Summary
Most of you know my story, but I had an unhealthy relationship with my body for almost a decade…A DECADE.
That's 10 years of hating my body and punishing my body. 10 years of lacking confidence and drowning in unhappiness and defining myself by what my body looks like. YIKES.
What I would give to go back and talk to my younger self and tell her what I know now...
What I would give to save her from the years of misery and struggle and punishment and hopelessness...
In this episode, I share the things that I wish I could tell my younger self in hopes of helping you avoid making the same mistakes my younger self made and break the beliefs that my younger self believed wholeheartedly.
And if you loved this episode, then I know you will also love…
Episode 87: Real Talk on Hating Your Body
In the hardest times, I destroyed my body for a peace of mind I never got. I punished my body, I hated my body, and I destroyed my body.
But for what? Why did I do all of that? To still feel dissatisfied? To still hate my body? To still wish it were different?
Because let's be real, that's how we still feel, no matter the progress we've made. We never have any peace of mind.
So how do we find the peace of mind we're searching for? That's exactly what I dive into in this 5-minute bonus episode of Embrace Your Real!
