67 // "I Got The Dream Body But It Was A F*cking Nightmare" - Tahls Skye On Reconnecting, Respecting & Redefining Health, & Working With Your Body Rather Than Against It.

Sophie Kate

What happens when you finally get the “dream body”, but lose yourself in the process?

In this powerful & honest conversation, the gorgeous Tahls Skye shares her journey from bodybuilding and chasing perfection, to going on an incredible journey & finding true self-respect, peace, and connection with her body.

We dive into what it really means to reconnect with yourself, how to listen to your body’s signals, and why leading with compassion instead of control is the key to sustainable health.

Tahls opens up about the dark side of discipline, the fear of weight gain, and the freedom that comes from aligning with your values instead of chasing external validation.

You’ll learn simple ways to rebuild trust with your body, navigate change without shame, and start working with yourself rather than against it.

We also chat about:
• Why self-respect is non-negotiable on your health journey
• The importance of curiosity over criticism
• How to redefine what “optimal health” really means
• Tahls’ biggest lessons and what she wants every woman to know

This episode is for every woman who’s ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I’ll finally be happy when…”

Spoiler: happiness begins when you come home to yourself 🥹
