How Perfectionism Is Quietly Ruining Your Relationship With Food & Your Body w/Jennifer Delliquadri

Perfectionism isn’t just about color-coding your pantry or needing straight-A’s. It’s the quiet, relentless voice that tells you you’re never doing enough, being enough, or eating “good” enough. In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Delliquadri, a Midlife Fitness Coach who helps women rewrite the stories they’ve been telling themselves about their body, their habits, and what’s truly possible after 40. Her work blends mindset, movement, and mindful habit change to help women build strength, confidence, and ease in their bodies—without burnout or perfectionism.Together, we unpack how perfectionism hides behind control, over-functioning, and “doing everything right,” while silently fueling anxiety, food obsession, and dissatisfaction in your body. Jennifer shares her own powerful story of hitting burnout, rediscovering herself in midlife, and learning how to feel good in her body without chasing numbers, rules, or approval.You’ll learn how to:Recognize the sneaky ways perfectionism shows up in your health and eating habitsRebuild trust with your body (even when it’s changing in midlife)Stop turning every wellness goal into another “project” to perfectBring curiosity and compassion into your food and body journeyStart feeling good again—without guilt, control, or overthinkingIf you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing everything right… so why don’t I feel better?” — this conversation will be the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.Tune in if you struggle with:All-or-nothing thinking around food or exerciseFeeling disconnected from your body after years of dieting or overachievingMidlife body changes, perimenopause, or burnoutLetting go of control and trusting yourself againConnect with Jennifer:InstagramTik TokSubtle Shifts Podcast✦Get first access to my brand new free mini- course: Decode Your Food Noise → sabrinamagnan.com/decode-podcast📲 Come hang out over on instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?
