Often when years and decades of our lives have been focused on “fixing” our bodies and losing weight, there can be a layer of guilt, embarrassment, or even shame as we emerge from diet culture.

How do we move through this aspect of recovery? Self-compassion is key.

This week’s guest, Dr. Ellen Albertson, is an expert on the science of self-compassion and its application to our experience as midlife women.

We are talking about how our inner self-critic is formed, what is required to make friends with ourselves, and of course – we are taking a thorough look at the three core elements of self-compassion as it relates to our recovery from diet culture!
