndsey all day long, but unfortunately, we only had one hour!

Lyndsey rediscovered her love of fitness by participating in the Women’s Five programme - a strong network of inspired women in Hong Kong who seek to create a balanced lifestyle through staying active, having fun, and creating positive change in their lives and that of the community around them. Prior to this, Lyndsey enjoyed exercise but never felt there was a space for her. She says that not being naturally athletic meant she was left out of a lot of team sports. As Lyndsey got older, she became, as she describes, a fair-weather gym bunny. She felt the pressure to lose weight and went to the gym solely for that reason. As she says, “I wasn’t there to celebrate my body, I was there out of shame – I was there to shrink myself”.

However, in this episode we discuss what Lyndsey came to realise: ALL bodies are good bodies, you must BE KIND to yourself, and we should celebrate WHAT our bodies can DO, not HOW they LOOK!!!

I hope you enjoy what Lyndsey has to say in this episode! There were a lot of takeaways for me so THANK YOU Lyndsey for sharing your story and your journey!
