“Beyond the Body” is a podcast for people who dare to look within, challenge their conditioning, and embrace discomfort to evolve their mind, body, and life.
Join host Christina Slater as she explores the psychology behind your habits and the shadows that shape patterns like binge eating, all-or-nothing thinking, and self-sabotage in your fitness journey.
Expect raw conversations about body image, mindset, relationships, self-trust, and the deeper inner work most coaches won’t touch — the work that transforms your mind, your body, and your life from the inside out.
If you want to get fit, get inspired, think deeper, and explore the parts of fitness no plan ever talks about, you’re in the right place.

What if the things we've been taught to fear aren't actually the things we should be afraid of?
This in episode we're diving into the darkness. From my lifelong obsession with horror, haunted houses, and all things spooky; to the history of demons, witch hunts, and the suppression of feminine sexuality, we're exploring how darkness became synonymous with evil—and who REALLY benefits from keeping us afraid.
We get into Carl Jung's concept of the shadow, the parts of ourselves we've been conditioned to repress, and why avoiding the things that make us uncomfortable often gives them more power over us. I also break down the symbolism behind two of my favorite tarot cards, The Devil and The Lovers, and what they can teach us about attachment, control, freedom, and self-trust.
In this episode, we explore:
Growing up on horror movies and never having a nightmare
Why we're conditioned to fear darkness and the unfamiliar
The history of demons, the occult, and the persecution of witches
How shame and social conditioning disconnect us from pleasure
Why menopause used to be a woman’s power era.. But now it’s something to dread
Carl Jung, the shadow, and what happens when we repress parts of ourselves
The hidden symbolism connecting The Devil and The Lovers in tarot
The numerology of 666 and what the pentagram represents
How attachment, avoidance, and control keep us trapped
Why reclaiming your darkness might be the key to becoming whole
Questions to reflect on: What were you taught to fear? Which parts of yourself have you learned to hide? And what might change if you trusted yourself enough to finally let them out?
If this episode resonates, leave me a comment on Spotify or share it with someone who's ready to explore the darker parts of themselves.
