Episode 1: Why Is It Always Our Bodies?

Welcome to Honest Conversations, a series from The 3AM Club where we pull up a chair and explore the questions many of us are thinking about, but don't always say out loud. This week, we're asking: Why is it always our bodies? When we're tired, it's our body. When we gain weight, it's our body. When our libido changes, it's our body. But when did we become so quick to assume our bodies are the problem? In this episode, I unpack everything from failed cervixes and geriatric pregnancies to bingo wings, Botox and bathing suits, and why so many of us have inherited stories about our bodies that deserve another look. This isn't about body positivity. It's about curiosity. ☕ Pull up a chair. Let's talk. In this conversation • Why women often blame their bodies first • How language quietly shapes our relationship with our bodies • The difference between caring for your body and constantly trying to improve it • What research tells us about body image in midlife • The question I'm asking myself this week Mentioned in this episode Curious about the research behind today's conversation?
