Cindy: Prioritizing physical and mental health while remembering to love each other.

September 23, 2020 • Gina Meyer, DPT • Season 2 • Episode 38

Connect and Rise with Cindy Rakowitz, fitness enthusiast and Founder/Executive Director at Fit 4 the Cause. Cindy shares her pathway to prioritizing health and eventually founding Fit 4 the Cause, which brings exercise therapy and wellness education to the underserved. Cindy also opens up about the losses she has experienced, sharing how she recently decided to commit to working on her mental health to navigate the loss of her husband. Her advocacy for mental health services and breaking any stigma associated is very powerful. We also briefly discuss the state of our world and Cindy offers the most amazing insight: if we are at a loss for what to do or how to help, the best thing we can do is love each other. She puts love out into the world every day through programming with Fit 4 the Cause and her description of the joy she sees in the smiles (over Zoom for now) of those she is able to help will make you a believer.
