In this episode, I’m breaking down why awareness isn’t the same as safety, and the three hidden reasons you still feel out of control around food.

    If the idea of “eating intuitively” sounds peaceful but also terrifying, this episode is for you.

  • How I Stopped Using Exercise to Punish Myself
    Oct 29 2025

    For years, I told myself I just loved working out. I was “disciplined,” “committed,” “the fit one.” But deep down, it wasn’t love—it was fear. Fear of gaining weight, fear of losing control, fear of not being enough.

    In this episode, I’m sharing how my relationship with movement went from obsessive and punishing to freeing and empowering. We’ll talk about the sneaky red flags that keep you stuck in guilt and burnout, and the exact mindset shifts that helped me start moving from love instead of fear.

    If you’ve ever felt anxious on rest days, used workouts to “make up” for food, or tied your worth to how hard you train… this episode will hit home. It’s time to stop using exercise against yourself—and start using it to come home to your body again.

  • Why I Stopped Trying to ‘Love My Body’
    Oct 22 2025

    For years, I thought the goal of healing was to finally love my body. I told myself, “Once I love what I see in the mirror, then I’ll feel confident. Then I’ll be free.”
    But what I didn’t realize is that chasing constant body love was just another form of control—another way to measure my worth.

    In this episode, I’m getting real about why I stopped trying to “love my body,” and what true body healing actually means. I’ll share the moment I realized that peace wasn’t hiding in the mirror, it was in how I treated myself when I didn’t like what I saw.

    We’ll talk about the difference between love and respect, how to navigate bad body image days without spiraling, and what it actually looks like to live in partnership with your body instead of war against it.

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at healing because you don’t wake up loving every inch of yourself—you need to hear this.

    Because healing isn’t about constant confidence.
    It’s about consistent compassion.

  • The Body Image Lie You’ve Probably Believed Too
    Oct 15 2025

    For years, I lived under a lie that dictated everything I ate, every workout I did, and every outfit I put on. The lie said: “Once my body looks a certain way, THEN I’ll be confident. THEN I’ll be happy. THEN I’ll be enough.”

    At my smallest, people told me I had the “dream body.” I had visible abs, lean arms, the flat stomach I thought would finally fix me. And yet—I cried in dressing rooms, deleted every photo, and still hated what I saw in the mirror. At my heaviest, I told myself, “See? This is why you’re miserable—because of your body.” But the truth was…it had never been about my body. It was the belief itself keeping me stuck.

    In this episode, I’m sharing how this body image lie had me in a chokehold, the dangerous ways it keeps so many women trapped, and the moment I realized confidence was never hiding in a smaller jean size. If you’ve ever thought, “When I lose 10 pounds, then I’ll finally feel okay,” this conversation is your wake-up call.

    You’ll walk away with a new perspective, practical tools, and—most importantly—permission to stop waiting on your body to start living your life.
