Podcasts about body neutrality

There's an entire industry built on the idea that if you hate yourself enough, you'll eventually change. And yet everything we know about shame tells us the opposite is true. So why do we keep going back there? And more importantly, what does it actually take to break free?This week on Live Well Be Well, I'm sitting down with Shahroo Izadi, Behavioural Change Specialist, NHS clinical trainer, and bestselling author of The Kindness Method and The Last Diet. Shahroo spent years working in addiction recovery, and what she found there transformed not only her professional understanding of change, but her own relationship with food, her body, and herself. We go deep into why so many of us associate change with self-loathing, why willpower alone will always fail us, and how the tools used in addiction recovery hold the blueprint for any meaningful behaviour change. Shahroo also shares her own story with complete honesty, including binge eating, a gastric band, eight stone lost, and what finally made the difference. This is one of those conversations that reframes everything.Here's what we dive into:- How shame becomes the enemy of lasting habit change.- Why the only habit worth learning is how to change habits.- What addiction recovery gets right that mainstream wellness misses.- How to interrupt the shame spiral after a setback.- Why body neutrality is a more honest goal than body positivity.Love,Sarah Ann

What if the best workout for your body is not the hardest one, but the one you can actually keep showing up for? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Megan Roup, founder of The Sculpt Society, celebrity trainer, mother, former professional dancer, and creator of a movement method designed to help women build strength, confidence, and consistency without burnout. Together, they explore why so many women feel overwhelmed by midlife fitness advice, especially around strength training, cardio, cortisol, pelvic floor health, menopause, and body composition.Megan shares why extreme, all-or-nothing workout plans often fail women in real life, especially during midlife when hormones, sleep, stress, family responsibilities, and energy levels are constantly shifting. She explains how shorter, well-programmed workouts can still support muscle, bone density, cardiovascular health, mobility, and emotional well-being.Dr. Taz and Megan also discuss pelvic floor function, progressive overload, cardio myths, GLP-1 medications, body image, intuitive movement, and why body confidence does not come from being thin. Megan offers a more realistic, joyful, and sustainable way to think about movement as medicine, especially for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, postpartum recovery, and the constant transitions of life.This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like fitness became another source of pressure instead of a path back to themselves.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

I've been through a similar trajectory that so many have in food and body image recovery. In my twenties, I got to a place where food was less of a concern. I wasn't skipping meals anymore and I was balancing those meals and eating all macronutrients. I felt much more grounded and regulated. But, the body image struggles continued to hang around. I felt good in my body but I still hated the way my body looked. So, I tried every mainstream approach. I tried the stronger over skinny approach where I lifted a lot of heavy weights and gained a lot of muscle. Yet still, it felt like it was never enough. So, I tried the unconditional body love approach and tried to love my body as it was. No matter how much I tried to challenge my internalized beliefs about my body, nothing would budge. I still looked in the mirror every day and internally said, "ick". When I started somatic therapy, it wasn't with the intention of trying to heal my body image. I was focused on healing from a trauma response. What I wasn't expecting was that I would find myself caring less and less about how my body looked the safer I felt. In this week's episode, I chat about: A somatic, nervous system, attachment perspective to body image struggles Research that points to body image struggles are more about alterations in your brain and nervous system than it is about your body Strategies to increase interoception, a key part of body image recoveryYou can read the transcript to this episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/reframe-your-reflectionI've opened the doors back up for the next 48 hours until midnight on Tuesday 5/26 to the Somatic Eating® Program. The first class has already occurred so you will be able to watch the replay of the first class and reach out in the already active community to ask questions and receive support. Something I wished I had as I navigated my food and body image interactions was someone who would have guided me on how to listen to myself, rather than give me a bunch of advice that didn't work for my body. That is what I do in the program: support you in cultivating trust in yourself that you know what is best for you and how to discover that for yourself after you've been away from your body for years.

