Writers And Company From Cbc Radio

For years, Casey Johnston thought fitness was all about shrinking down. She was terrified of weightlifting and what it would do to her body. Now, she’s a writer and fitness advocate with a massive following of fellow lifters. Her latest book, A Physical Education, tells the story of how stepping into the weight room changed her life — body, mind and heart. Speaking with Mattea Roach, she shares how training for strength helped her take a closer look at her upbringing, body image and the way she approaches every day.If you enjoyed this conversation, check out these episodes:Kate Gies: Reclaiming her body after years of medical traumaWhy growing up is so hard — and why Canadians are so funny
