In this episode, I share honestly about a season of self-doubt and questioning within my business, and how the shifting landscape of body image culture deeply impacted me. Over the past year, as conversations online have moved back toward weight loss, GLP-1 medications, and the revival of thinness as the ultimate goal, I found myself wondering whether there was still space for body acceptance and intuitive eating in today’s world.
I talk about what it felt like to consider stepping away from the One Body to Love program, and how marketing messages around weight loss and “fixing” your body began to challenge my confidence and clarity. I also share how returning to one-on-one therapy sessions with women struggling with binge eating, disordered eating, and body image concerns helped ground me again in what I know to be true.
This conversation is about more than business. It’s about navigating diet culture, healing your relationship with food, grieving the thin ideal, and recognizing the emotional toll that repeated weight loss attempts can take. I speak to the women who have tried everything, who feel discouraged by the resurgence of weight loss culture, and who are ready for deeper, sustainable support rooted in intuitive eating and self-trust.
If you’ve felt confused, discouraged, or disheartened by the cultural shift back toward shrinking your body, this episode will help you feel less alone — and clearer about what support can look like when you’re truly done with dieting.
