In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the toxic relationship I once had with my own body—masked as “health.” What looked like discipline and dedication was actually self-rejection, shaped by cultural expectations, internalized shame, and a fixation on being thin over being well. 🌿

I share how chasing perfection and attaching my worth to a number on the scale led to physical imbalance, emotional depletion, and a complete disconnect from my body. But now, in my 50s, I see clearly: true health has nothing to do with aesthetics—and everything to do with how we treat ourselves when no one is watching.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt not enough. Anyone who’s been praised for their willpower while silently suffering. And anyone ready to trade self-punishment for self-respect.

You are not broken. You don’t need fixing. You need freedom—and a new definition of health that includes peace, power, and presence. ✨
