“The worst advice I ever got was, exercise more and eat less.”
Sammy Williams shares how that advice, repeated over and over, became a damaging mantra that pushed him toward unhealthy extremes and left him battling shame around his body. What sounds simple on the surface was actually harmful, and it took years for him to unlearn it.
In this episode, Sammy opens up about his journey to rebuild a healthier relationship with food, exercise, and himself, and why quick-fix advice can do more harm than good. It is a candid and powerful conversation about healing, self-acceptance, and finding balance beyond the scale.
Hosted by Sean Taylor, produced by JB, and made possible by Smith + Howard.
