Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!Kathryn Morea spent 29 years married before a divorce in her early 50s left her rebuilding an identity she hadn't touched in decades. She'd only ever known herself as half of a marriage, so figuring out who she was on her own, in her 50s, meant starting from a blank page most people don't expect to face at that age. Now in her 60s, she coaches midlife women through what she calls the glow-up: reclaiming body confidence, dating, and desirability instead of assuming that season of life is over. They explore:Why she believes so many women unknowingly operate from scarcity around dating and love, and what changed when she started seeing real abundance insteadThe specific mindset shift that made her stop apologizing for her body on dates, and why she thinks the apology itself sends the wrong messageWhat it took to separate her worth from a story she'd been telling herself for years about what was still available to her at this ageKathryn's story isn't about pretending midlife is easy. It's about refusing to accept the version of it she'd been handed by default. She spent years rebuilding from the ground up, and what she's built instead isn't a consolation prize for what she lost. It's a life she actively likes better.Connect with Kathryn:Instagram: instagram.com/kathrynunleashedBook your free call with Katheryn: calendly.com/kathryn-morea/one-on-one-call________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

From the WOMENdontDOthat vault, Stephanie Mitton revisits a deeply personal conversation about periods, parenting, and changing the stories girls inherit about their bodies. Growing up, Stephanie and her cousin had a code word for their periods. They called them “friends,” a small example of how early many girls learn to whisper about something completely normal. Years later, as her own daughter approached her first period, Stephanie decided she wanted to do things differently. This episode covers: Why so many of us grew up hiding or whispering about our periods Stephanie's own experiences with painful periods, endometriosis, and hormone-induced migraines How she prepared her daughter for her first period The simple tradition they created to make the milestone feel meaningful Why small rituals can help change the stories we pass on to the next generation Creating more open conversations about women's bodies Giving our daughters, and ourselves, permission to experience womanhood without shame This episode is not about pretending periods are easy. It is about making room for honesty, connection, and a little joy alongside the hard parts. Whether you're raising a daughter, mentoring a young woman, or reflecting on your own experience, this conversation is a reminder that we can change how the next generation experiences these milestones. Sometimes rewriting the story starts with an honest conversation and a piece of chocolate cake. ://www.patreon.com/womendontdothat Instagram - http://www.instagram.com/womendontdothat/ TikTok- http://www.tiktok.com/@womendontdothat Blog- https://www.womendontdothat.com/blog Podcast- https://www.womendontdothat.com/podcast Newsletter- https://www.beaconnorthstrategies.com/contactwww.womendontdothat.com YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@WOMENdontDOthat How to find Stephanie Mitton: Twitter/X- https://twitter.com/StephanieMitton LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemitton/ beaconnorthstrategies.com TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@stephmitton Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemitton/ Interested in sponsorship?

#222 HAND AUFS HERZ - Boob Bestie: Über große Brüste, Mut & eine Bewegung die die Social Media Welt aufmischt - mit Sabrina Herr In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Sabrina – Gründerin von Boob Bestie, einer Community für Frauen mit großer Oberweite. Was auf den ersten Blick nach einem sehr speziellen Thema klingt, ist in Wahrheit ein Gespräch über etwas, das uns alle betrifft: Wie sehr lassen wir uns von den Meinungen anderer beeinflussen? Und wie schaffen wir es, uns selbst treu zu bleiben? Sabrina erzählt, wie sie jahrelang dachte, die Kommentare über ihren Körper seien normal. Warum sie sogar über eine Brustverkleinerung nachgedacht hat. Und weshalb sie heute weiß: Nicht ihre Brüste waren das Problem, sondern der Umgang der Gesellschaft damit. Aus ihrer eigenen Geschichte ist eine Vision entstanden. Mit Boob Bestie möchte sie einen Safe Space schaffen, in dem Frauen sich nicht mehr verstecken, sondern sich gegenseitig stärken. Einen Ort, an dem Body Confidence nicht von einer Kleidergröße oder einer BH-Größe abhängt, sondern von der Entscheidung, das eigene Leben nicht länger von den Blicken anderer bestimmen zu lassen. Wir sprechen über gesellschaftliche Erwartungen, über Grenzen, Respekt und darüber, was tägliche Kommentare mit einem Menschen machen können. Aber vor allem sprechen wir über Freiheit. Die Freiheit, den eigenen Körper nicht länger erklären oder rechtfertigen zu müssen. Eine Folge, die weit über das Thema "große Brüste" hinausgeht und die uns alle dazu einlädt, achtsamer mit unseren Worten zu werden. Denn manchmal verändert nicht unser Körper unser Leben.
Sondern die Geschichten, die andere über ihn erzählen.

