Saul's story reminds us that transformation doesn't automatically remove the baggage we've carried for years. Though God changed Saul's heart and anointed him as king, he still hid among the baggage of fear, insecurity, pride, and the approval of people. In contrast, David left his baggage with the baggage keeper before running toward God's calling. This message challenges us to stop carrying the burdens of our past and trust Jesus, the true Baggage Keeper, who invites us to lay down every weight so we can walk freely into the purpose He has prepared for us.

Stepping on the scale can keep you informed, but it can't build the habits that create lasting change.Real accountability isn't just about reporting a number once a week. It's about the choices you make when no one's watching. It's showing up on the hard days, learning from setbacks instead of quitting, and creating routines you can actually stick with.Join us for this week's Tuesday Talks as we dive into what accountability really looks like, why the scale only tells part of the story, and how shifting your focus from outcomes to daily actions can completely change your journey.

(00:00) — First spark for medicine: Medical kit, microscope, and a fascination with how life works.(03:01) — Surgical tech discovery: How a quarter-life crisis and financial strain led Karen to a trade-school OR program during a UCLA gap year.(06:58) — Working and studying simultaneously: Managing OR swing shifts and on-call hours while finishing the last two years at UCLA.(12:35) — The seven-year gap explained: Graduating in 2019, pandemic disruptions, and repeated delays to the application timeline.(14:25) — Weighing other healthcare careers: Why nursing and PA didn't fit, and what finally locked in the MD decision.(17:39) — Turning down the first acceptance: The financial reality of a new DO school without federal loan eligibility and a 12.5% private loan rate.(23:53) — Rebuilding the application: Retaking the MCAT, rewriting the personal statement, and changing the entire strategy.(28:31) — Early decision to one school: Why Karen applied to a single out-of-state program and what happened when the early decision answer was no.(34:28) — The acceptance call in Hawaii: What it felt like to hear yes after years of setbacks.(38:09) — Medical school so far: The scope of what an MD degree actually opens up.(42:10) — Final words for struggling premeds: What persistence looks like in practice.Karen path to medical school did not follow a straight line. She left UCLA after financial pressure began dragging her GPA down, spent a year and a half earning a surgical technology certification, worked in hospital operating rooms on swing shifts and on-call hours, and completed a medical mission abroad — all before finishing her undergraduate degree. When she finally applied to medical school, she got in. Then she said no, because the school's private loan interest rate was 12.5% and it was not yet eligible for federal financial aid. She spent the next cycle rebuilding her application from scratch, retaking the MCAT, rewriting her personal statement, and applying via early decision to a single out-of-state school. The acceptance call came while she was standing in an airport in Hawaii. In this conversation, Karen talks candidly about the self-doubt that stretched her timeline, the financial realities that shaped her decisions at every stage, and what finally made the difference in her second application cycle.What You'll Learn:- How a surgical technology program can provide deep clinical experience that strengthens a premed application- Why new medical schools may not qualify for federal student loans and what that means for applicants- How to decide whether retaking the MCAT is worth it when your existing score is already competitive- What changes Karen made to her personal statement the second time that she believes made the difference- Why applying to fewer schools with stronger fit can be a more effective strategy than applying broadly

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open their Tuesday, July 7, 2026 show by revisiting Monday's card, where a first five innings call on Atlanta cashed even as the Braves bullpen later surrendered an eleven run ninth inning, while a three star Dodgers team total over covered a wild extra innings win over the Rockies. From there the two work through a full Tuesday baseball slate, starting with Milwaukee and St Louis opening a day night doubleheader behind Jacob Misiorowski, before turning to a headline matchup between the Chicago Cubs and Baltimore Orioles, where Matthew Boyd opposes Shane Baz. Both hosts lean toward Chicago after examining Boyd's strong run support and Baz's fly ball tendencies coming off a heavy pitch count start. The conversation moves to Sacramento's trip to Detroit, where J.T. Ginn faces Tarik Skubal, with the hosts split between concerns over Ginn's recent home run rate and Skubal's own workload questions after a 104 pitch outing. Atlanta's visit to Pittsburgh draws a long discussion of both bullpens, with Hurston Waldrep opposing Paul Skenes, and Munaf ultimately backing the Pirates on the money line despite a rough recent stretch for the Pittsburgh ace. Boston and the Chicago White Sox follow, with Payton Tolle against Noah Schultz, and both hosts landing on the home underdog White Sox given a hot recent stretch and command questions surrounding Tolle. A rapid tour of the rest of the card touches Arizona and San Diego, Cleveland and Minnesota, Seattle's trip to Miami, and a Houston and Washington matchup featuring Tatsuya Imai and Andrew Alvarez, along with starts from Zach Wheeler, Trevor McDonald and Michael Lorenzen. After a quick mention of a new Pregame.com discount code, the show pivots to football for the latest entry in its NFL win total series, a detailed breakdown of the Pittsburgh Steelers heading into 2026. The hosts walk through an offseason that brought a new head coach in Mike McCarthy, the return of Aaron Rodgers for a final season, and a retooled receiving corps built around DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr, Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth. Weighing an accomplished pass rush duo in TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith against an aging offensive line and a defense leaning on veterans, both hosts land on the over for Pittsburgh's eight and a half win total, pointing to a favorable schedule and a division full of first year coaching staffs. The episode closes with Tuesday's best bets, an over in the Arizona and San Diego game from Dave and a Marlins money line pick from Munaf built around a dominant home pitching performance, before the two tease Wednesday's show and its look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In today's episode, I talk to the older version of myself that's really struggling, feeling really bad, anxious, overwhelmed and unhealthy. The version of me back in 2021 that was still drinking way too much alcohol, overeating, restricting, dieting and feeling desperate that nothing was working. I tell her what to do and what to stop doing. If you're struggling right now, if you're going around in circles, this one is for you. Click play and let's dive in.

