Podcasts about body confidence

Ever felt powerless in front of the pantry, like you're watching someone else control the snacks? That creeping shame after a binge is rough. In this candid talk, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Amber Abila—a woman who's been there, who's been through it, and who found herself on the other side.Amber opens up about her binge-eating journey, peeling back the layers to reveal how dieting, stress, and outdated habits rewired her brain into a food-fueled panic button. She takes us into the real work she did to reset her relationship with food—mindset shifts, self-talk work, mindful bites, and small victories that don't come in bite-sized packaging.Together, they break it down: the difference between real hunger and emotional hunger, the power of speaking kindly to yourself, and how rewriting your food story means seeing your body as an ally—not an adversary. This isn't about perfection or sealing off your feelings. It's about curiosity, reclaiming trust in your body, and learning that food doesn't have to be the boss of you.Let this episode be the reminder that recovery is possible—even if it feels messy, slow, and confusing. You're allowed to rewrite your story.Tune in if you've ever felt caught in the binge cycle.

This week I'm delighted to be joined by Cat LaCohie and we're talking everything body confidence.We explore the reality of societal pressures that many women face after pregnancy, and how Cat uses burlesque as a medium to reconnect women with their bodies and embrace self-love. But this episode is not just about burlesque. It's about the journey of self-discovery, and the transformative power of reclaiming one's identity. Cat shares how embodying powerful characters through burlesque helped her reclaim her strength during moments of self-doubt. She challenges the notion of seeking constant approval from others, emphasizing the value of self-worth and the joy of being in the company of the right people. As our conversation draws to a close, Cat sheds light on the importance of being vocal about who you are, and how it helps filter out those who don't belong in your life.She shares her inspiring journey, from building her own website to teaching burlesque classes, and how she learned to say 'I'm amazing and you're welcome' instead of apologizing for her actions.

Medea Lorenzen hat mich vom ersten Moment an beeindruckt – nicht nur durch ihre unglaubliche Körperspannung (hallo, Calisthenics auf dem Treppengeländer in Bali!), sondern vor allem durch ihre Ausstrahlung, Klarheit und Lebensfreude.

In der Fortsetzung der Folge zu Körperakzeptanz in der Gewichtszunahme geht es noch einmal so richtig in die Tiefe - und in Body Empowerment! Den "Recovered Körper" zu akzeptieren bedeutet auch, sich auch von gesellschaftlichen Körperidealen und tief sitzenden Mustern zu lösen wie der Skinny Identity oder "Nur wenn ich dünner bin, bin ich gut genug"-Glaubenssätzen. Es bedeutet, in die Tiefe zu gehen und gleichzeitig einen liebevollen Umgang mit dem eigenen Körper zu üben.Diese Reise bin ich auch gegangen und ganz ehrlich? Es war ein jahrelanger Kampf, der so viel mehr beinhaltet hat, als zuzunehmen und sich "einfach für Akzeptanz und Selbstliebe zu entscheiden". Was mir über die Jahre auf dem Weg geholfen habe, habe ich für dich in 5 Tipps zusammengefasst. In dieser Folge teile ich mit dir den letzten davon und hoffe, dass sie auch dir dabei helfen, mehr Frieden mit deinem Körper in allen seinen Phasen und Formen zu schließen.

As you probably already know, in my private practice as a dietitian, I work with clients who've successfully lost fast and achieved their “dream body”…   …but it's come at the expense of their mental and physical health.   They've dieted their way to constant food thoughts, missing periods, digestive issues and urges to binge eat.   They get to a point where they desire food freedom - to feel at peace and free around food.   When they find my content telling them that in order to get there they have to let go of control over their weight and give themselves full permission to eat…they think differently.   Won't this mean I'm just going to gain a bunch of weight and hate my body again?   They're afraid they'll have to trade body confidence for food freedom.   In this episode I tell you the cold hard truth about this topic.   The highlights: The answer is yes - you will trade these things, at least at first. But if you feel bad about your body when you've gotten objectively healthier (stopped binge eating, got your period, feel free around food) - it's a problem with your mind, not your body. This “mind virus” comes from a society that treats thinner women better. AND, your healthiest body might not be the body that you or others deem the most attractive. You get to decide which is more of a priority for you (health or appearance) - and then do the mental healing necessary to find peace and confidence at that place How you look is part of confidence - and it is 100% possible to change your appearance in a way that makes you feel more confident WITHOUT sacrificing your health But if you're going about this from a place of low self worth - it's not possible. You will always compare yourself to everyone, feel anxious and obsessed with your physique or never feel like you're good enough. Confidence is a multi-faceted feeling - you will never feel confident if you are only satisfied with perfection and “being the best”. Derive confidence from other areas, not just how your body looks What your body can do The type of person you are Your intellect and knowledge Learning a new skill Becoming a master or really good at something When your confidence is lacking in one area, you can rest your sense of self on the other things you spend your time and energy on. The issue with disordered eating is we start to only spend our time on food, fitness and physique Confidence comes from self-acceptance - accepting and owning your “flaws”, your shortcomings, as well as your strengths…NOT running from/obsessively fixing your “flaws”, balancing on this thin tightrope of confidence that you can get flicked off of at any moment if you see a girl who looks better than you or you gain 5 lbs.   Enjoy and as always - I'd love to hear your comments/questions/feedback!   Contact me: DM me on Instagram @elenakunickird      Email me at elena@elenakunicki.com   ✨ Learn more about my group program + fill out an application: bit.ly/normaleater ✨ Watch my free class - How I Stopped Binge Eating: bit.ly/howIstoppedbingeeating ✨ Free meal guide: bit.ly/bprmealplan ✨ Free workbook: bit.ly/ekfreeguide

Are six-pack abs truly the ultimate fitness goal, or is there more to the story? In this episode of the Embrace Your Real podcast, I dive into our long-standing obsession with chiseled abs and encourage a shift towards something far more valuable—functional core strength. For years, like many, I thought those cover-model abs were the pinnacle of fitness success, but the real powerhouse lies in the core's intricate muscles—obliques, pelvic floor, and lower back—working together to stabilize and protect.   Rather than chasing aesthetics, embracing core strength builds a central support system that boosts stability, confidence, and control in everyday life. Tune in to discover five reasons why redefining core strength can transform your fitness journey.   I also discuss:   (01:38) Figureoutable Postpartum Challenges (04:08) Debunking the Benefits of Abs   and more!   If you want more from me, be sure to check out...   Follow me on Instagram: @juliealedbetter | @embraceyourreal | @movementwithjulie Movement With Julie | App: https://sale.movementwithjulie.com/ Macro Counting Made Simple Online Academy: https://www.macrocountingmadesimple.com/ Website: www.juliealedbetter.com Get my eBook: FREE Macro Counting Ebook Amazon Storefront: Julie Ledbetter's Amazon Page
