Happy Hispanic Heritage Month and LGBTQ History month! Today’s episode features a guest who highlights the importance of both celebrations this October 2021. 

Nathalie Huerta made history as the Latina founder of The Queer Gym, the first LGBTQ Gym in the US. She’s made it her mission to help clients gain the support they need and feel comfortable while working out without the judgement they may face at regular gyms. 

FIRST: In this episode, Nathalie shares what it’s like to grow up in a large Mexican-American family in California. She’s one of 10 kids! And how her parents inspired her to become an entrepreneur. Plus, the one thing she recommends you tackle first, before starting your own business. 

THEN: She explains why working out is like dating! We discuss health and fitness and how to find a routine that works for both your mental and physical wellbeing… and actually stick with it!

FINALLY:  Nathalie shares her coming out story and gets real about the homophobia that still exists in the Latino community. What she says can be done to combat it and eliminate the toxic conversations and behaviors surrounding the LGBTQ community.