In this episode of The Body Grievers® Club, Bri challenges the idea that confidence comes simply from "doing the thing," arguing that without thought awareness and body connection, change won't stick. She reframes confidence as self-assurance: not the absence of discomfort. Brie shares her history with dieting, bariatric surgery at 19, and the ongoing body image pain that persisted even at a smaller size, leading to a 2015 breaking point to start living her life. She discusses dating fears, fetishization, and values alignment.  03:59 Health And Weight Loss Trap 05:18 Bariatric Surgery Reality 09:07 Breaking Point In 2015 12:11 Dating Fear And Fat Bias 14:40 Self Assurance Framework 15:04 Step One Self Talk Audit 15:41 Step Two Values Reality Test 17:16 Step Three Cement Chair Confidence 21:24 Step Four Trauma Informed Exposure 25:41 Living With Ongoing Body Grief   EPISODE RESOURCES Episode 21: Bri's Body Image Breaking Point  WANT MORE OF BRI? *Instagram: @bodyimagewithbri

Welcome to the FIRST EVER How To Fail Roundtable - a format we enjoyed so much we might just keep it. Today, Elizabeth is joined by broadcaster, actor, author and comedian Mel Giedroyc, and presenting powerhouse AJ Odudu for a candid conversation about body confidence, midlife reinvention and self-acceptance. Brought to you by Dove Whole Body Deodorant, they discuss navigating public scrutiny, aging, personal experiences of the menopause and the importance of friendship.  Together, they explore how honesty, resilience and everyday rituals can help us feel more confident and comfortable in our own skin. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE:  00:00 Intro 02:39 Mel on body confidence 05:50 AJ on self appreciation 06:53 Freshness and shoot day hacks 09:08 Mel career and live TV 11:46 Screen scrutiny and representation 18:05 Midlife reinvention begins 22:15 The Power of Invisibility 23:51 Slowing Down to Go Deeper 24:58 AJ on Reinvention and Grief 27:32 Daily Rituals as Survival 28:45 Perimenopause Reality Check 30:47 HRT and Finding Relief 33:46 Owning ‘No' and the Crone Era 35:42 Women Supporting Women Finale

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. Listen now.Connect with Fiona: Website: https://www.themindfuldietitian.com.au/ Instagram: @the.mindfuldietitianIf this episode resonated with you, come join us inside The Midlife Feast Community.

When Claire Rumore was lifted into a hospital gurney to undergo her first biopsy, she stepped aside to use the restroom first. And while she was there, she heard a quiet internal voice ask her a question: Do you want to go back to the life you had before? Is that what you want? Without hesitation, her answer was no. What followed was one of the most unusual cancer journeys in modern medicine. Claire was 43 years old. She had stage four pancreatic cancer — a diagnosis that typically affects older men, and that her medical team never actually disclosed to her during treatment. She went through two major abdominal surgeries, dropped to 74 pounds, lost her menstrual cycle, lost her libido, and lost the person she had been. And then, slowly, over the course of eighteen months, she found her way back. Not to who she was- but to someone clearer, more embodied, and more deeply connected to her own desire than she had ever been before. In this episode, Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz sit down with Claire for a conversation about the emotional, relational, and erotic dimensions of cancer recovery that medicine almost never addresses. Claire is the founder of Cancer and Intimacy, an education platform built on a three-part framework she developed from her own experience and her work with patients, survivors, and their partners. The first lily pad is erotic grief, the deeply under addressed process of mourning what's been lost: The body you knew, the sexuality you had, the intimacy you can no longer access in the same way. Claire has written a free ebook on erotic grief and makes a compelling case that this experience is not exclusive to cancer. It's universal to anyone navigating major change. The second is libido listening. The slow, quiet, inward practice of reacquainting yourself with your own body's signals after illness or loss. Claire describes learning to feel pleasure in the sheets against her skin, in the air in the room, in the gentlest forms of touch, what she calls subtle sexuality. A term she coined to describe the low, soft, sensory orientation to desire that becomes the entry point back to conventional sexuality.

