Most women don’t wake up one day and decide they hate their body

It happens slowly. Quietly. Gradually.

In this episode, I sit down with Elissa, a 37-year-old pilot and breathwork coach, to talk about the moment she realised that body positivity wasn’t actually helping her move forward.

She shares how years of dieting, weight regain, and trying to “just accept herself” led to something far more damaging than weight gain — normalising unhappiness, shrinking confidence, and quietly disconnecting from who she really was.

This isn’t a dramatic before-and-after story.
 It’s a recognition story.

We talk about:

• How women normalise feeling uncomfortable in their own bodies
• Why body positivity can feel supportive but still leave you stuck
• The quiet ways weight struggles chip away at confidence and identity
• Why knowing what to do isn’t the same as being able to do it
• The moment Elissa realised this wasn’t something that would “fix itself”

If you’ve ever told yourself:

“Nothing is really wrong, but something doesn’t feel right,”
 This conversation will resonate deeply.
