Chronic illness can feel like being stuck in a toxic relationship—with surprise flare-ups, random pain, and doctors telling us our body is literally fighting against us. It’s no wonder we start thinking of our bodies as the enemy. But what if that narrative is all wrong? What if your body isn’t at war with you, but is actually trying its hardest to keep up and survive?
In this episode, we’re flipping the script on the “my body hates me” mindset. We’ll talk about the psychological toll of believing our body is working against us and how that belief can secretly sabotage our healing. You’ll learn how to stop seeing your body as a separate, hostile force and start recognizing it as a partner—one that’s doing its best under really tough circumstances.
We’ll also dive into ways to mend that body relationship (because it’s not like we can ghost it forever). From writing a love letter to your body to shifting how you respond to flare-ups, we’re getting real about how to build trust and compassion with the one thing that’s been with you through it all—your body.
It’s time to stop fighting ourselves and start practicing some radical self-love. Because your body isn’t your enemy. It’s your teammate, your ride-or-die, and honestly? It deserves some credit for showing up every single day. Let’s learn how to show up for it, too. Grab your coffee, your blanket, or your emotional-support snack, and let’s get into it. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com
