Episode 12: Pride, Body Image, and Being Yourself

In this episode of Not a Lonely Coffee Break, Maddie and Meaghan sit down with psychologist Dr. Steffanie Grossman for an honest conversation about body image, self-acceptance, and mental health—especially within LGBTQ+ communities. Together, we explore how social media, societal expectations, diet culture, and internalized beliefs shape the way we see ourselves. Dr. Grossman helps us unpack the differences between body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria, discusses common misconceptions about eating disorders, and shares insights into how compassion and support can play a critical role in healing.Whether you've struggled with body image yourself, supported a loved one through mental health challenges, or simply want to better understand the experiences of those around you, this conversation offers thoughtful perspectives, practical takeaways, and a reminder that you're not alone. Grab your favorite coffee and join us as we discuss authenticity, identity, self-worth, and what it means to build a healthier relationship with yourself.#coffee #podcast #queer #lgbtq #dfw #dallas #texas #therapy #affirmingcare #mentalhealth #eatingdisorders #bodyimage #bodypositivity Don't forget to hit that subscribe button and share it with your community!
