Weight To Be Happy
Weight To Be Happy
Shaleen Reid-Holbrook
One of us is plus-size and one of us is standard size but the world treats us incredibly different. Wives, business partners and coaches Shaleen and Nathalie are tired of the toxic health & wellness culture. They'll take a deep dive into the facts, myths and downright lies in the health and wellness industry and dissect how hard it is to navigate in a world that isn't made for people with extra weight. From unhealthy trends to body positivity, they'll offer a no-frills take on all things health and wellness and how we make ourselves fit into a society that often doesn't have space for us. There is no ideal weight to make you happy and that's why you shouldn't wait to live your life and be happy!

Why eMBody Was Born:  A Tale of Two Wives
We eat the same things, we have the same activity level and we have practically the same schedule and hobbies, yet we both look so different. Nathalie is judged as unhealthy based on her appearance while Shaleen is deemed the healthier of the two of because she doesn’t carry excess weight.  The more we talked about it, the more we realized how toxic and full of bullshit the current health and wellness system really is and this is what led us to create eMBody Inclusive Wellness.
