This is the episode I wish had existed when I was in the thick of it.
Body image is something almost every woman I know has struggled with at some point and yet the conversation we're having about it online is either toxic or so surface level that it doesn't actually help. So today we're going deeper.
We're talking about where body image actually comes from, why bad body days are almost never actually about your body, and what it really means to feel safe and at home in yourself.
We cover: The history of women's bodies Why body dissatisfaction is a belief system problem not a body problem The uncomfortable truth about fatphobia and where our beliefs actually come from What feeling safe in your body actually looks like Why the health system was never designed around what women actually need How to quietly fight back and start rewriting the narrative

Happy 1 Year Period Anniversary to Me! On today's episode I reflected back on my own period recovery journey and the mental shifts that came along with it. Recovery forced me to change my whole belief system, trust in a process I didn't even know was working and rediscover who I was before the world told me who I should be. Here are 7 quotes that rewired my brain and altered my brain chemistry and I hope that they might do the same for you. Thank you all for being here! xo
We’re kicking off this QOTW episode with a little life update. Then we’re getting into sleep - my top tips for actually getting better rest and why so many of the things we do without thinking are quietly wrecking it.
This week it’s a Q&A and we’re getting into all of it - the personal stuff and the recovery stuff. This one feels like a proper catch up and I loved every second of it.
This week I’m sharing the nutrition advice I find myself giving again and again as a women’s health coach, the stuff that actually moves the needle and that mainstream nutrition culture consistently gets wrong.
This week's question is one I think so many of us need to hear answered honestly because rest guilt is real, it is incredibly common, and it has nothing to do with being lazy.
