Episode Synopsis


In this episode, I invite you to explore a radical new approach to self-worth and body image: body neutrality. Instead of chasing smaller numbers or forcing self-love, I walk you through the middle ground. You’ll learn why ditching the scale might be the most freeing move you can make, and how to start measuring your progress through non-scale victories (NSVs) that actually reflect your growth, healing, and quality of life.This episode gives you the tools — and the permission — to let go of shame and start showing up with respect and compassion.What We Talk About:Why the scale isn’t a reliable (or kind) measure of healthWhat body neutrality is (and how it differs from body positivity)Why forcing body love can backfire — and what to try insteadWhat real progress looks like through non-scale victories (NSVs)How to unhook your self-worth from your weight and appearanceReframing “fitness goals” in a body-neutral wayCommon pushbacks to body neutrality — and how to respond to themThe long-term benefits of shifting to a weight-neutral health approachHow to build a more sustainable and joyful relationship with food, movement, and your bodyYour Challenge This Week:Notice one non-scale victory each day. Write it down. Big or small — they all count. Whether it’s enjoying food without guilt, moving your body for joy, or skipping the scale altogether — these moments build real, lasting change.✨ Ready to work with me?