In this episode of the Future Learners podcast, Brett Campbell and Ellen Brown tackle the question underneath almost every parent’s worry right now: how do I prepare my child for a world that is changing faster than the one I grew up in? The short answer is that preparing children for the real world is less about facts and figures and more about the skills a curriculum alone rarely teaches, and homeschooling gives families the time and space to build them. Brett and Ellen walk through six real-world skills the Euka program is built to develop: financial literacy and entrepreneurship, independent thinking, self-awareness and reflection, hands-on real-world experiences, connecting learning to the world around them, and responsibility and self-management. Along the way they share practical, do-it-today ideas any parent can use, from letting a five-year-old scan the groceries to understand money, to a nightly gratitude check-in, to the simple “this or that” trick that helps a child feel ownership over their own choices.

Key Points The six real-world skills covered Financial literacy and entrepreneurship, Grade 7 and 8 business studies where students run their own small business, building into a practical Grade 9 and 10 financial literacy program covering budgets, tax, and how money actually works. Developing independent thinkers, lessons written directly to the student, plenty of hands-on activities, and a “why this lesson matters” section so children see the relevance before they start. Building self-awareness and reflection, a reflection section at the end of every lesson, achievement certificates, and an upload space so students can look back on what they have made with pride. Creating space for real-world experiences, volunteering, work experience, and the everyday curiosity that the slower pace of homeschooling makes room for. Connecting learning to the real world, teaching children to weigh opposing views, question a single source, and stay curious about the world around them. Developing responsibility and self-management, age-appropriate ownership, from doing their own washing to organising their own weekly timetable. Practical ideas any parent can use today Let young children scan a few grocery items to learn how money and barcodes work. Give a small daily reward tied to completed lessons so children learn the value of earning something. Run a nightly gratitude check-in, and lead by sharing your own first. Use “this or that” choices so a child feels ownership over their decisions. Why preparing children for the real world starts outside the curriculum The starting point Ellen and Brett keep returning to is that the world today’s students are entering is not one where memorising facts is the thing that makes them successful. It is about how they think, not just what they think. “The world that our students are going into isn’t a world where facts and figures and things like that are going to be the thing that they need to take with them to become successful in their future. So it’s about looking outside of the curriculum.”— Ellen Brown, co-founder and Head of Education, Euka Brett frames the urgency around change. As the world moves into an AI-infused future, he argues families will see more change in the next three years than many have seen in decades. That can feel daunting for a parent, but he is clear it is an opportunity, not a doomsday, and the job is to prepare children to think and adapt rather than simply to remember. Financial literacy and entrepreneurship The first skill starts in Grade 7 and 8 business studies. Rather than only learning how a business works in theory, Euka students start their own small business and look at a different part of running it each week, from marketing one week to budgets the next. Ellen shared a real example from a parent she spoke to recently, whose Grade 7 daughter runs a ragdoll cat breeding program from home and applies what she learns in her business subject directly to it. Brett is careful to say this is not about turning every child into a business owner. It is about the lessons entrepreneurship teaches, whether that is a lemonade stand or simply understanding how commerce works. His everyday example is letting his five-year-old scan a few items at the shops to learn how money and barcodes work, and where the food on the plate actually comes from. “When you pay, you pay attention.”— Brett Campbell, CEO and co-founder, Euka That principle carries into the Grade 9 and 10 financial literacy program, which covers the practical money knowledge many of us wish we had been taught: what tax is, what happens when you buy a car, and how to build and stick to a budget. “It’s that real practical financial literacy that, I guess we all take for granted, and then of course when you’re a young person you’ve got no idea.”— Ellen Brown Developing independent thinkers The second skill is built into the way Euka lessons are written. From the foundation program, lessons are written directly to the student, even before they can read, so the child feels ownership over their learning rather than being talked at through a textbook. Two other design choices support this. Plenty of hands-on, practical activities give children room to try things with their hands and develop their thinking without a boundary around it. And a “why this lesson matters” section in the introduction helps a student see the value of what they are about to learn before they start. Brett connects this to a bigger idea: children who have everything done for them can end up unprepared for adult life. He shares the memory of a friend whose parents did everything for him, and who struggled with the basics of running a household when he finally moved out. “Anything that your child can do, you should probably get them to try it and do it and practice it.”