I noticed a three-year stretch where I'm barely in family photos, even though I was there., and I don't want that for you. In this episode, I share 3 practices to shift away from chasing "flattering" and choosing presence instead, so you can be visible in midlife and stop letting pictures decide how you feel about your body.I talk about:Why the point of a picture is the moment, not your good sideReframing photos as time capsules rather than auditionsHow to stop letting selfie culture (and the 99 deleted shots) shape how you see yourselfThe reframe I borrowed from a recent guest that I cannot stop thinking about: visibility is generosityWhy staying in the picture is one of the most powerful things you can do for the women coming up behind yoI'm sure you have a friend who needs to hear this, so I'd love if you'd share this episode with them! And if this episode helps you keep a photo instead of deleting it, I would love to hear that too. You can always send me fan mail through the podcast website.This summer, your only assignment is to be in the photo. You don't have to love it. You don't have to feel beautiful in it. You just have to be in it. The moment matters. The world needs more pictures of midlife women living in their bodies.If this episode resonates and you want real support around body image before summer hits, there are still a couple of spots left in my six-week Midlife Body Image Lab if you're listening before May 16th. Related Episodes You'll Love:#182: Visibility as Generosity, Rethinking Photos, Aging and Confidence with Kristen Vallejo#190: Menopause and Body Image: How to Feel Like Yourself AgainWhat did you think of this episode?

In this emotional final episode, Victoria reflects on the journey from recording scrappy early interviews in her home to building a 10M+ download podcast that became a true safe space for honest, vulnerable conversations.

According to a 2019 online survey conducted by the Mental Health Foundation and YouGov, over a third of UK adults have felt anxious or depressed because of their body image. Although that particular survey didn't specifically address how gender affected the chances of someone feeling unsatisfied about their appearance, the summary acknowledged that it is often more common among young women.  We've talked about the increasing popularity of the body positive movement in the past on Do You Really Know, but such findings show that it hasn't yet fundamentally shifted women's perspectives on their bodies. The pressure to have a ‘perfect body' remains significant. However, there's a new trend out there which suggests adopting a more measured and neutral stance towards our appearance, rather than advocating unconditional self-love. It's known as body neutrality. Where does this movement come from? So, does this mean we shouldn't love our bodies anymore? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

The statement, “You are not your body,” needs some somatic updating. This statement, which has been said countless of times to try to decrease body image struggles, actually guides you in detaching from the body, further causing separation from safely inhabiting the body.René Descartes' “I think, therefore I am,” reinforced a mind-body split. This contributed to the belief that the body is meant to be transcended and translated to: don't listen to your body, hunger, fatigue, needs, or sensations. This has led to further objectification of the body that it can be shaped to meet the mind's desires. and detaching from the body in the process doesn't teach you how to sense, feel, and relate to your body.In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: Challenging the statement you are not your bodyThe importance of inhabiting your body to decrease body image issuesBody image and your nervous systemUpdating the you are not your body sentimentJournaling questions You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/you-are-not-your-body-or-are-youHope you enjoy this episode and talk with you next week!With 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...

This may be the most important episode in the Waiting for Weight Loss Series. Today, host Heather Creekmore dives deep into the topic of body idolatry and the spiritual dynamics behind an over-desire for weight loss and body change. Raised in a Christian home, Heather Creekmore shares how her pursuit of body transformation became a central idol in her life, promising fictitious "salvation" that only led to disappointment and frustration. Drawing from her work with women across all body sizes, she explains that this is a heart issue, not just a body issue—one rooted in expecting rest, security, and hope from physical goals rather than from God. Through heartfelt stories, biblical insight, and practical encouragement, Heather Creekmore exposes the empty promises of body "idols" and invites listeners to honestly evaluate their motivations. She encourages confession, repentance, and shifting priorities to experience true freedom and purpose. If this message resonates or feels new, join the supportive community and consider participating in the 40-Day Body Image Journey starting right after Easter for deeper exploration and lasting change. Call to Action:Ready to break free from body image idolatry and find lasting rest? Join Heather and other women in the transformative 40-Day Body Image Journey—starting April 6th!

