Rewriting the Rules on Body Image, Realness & Confidence with Raquel Benita
This one’s for the woman who’s tired of shrinking herself, in body, in voice, in spirit.
In today’s deeply honest and emotional episode, Jen sits down with Raquel Benita, a curvy holistic nutritionist and fierce advocate for body neutrality, self-acceptance, and realness in an online world full of filters. Together, they explore the hidden (and often generational) wounds around body image, food, and femininity, and the powerful shifts that happen when women choose truth over performance.
If you’ve ever struggled with your reflection in the mirror, overthought every bite of food, or doubted your worth based on your size, this conversation will feel like a warm, honest exhale.
On Today’s Episode
- The story behind Raquel’s online rebrand and how she chose realness over perfection
- Why we need to stop making comments on bodies (yes, even “positive” ones)
- The cultural conditioning that keeps women obsessed with “fixing” themselves
- How generational beliefs around food and weight quietly shape our children
- What confidence really looks and feels like in a woman’s body
- An honest conversation around filters, FaceTune, and how we see ourselves
- A powerful reframe: What could you do with all the time you spend thinking about food and your body?
