Physical Education: “People Care About You—But They’re Not Judging You," with Angelica L.

Описание: In this episode of Physical Education, I sit down with Angelica for a conversation that has very little to do with workouts—and everything to do with belonging.

Angelica talks about not seeing themselves as “an athletic person,” the anxiety of walking into fitness spaces, sitting in the car before coming inside, and what finally made them feel like they could show up. We get into body image, pressure, why individual sports stress them out, and how finding the right environment changed their relationship with movement entirely.

At one point, they say something that pretty much sums it all up:

“You don’t have to be good to belong.”

We also talk about:

Why welcoming structure matters more than motivation

Fitness as mental health and stress management

The difference between being judged and being supported

How community quietly changes behavior over time

Why the gym can feel like healthcare, not punishment

If you’ve ever thought “I’m not ready yet” or “I don’t belong in places like that,” this one’s for you.
