When your client hits a wall in body image healing, it is not a sign something went wrong. It is a sign you are doing the work right.
In this Coach Corner episode, I answer a question I get more than almost any other. A practitioner has done everything correctly with her client. Intuitive eating. Body image tools. Mirror work. Six weeks of solid sessions. And now she is stuck.
I explain exactly what is happening and what to do next.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why "hitting a wall" with a client is actually a sign of progress, not failure
- What the Model Behind the Model is and how to use it at every layer of client stagnation
- The question you need to ask your client about her body that she has likely never asked herself
- How the Six Layers of Why tool moves clients from personal blame to systemic understanding
- Why this work has very little to do with food and everything to do with power, patriarchy, and social conditioning

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
