This was recorded October 2021. 

Erin has been a part of my fitness community for several years and she brings great energy to our interview.  We reflect down memory lane to our high school days and hair products up to our current experiences as women in our 30’s dealing with unwanted comments about our bodies.   Please enjoy this interview and share with someone who may relate.  

I am Coco Benitez, the founder of The Body Story Movement and I want to say thank you very much for listening.

I am interviewing women from all over asking, “what is your body story and where would you like to begin?”

The Body Story Movement was created in 2021 to encourage girls and women to hold appreciation for their bodies during each phase of their life; all through the exchange of powerful personal storytelling!   Coco’s desire in creating the Body Story Movement derives from struggles with loving her own body through the years and wishing she could hear others’ most personal reflections.

Today utilizing her skills as a life coach, Coco interviews women asking, “what is your body story and where would you like to begin?” Collecting these powerful stories is phase I.

Phase II is the Body Story Movement Scholarship.   This enriched mentorship experience cultivates connection between ambitious young women in high school & college and professional women ready to serve as mentors.  For a year, mentors and mentees will engage in sponsored events in the Washington, DC area, curated to encourage mental, physical and emotional well-being.  Body Story Movement Socials will be emersed throughout the year-long experience, with participant data collected along the journey to share feedback with national and local supporters.
