Why Hearing ‘I’m Not Perfect’ Changed Everything

from Craving More: Beyond The Food · host Becky Aldi

In this episode, I’m sharing a moment that honestly shifted something in me in a way I didn’t expect.I’ve been working with a nurse through my doctor’s office for accountability and support on my health journey and during one of our calls, she said something so simple, but so powerful:“I’m not perfect either.”And I didn’t realize how much I needed to hear that… until I did.For so long, I’ve felt like I needed to do everything “right” when it comes to food, weight loss, and my health. Like I should know better. Like I should be further along.But hearing someone in the medical field openly admit that they struggle too… it took the pressure off in a way nothing else has.In this episode, I talk about:* the pressure of trying to be perfect with food* why advice alone isn’t always enough* how this moment changed the way I see myself* and why being human might actually be the key to healingIf you’ve ever felt like you’re messing this up… this episode is for you.You’re not broken. You’re human.
