In this episode of Rebel Rootz, Evonne Varady sits down with Hannah Leming for an honest and powerful conversation about eating disorders, body dysmorphia, fitness, and what it really looks like to take your power back.


Hannah shares how losing her identity after college softball, caring for her grandmother through cancer, and years of internal struggle eventually led her into the fitness world. She opens up about living with bulimia from 20 to 26, feeling trapped in her body and mind, and the long road of rebuilding confidence, self-worth, and mental wellness.


As a trainer, mom, mental health advocate, Fitness Director at TruFit Gym, and founder of HIPE Fitness — Honor, Inspire, Persevere, Empower — Hannah now helps women see exercise as more than a physical transformation. For her, movement can be a mental breakthrough, a path back to self-trust, and a way to reconnect with your body from a place of strength instead of shame.


Evonne and Hannah talk about body image, the hidden signs of eating disorders, why weight loss alone does not create confidence, and how women can stop chasing external validation and start asking deeper questions about what they really want.


If you have ever struggled with your body, your identity, or your mental health, this conversation is a reminder that healing is possible, asking for help matters, and your power is never gone for good.


Tune in to hear how Hannah Leming turned pain into purpose and now helps other women use fitness, mindset, and community to heal from the inside out.
