You didn't change a thing, but the scale keeps climbing, and it's all landing on your belly. In this episode, we discuss what's going on now that you're in perimenopause and menopause.Andrea Donsky, 7x published menopause researcher, author, menopause educator, and co-founder of wearemorpus.com, sits down with online health coach Aram Grigorian, who has spent 17 years helping women 35 and older change their body composition without the shame, the crash diets, or the thousand-dollar programs. This one is candid (heads up, there's some swearing), and it cuts through the noise you've been drowning in since your symptoms started.Aram and Andrea get into why fat starts settling around your middle in perimenopause, why "eat less, move more" is technically true but nearly useless without a system, and the uncomfortable truth that a lot of women are actually eating too little to lose weight. They also talk honestly about alcohol, sleep, muscle, and why the number of calories you can eat has more to do with muscle than motivation.What you'll learn:Why perimenopause belly fat happens (and why it shows up now when it didn't in your 20s)The difference between weight gain and fat gain, and how you can drop or add 15 pounds in 72 hours without gaining an ounce of fatWhy your doctor's "just eat less and exercise more" advice keeps failing youHow much alcohol is really costing you in sleep, recovery, and caloriesWhy eating too little can stall your weight loss, and how to figure out how many calories you actually needChapters:0:00   Intro: Meet Andrea and Guest Aram Grigorian2:25   Why Women Aren't Broken: Aram's Story6:30   Why Perimenopause Weight Goes to Your Belly12:00  Weight Gain vs Fat Gain: The 15-Pound Water Weight Swing17:30  "Eat Less, Move More" and Being Dismissed by Your Doctor24:30  Alcohol, Sleep, and Your Menopause Weight32:00  Why Eating Too Little Stalls Your Weight Loss39:00  Muscle, Body Fat, and How Many Calories You Really Need45:30  Body Image, Mindset, and Getting Your Partner On Board51:30  What You Can Actually Control (Plus Where to Find Aram)Learn more about Aram: https://www.instagram.com/4weeks2thebeachListen to Andrea's interview on Aram's Podcast 211.

Continuing the Summer Reset series on resetting your body, this conversation picks up where the last episode left off – not with behavior modification, but with the deeper question underneath it all: How do we actually see ourselves, and where did that story come from? Alisa Keeton has spent 35 years at the intersection of faith and wellness, and what she brings to this conversation isn't a program, it's a framework. Alisa unpacks the way chronic stress rewires the brain, the way childhood shame messages shape our relationship with food, and the way the body was designed not to be worshiped or punished. Lisa brings her own story to the conversation as well, including what God showed her about neglecting the body while serving Him with everything else. If you're looking for a spiritually grounded, scientifically informed path toward genuine freedom in the body, this episode is for you! Please note: This episode includes discussion of eating disorders and body image. It is not recommended for young or developing children. Listen in to learn more: (02:15) Alisa's vertigo wake-up call: what chronic stress does to the body (07:39) What God has been showing Lisa about years of neglecting her body for ministry (09:32) Why body, mind, and spirit can't be compartmentalized  (10:40) The neuroscience of chronic stress and what it means for your faith (26:15) The price the next generation is watching us pay (31:25) Childhood shame and food: how innocent messages become lifelong patterns (35:42) How to “break up” with what you think your body should look like (40:52) Alisa's last word: your body is for ability, not vanity Mentioned in the Episode: Book — The Body Revelation by Alisa Keeton: https://www.revelationwellness.org/TBR/ Revelation Wellness (programs + community): https://www.revelationwellness.org Invite Lisa to Speak: https://www.lisawhittle.com/speaking Connect with Alisa Keeton: Website: https://alisakeeton.com Revelation Wellness Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/revelationwellness Revelation Wellness Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/revelationwell Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.lisawhittle.comSubstack: https://letsbeclear.substack.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lisawhittleofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisawhittleFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisawhittleofficial

For years, body image concerns and eating disorders were viewed as problems that primarily affected girls and women. But boys and men also struggle with body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, and body dysmorphia -- often in ways that go unnoticed. Roberto Olivardia, PhD, a clinical psychologist at McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School, discusses muscle dysmorphia; why body image disorders in men are frequently overlooked; how social media, the "manosphere," and trends like looksmaxxing are shaping young men's ideas about appearance and masculinity; and what parents, clinicians, and others can do to help boys and men build a healthier relationship with their bodies.

