'Building Something Beautiful'
"You've spoken negatively about yourself for long enough."
In this deeply personal episode, Dean sits down with Liz McLeish, who takes us through her journey from self-destruction to self-love, one positive affirmation at a time.
Liz opens up about hitting rock bottom with binge eating, losing complete control over her relationship with food, and the relentless cycle of negative self-talk that kept her trapped. But this isn't just a story about struggle, it's about the small, seemingly silly practices that changed everything.
What started as forced affirmations in front of a mirror became the foundation for rebuilding her life. "You look beautiful today." "Look at your beautiful smile." "I am a kind person." Simple words that felt awkward at first, but compounded into something powerful. Liz shares how she learned to stop picking herself apart and started building something beautiful instead, not just physically, but from the inside out.
This conversation is raw, hopeful, and a reminder that healing doesn't always come from grand gestures. Sometimes it starts with looking yourself in the eye and choosing kindness, even when it feels impossible.
