Is This What Body Positivity Really Looks Like?
What’s the Episode About?
In this heartwarming and empowering episode, Guillaume opens up about his personal journey from being a self-conscious “chubby kid” to becoming a confident athlete, coach, and advocate for body positivity in the LGBTQ+ community. Through stories of living in Australia and New Zealand, embracing fatherhood, and building the foundations of his personal brand The Fluffy Athlete, Guillaume shares how fitness became not just a physical transformation, but a path to self-love, confidence, and purpose.
We talk about breaking stereotypes in sports, creating inclusive and safe spaces, the role of nutrition, and how fashion and identity go hand-in-hand. Guillaume reminds us that fitness isn’t about performance - it’s about joy, community, and celebrating who you are right now. Today is all about:
Body image & confidence
LGBTQ+ visibility in athletics
The joy of movement, not just performance
Creating inclusive fitness spaces
How personal growth and self-love go hand in hand
Embracing fashion and breaking norms
This episode is a celebration of individuality, growth, and the power of community. Whether you're on a fitness journey or finding your voice, Guillaume’s story will inspire you to show up, fluff and all.