So many of us have spent years believing we're too much. Too emotional. Too sensitive. Too needy. Too loud. Or maybe we've believed we need to make ourselves smaller (physically or emotionally) to finally deserve love, acceptance, and belonging. In this conversation, author and founder of Date Brazen, Lily Womble, shares how those beliefs shaped her body image, relationships, and self-worth after years of dieting and questioning whether she was enough. Together, we explore why your body isn't what stands between you and love, how the weight loss fantasy keeps us stuck, and what it looks like to stop shrinking yourself and trust that you are already enough.✅ What You'll Learn:Why believing you're "too much" can affect your body image, confidence, and relationship with foodHow internalized messages about worth shape the way we show up in our relationshipsWhat the "weight loss fantasy" is and why it keeps so many women stuckHow body neutrality can help you build a healthier relationship with yourselfPractical ways to build self-compassion and become more resilient in the face of rejectionWhy you don't have to change your body to be worthy of love, belonging, or a fulfilling life

This episode explores the body image conversations that aren't making the biggest headlines yet, but are becoming increasingly important for anyone navigating fitness, weight loss, or long term health.Instead of focusing on changing your appearance, we look at the deeper mindset shifts that support lasting confidence and self appreciation. From learning to value yourself before reaching a goal weight to understanding how your relationship with food influences the way you see yourself, this conversation is about building a healthier relationship with yourself at every stage of the journey.Topics include:• Learning to appreciate your body before reaching your goal• Why body image changes from day to day• How your relationship with food influences body image• Why your internal conversation matters• Defining progress beyond your appearanceIf you've ever felt like confidence was something that would only come after losing weight, this episode offers a different perspective. Building a forever active lifestyle starts by choosing to appreciate yourself today while continuing to move toward the future you want.Continue the conversation by joining the live streams:https://yourlevelfitness.com/stream

Looking good isn't a sin—but when does self-improvement become self-worship? In this episode, we wrestle with one of the most relevant questions Christians face today: from BBLs and Botox to braces, veneers, and hair transplants, where should followers of Jesus draw the line? Join us as we explore what Scripture says about our bodies, our motives, and whether we're pursuing God's glory or the world's approval.John 7:241 Samuel 16:7Esther 2:7Genesis 29:17 Genesis 39:6 1 Samuel 9:2 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 1 Kings 6–7 2 Chronicles 3–4 1 Corinthians 10:23–24 1 Corinthians 10:31 1 Corinthians 8:9  1 Peter 3:3–4 Proverbs 31:30 Philippians 2:3–4 Galatians 1:10

You know how you're always the one taking the photo? Never in it. You tell yourself you'll get in the pictures once you lose the weight, or fit the clothes, or just feel a little better about your body. Here's the hard truth: there's no magic day when it gets easier. If you don't do the body image work, your brain will still find something to pick apart — even after you lose weight. In this episode, I'm giving you a pep talk about getting in the photos of your own life. We'll talk about why summer makes body judgment louder, why the memory matters way more than the stomach roll, and why your body is worthy of being in the picture right now. If you've spent years hiding from the camera, this one's for you.

Is the health of the kinship caregiver your top priority? Have you found yourself getting up at 3am to manage family needs, only to realize your own body is running on empty? Do you feel guilty for putting your medical needs last while caring for kids who have experienced trauma—kids who might be battling their own struggles with body image or eating?

In this week's episode we are joined by researcher and author Dr. Terrell J.A. Winder for a powerful conversation on the intersections of identity, stigma, and self-worth among Black queer men in Los Angeles. Grounded in Terrell’s work, we explore the earliest moments many Black queer folks come to understand their bodies as “problems” and how those messages are shaped by institutions like churches, schools, healthcare systems, and everyday public life. We also talk about their new book "Shameless" and how we all can imagine new pathways toward healing and liberation. We want to hear from you!

