The Anti-Should Fitness Psychology Podcast

with Dr Han Newman

Anti‑Should Fitness Psychology is a space for health-conscious people to build lifelong fitness without "shoulds", shame or self-punishment. Hosted by Sport and Exercise Psychologist in training and fitness community leader Han, this podcast explores how "shoulds" lead us to an unsustainable, guilt and shame filled all-or-nothing approach to health and fitness. You’ll learn how to step away from the "shoulds" and build a psychologically healthy, values-led approach to health and fitness that’s built on self‑compassion, flexibility, and self-trust, so that you can be fit FOR LIFE.
