Episode 004: Adina Crawford — Unfit for Inclusion? Breaking Barriers of Race and Body Bias in Wellness

A conversation with Adina Crawford, wellness advocate, yoga instructor, and diversity ambassador, about her late-in-life journey into fitness and her mission to make wellness spaces inclusive for all. Adina opens up about growing up feeling awkward and excluded from physical activity, her experience with obesity, and the turning point that led her to reclaim her health, her joy, and her voice.

The conversation explores the barriers to inclusion in wellness—from racism to body bias—and how Adina is working to dismantle them by showing up, speaking out, and making space for those who’ve long been left out. We talk about the emotional power of movement, what true inclusivity looks like, and how joy, presence, and connection can become tools for transformation. Join us as we dive into what it means to claim your space, to challenge who wellness is for, and to use your story as a force for change.