She hasn't even gotten out of bed yet, and she's already exhausted from trying to be smart enough, pretty enough, likable enough, spiritual enough. Sound familiar? This week Coach Jamie gets real about her own battle with perfectionism as a teen — the comparison, the workouts done out of self-hatred instead of health, the constant feeling of falling short. Together we're unpacking why perfectionism is so suffocating, what it does to your mind and body, and the truth God says about you instead. Your body was never the problem, ladies. The lies you believed about it were. Time to start believing what's actually true.

In today's digital world, boys are being shaped by voices most parents never invited in. Social media, porn culture, toxic influencers, looksmaxxing, pressure to be rich, pressure to be ripped, and the constant message to “act like you don't care” are all reaching boys earlier than many adults realize. But how do we talk to our sons about these things without fear, shame, lectures, or panic? In this episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara talk with Daniel Principe, a youth advocate and educator from Australia who works with boys, schools, parents, and communities to help young men grow into courageous, respectful, empathetic adults. Daniel helps parents understand the world boys are navigating right now and why curiosity matters more than judgment. He shares why boys need more than warnings about what not to become. They need a hopeful, healthy vision of who they can become. Together, Kyle, Sara, and Daniel discuss how parents can approach difficult conversations about masculinity, body image, pornography, online pressure, consent, relationships, and character. They also explore why boys are not bad or broken, why parents should not parent from shame, and how adults can become safe, steady voices in a very noisy culture. This conversation is honest, hopeful, and deeply practical for parents raising boys in a world that often pulls them toward disconnection, insecurity, and apathy. Daniel Principe is a passionate youth advocate and educator who creates spaces that champion boys into becoming good men. He works with young people, parents, educators, and communities to challenge harmful cultural messages and invite boys toward courage, respect, empathy, and healthy relationships. Learn more about Daniel's work at DanielPrincipe.com.au. Connect with Daniel on Instagram: @lastoftheromans. Listen to The Art of Raising Humans wherever you get your podcasts. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/raising-boys-in-a-digital-world-masculinity-porn-body-image-and-character-with-daniel-principe Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

Baywatch icon Erika Eleniak joins Steve Kmetko on Still Here, Hollywood for a raw, honest conversation about fame, body image, and reinvention. Before she became one of the most recognizable faces of 90s television as lifeguard Shauni McClain on Baywatch, Erika stole hearts as the babysitter in Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. In this episode, she opens up about being personally cast by Spielberg at age 12, the real story behind that iconic E.T. kiss scene, and what it was actually like filming Baywatch's famous slow-motion beach runs in freezing January water. Erika also gets candid about her Playboy pictorial and the career obstacles it created, her decision to walk away from Baywatch after just two seasons, working alongside Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey on Under Siege, her ongoing struggle with body image, and how becoming a single mother reshaped everything she thought she knew about resilience, fame, and what she wants next. Whether you grew up watching Baywatch reruns or you're discovering Erika Eleniak's career for the first time, this episode is a candid, unfiltered look behind the red swimsuit and the Hollywood machine.

Kids are always listening. But what often gets overlooked is how much they're learning when we're not speaking at all. They're watching how we talk about our bodies. They're noticing how we react to aging, weight gain, food, exercise, and the mirror. And they're building beliefs from those observations. In this episode, I explore the powerful body image messages we model every day and why this conversation isn't just about daughters. It's about sons, too. I share my own approach with my teenage son and offer an invitation to become more intentional about what we're teaching through our actions. Because what you're practicing in front of your children today may become the story they tell themselves tomorrow. Ready to go deeper?

