When Your Brain Turns Rejection Into Self-Hate

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit characteranalysispod.substack.com This week on Worth the Weight, I’m spilling the tea on a major mistake I made that seriously spiked my appetite—and let’s just say, Sam’s vet unintentionally became my weight loss guru (you’ll see). We get real about our relationship with food: why we feel guilty about wasting it, how we tie meals to comfort, connection, and even shame, and how those habits shape the way we eat today. Then it gets personal. I open up about an emotional moment with my sister that triggered my Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria and unearthed some deep-rooted feelings of being “too much” or “in the way.” We also talk about how RSD messes with our body image and makes it hard to feel at home in our own bodies—because when you’re constantly bracing for rejection, self-trust goes out the window. It’s vulnerable, it’s reflective, and yeah—it’s a little spicy. Want more Dateology Coach in your life? Become a paid subscriber at 20% off and unlock a ton of juicy, exclusive content.