If you've ever hidden in the back of a family photo, skipped a headshot session, or cringed when you saw a candid picture of yourself, this episode is for you.I sat down with Kristen Vallejo, a portrait and branding photographer based in upstate New York, who has made it her mission to help women feel comfortable and confident being seen. In this conversation, we unpack why so many of us (especially women navigating midlife) have such a complicated relationship with being photographed. We talk about the role social media has played in making us feel like every picture has to be perfect, why menopause can make it even harder to recognize yourself in photos, and how we can start to shift that.One of the most powerful reframes Kristen shares is this: visibility is generosity. When you hide from the camera, you're also withholding yourself ( your gifts, your presence, your relatability) from the people who need to see you. That hit me in a deep way, and I think it will for you too.We also talk about body diversity and representation, why photographers aren't looking at you with the critical lens you're using on yourself, and some practical tips to make any photo session feel less like a pressure cooker.Kristen's missing ingredient in midlife? Novelty. And I love that answer.In this episode, we cover:Why so many women approach the camera with terror, and what's underneath itHow social media has raised the bar for "acceptable" photos and what that costs usWhy going through menopause can make seeing yourself in photos feel particularly confrontingWhat body neutrality looks like in practice, even in a portrait sessionThe power of representation and why your visible presence matters more than you thinkPractical tips for preparing for a photo session without the overwhelmAbout Kristen Vallejo: Kristen Vallejo is a portrait and branding photographer based in upstate New York, specializing in entrepreneurs, small business owners, and those with animals in their work. She's passionate about capturing the real person behind the lens — not just a polished pose.

Vic is doing something wildly out of character… and that's the point! In this life update, she shares why she and her husband, Max, are packing up and living in a sprinter van for a spontaneous three-week road trip across California. After a season of burnout, routine, and always chasing the next goal, Vic opens up about craving more freedom, curiosity, and space to figure out who she is becoming in this next chapter. She breaks down how the trip came together, how Max reacted to her out-of-the-blue idea, what van life will actually look like, and why this journey is about more than just the views. If you've been feeling stuck, overplanned, or disconnected from your sense of adventure, this episode might be the nudge you need. Tune in to hear why Vic is choosing spontaneity, simplicity, and the journey inward this season.Related episode:Chaotic Life Update: I'm Burnt Out & Something Needs to ChangeAubrey & Corporate Natalie are Back!! 2025 Reflections & New Year Goal Setting// SPONSORS // Premier Protein: Find your favorite flavor at premierprotein.com or at Amazon, Walmart, and other major retailers.

The Mind Architect, Peter Crone, is here for a life-changing conversation about how to unlock the subconscious beliefs holding you back and reclaim peace and presence in your life. Peter breaks down why we spiral in negative thoughts, why your brain is always bracing for a bad future that hasn't even happened yet, and how to stop endlessly “fixing” your problems and start dissolving them instead. He shares simple, grounding tools to calm anxiety, get out of worst-case-scenario mode, and be more present with the people and life right in front of you. The episode wraps with a real-time one-on-one session where Peter helps Vic uncover a subconscious belief or “lie” that's been quietly holding her back, giving you a front-row seat to the work that creates real, lasting change.

Every Saturday, my husband and I listen to a podcast that reads Reddit stories. For a long time, I have wanted to do something similar but with a focus on food and body image behaviors. I even set up a whole form for people to send in questions, but I got very few responses. So I decided to move forward on this anyway and find my own Reddit stories to read and share my thoughts on how I might support that person in their situation. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode: I read 3 different body image situations I discuss from a trauma, somatic, and nervous system perspective how I might respond to these indivdualsI get into topics such as weight stigma, past trauma, capitalism, and dieting generational traumaI share the wisdom in body image concerns and how to start to see them as protection Because this was a new kind of episode I'm testing out, there is no transcript to this week's episode. If you loved this format, let me know and I will be sure to have transcripts to future episodes like this one.I would love to hear your thoughts on this new format and I hope you enjoy it! With 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/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.benso...