From comparing herself to her gymnast sisters as a kid, to squeezing into a competition swimsuit that tore at a league meet, to running away to Thailand after an abusive relationship, this is the story of a girl who used food to cope, control, and survive.This isn't a clinical conversation about eating disorders. It's a deeply personal account of disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and the slow, ongoing work of learning to respect yourself, not punish yourself.You'll discover:How childhood chaos and emotional dysregulation shaped KB's earliest relationship with foodThe difference between self-punishment and self-respect at the tableWhy restriction, bingeing, and over-exercising are all rooted in the same woundWhat it looks like to build structure around food and movement from a place of healing, not fearWhy KB is done hiding, and why she's sharing this nowThis one is for anyone who has ever looked in the mirror and not recognized the person looking back.

In a world where we're constantly comparing ourselves to edited photos, social media, and impossible beauty standards, it's easy to feel like we're always falling short.

In today's episode of Hot and Unbothered, your host Brianna Gomez opens up about body image, comparison, and learning to feel more comfortable in your own skin. Together, we'll talk about the pressure to look a certain way, why comparison steals so much of our joy, and practical mindset shifts that can help you build confidence from the inside out. If you've ever looked in the mirror and felt like you weren't enough, I hope this episode reminds you that your worth has never been determined by your appearance—and that the most beautiful version of you is the one that isn't constantly trying to be someone else.

What do you see when you look in the mirror, and what story have you been telling yourself about your body? Continuing the Summer Reset series on the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle steps into one of the most personal conversations she has ever had on the show, drawing from her own experience with disordered eating to offer a spiritual perspective on what it means to pursue genuine freedom in the body.

What if the biggest obstacle to better health isn't your diet and instead it's the relationship you've built with your body?In this conversation, I sit down with psychologist Dr. Rachel Goldman to unpack why so many women struggle with body image, emotional eating, food noise, and self-worth, especially during midlife.We explore why lasting health isn't built through shame or punishment. It's built through curiosity, compassion, and learning to work with your body instead of constantly fighting against it.We also discuss the psychology behind food noise, body neutrality, GLP-1 medications, menopause, emotional eating, and why your relationship with yourself influences every health decision you make.If you've ever felt like your body has betrayed you, this episode offers a different perspective.In this episode, you'll learn:Why body image goes far beyond what you see in the mirrorThe difference between body positivity and body neutralityWhy food noise develops and how to begin quieting it naturallyHow emotional eating becomes a learned coping strategyWhy your self-worth should never depend on the number on the scaleHow menopause changes the emotional relationship women have with their bodiesWhy slowing down at meals changes more than digestionResources MentionedWhen Life HappensThe Body Keeps the ScoreCognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)The Reset AcademyNervous System Reset GuideMore on Dr. Rachel GoldmanDr. Rachel Goldman is a licensed psychologist, clinical assistant professor, media health expert, and nationally recognized speaker specializing in health behavior change, obesity, eating behaviors, stress management, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Body image isn't just about what you see in the mirror. It's about the relationship you've built with yourself over years, sometimes decades.In this first monthly Body Image Trends Report, I'm breaking down the biggest conversations happening right now around body image, weight loss, confidence, and self perception. These aren't random topics. They're based on what people are actively searching for and struggling with today.In this episode, we cover:• Why body image doesn't automatically improve after losing weight• The difference between body image struggles and body dysmorphia• Why you may still see the old version of yourself• How social media reinforces comparison and insecurity• Why criticizing yourself has become automatic, and how to begin changing that patternThis series is designed to help you cut through the noise, understand why these conversations matter, and build a healthier relationship with yourself from the inside/out.Read the latest Body Image Trend Reportshttps://yourlevelfitness.com/body-image/body-image-trends-july-2026

I share how my fitness journey shifted from chasing the perfect physique to learning to honor the body God gave me. We talk about body image, comparison, chronic pain, social media, modesty, and why true confidence isn't found in how you look but in who you are in Christ. If you've ever struggled to balance health with identity, I hope this episode reminds you that your worth was never meant to be measured by your body.Connect with me on:

