Description

If you’ve ever tried to be kind to yourself…


To silence the nagging inner critic that’s ripping you apart in the mirror, to try eat tonight’s pizza without guilt, to tell yourself it’s okay that you didn’t nail your meals this week, that it’s completely fine the scale has gone up and it STILL didn’t land…this episode is for you. 


Maybe you’ve done the affirmations, tried the “what would I say to a friend?” script, and you understand logically that beating yourself up or spiralling about this isn’t going to be helpful…and yet, that critical voice still roars back louder than ever and you end up knee deep in Ben & Jerries anyway 


In this episode, I’m unpacking WHY that happens


Why self-compassion can feel fake or fragile. I’ll show you what’s really going on beneath the guilt, the body spirals, the food noise, and why forcing yourself to “just be nicer” doesn’t work (and isn’t your fault)


If you’ve felt stuck in the cycle of trying to heal your relationship with food and your body but keep getting pulled back in by panic, restriction, or self-loathing… you’re not broken. There’s a reason. And in this episode, I’ll show you what that is and where to begin instead.


Ready to finally quiet the food noise and feel at peace in your body without feeling it’s all going to fall apart as soon as someone at work tells you how much weight they’ve lost this month? 


This is the deep, transformative work we do inside 1:1 coaching. We don’t just slap on affirmations, we untangle the beliefs, emotions, and patterns keeping you stuck, and build real, lasting trust in yourself around food and your body.


If you’re nodding along, feeling like this is exactly what I need, I have two spaces open this month - here’s the link!
