What I'd say to 10 year old me now
from Rise From Within, with Terri Pugh · host Terri Pugh
Last night, a trip to a familiar venue for my weekly pool match brought back a memory I hadn’t felt in years. I was ten years old, dancing in front of a mirror in the toilets, completely lost in joy. I wasn’t worrying about my body. I wasn’t thinking about food. I was just happy.In this episode, I share what it felt like to reconnect with that version of me, and how soon after diet culture crept in and began to change everything. This is a personal and emotional reflection on body image, childhood innocence, and the moment things started to shift.I talk about what I’d say to my younger self now, how we can all learn from those early memories, and what it means to heal the relationship with your body and reclaim the joy that was once yours.Whether you’ve lost touch with your younger self or you're working on healing your body image, this episode is a gentle reminder that she’s still in there. She always was. Maybe she just needs a little coaxing back out.Send Me Fan Mail Support the show🤩 JOIN THE RISE COMMUNITY 🤩Get my emailsFollow on InstagramConnect with me on LinkedInPersonal Coaching🍰 Buy me a cake and support the show☝️ If you love the show and want to support it, just click this link here.