Jamie Lynn Sigler grew up in front of the world as Meadow Soprano, one of television's most iconic daughters. But while she was coming of age on screen, she was privately carrying a secret that almost nobody knew: at age 20, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. For 14 years, she hid her diagnosis from Hollywood, her coworkers, and her friends out of fear and shame. Now, Jamie sits down with Hoda Kotb to pull back the curtain on a life no longer built on perfection, but on radical honesty. She opens up about her deeply moving memoir, And So It Is, which begins with a terrifying medical crisis involving her young son, Beau. Jamie shares how she broke through the paralyzing loop of childhood trauma through EMDR therapy, what it was like to finally confide in her late co star James Gandolfini, and how she found peace by letting go of the need to pretend she was always fine.

What comes to mind when you hear terms like body positivity or body appreciation?For many people, social media has turned these conversations into extremes. You're often told that you either have to completely love your body exactly as it is or focus entirely on changing it. The reality is that body image is rarely an either/or situation. More often than not, it's both.In this episode of Body Image Shift, I share my perspective on the relationship between body positivity, body appreciation, and self acceptance. I explain why appreciating your body for what it does today can coexist with goals you may have for your health, fitness, or weight management.Your body is carrying you through life right now. It's helping you move, think, experience, adapt, and pursue the goals that matter to you. That alone deserves recognition and appreciation.In this episode, I discuss:• What body positivity means from an inside/out perspective• Why body appreciation can be the foundation for a healthier body image• The difference between social media narratives and real life experiences• How appreciating your body can make it easier to like and love yourself• Why self acceptance and personal growth can exist at the same time• The importance of appreciating both what and who you see in the mirrorOne of the biggest mindset shifts you can make is realizing that you don't have to wait until you reach a specific weight, clothing size, or fitness goal to start appreciating yourself. That work can begin today, and it's a practice you'll continue throughout every stage of your forever active lifestyle.If you'd like to continue the conversation around body appreciation, body positivity, and body image, sign up for the live streams at yourlevelfitness.com/stream.

The fitness and weight management space has never had more information available, but that doesn't necessarily make it easier to know what actually matters.In this episode, I share an important update about the direction I'm taking with my topic-based podcasts and why I believe this new approach will create more valuable, practical, and sustainable conversations.Beginning this month, I'll be publishing monthly Weight Management, GLP-1, Food Noise, and Body Image trends reports that explore what people are actually searching for, the questions they're asking, the topics that deserve more attention, and the conversations that are beginning to shape the future of health and fitness. Rather than simply reporting the trends, I'll be breaking each report into podcast episodes where I can expand on the ideas, share my perspective, and connect everything back to building a forever active lifestyle.In this episode, I talk about:• Why I'm restructuring my fitness content• How the monthly trends reports will work• Why weight management has become a more meaningful conversation than simply chasing weight loss• The role GLP-1s, food noise, and body image play in today's health conversations• How these reports will become the foundation for future podcast episodes• Why I believe cutting through the noise is more valuable than creating more noise• How the Daryl Perry Podcast will continue serving as the hub for interviews, Almost Daily episodes, and topic-based conversationsMy goal has always been to help you build a healthier relationship with yourself and create a lifestyle you can actually sustain. These monthly reports and companion podcast episodes are designed to do exactly that by slowing down the conversation, focusing on what matters most, and helping you make sense of an overwhelming amount of information.This is an exciting next step, and I appreciate you being part of it. Whether you've been listening for years or you're just finding the podcast, I'm looking forward to continuing these conversations and exploring the topics that matter most, one discussion at a time.