Do you ever feel like you're doing everything “right” with food, but still feel stuck in your body and unsure about your choices? Maybe you've tried to eat clean, count points, or follow the plan, only to feel even more confused or frustrated. In this episode, we open up about the deep impact of diet culture. From childhood restrictions to careers shaped by body expectations, we share how messages around body image, weight, and control shape our choices long before we realize it. This honest conversation explores the roots of disordered eating, the guilt of emotional eating, and the struggle to feel at home in a changing body. You'll hear how cultural pressures and family patterns can shape your choices around eating, increase food obsession, affect your sense of body autonomy, and lower your confidence in making decisions about food and movement. You'll learn how phrases like “clean eating” and “getting your body back” after pregnancy feed into the binge restrict cycle, reinforce weight stigma, and disrupt the ability to connect with your body's needs. If you've ever blamed yourself for a craving or tied your worth to your reflection, this is a safe space to pause and ask why. We share what helped us move toward intuitive eating and how shifting to an anti-diet approach allowed us to find real food freedom. Whether you're navigating life in a post-pregnancy body or just tired of chasing food rules, this episode will remind you that you can support your health without judgment or control. What you'll learn in this episode: How childhood messages around food can lead to lasting patterns What makes a relationship with food feel obsessive or disconnected Why body image pressure shows up differently across life stages How generational beliefs and culture shape your approach to eating What it looks like to shift toward body trust, compassion, and calm If your brain is always spinning about meals or your value feels linked to a number, you're not alone. There's a gentler path grounded in intuitive nutrition, body acceptance, and health at every size. It starts with curiosity, not criticism. Let's rebrand wellness together!

Kick off your new year with a refreshing and hope-filled conversation about the pressure to set body-related goals and the journey toward real freedom. Hosts Heather Creekmore and Amy Carlson dig deep into why so many women set weight loss as their top resolution and how our culture’s diet obsessions impact families, friendships, and faith communities. You’ll hear honest stories, including “are we getting left behind?” anxiety, the latest health fads (GLP1s and fiber, anyone?), and powerful encouragement to seek God’s “how much more” rather than settle for the world’s lesser goals. Whether you’re a goal-setter, a recovering dieter, or someone wondering what you might be missing by chasing smaller jeans instead of a fuller life—this episode will inspire you to open your hands, journal, and pursue the abundance only God can give. **Get your FREE Obsessed-to-Blessed Mini course here. Journal Prompts from Today’s Episode What am I going to miss if I invest my time and energy into weight loss this year?(Reflect on what parts of your life could suffer or what experiences you might lose out on.) What parts of my life feel stunted or neglected because of my focus on body goals?(Take inventory of relationships, passions, or spiritual growth you could nurture instead.) What is my mind telling me ‘my life will begin when…’?(Finish this sentence honestly and challenge what you believe about starting to live.) What am I not asking God for that would truly bring “how much more” into my life?(Go before God with open hands – ask Him what He wants for you in 2026.) Who else is impacted by my health and eating practices?(Consider your kids, spouse, friends, or community and how your choices ripple out.) How does seeking smaller goals (like a certain weight or restriction) limit the breadth of my ‘garden’—my life?(Picture your life as a garden and consider what fruit you aren’t tending to.) “My life will start when…” versus “How much more does God have for me?”(Contrast your answer to these two prompts and pray for wisdom to pursue God’s best.) Bonus: Community Conversation StarterIf something in this episode resonated with you or led to a new insight or goal, Amy encourages listeners to share their goal or what God is inviting them into for 2026. Imagine how uplifting it would be to see what God’s abundance is unfolding in lives beyond just body-centered achievements! EncouragementYou’re not behind, and you don’t have to settle for less. Hear stories, biblical truths, and real talk that help you stop comparing and start living with open hands, trust, and greater faith. Need more support?

