In this groundbreaking episode of Transform Your Life, Teresa and Tonya sit down with licensed clinical psychologist and best-selling author Dr. Sherrie Campbell to explore the connection between childhood trauma, narcissistic parents, and disordered eating. Together, they unpack the emotional wounds that many women carry into adulthood—and how those wounds manifest through food addiction, body image struggles, and toxic loyalty to family systems that never truly served them.Dr. Sherrie shares her personal experience with anorexia, food noise, and what she calls the “emotional math” so many people use to justify shame and self-sabotage. Teresa and Tonya reflect on their own weight loss journeys, revealing the guilt, grief, and backlash they faced when choosing to heal—especially when that healing meant creating boundaries or cutting ties with family members.This isn't just a conversation about food or fat—it's a radical, soul-deep discussion about reclaiming your life, your voice, and your body.

In this special episode, I'm stepping outside our usual conversation about confidence and body image to share something deeply personal: my daughter just published her first children's book!And while this episode is about my daughter's story, it's also about us.If you grew up in a bigger body, if you never saw yourself in media, if you spent years believing you had to shrink to be worthy, you're going to feel this. Because the need to be seen and accepted doesn't go away when we grow up.Rosie Sparkle Fin: The Mermaid Who Found Her Sparkle With Type 1 Diabetes was born out of her real-life T1D diagnosis and her brave journey navigating a whole new world. This book isn't just a story about a magical mermaid. It's about what happens when a child finally sees themselves represented in the pages of a book, and how healing that can be.Get your copy of Rosie Sparkle Fin on Amazon!Support the show

Send us a textCan you track macros without losing your mind or cutting out the foods you love? In this powerful episode of The StrongHer Way, I sit down with Neha Nautiyal—a former chemistry teacher turned macro coach for South Asian moms—who shares how she transformed her relationship with food, body image, and fitness while raising two daughters and honoring her vegetarian diet.Neha opens up about the cultural pressure she felt growing up in a South Asian household, the body shaming that started early, and the years of dieting, cardio, and restriction that led nowhere. The turning point? Discovering macro coaching as a path to true food freedom—and learning how to make Indian food work for her goals, not against them. What We CoverWhy macro tracking doesn't have to feel obsessive or restrictiveHow Neha made macro coaching work with her vegetarian diet and South Asian cultureBreaking generational patterns around food, body image, and nutrition educationHow to include your kids in conversations about healthy eating (without shame or fear)Simple, protein-packed vegetarian meal swaps that actually taste goodThe key mindset shift that made macro tracking sustainableHow intuitive eating and macro tracking can coexistWhy perfectionism is ruining your results—and what to do insteadBuilding a strong relationship with food, your body, and your family at the same time Notable Quotes“Tracking macros isn't about restriction. It's just information. Just like GPS—it helps you get where you want to go.” — Neha Nautiyal“Your culture, your food, and your fitness goals don't have to be in conflict. You just need a strategy that works with all three.” — Alisha Carlson

Max Browne is back on Real Pod for a much-needed men's mental health convo. Vic and her husband, Max, unpack why so many men feel pressure to be stoic, the generational messages they've absorbed (like “man up”), and why anger is often the only emotion society allows them to show. Max shares his experiences with anxiety, therapy, and performance pressure from his football career, and how learning to express his emotions has made him a better partner, friend, and man. They also dive into how couples can create emotional safety, shift unhealthy gender roles, and hold space for each other's needs. If you've ever felt frustrated by a partner who won't open up or you're a guy trying to navigate your own mental health, this episode will leave you seen, validated, and better equipped.

We're discussing the impact of body image and societal pressures on women within the fitness industry this week with Aram Grigorian. We examine how these factors contribute to unhealthy behaviors and promote misinformation, while emphasizing the importance of cultivating a healthy relationship with food and physical activity. After you listen, you'll simplify your approach to fitness and nutrition by understanding that true health comes from balance and self-acceptance, rather than meeting unrealistic standards.

You're doing the work. You're being consistent. You know things are changing…But then you take a photo and think, ‘I still look fat.'Welcome to the messy middle. The part no one talks about. It's not exciting. It's not dramatic. It's just hard. And boring. And where you're most likely to quit on yourself. In this episode, we're getting real about:Why this part of the journey feels so uncomfortableThe emotional rollercoaster of “I've changed!” vs “I still look fat”What to do when your body is changing but your mind hasn't caught upHow to keep going when it feels like nothing is working

(VIDEO PODCAST) In this vulnerable and I'm sure relatable episode, Marina and I discuss our journey with body image issues, disordered eating, weight gain, weight loss, and all the common experiences women experience, but aren't always openly talked about. As women, so much of our value is placed in how we look which leads to perfectionism and holding ourselves to these unsustainable standards. Being so hard on ourselves subconsciously harms our sense of worth and Marina and I share the mindset shifts we've adopted and continue to practice in order to love and accept ourselves at EVERY stage. If you've experienced disordered eating or struggled with body image, you are not alone and my hope is that this episode makes you feel seen with the tools that will leave you feeling empowered. IG: @syncd.up