No guest this week. Just Jenni and Daniel, two married co-hosts, two therapists, and two people who are very comfortable talking about things most people avoid entirely. The episode starts where it always does for this podcast: with honesty. A scheduling miscommunication left them without a guest, and instead of papering over it, they open with a real conversation about what rejection actually does to a person. The small sting of a scheduling glitch, scaled up to the much deeper sting of being turned down by the person you love. Because rejection, as Jenni explains, is the opposite of belonging. And belonging, at the neurological level, is survival. From there, they turn to listener questions. The first comes from a partner who isn't bothered by her person's small penis, but is bothered by the fact that they're working through it in therapy without including her in the conversation. Jenni and Daniel explore body confidence, creative solutions, the power of open-handed poker in a relationship, and why men with smaller penises are often significantly better lovers than men who rely on size to carry the experience. The second question arrives from a recently divorced woman re-entering the dating scene, asking whether men are biologically capable of casual sex or whether that's cultural conditioning. The answer, as both Jenni and Daniel agree, is both, and the reasoning is genuinely illuminating. Daniel brings in evolutionary psychology, reproductive biology, and a quietly stunning fact about the male body's response at the moment of death that explains just how deeply the drive to reproduce is wired. Jenni brings in the bio-psychosocial frame- the cultural narratives that reward sexual conquest, the way casual sex can paradoxically produce performance anxiety, and the attachment lens. Which leads to the final thread of the episode: a full breakdown of all four attachment styles: secure, anxious, avoidant, and ambivalent. And how each one shapes the capacity for casual sex, the experience of rejection, and the push-pull dynamics that make relationships so complicated and so human. This is one of those episodes that covers more ground in thirty-five minutes than most podcasts manage in two hours.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When most people think about body image, they treat it like something they'll work on after they lose the weight. The problem is that body image doesn't magically improve when the scale changes. If you don't learn how to appreciate yourself during the journey, there's a good chance you'll struggle with the same thoughts and feelings once you reach your goal.In this episode of Body Image Shift, I talk about why improving the relationship you have with yourself needs to become part of your forever active lifestyle. Just like meal planning, exercise, and other healthy habits, body image work deserves a place in your daily routine.I also explain why maintenance isn't about taking your foot off the gas. The habits that help you build a healthier life need to be sustainable enough that you're willing to continue them long after the weight loss phase is over. That includes the way you speak to yourself and the way you choose to see yourself in the mirror.In this episode, I discuss:• Why body image work should begin before you reach your goal weight• How the weight loss industry often trains people to focus on flaws• The importance of intentionally choosing how you want to see yourself• The Body Noise Challenge and how a simple one-minute daily practice can create lasting change• Why positive body image isn't about eliminating negative thoughts completely• How repetition helps build a stronger self-image over timeYour body will change throughout your life. Learning to appreciate yourself at every stage creates a foundation that can support you through weight loss, maintenance, and everything that comes after.If you'd like to continue the conversation around body image, sign up for the live streams at yourlevelfitness.com/stream.

It is difficult to talk about food without talking about body image. The two are intertwined. For many of you, it was your body's appearance that started the dieting, restricting, and binge eating. It was the internalized messages from a culture that wants to control women's bodies that shaped how you interacted with food. And for many, you may create a stabilizing relationship with food and the body image worries may continue because food was helping to cover up the lack of safety to live in your body. So today, we're going to read some body image Reddit Stories to support you in how you may somatically navigate body image concerns when they arise. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: How nervous system states shape your perception of your bodyBody image concerns can be an attempt at trauma resolution Explorations on the somatic meaning of body image struggles Grief over previous expressions of the body The sensory integration that needs to occur to experience the body differentlyWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

My No.1 bestselling book, FULL: THE EMPTINESS OF OVEREATING, is available here. Many people don't just want to lose weight. They unknowingly use their weight, shape and appearance as a measure of their worth, confidence and success. A bad photo, a fluctuation on the scale or a moment of self-consciousness can have an enormous impact on mood and behaviour. We'll discuss how to reduce the importance of weight and shape without pretending appearance doesn't matter. Topics include body checking, tying self-worth to appearance, the subconcious fears beneath weight gain, and why constantly monitoring your body keeps it at the centre of your life.

