Episode 260: No, it's not just you with Tammy Spiewak

from The Diet Diaries · host Jordana Edelstein

This week’s episode is basically a Diet Diaries talk show—two women in their mid-late 40s talking about the things you think but are afraid to say out loud. Tammy Spiewak is back (somatic experiencing practitioner, yoga teacher, life coach… also my actual friend), and we dive straight into two big topics that sound unrelated but are absolutely the same conversation:1. The insanely underestimated work of feeding your family. Not meal planning in a cute Pinterest way. The actual mental load. The “what are we eating, when am I making it, what do I need from the store, do I have time, will anyone even eat it” loop that runs in the background of your brain. 2. The way injections and “beauty maintenance” have become weirdly casual, like it’s the same thing as ordering a matcha. And what that normalization is doing to women who already feel like their bodies are a constant project. We talk about the pressure to “keep up,” the lie that fixing the outside fixes the inside, and why the discomfort you’re trying to avoid just pops up somewhere else.This is really an episode about ease. About “good enough.” About how exhausting it is to feel like you’re supposed to have it all figured out while you’re literally just trying to live your life in a body that is allowed to change.If you’ve ever had the thought, “what are people going to think?” about what’s in your shopping cart, what your stomach looks like, whether your face is aging “too much,” or whether you look like you take care of yourself the right way…this one will hit home.
