What happens when perfectionism finds a new target: your body?
In this deeply personal episode, I'm taking you back to college, where I first encountered eating disorder culture disguised as "health" and "discipline." Surrounded by sorority girls throwing up in bathrooms, taking laxatives, and dating a bodybuilder boyfriend, I learned that controlling my body felt like the one thing I could control in a chaotic world.
But here's the thing about eating disorders: they promise control while actually enslaving you.
I'm sharing how my relationship with my body completely transformed through two life-changing experiences: pregnancy and cancer. How I learned to see my body not as something to control, but as the miracle that created tiny humans, sustained their lives, and healed itself on a cellular level.
And here's the game-changer: once I found my PURPOSE, I stopped obsessing about my body. My thoughts shifted from self-criticism to creativity, from control to impact, from perfection to making a difference in the world.
You'll hear about:
If you've ever struggled with your relationship with food, your body, or perfectionism, this episode will show you that there's another way. A way that honors your body as the miracle it is and redirects your energy toward something that actually matters.
Your body isn't the problem. Not knowing your purpose is.