Why do you still see the old you in the mirror?For many people, changing their body doesn't automatically change how they see themselves. Even after losing weight, improving fitness, or making significant lifestyle changes, the old thoughts, emotions, and self-perceptions often remain.In this episode of Body Image Shift, we explore why that happens and how learning to appreciate, accept, and love yourself at every stage of life can help close the gap between physical change and self-perception. We discuss the emotional nature of body image, why the "old version" of you often feels so present, and a simple mirror exercise that can help you begin creating a healthier relationship with yourself.This conversation is a reminder that body image isn't just about what you see. It's about how you feel about the person looking back at you.Topics Covered:• Why you still see the old you in the mirror• The connection between body image and self-perception• Why weight loss doesn't automatically change self-image• Learning to appreciate every version of yourself• The emotional side of body image work• Building self-compassion and self-acceptance• A practical mirror exercise to improve body image• Redirecting old thought patterns• Why kindness matters during the process• Creating a healthier relationship with yourselfContinue The ConversationIf you'd like to continue the conversation around shifting your body image, join the live streams at:yourlevelfitness.com/streamThe live streams provide an opportunity to explore body image, self-confidence, self-worth, weight loss, and the inside/out approach to building a forever active lifestyle.Thank you for listening to Body Image Shift.The goal isn't to erase who you used to be.

Acne, psoriasis, and chronic skin issues can quietly reshape a person's confidence, relationships, and identity. Sandra reflects on the patients who changed her, the failures that shaped her career, and her own complicated relationship with aging in an industry that demands perfection.We Talk About:The real story behind her stroke and the critical 4-hour window that could save your lifeWhy dermatology is "just as much psychiatry as it is dermatology"The honest truth about aging, cosmetic procedures, and pushing back against the pressure to look youngerWhat microneedling, exosomes, and peptides actually do to your skinThe one toxic-free habit Dr. Lee says anyone can start today, and it costs nothinThis conversation is raw, honest, and deeply human.If it moves you, share it with a woman in your life who needs to hear it.

What is ghost fat?If you've lost weight but still see the same person when you look in the mirror, you're not alone. Many people in weight loss communities describe a phenomenon often called "ghost fat," the experience of changing your body while still feeling connected to an earlier version of yourself.In this episode of Body Image Shift, we unpack why this happens, why rapid weight loss can sometimes make the experience even more noticeable, and why changing your physical appearance doesn't automatically change the relationship you have with yourself. We explore the emotional side of body image, the limitations of weight loss as a solution to self-perception, and why learning to appreciate and love yourself at every stage of life may be one of the most important pieces of long-term change.This conversation also dives into confidence, self-worth, identity, therapy, GLP-1 medications, and the gap that often exists between physical results and emotional healing. The goal isn't simply to change how you look. The goal is to change how you see yourself.Topics Covered:• What ghost fat actually means• Why many people still see the "old version" of themselves• Body image versus physical appearance• The emotional side of weight loss• Why rapid weight loss can amplify self-perception challenges• Ghost fat and GLP-1 medications• The difference between changing your body and changing your self-image• Why confidence doesn't automatically come with weight loss• Learning to appreciate yourself at every stage• The role of therapy and emotional support• Building a healthier relationship with yourself• Creating an alternative way of seeing yourselfContinue The ConversationIf you'd like to continue the conversation around shifting your body image, join the live streams at:yourlevelfitness.com/streamThe live streams provide an opportunity to explore body image, self-confidence, self-worth, weight loss, GLP-1 experiences, and the inside/out approach to building a forever active lifestyle.Thank you for listening to Body Image Shift.Weight loss can change your body.

Maternal influence significantly shapes body image and eating habits. Emotional eating is intertwined with self-perception and family dynamics. Breaking negative cycles can lead to healthier family relationships. Empowerment comes from recognizing the ability to change one's story. Weight loss is less about the numbers and more about emotional health. Self-compassion and self-trust are essential for long-term change. Mothers have the most significant influence on their daughters' body image. The way we eat reflects our beliefs about ourselves and our worth. Transformation requires commitment and support from others. Healing wounds requires self-reliance and looking inward. Liberation comes from stopping the blame game. Maternal influence significantly shapes a daughter's body image. Self-compassion is crucial for mental health and healing. Radical responsibility is essential for personal growth. The relationship with one's body affects future generations. Negative self-talk can perpetuate cycles of trauma. Women often criticize each other, reflecting their own insecurities. Changing beliefs is key to transforming one's life.

