66. Joyful Movement with Jill Monico
Manage episode 477290385 series 3588856
In this episode of The Anti Diet Life, I’m joined by Jill Monico, a fitness coach and newly certified Intuitive Eating Counselor with over 15 years of experience helping women feel strong and confident in their bodies—without falling into the traps of diet culture. After a 35-year struggle with dieting and body image, Jill shares how she reclaimed movement as a joyful, compassionate practice and now helps others do the same, especially women in perimenopause navigating body changes with grace.
We dive into Intuitive Eating Principle #9 (Movement—Feel the Difference) and explore everything from internalized rules about exercise to nervous system cues, and the difference between movement and exercise. Jill also shares her powerful “5 R’s” framework for making peace with movement, how to find your “why” for fitness beyond calories burned, and why celebrating your body—yes, even now—is a non-negotiable. If you’ve ever felt at war with working out, this one’s for you.
