Elizabeth Smart is feeling strong. Since going public with her bodybuilding journey in April, the activist has found that the advice she received during the process not only helped her physically, but emotionally, too. “It’s lifting heavy, it’s prioritizing protein, and then for me, it was really important to have a coach that was there to help me,” Smart exclusively shared with E! News. “I feel like all of those things have helped make a difference." Smart—who was kidnapped and held captive for nine months when she was a teenager in 2002—is also grateful for how becoming a bodybuilder has helped her feel more comfortable in her own skin. “It’s taught me to let go of the shame that I felt after everything that I experienced,” she shared. “It taught me that my body is beautiful, and I don’t need to be ashamed of it. I can embrace it.” And it’s those emotions that Smart is hoping to channel through her new iHeartRadio podcast ‘The Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart,’ which launches Aug. 17.