Whenever I talk about intuitive eating, women tell me the same thing: "I love the idea, but I don't trust myself around food." And when I talk to dietitians who help people shift from a weight-centric to weight-neutral or inclusive practice, they find it hard to communicate the idea of self-trust. If you can relate to either of these,  this conversation is exactly what you need!This week I'm joined by Fiona Sutherland, an accredited practicing dietitian, author, and mentor from Melbourne, and one of the most thoughtful  and experienced voices in the world of nutrition. Together we explore why self-trust feels so hard in midlife, especially when your body, hunger, and energy seem to be changing overnight.Fiona and I unpack how years of dieting can chip away at your confidence, why outsourcing your food decisions to a plan feels safer (and what it costs you), and what gently rebuilding trust actually looks like, starting with curiosity instead of control. We also talk about why reaching for support is a sign of courage, and the surprising ingredient Fiona believes most of us are missing in midlife.If you've ever wondered whether you can trust yourself again, I think you'll leave this one feeling a little more hopeful.

What if one of the biggest obstacles to improving your body image isn't what you see in the mirror today, but how you view yourself from the past?In this episode of Body Image Shift, we explore why so many people spend years trying to run from previous versions of themselves and why that approach often leaves them feeling stuck, even after significant physical changes.From weight loss and fitness transformations to personal growth and life experience, many of us are taught to focus entirely on the future. But when it comes to body image, the past often continues to shape how we see ourselves, our worth, and our value. The challenge isn't simply changing your appearance. The challenge is learning how to appreciate yourself at every stage of your journey.We discuss the unrealistic standards that have been passed down through generations, why chasing approval rarely creates lasting self-acceptance, and how self-appreciation requires both logical understanding and emotional work. We also explore why previous versions of yourself deserve compassion, why trying to escape your past often reinforces negative body image, and how your perception of yourself can completely change the meaning behind the same life experiences.Topics Covered:• Why body image is about more than appearance• The connection between self-worth and self-perception• How societal standards shape body image• Why many people try to run from their past selves• Appreciating previous versions of yourself• The emotional side of body image work• Self-compassion and personal growth• Why changing your body doesn't automatically change how you see yourself• Reframing your relationship with the person in the mirror• Learning to appreciate yourself at every stage of lifeContinue the Body Image ConversationYLF Livestreams:https://yourlevelfitness.com/streamIf you're ready to continue exploring body image, self-appreciation, confidence, and the inside/out approach to personal growth, join us for the YLF Livestreams where we dive deeper into these conversations and work through them together.Thank you for listening to Body Image Shift.The goal isn't to become a completely different person. The goal is to appreciate the person you've always been, recognize how you've evolved, and learn to see every version of yourself with greater compassion, understanding, and appreciation.

Social media can be a surprisingly powerful tool when it comes to changing how you think about your body. In this Coaching Hotline episode, I answer a listener question about using intentional visual exposure on social media to improve body image. I explain why deliberately engaging with images that reflect diverse and relatable bodies can help retrain your brain's perceptions, and why it is important to practice these thoughts in a variety of situations, not just while scrolling social media .Then, I tackle what happens when a partner shuts down during an argument. You'll hear why labeling your partner as sulking or ignoring amplifies your reaction, and why taking responsibility for your feelings is the key to staying grounded and connected. This episode shows how to separate thoughts from circumstances so you can feel less desperate, more in control, and more present in your relationships and your own mind.Submit your own question here and it might get answered on a future episode: unfuckyourbrain.com/coachinghotlineGet full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/501Follow along on Instagram: instagram.com/karaloewentheil/Mentioned in this episode:Enroll now in Coach-Curious Prep School In this five-day incubator, you'll learn whether coaching is the right career for you, what you need to do to prepare for a successful coaching career, and the next steps to take to begin – or expand – your life as a coach.