Why do so many girls disengage from sport during their school years and what can schools do to change that? In this special Teachers Talk Radio show in partnership with the Football Association (FA), hosts Tom Rogers and Rae Whitehouse are joined by Stacey Mullock, Head of Development at The FA, and secondary teacher Helen Tonks to explore the barriers still holding girls back in sport and school life. Whether it be misogyny and exclusion to body confidence, periods, kit anxiety and the fear of judgement, this honest and practical conversation looks at the real experiences many girls face and why these issues extend far beyond the football pitch. Drawing on insights from the FA & Barclays Made for This Game: Breaking Barriers campaign, the panel discusses how schools can create environments where girls feel confident, included and able to belong. The conversation explores what misogyny looks like in schools today, how teachers can open difficult conversations with confidence, and the small cultural shifts that can make a big difference. With 90% of schools now offering girls equal access to football, progress is real but access alone isn't enough. This show looks at what comes next and how teachers can help girls build confidence, resilience and a lasting sense of self-worth.

Heela Yang built Sol de Janeiro, one of the most beloved body care brands, from her dining room, but her path there looked nothing like a typical business plan. After twelve years in corporate beauty following stints at Goldman Sachs and a Harvard MBA, she left New York for Brazil for love, only to find herself pregnant, isolated, and unable to do the work that had always defined her. A single afternoon on a beach, surrounded by women of every shape in a very small bikini she'd been talked into, changed everything. In this episode, Heela shares how that moment became the emotional blueprint for Sol de Janeiro, the cult-favorite brand that launched a craze for mists and body care and built a business around embracing your body and skin as it is, no matter what size or shape.

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:

In this episode, I explore three ways to develop a master mindset with body image, when approaching the summer and warmer weather. I talk about reframing thoughts, avoiding body bashing behaviours (eg: weighing, mirror checking, scrutinising old photos and social media) and living a bigger life.

Janna MacGregor joins Samantha Tennant to discuss her story in the Busty Bodice Club anthology, The Curves for the Secret Duke — a Regency romance with fake marriage, friends to lovers, and a secret-duke twist she rewrote from the ground up. They also talk about the anthology's collaborative process, writing full-figured heroines in the Regency era, and how Janna's legal training shaped her approach to craft.

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?

What we if women treated our bodies like a gift instead of a problem to fix? And men you'll want to listen up if you have ever been asked by a woman, do I look fat? You'll get the right answer in this episode! After swim practice, we sit down with Stephanie Havelka, a true water woman whose life in sport spans competitive swimming, Kona Ironman, outrigger canoe racing around the globe, surf ski, and even Olympic Trials kayaking. She also happens to be the founder of Sportkini, a swimwear brand built for athletic women who actually move. She's also a  #1 ranked US Masters swimmer. We talk about how a “champion mindset” transfers from one sport to the next: being coachable, staying curious, and using training as a tool for confidence. Stephanie shares the behind-the-scenes story of how Sport Kini started with sketches at 14, then took shape after a chance meeting with a top Australian swimsuit designer who taught her how to build suits that stay put, feel good, and hold up to chlorine, salt water and real adventure. If you've ever searched for athletic swimwear, sport bikinis, or a two piece swimsuit you can truly swim in, you'll hear exactly what “function first” looks like.Then we go deeper into body confidence. Stretch marks, scars, changes, and the constant background noise of “should” do not get the final say. Stephanie lays out a simple, brave approach: wear what you want, try it a little at a time if you're nervous, and get your mind off the suit so you can get back to the sport you love. She also shares how she lost 52 pounds by lowering stress and addressing an autoimmune flare cycle, and how that shift helped her return to training and post the #1 US time in the 55–59 SCM 100 free while still seeing big room to improve.If you know a masters swimmer, triathlete, paddler, or any active woman who needs a boost, share this conversation with them.

