from Speak, Mother | Motherhood Burnout Recovery & Identity Reclamation
Send Shannon A NoteWhat if the way we talk about each other's bodies is actually making things worse? What if diet culture's grip on women is stronger than we realized? And what if the solution isn't another set of food rules, but joy?This week, I'm joined by registered dietitian Hannah Koschak for a deep dive into the gluttony chapter of On Our Best Behavior. We explore why women struggle with food and body image, how weight stigma shows up in everyday compliments, and what it really takes to build a healthy relationship with eating.Hannah brings years of clinical experience and a passion for fighting diet culture. This conversation goes beyond food rules to examine the subconscious patterns, the all-or-nothing mentality, and the joy deficit that keeps so many women stuck in cycles of shame and restriction.If you've ever felt guilty about food, struggled with body image, or wondered how to model something healthier for your kids, this episode is for you.Connect with Hannah:Hannah's Previous Episode: Beyond the Scale: Ditching Diet Culture and Finding Self-WorthCommunity: Wholesome CollectiveInstagram @WholesomeEndeavorsYouTube Series: Healthy Table TalksMentioned in this episode:On Our Best Behavior by Elise LoehnenThis episode is part of a multi-part exploration inspired by the work of On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen.
