How I Stopped Using Exercise to Punish Myself

For years, I told myself I just loved working out. I was “disciplined,” “committed,” “the fit one.” But deep down, it wasn’t love—it was fear. Fear of gaining weight, fear of losing control, fear of not being enough. In this episode, I’m sharing how my relationship with movement went from obsessive and punishing to freeing and empowering. We’ll talk about the sneaky red flags that keep you stuck in guilt and burnout, and the exact mindset shifts that helped me start moving from love instead o...

Why I Stopped Trying to ‘Love My Body’

For years, I thought the goal of healing was to finally love my body. I told myself, “Once I love what I see in the mirror, then I’ll feel confident. Then I’ll be free.” But what I didn’t realize is that chasing constant body love was just another form of control—another way to measure my worth. In this episode, I’m getting real about why I stopped trying to “love my body,” and what true body healing actually means. I’ll share the moment I realized that peace wasn’t hiding in the mirror, it w...

The Body Image Lie You’ve Probably Believed Too

For years, I lived under a lie that dictated everything I ate, every workout I did, and every outfit I put on. The lie said: “Once my body looks a certain way, THEN I’ll be confident. THEN I’ll be happy. THEN I’ll be enough.” At my smallest, people told me I had the “dream body.” I had visible abs, lean arms, the flat stomach I thought would finally fix me. And yet—I cried in dressing rooms, deleted every photo, and still hated what I saw in the mirror. At my heaviest, I told myself, “See? Th...

Balance Is Bullsh*t (Here’s What Works Instead)

Have you ever tried to live the so-called “balanced lifestyle” — clean meals Monday to Friday, one cookie on Saturday, a 4-day workout split — and still ended up in guilt, shame, or binge mode? You’re not crazy. The version of “balance” diet culture sells us is just restriction in prettier packaging. In this episode, I break down exactly why balance keeps high-achieving women stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle — and what actually works instead. You’ll learn: Why “80/20” is just another food ru...

What I Wish I Knew Before I Started My Fitness Journey

When I first started my fitness journey, I thought smaller jeans and a flatter stomach were the ticket to happiness. Instead, I ended up skipping dinners with friends so I could weigh out almond butter, losing my period from overtraining, and crying in the mirror even at my “goal weight.” In this episode, I share the exact lessons that could have saved me years of guilt, binges, and burnout: Why getting smaller won’t fix the voice that says you’re not enoughThe truth about discipline (and why...

I Didn’t Start Loving My Body Until I Stopped Chasing Skinny and Started Chasing Strong