This week I'm joined by the brilliant Danielle,Broadbent, a broadcaster, body confidence coach and campaigner, and someone whose energy is as uplifting as it is grounding. From the moment we met a couple of years ago, I knew we shared the same passion for helping women feel more at ease in themselves and this conversation really reflects that.Danielle opens up about her journey with body confidence and how a life changing TV experience on CH4 Naked Beach completely shifted the way she saw herself. Not her body, but her mindset. And that's where everything started to change.We talk about the years we both spent worrying about how we looked, the moments we held ourselves back, and the freedom that comes when you finally let that go.There's also a really honest conversation about social media, the good and the bad, and how to keep showing up even when it feels hard.And alongside all of that, Danielle shares the work she's doing to create change within the education system, something that comes from a deeply personal place and affects so many families. This is a conversation about perspective, resilience, and learning to trust yourself again.

Sex After 50, No Apologies with Suzanne Noble [TESSA] In this enlightening episode, we dive deep into the evolving conversations surrounding sex, aging, and the open nest lifestyle with Suzanne Noble, a trailblazer in advocating for older adults embracing their sexuality. As a returning guest, Suzanne shares her journey since our last chat, discussing how her experiences have shaped her understanding of intimacy in later life. We explore the idea of being “open nesters” and how it reflects a new chapter filled with opportunities for growth, connection, and reinforced relationships with partners and family. SEX AFTER 50 Suzanne recounts the inception of her podcast, born out of her open relationship and a desire to discuss sex among older individuals. Following the release of the film “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande,” which centers around a 61-year-old woman’s journey to sexual fulfillment, Suzanne found herself thrust into the spotlight as a relatable voice for women discussing sex and aging. This episode chronicles her evolution as a content creator, detailing how she transitioned from starting this project with a partner to eventually providing insights and reflections independently, underscoring her status as a vital resource in the realm of sexual health for older adults. 2:01  The Birth of a Podcast 4:57  Insights from Expert Interviews 8:19  Redefining Relationships in Later Life 12:56 Expanding the Definition of Pleasure 19:28 Body Confidence and Acceptance 30:14 Reflections on Aging and Acceptance We delve into the often stigmatized subjects of erectile dysfunction and vaginal atrophy, with Suzanne sharing that these issues affect roughly 50% of individuals over 50. Reflecting on her personal experiences and those of her guests, she emphasizes the importance of open conversations surrounding these challenges. This dialogue highlights the lack of medical support and resources available to older adults, urging the need for healthcare providers to prioritize discussions about intimate health and pleasure as people age. Throughout the episode, we explore the notion of redefining pleasure beyond traditional paradigms, encouraging listeners to embrace a broader understanding of sexual intimacy that isn’t solely orgasm-centered. The discussion shifts towards the importance of maintaining curiosity and communication within intimate relationships, emphasizing how these elements can enhance sexual experiences as people navigate changes in their desires and bodies. As the conversation flows, Suzanne shares her insights on mens' roles in these conversations, particularly around penile health, while shedding light on tools like penis pumps and cock rings. We also touch on the importance of body confidence as we age, reflecting on communal spaces, such as nudist retreats, that celebrate diverse bodies and foster acceptance. This acceptance, Suzanne demonstrates, can empower individuals to express their needs and desires boldly, a pivotal aspect of healthy, fulfilling relationships. The episode concludes with reflections on the power of identity transformation in the later stages of life. Suzanne discusses her current casual relationship, emphasizing how this stage is about enjoying shared experiences and prioritizing pleasure in new and enlightening ways. This openness and self-acceptance, she argues, are essential for anyone navigating the complexities of intimacy in their golden years. With her enthusiastic and candid approach, Suzanne Noble provides inspiration for those in the open nest stage of life to reclaim their narratives around sexuality and aging, encouraging them to engage in meaningful conversations and experiences without shame. Tune in to discover how embracing curiosity, compassion, and courage can transform the landscape of intimacy for older adults.

