In this episode, we’re unpacking what body neutrality really means — especially through a queer lens. Instead of forcing body love or getting stuck in body hate, we’re exploring the middle ground: seeing your body as something that deserves care and respect, no matter how you feel about it on any given day.

We’ll talk about how diet culture makes neutrality nearly impossible, how queer folks can begin to reclaim it, and why neutrality isn’t apathy — it’s freedom. You’ll also get some real-world ways to start practicing neutrality in your own life.

Whether you’re struggling with body image, learning to unlearn old beliefs, or just curious about finding more peace in your skin — this one’s for you.

✨ Tarot pull of the week: Death Reversed

✨ Journal prompts:

1. How do I usually talk to myself about my body — and what tone does that voice use?


2. In what ways have I tried to “fit in” with body norms, even within queer spaces?


3. Where in my life am I resisting change — and what small step could I take toward loosening my grip?
