Last week, I spoke at the MOVE Congress 2025 in Copenhagen on Staying Active Through Life’s Changes — exploring how movement evolves across life stages and why we need systemic, inclusive approaches to support it. 💬💪 #MOVECongress #InclusiveMovement #PhysicalActivity #PublicHealth

It finally happened – I was fat shamed by a fellow passenger on a plane. Fat shaming = negative, harmful comments about body size. It happens everywhere – hospitals, workplaces, gyms, planes. It shouldn’t. Not to me, not to anyone. Ever. #WeightStigma #FatPhobia #Inclusion
