This is the Better Than Fine podcast update, part of the More|Better substack. They’re on building a well-being lifestyle despite overwhelm, burnout, and frustration. I’m Darlene Marshall, wellness coach and wellbeing educator, with 15 years coaching in the fitness and wellness space ~ I’ve got over a dozen certifications, a Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology from UPenn, teach Pos Psych for Nova Southeastern University, been quoted in the NYTimes, Business Insider, and Washington Post, and I write curriculum on wellness coaching and personal training for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).

Why trauma awareness matters for ALL practitioners – trainers, coaches, yoga instructors, massage therapists, and more

Need some help with your wellbeing this season? This month I’m piloting 2 new programs:
The Self Care Reboot - a weekly virtual lunch coaching meetup (12p ET Wednesdays) where simple, actionable, systems-focused self care practices are front and center.
Strength Without the Struggle - a twice-weekly, virtual, inclusive functional strengths class (Tues/Thurs 7a ET) where the focus is on getting strong without the shame, blame, and guilt many people experience in fitness spaces
Want to talk about them first? 1 hour consultations are always free (because you shouldn’t have to pay someone just to ask if they’re a good fit for you)
