What They Didn’t Tell You: From Core to Floor
Beyond Six-Packs: Esther Taub on Body & Burnout
In this raw, real, and ridiculously relatable conversation, Dr. Millie Schweky is joined by personal trainer and fitness educator Esther Taub to talk about the messy middle, where hustle meets burnout, and self-worth gets tangled up in six-packs and scale numbers.
This isn’t your typical before-and-after story. It’s the truth behind what it really looks like to build a fitness empire, deconstruct toxic body narratives, and choose kindness over control.
In this episode, we dive into:
– How Esther accidentally became a personal trainer (you’ll laugh out loud, promise)
– The toxic trap of tying worth to how your body looks
– What pregnancy taught her about slowing down, eating enough, and shifting priorities
– How gratitude shifted the way she saw her body, stretch marks and all
– Why self-love without honesty just doesn’t stick
– The grey space between body positivity and “bounce back” pressure
– How to start moving your body from a place of care, not punishment
This one’s for every woman who’s ever overtrained, under-ate, or felt like she had to earn her right to take up space. The moms. The strivers. The ones trying to get it right while staying soft with themselves.
✨ This is your permission slip to be kind, honest, and human.
