In this episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal. I open up about my ongoing journey with body image, disordered eating patterns, and the pressure to meet impossible beauty standards.

From postpartum changes to memories that shaped how I see myself, I’m unpacking the thoughts I’ve carried for years and the new awareness that’s beginning to shift things. This isn’t about perfection.

It’s about truth, healing, and learning to see my body for what it’s done, not just how it looks.

If you’ve ever struggled with your reflection or your relationship with food, I want you to know - you’re not alone.

Here are the Highlights:

(06:15) America’s celebration of hard work vs women’s bodies

(12:19) My compulsive thoughts when eating

(13:27) Competing in amateur bodybuilding

(23:56) The conditioning I experienced growing up

(27:39) Sexual harassment in the corporate world

(30:46) Awareness of outside opinions and self-love
