Welcome to Episode 200 of Thrive Beyond Size! 🎉
This milestone episode is deeply personal. I'm pulling back the curtain on my full journey—from launching this podcast in my bedroom closet under the name Mindful Weight Loss… to becoming a fierce advocate for body trust, intuitive eating, and weight-inclusive care.
In this episode, I share:
The truth behind why I kept my early weight-loss episodes online
My painful turning points—from binge eating in secret to a moment of heartbreak at a physician leadership conference
What made me finally walk away from weight loss coaching
The moment everything clicked (spoiler: it involved one powerful training video and a lot of late-night reflection)
What it really looks like to live a life guided by intuition, not obsession
How I now honor my body instead of trying to change it
If you've ever felt stuck in your body… ashamed of your story… or unsure if this kind of freedom is even possible for you—this episode is for you. You’ll hear my raw truth, including the messy middle and the moments I wanted to give up.
This is more than a reflection. It’s a love letter to your future self—and a celebration of what’s possible when you stop fighting your body and start living your life.
If this episode resonated with you, please share it with a friend, leave a review, or tag me on social media. Let’s spread the message that you don’t have to change your body to change your life.
