Summary

I sat down with my friend and fellow psychologist Dr. Rachel and y'all, this one hit differently. We met back in the early days of the pandemic when a group of us women psychologists found each other on Instagram (shoutout to the Psych Squad 🙌), and watching her grow into the force she is today has been so fun. Dr. Rachel is the author of When Life Happens, a book that is equal parts therapy and toolkit for any woman who has ever felt stuck, in her body, her relationships, her life. We went deep on body image, self-compassion, the sneaky ways low self-worth shows up in your dating life, and why overhauling your entire routine is the worst thing you can do. This one is good, girl. Buckle up.

Inside the Episode:

You don't have to love your body every day, and that's actually the point.
Body image and your love life are more connected than you think.
Small tweaks, not overhauls and five non-negotiables that actually work