In this week's Listener Q&A, I'm answering two questions that reveal how we give away our emotional power to others' opinions and societal expectations. One listener struggles with body image after years of parental criticism—believing their worth is tied to their size. Another feels frustrated by always initiating sex in their marriage—turning intimacy into resentment.Both questions highlight a key issue: we let other people's actions dictate how we feel about ourselves. Whether it's believing your worth is tied to your body size—or thinking your partner needs to initiate intimacy for it to “count”—you're giving away your power. Tune in to learn how to take it back.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/401

SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOU'RE WIRED It's okay to have hard times. It's okay to feel lonely. It's okay to feel lonely when you're with a bunch of people. It's okay to not be okay. It's okay to be happy, joyful, and stimmy. It's okay to be quiet and reserved. It's okay to want to be out and doing things. It's okay to want to be in your bed, in your home where it's cozy and comfy. There is no way that you can screw up being who you are because who you are is really okay. It's even when it feels like you're not okay. You are enough. You are perfect as you are. You're wired differently and finding people that are wired like you can really make a difference. If you have that great and if you don't have it PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

If you're only focused on shrinking your body, you're missing the real transformation.This episode goes beyond the scale to talk about what holds you back, and it's not just the number.In this episode, I'm getting into the real weight that's keeping you stuck:The toxic self-talk running on autopilotThe emotional eating you use to numb outThe dead relationships and friendships dragging you downThe pressure to be perfect before you can feel good in your skinThe “inner fat b*tch” voice that shames you into silenceThe belief that life will finally begin once you hit your goal weightWeight loss might be the goal, but healing the emotional weight is what sets you free.If you're tired of losing the same pounds over and over while your confidence stays buried underneath guilt, shame, and fear… this one's for you.

Send us a textIn this powerful episode of The StrongHer Way, Alisha Carlson shares the truth most fitness influencers won't tell you: the number on the scale isn't the goal—it's a distraction.Whether you're a busy mom chasing confidence, strength, or that sculpted look, this conversation will help you redefine success beyond weight loss. Alisha breaks down what body recomposition actually is, why toning is a myth, and how non-scale victories are the true measure of transformation.If you've been chasing a smaller body hoping to feel better, this is your wake-up call to build a stronger one—and finally feel like you again. What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why obsessing over the scale can sabotage your resultsThe real difference between fat loss, weight loss, and body recompositionWhy the “toned” look comes from building muscle—not cardio or calorie cutsHow your self-worth has nothing to do with your weightThe power of celebrating non-scale victories to stay motivatedWhat it really means to take a holistic, sustainable approach to fitnessHow to shift your mindset and unlock a deeper level of transformation Key Takeaways:Obsessing over the scale will hold you back.The scale doesn't measure your progress, your worth, or your strength.Muscle building is essential for long-term body confidence.You're already worthy—your weight doesn't define you.“Toning” isn't real. Strength is.Track your progress in how you feel, move, and lead—not just how you look.Sustainable health starts in the mind and ends in embodied confidence. Episode Chapters:00:00 – Breaking Free from the Scale Obsession02:36 – Redefining Worth Beyond Weight05:43 – Understanding Body Recomposition vs. Weight Loss08:23 – The Myth of Toning and Building Muscle11:37 – Tracking Progress Beyond the Scale14:17 – The Importance of Non-Scale Wins17:21 – Shifting Focus from Numbers to Feelings20:06 – Creating Lasting Change Through Mindset Resources & Links:

Movement can be one of the most confusing and emotionally charged topics in eating disorder recovery. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne answers some of the most common questions about exercise and recovery: When is it safe to move again? What if movement was part of your eating disorder—or what if it was your only way to self-regulate? What if you're scared of returning to exercise because of past trauma or fear of judgment? You'll hear practical, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming guidance on how to rebuild a relationship with movement that's rooted in safety, consent, and care—not pressure or punishment. Whether you're in early recovery or re-evaluating movement years later, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and real-world support for finding your own path. ✨ If you're looking for a non-punishing, neurodivergent-friendly approach to recovery, check out Dr. Marianne's binge eating recovery membership: https://www.drmariannemiller.com/binge-eating-101-class-1 LISTEN TO OTHER EPISODES ON MOVEMENT & FITNESS Fitness Culture, Body Image, & Joyful Movement with @thoughtfullyfueled Lisa Schrader, RD on Apple & Spotify.

Most often, this podcast focuses on struggles with beauty and body image among women.