What happens when the persona becomes the product? We sit down with creator and model Annie Miao to explore the strange, funny, and sometimes tender space where AI influencers, VTubers, and deepfakes collide with mental health, body image, and the business of being online. From cat ears to consent, we unpack why audiences follow people more than topics—and how that changes what “authentic” even means.Annie traces her path from bullied band kid to internet-native creative, sharing how the web offered belonging long before real life did. We get into the economics behind modern media—OnlyFans as a curiosity-powered Patreon, Hollywood and gaming chasing billion-dollar budgets, and the course economy where coaches coach coaches. Along the way, we challenge the culty edges of “life optimization” and ask what creators actually owe their communities: disclosure, value, and boundaries.Our most important pivot lands on mental health and body image. We talk toxic positivity, why suffering can be a teacher, and how body neutrality helps when self-love feels impossible. Models and bodybuilders aren't immune to dysmorphia—if anything, the pressure can be worse. So we trade mirror battles for kinder questions: What does my body let me do today? How do I nourish it without shame? With AI blurring faces and voices, we propose a simple ethic: tell the truth, label the edits, and keep the humanity in the loop.If you're curious about AI e-girls, burned out on hustle sermons, or just trying to feel like yourself on the internet, this one's for you. Hit follow, share with a friend who lives online, and leave a review telling us where you think authenticity goes next.

Victoria sits down for the kind of life update you'd give your best friend when everything feels like… a lot. She opens up about the burnout she's been pushing through, a major (and expensive) business mistake, team changes, and what it's been like to juggle a nonprofit, a podcast, and a full creator career without losing herself in the process. She talks about the fear of stepping back, the pressure to constantly show up online, and the nagging feeling that something in her life needs to shift. Vic also shares the mindset breakthroughs she had at a recent Peter Crone event, why she's craving more freedom and adventure, and how she's trying to slow down enough to hear her own voice again. If you've ever felt stretched thin, stuck in a season of “figuring it out,” or unsure how to reset, this episode will feel like a deep breath.

Hi Creative Cutie! The holidays...They're often a time that can trigger old wounds of all sorts. Definitely not the least of which, are wounds around our bodies and body image. I wanted to reshare this episode with you to help you gain some awareness and tools to heal your relationship to your body and gain Body Neutrality. More info below. I love you and happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate!Original Description:TW: Eating Disorders and Body image.Today's guest is Jessi Kneeland. They are a queer and non-binary writer, speaker, podcaster and body image coach. Jessi started off as a physical trainer-- working with everyone from celebrities to supermodels and they found something interesting -no matter the body type, their clients always thought their bodies were not enough. This led Jessi to dig into their own body image, traumas and past to finally discover what helped them start their healing journey, which is something they call, Body Neutrality. As someone who has long suffered with a bevy of body image issues including eating disorders, disordered eating and just generally never feeling Like I have the “right” body…I can honestly say I find Jessi's work revolutionary and healing in such a deep way, it's hard to really put into words. Between their book Body Neutral, which comes out this June (and I highly recommend you pre-order now) and this conversation, I feel like I'm finally on a path to do some deep healing and rewiring in this area. I hope this chat will do the same for you.From today's chat, you'll learn:What exactly body neutrality isHow to stop self-objectifyingHow to build up self-advocacy and become your own protectorHow to get to the bottom of your body storyHow to distinguish body positivity from body neutralityWhat happens to your creativity when you take the focus off of how you lookOrder Jessi's book here: https://www.jessikneeland.com/product-page/sustainable-movement-a-body-neutral-guide-to-health-fitness 

Vic is sharing advice on her most passionate topic: helping women find real peace with their bodies and food!
