6: Body Image, Eating Behaviors, and Rewiring Our Relationship to Food

In this episode, we dive deep into the complex relationship women have with their bodies, drawing from my personal experiences and the stories of clients I've worked with. From navigating the changes that come with pregnancy and postpartum to exploring the impact of body image on self-esteem and eating behaviors, we break down how these struggles shape our relationships with ourselves and others.We'll also distinguish between disordered eating and diagnosable eating disorders, unpacking the emotional distress they cause and offering practical strategies, like DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), to help shift the focus from body fixation to emotional and behavioral awareness.Whether you’ve experienced body dysmorphia, disordered eating, or are simply navigating the inevitable changes of a transitioning body, this episode will provide insights and support for embracing transformation, surrendering to the journey, and building a healthier relationship with your body.Remember—you don’t have to do this alone. Let’s support one another through every stage of our body's evolution. Please leave us a review or rating!
