In this episode of Talking Sh*t, we’re diving into the unspoken side of body image - and why weight loss alone won’t fix how you feel in your skin. Jana peels back the layers of shame, self-judgment, and avoidance that keep women stuck in a cycle of self-hate, and introduces the powerful practice of fear exposure therapy as a way to gently reclaim your body and your worth.
We get real about:
👀 Why weight loss, health, and body image are three different journeys
🧠 How the brain reinforces shame—and how to interrupt the cycle
🩱 What fear exposure actually looks like (and why it’s not just about swimsuits)
🪞 Small steps to face body image fears—without forcing toxic positivity
❤️ Why confidence doesn’t come first—you build it through action
Whether you’ve been hiding from mirrors, dreading the beach, or waiting until you “feel ready” to live your life, this episode gives you honest insight, actionable steps, and permission to stop waiting and start healing—right where you are.
So take a breath, grab a drink, and let’s talk some sh*t about body image—because you don’t need a perfect body to live a full, fearless life.
