Chrissy King: Body Liberation, Taking Up Space & Unpacking Our Body Ideals

Episode #30

Chrissy King is a writer, speaker, strength coach, and self-proclaimed truth-teller with a passion
for intersectional feminism and creating a diverse and inclusive wellness industry. She has been
featured in SELF, SHAPE, BuzzFeed, Muscle and Fitness, and Livestrong, among others. She
empowers individuals to stop shrinking, start taking up space and use their energy to create their
specific magic in the world. When she’s not serving her clients by empowering them to create
stress-free and sustainable lifestyles and feel confident and empowered in their skin, she spends
her time lifting all the weights, reading, traveling, and hanging with friends and family.


Beth Clayton (your host) is a soul-based life and health coach and loves to help open-hearted
people break free from their own self-sabotage, outdated thought patterns, and past pain so they
can deepen their relationship with their own soul’s intuition, speak their truth courageously and
fulfill their most authentic desires. She is the creator of multiple group programs, retreats, and
transformational workshops, leading hundreds of truth-seekers toward finding freedom and ease
in their relationship with food, their bodies, their lives and ultimately, themselves.
