You know that sinking feeling of disappointment or even disgust you get when you’re looking at yourself in the mirror and wishing you were thinner? That feeling is actually wrecking your metabolism. 

My guest today is Sarah Haas, host of the Boss Body podcast. She’s here to share her story of how, after years of being thin and fit and looking like she had it all together, she found herself as a single mother dealing not only with her young son’s type 1 diabetes, but also breast cancer–which included radiation, chemo and a double mastectomy. She had to learn that loving your body is not about working harder to look better. It’s about releasing the emotional heaviness that is figuratively and literally weighing you down.

In this deeply personal and powerful conversation, Sarah Haas, host of the Boss Body podcast, shares how the stress of being a single mom and battling breast cancer–including radiation, chemo and a double mastectomy, taught her that loving your body is not loving how you look, it’s releasing the emotional heaviness that is figuratively and literally weighing you down.

Highlights:

• Why body love often feels impossible when you’ve let yourself go—and where to start instead

• The toxic role of the inner critic (and how to change the voice in your head)

• How midlife can become a catalyst for deeper self-worth and vibrant health

• Practical steps to boost metabolism in perimenopause and beyond

Whether you’re trying to lose weight or simply ready to feel more comfortable in your own skin—this conversation will give you the mindset shifts you need to begin.
