What if you love your body, but still want to change it? That's the question I'm taking to today's guest.
You're going to hear from outdoor creator, filmmaker and mental health advocate Andy Neal. In this conversation, Andy opens up about his weight loss journey while being a voice in the body positivity space.
In this powerful conversation with Danielle Craig, Andy shares what it's really like to talk about weight loss online, why people think it's their business to comment on your body, and how to stay true to yourself when everyone has an opinion.
You'll hear:
- Why talking about weight feels so complicated
- How choosing to let go of people pleasing can make a huge difference
- How movement and nature can support mental health (it wouldn't be an episode with Andy without this!)
- Why changing your body doesn't mean you don't love it Want more?
Check out the last episode about the three stories we need to lose around weight loss.
