196. You’re Not a Number: Why Healing From The Scale Is the Real Weight Loss

Welcome to another potent episode of the Embodied Writing Warrior Podcast. If you've ever had a complicated relationship with the scale, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I share:

• Why even high-achieving, body-positive women can still struggle to let go of the scale.
• 3 powerful reasons your scale obsession might be sabotaging your food freedom journey.
• How to break free from the BMI shame spiral and rewrite your health journey through Erotic Storytelling 301.
• A powerful dream + embodied rewrite featuring Julia from Nip/Tuck, and our two favorite masculine archetypes, Rex and Haven, rescuing you from math class and leading you into narrative liberation.

You’ll walk away with 4 writing prompts, a somatic truthbomb, and a renewed commitment to freedom on your terms—not the scale’s.

Journal Prompts:

1. What if my body has never betrayed me—but I’ve betrayed her by believing the world’s lies?
2. If I didn’t need to shrink to be safe… what would I allow myself to feel?
3. What’s the sexiest thing my body has ever done—just for me?
4. What if softness isn’t weakness? What if softness is power?