In this episode of Life Equals Choices, Choices Equal Life, host Kim Olver continues her empowering conversation with Liz Hansen, owner and photographer at Chicago Boudoir Photography, about how boudoir photography can transform a woman's confidence, self-worth, and body image.If you missed Part 1 of this conversation, you can listen here https://life-choices.captivate.fm/episode/liz-hansen/.Liz talks about what a boudoir session is really like—why it's important to block out a half day just for you, how the experience often becomes a day of self-care and self-acceptance, and why many women come out of their sessions feeling more confident, proud, and liberated than they ever expected. She explains how seeing your body through a new lens—literally and metaphorically—can shift your self-perception and remind you of your inherent value, worth, and beauty.Kim and Liz also explore common hesitations women have before a shoot and why those fears often melt away once they see the final images. Liz shares deeply affirming insights about how boudoir can be part of a broader journey of self-love—not because the camera “fixes” anything, but because it reveals something the woman has always carried inside.Liz also talks about her recently published book, A Year of Body Confidence: 365 Days of Affirmations and Actions for Women, a daily resource for grounding self-love and confidence-building habits (link below).Whether you're curious about a boudoir experience or you're navigating issues with body image, confidence, or self-worth, this conversation offers compassionate perspective and encouragement to see yourself as stronger, more worthy, and more beautiful than you might have believed.

Welcome back to Voices of Your Village, and I'm so grateful to be sharing this conversation with you. If you're raising bigger kids, those school-age humans navigating a world full of messages about what they should look like, eat, wear, or do with their bodies—this episode is for you.Today, I'm joined by Dr. Whitney Casares, pediatrician, author, and mom of two, to talk about real body confidence—not the “just love yourself!” kind, but the kind rooted in science, self-awareness, and actual conversations we can have with our kids.We dive into the difference between body literacy and body positivity, how to talk to kids about food without shame, and why it matters to meet every body with understanding.This is a conversation about equipping kids with tools and support,  and helping them feel at home in the bodies they live in—  whether they're dealing with unexpected body changes, hurtful schoolyard comments, or the rising pressure to fit a mold, that, let's be honest, isn't realistic for most of us.Alright folks, let's dive in.

