In this episode, Elizabeth Mintun is joined by Carley Weissert, a self-love and body image coach for women, who helps her clients create peace with their bodies, find freedom with food, and dismantle the rules and beliefs that keep them stuck in cycles of shame, perfectionism, and restriction.Carley shares her own transformational journey, from years of disordered eating and self-criticism to hitting her rock bottom. Through candid storytelling, she walks us through the moment she got “sick of herself” and how working with a coach opened the door to body peace and self-trust. Carley’s honesty, warmth, and lived experience make this episode a must-listen for anyone who’s ever struggled with their relationship to food, their body, or the internalized need to be "perfect."Key TakeawaysInner-child and - especially - inner teen work can uncover hidden beliefs that could be significantly contributing to body image issues. Self-compassion, including common humanity (the idea that we’re not alone) is a key component of healing body image struggles. Shame keeps us silent, and bringing our shame into the light is one of the first steps to healing. 🎧 Quotable Moments “Your body has always been your friend.
