You’ve probably heard the message: “If you really healed, you wouldn’t care what you looked like anymore.”

But… what if that’s just another lie dressed up as empowerment?

In this episode, I’m getting real about something so many women in the healing space feel—but are too afraid to say out loud:

Yes, I still care what I look like. No, that doesn’t make me shallow. And it definitely doesn’t make me toxic.

We’re diving into:

  • The shame spiral around wanting to feel good in your body
  • The difference between obsession and intention
  • How I personally navigate physique goals now (hint: it’s not rooted in self-hate anymore)
  • And the gut-check questions that keep me grounded when old patterns try to creep back in

This is for the woman who’s healing… but still wants to glow up.
Who wants food freedom and to feel sexy in a crop top.
Who wants to care about her body—without letting it control her life.

Because healing doesn’t mean giving up your goals.
It means you get to chase them from a place of self-respect, not self-rejection.

💜 You are not a bad person for wanting more.
You’re just human. And in this episode—I’ll prove it to you.