I'm a big believer that we can receive good advice from anyone, regardless of their age. Emma Shandy Anway is a West Coast-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specialises in relational and sex therapy. Although in her mid thirties, she has extensive experience working with couples aged 50+ and, during this episode, we discussed her work specifically with those aged 70+. Having chatted several weeks ago with Dr. Susan Campbell, herself in her 80s, about her sex life, I was curious on how someone fifty years her junior approaches the topic with her older clients because I have found that lived experience counts for a huge amount and sometimes those who have no concept of what it means to be older fall into familiar tropes and stereotypes that have no bearing on reality.I can't say that about Emma whose approach with her older patients clearly demonstrates an openness and eagerness to help them embrace their sexual selves, whether that means exploring open relationships, kink or simply learning how to be a better lover to each other. As Emma says, age, illness and changing bodies do not have to mean the end of a vibrant sex life; the biggest shifts are in mindset, communication and willingness to experiment.​What I know is that it is never too late to learn, explore or rewrite your sexual story, as long as you genuinely want to and are prepared to be curious, honest and kind with yourself and your partner.You can find Emma here:https://www.esacounseling.com/abouthttps://www.instagram.com/pennyboardpsychHere's a Yes/No/Maybe checklist I consider to be particularly comprehensive:You can find the episode with Dr. Susan Campbell here:Chapters00:00 Introduction to Sexuality in Later Life01:44 Understanding the Motivations for Seeking Therapy06:53 Redefining Good Sex: From Okay to Magnificent12:06 Navigating Disappointment and Apathy in Relationships16:19 Body Confidence and Aging: Embracing Change23:09 Exploring Alternative Relationships and Sexuality27:47 Communication Tools for Sexual ExplorationUnlock even more pleasure, clarity, and confidence in your intimate life by becoming a paid subscriber.You'll gain full access to every weekly blog, the complete archive of 150+ expert-led podcasts, the private chat room for candid Q&A, and my 32‑page guide Sex Toys and Supplements for Thriving in Later Life.If you're ready to deepen your knowledge, explore new possibilities, and feel fully supported on your journey, upgrade today only £6.99/month or £49.99/year.I rely on your financial support to help produce each weekly episode of the podcast and blog post.

It's officially that time of year when the New Year buzz is everywhere. Your feeds are full of fitness goals, habit resets, and “new year, new me” energy.

Because you deserve to feel good in the body you have right now.

Join The Stronger Collective waitlist → www.thestrongerco.com Free Christian Fitness Resources → hub.simplefitnesshabits.com Most Christian women were never really taught how to think about sex, only what to avoid, fear, or feel ashamed of. So when marriage arrives, intimacy often comes with confusion, insecurity, and the lingering feeling that your body isn't “enough.” In this honest (and slightly uncomfortable—but in the best way) episode, Shaela opens the door to the real, grace-filled conversation Christian wives have needed for years. She breaks down the connection between body image, shame, spiritual formation, and intimacy, and why so many women struggle to feel confident when the lights go off and the covers come off. If you've ever wished someone would talk about sex without making it weird, clinical, or worldly… this one's for you. What's inside: Why so many Christian women feel awkward or ashamed talking about sex How purity culture shaped our beliefs about our bodies (and how to heal) The link between body confidence and intimacy in Christian marriage Why feeling “not attractive enough,” “not confident enough,” or “not spiritual enough” affects married intimacy more than you think How your fitness, self-talk, and emotional rhythms influence your sex life How to invite God into places of insecurity, embarrassment, and disconnection God designed intimacy to be good, not guilt-inducing. Healing begins when we gently confront the lies we've believed about our bodies and sexuality, and replace them with biblical truth: Your body is good (Genesis 1). Shame was never God's design (Genesis 2:25). Intimacy in marriage is holy, not embarrassing (1 Corinthians 7). Spiritual maturity doesn't mean avoiding hard conversations—it means inviting Jesus into them. Episode Takeaway Your sex life isn't separate from your spiritual life or your health journey. When you heal shame, nourish your body, and grow your confidence, intimacy becomes lighter, freer, and more connected. This is not about being “sexy.” This is about being whole.

Hey beautiful human! You were feeling good… until one scroll on social media made you question everything about your body. Sound familiar? Whether it's Instagram, TikTok, or even someone at the gym, comparison has a sneaky way of creeping in, stealing your joy, and convincing you you're not doing enough. But here's the truth: comparison doesn't just mess with your mindset, it can actually mess with your metabolism too. In this episode, I'm breaking down why comparison spirals hit so hard and how to break free so you can build real, lasting body confidence. We're getting into: How comparison triggers your stress response (and affects your sleep, cravings, and results) Why social media is designed to keep you feeling “behind” 5 tools to protect your mental space and stay focused on your growth How structured workouts and personalized nutrition help silence the noise The one truth about social media that instantly takes away its power If you've ever caught yourself feeling “less than” because of what someone else looks like online, this episode is your permission to step back and reconnect with your progress.

