Send us Fan MailApril 7, 2026Love You MoreEp 80:   Spring Cleaning Your Thoughts About Your Body Episode summary:This week, Jen briefly reflects on the busyness of spring before turning to the heart of the episode: body image. As routines shift and layers come off, she explores how this season can bring up more comparison and self-judgment, offering a timely invitation to notice what’s coming up internally.Through the lens of “spring cleaning” our thoughts, Jen reminds us that body image struggles are shaped by lifelong conditioning not personal failure. She gently unpacks the difference between our direct experience and the thoughts we attach to it, while also touching on clothing, social media, and the shift toward valuing body function over appearance. The conversation encourages a more compassionate, aware relationship with our bodies, one rooted in curiosity rather than criticism.Favorite Quotes:“We don’t have control over the thoughts that come in.”  “Is the suffering actually coming from reality, or is it coming from the thoughts that are in my mind?”  “My body is functioning well. My body is comfortable. I’m safe.”  “Sometimes spending too much time on social media creates more insecurity around our own knowing.”Resources Jen's InstagramJen's SubstackMcDaniel Nutrition Therapy InstagramMcDaniel Nutrition Therapy WebsitePast Podcast Episodes2026 Silent Retreat Mindful Closet WebsiteUnflattering- Dacy’s SubstackDacy’s InstagramErin Grumley, LPC WebsiteSupport the show
