đź’”Episode #27 - Good Girls Weigh Less: From 10-Year-Old Shame to 50-Year-Old Healing
In this raw, vulnerable episode I take you back to where it all began—10 years old, hiding in the back pages of my Hello Kitty journal, writing down a number on the scale that would shape the way I saw myself for decades. We explore how early and deeply diet culture takes root—often before we even understand what it is. From the shame of gym class weigh-ins to the first time you compared your body to someone else’s, this episode uncovers how body image, food, and self-worth become tangled up in the messages we absorb as “good girls” trying to do it all right. We talk about why it’s not your fault, how the all-or-nothing mindset starts young, and why it’s time to finally rewrite the narrative. Because here’s the truth I wish someone had told us sooner: your body was never the problem.
🔑 WHAT WE COVER:
- My first diet memory at 10 years old and the Hello Kitty journal that started it all
- How diet culture indoctrination happens in elementary school (and why it's not our fault)
- The connection between "good girl syndrome" and body shame
- Why gym class weigh-ins created lasting trauma for so many of us
- How the all-or-nothing mentality around food begins in childhood
- The real truth: your body was never a problem that needed fixing
👉 THIS WEEK'S ACTION STEP: Take a few quiet moments and journal about your earliest memories around body or food.
When did you first learn your body needed changing? What messages about food & body did you internalize? How have those beliefs impacted your life? Be gentle with yourself - that little girl deserved better.
