If you’ve ever thought, “I know I should accept my body, but that feels like giving up,” this episode is for you.

This week I share the best body image question you can ask yourself — one that changes the entire way you see your body.

We’ll unpack where the pressure to “fix” our bodies comes from, why that instinct feels so normal, and what actually happens when you stop treating your body like a project and start living in it again.

If you’ve tried loving your body and it felt fake, or you’ve been scared that acceptance means giving up, this episode will help you see a very different perspective.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why so many women confuse acceptance with “letting themselves go”
  • The  cultural conditioning that makes “fixing” feel normal
  • What body acceptance looks like day to day — no affirmations required

Listen to this episode if:

  • You’re tired of trying to “fix” your body but don't want to let yourself go
  • You’ve tried “body love” and found it didn’t stick
  • You want to feel more peaceful and present in your body without forcing positivity
