Show Notes
In today's conversation, Coach Steph and I break a massive myth in the diet world: you don't have to hate your body to change it. In fact, that self-loathing is often the exact reason you keep overeating, bingeing, and starting over.
We talk honestly about how years of dieting train women to see their body as a problem to control… and why that backfires every single time. Then we show you a different way -- one that actually leads to weight loss and peace with food.
Inside this episode, you'll learn:
Why weight loss doesn't automatically fix body image (and often makes it worse)
How dieting fuels bingeing, food obsession, and body shame
The difference between body positivity and body neutrality (and why neutrality works)
How to stop putting your life on hold "until you lose the weight"
Practical, doable steps to work on body image while still losing weight
This isn't mindset fluff. You'll walk away with tools you can start using today to calm food noise, stop the shame spiral, and build a healthier relationship with your body... without giving up your goals.

"It's just a few bites." "A little won't hurt."
You've been "so good" for two weeks. Your jeans button without a fight. Then one night you're in the pantry with a box of Goldfish wondering what on earth just happened.
"I don't want to deprive myself."
You were on point all week. Then somebody brought cookies to the office, you had one, and the whole day was shot. So you finished the box and swore you'd start fresh Monday.
100 days is not a small number. It's enough time to build a habit, stress-test it during the holidays, and walk into January already ahead instead of starting from zero.
