Episode Synopsis

In today's world of self awareness and real bodies being a major focus and topic of conversation, it's baffling that we are still struggling to speak kindly to our bodies. The impact that it has not only on our own mental health but the implied impact to those around us without the acknowledgment of trauma is truly something we need to turn our focus towards.

the way you speak to yourself matters

stopping or all together avoiding the shame spiral
holding ourselves accountable
and forgiving when we're just plain human
the way you speak about yourself out loud and who is listening
^ this impacts your daughters, co workers, friends, etc
no body shaming rule for my team


you don't get to comment on peoples body, and what people think of you is none of your business

Today, we're getting vulnerable as Meg shares a glimpse into her background and disordered eating, just a reminder that just because it's not a traditional ED doesn't mean it's not there. Why seeking help & understanding rather than feeling shame is so important.

What if...
you chose to love your body & take care of it because it's your ONE body
what if you decided to speak kindly to yourself even if you don't love where you're at in this exact moment
and how could this not only change your life but the trajectory for the life of your children & future generations

Let's talk about it.
in our house we talk about food in colors and as energy source
treating ourselves and finding balance without shame and indulgence


why you should avoid band wagon dieting

Today, we're challenging you to stop comparing & start sharing, hopeful to inspire women to talk about their journeys and find a way to connect with friends in a positive, uplifting way vs.attacking ourselves and finding ways to feed into negativity. I leave you with the most pivotal part of my journey, that allowed me to get out of a place of self deprivation & hating my body. My therapist asked me to look in the mirror & speak to myself as though i was speaking to my future daughter, out loud the way I would say to her how I felt about her body, with all of its flaws & imperfections, because as humans we have all of the above. Even though I didn't have any children yet, this changed everything. I would never, under any circumstances speak to my unborn (at that time) child in the way I had been speaking to myself.
