170: Faith, Fitness and Feminism ft. Rebecca Dussault

Here's the tricky part about being a feminist: I want every woman to feel confident and empowered…and I also want every woman to be healthy. And I know that right now, especially in America, we're not. So how can we treat our bodies like temples while also avoiding fat shaming or pride? Today's guest, Rebecca Dussault, is an Olympic cross-country skier and a mom of six with a passion for the intersection of fitness and faith. We dive into allllll of it: why she thinks the Olympics committees dislike motherhood, why she's so passionate about fitness, and why she thinks treating our bodies well is a way of loving God. I loved talking to Rebecca and I hope your chat resonates with you today! This episode was brought to you by Ave Explores, an initiative of Ave Maria Press.
