Description

In this episode, Claire dives into one of the most misunderstood questions in the health world - is wanting to lose weight a bad thing?


With so much noise around body image, diet culture, and self-acceptance, it’s easy to feel pulled in opposite directions. Claire unpacks the nuance behind the goal of weight loss - when it comes from self-respect versus when it’s rooted in fear and why context and intention matter more than any number on the scales.

You’ll hear her take on how to find that middle ground between caring for your health and accepting your body, without slipping into extremes.

It’s an honest, compassionate chat about motivation, mindset, and what it really means to take care of yourself in a balanced way.