“I really felt like alcohol was the one thing that was keeping me from being the person that I wanted to be."If you've ever wondered how alcohol might be impacting your ability to show up fully in your life, or if you're just curious about making any change that feels a little scary, this episode is for you. I sat down with Sumner Brooks, a registered dietitian, mom, and author of How to Raise an Intuitive Eater, who bravely shares her story of quitting alcohol and how it changed everything from her mental health to her parenting and beyond.While we usually focus on food and body image on Diet Culture Rebel, today we zoom out to explore what it means to get curious about anything that might be getting in the way of living your fullest, most connected life. Sumner opens up about what finally made sobriety "stick” for her after years of trying, how vulnerability paved the way for real change, and the actual joy and presence she discovered in sobriety.We also talk about how ingrained alcohol is in our daily lives and our culture, what it looks like to navigate those familiar “Why aren't you drinking?” comments, and where food and alcohol are similar (and importantly, different) when it comes to compulsion, habituation, and addiction. Sumner's story is a powerful reminder that even if everything looks fine on the outside, you're allowed to want more peace and presence on the inside.No matter what you're working on - food, alcohol, or something entirely different - I invite you to go into this episode with curiosity and self-compassion. Sometimes, you don't even know when you need to hear something until you do.What You'll Learn:How Sumner realized alcohol was keeping her from showing up in the life she worked so hard to buildThe role of vulnerability and community storytelling in making big life changesWhy “mommy wine culture” is so normalized, and how that intersects with diet culture's mixed messages about food and alcoholHow reading other women's stories helped Sumner finally quit drinking for goodHow sobriety changed Sumner's relationship with herself, her parenting, and her ability to be fully presentThe real differences between intuitive eating and “intuitive drinking”, and why abstinence from alcohol is not the same as cutting out foodsThank you so much to Sumner for sharing her truth so openly and authentically. If this episode sparked anything for you about drinking, food, parenting, or just wanting more presence in your life, hold onto that curiosity and let it guide your next step, even if it's small.Check out Sumner's book, How to Raise an Intuitive Eater: Raising the Next Generation with Food and Body Confidence.Come back next week for another episode and connect with me over on Instagram at @diet.culture.rebel.Struggling with food, but not sure where to start?You don't have to feel 100% ready to get support.

A new generation of parents is waking up to how damaging social media can be for their teens' body image. But when used thoughtfully, it can also become a tool for body confidence and empowerment. Dr. Samantha DeCaro, PsyD—Director of Clinical Outreach and Education at The Renfrew Center—joins us to unpack how social media shapes teens' self-image. She shares practical tips on recognizing red flags for disordered eating, fostering body confidence, and creating a healthier digital environment at home. As Renfrew's national spokesperson, Dr. DeCaro is a trusted voice in the field, frequently featured in media, on podcasts, and at national conferences. She also co-hosts All Bodies. All Foods., a podcast dedicated to inclusive conversations around body image and eating disorders. For more on The Renfrew Center, visit @renfrewcenter.This podcast is presented by The Common Parent.

Okay, let's be honest… Some days, your body just feels... off. The jeans don't fit right. A photo catches you off guard. And suddenly, you're in a full-on spiral, questioning your progress, your worth, and whether anything you're doing is working. If you've been there (or you're there right now), this episode is for you. I'm walking you through five mindset shifts to keep in your back pocket for those low-confidence days, the ones where nothing feels quite right. These aren't surface-level affirmations. These are truth-based reminders that actually help reframe the way you show up for your body. Inside this episode, you'll hear: Why loving your body has nothing to do with loving how it looks What confidence is really rooted in (hint: it's not your size) How to unlearn the body shame you've picked up over the years Why care rooted in respect lasts longer than motivation rooted in self-criticism And why how you feel in your body will always matter more than how it looks in the mirror This is the episode to come back to whenever you feel disconnected from your body, discouraged by your progress, or just need a reminder that you don't have to be perfect to be confident.
