This week I share the best body image question you can ask yourself — one that changes the entire way you see your body.
We’ll unpack where the pressure to “fix” our bodies comes from, why that instinct feels so normal, and what actually happens when you stop treating your body like a project and start living in it again.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why so many women confuse acceptance with “letting themselves go”
- The cultural conditioning that makes “fixing” feel normal
- What body acceptance looks like day to day — no affirmations required