— Brett Campbell His caution to parents is that giving a child everything, without any ownership attached, can quietly build entitlement. The more useful question is not what you can give them, but whether they understand and are prepared for the real world. Building self-awareness and reflection The third skill is one Brett describes under the umbrella of emotional intelligence: helping a child first understand how they feel, and then learn to regulate it. Ellen points to the practical tools inside the Euka program. Every lesson ends with a reflection section where the student picks an icon for how they felt, happy, frustrated, bored, and that small habit helps them notice patterns and act on them. “It’s about getting them to think of themselves as learners and reflect on their learning experience and improve it, because that’s the kind of thing they’ll take on into the workforce.”— Ellen Brown There is also an upload space after practical activities, so a student can look back on a diorama or poster they built and feel genuine pride in it, plus achievement certificates each term. The slower pace of homeschooling, Ellen notes, is what gives families the time to reflect together in the first place. Brett’s at-home version is a nightly gratitude check-in with his daughter. The key, he says, is to lead by sharing your own first rather than forcing gratitude, because that models the behaviour instead of demanding it. Creating space for real-world experiences The fourth skill is about the experiences that time makes room for. For Ellen, this was one of the biggest draws of homeschooling, and her family did Meals on Wheels together when her children were little. “What the kids got out of that was seeing where people live, how much just spending a few minutes talking to somebody can mean to someone.”— Ellen Brown She contrasts the packed after-school schedule of soccer, dance, homework and bed with the breathing room homeschooling can offer, room for volunteering, work experience, or a child simply pulling things apart to see how they work. Brett’s thread is that real-world experiences quickly show a child where their real interests and abilities lie. He wanted to be a professional athlete growing up, but experiencing it taught him the gap between natural ability and the work required to break through. “Putting yourself in real world experiences quickly shines a spotlight on where your areas of opportunity lie.”— Brett Campbell His encouragement to parents is to pay close attention to what their children are drawn to, even a video game, and ask why they love it, because there are usually clues in it worth pulling a thread on. Connecting learning to the real world The fifth skill builds on the first two. Brett describes how, as children grow into independent and critical thinkers, they start to question a single source of information rather than accepting it at face value. His practical tool is teaching children to look at the “steel man” of the opposing view, so they learn there is usually more than one side, and that beliefs can and should change when new evidence appears. “Being able to be fluid and not rigid and dogmatic on your thinking is a very, very important skill to bring into the big wide world.”— Brett Campbell Ellen’s example is meeting her first homeschooled teenager, who had a strong sense of self and an awareness of local issues that surprised her. She sees homeschooling as an opportunity to live in the real world rather than being cocooned from it, so young people grow up engaged with what is going on around them. Developing responsibility and self-management The sixth skill is responsibility, and Ellen’s view is that children often love the ownership it gives them. Her kids have done their own washing since they could press a button, and by their teenage years that responsibility was simply part of who they were. “If the worst thing is you can’t find some clean knickers, then you’ve learned that lesson the hard way and you’ll work that one out.”— Ellen Brown That same principle extends into managing their own weekly timetable when homeschooling, and reflecting on what did and did not get done. Brett’s practical trick for younger children is “this or that”: offering two choices rather than an instruction, so the child feels ownership over the decision. “She’s not being told what to do. She’s now making the choice herself, which feels like she’s got this ownership over it and it’s her decision.”— Brett Campbell Answered Questions Real questions Australian parents ask about preparing their children for life beyond the curriculum. What life skills does homeschooling teach that a standard curriculum might miss? + Brett and Ellen focus on six: financial literacy and entrepreneurship, independent thinking, self-awareness and reflection, real-world experiences, connecting learning to the world around them, and responsibility and self-management. Their argument is that these skills, more than facts and figures, are what prepare a child to think and adapt in a fast-changing world. How does Euka teach financial literacy and entrepreneurship? + In Grade 7 and 8, students take business studies and start their own small business, looking at a different part of running it each week. This builds into a Grade 9 and 10 financial literacy program covering practical money knowledge like budgets, tax, and what happens when you buy a car. How can I teach my young child about money at home? + Brett’s suggestion is to let them scan a few items at the shops so they learn how money and barcodes work, and where things come from. He also gives his daughter a small daily reward tied to completed lessons, so she learns the value of earning something rather than being given everything. “When you pay, you pay attention.”— Brett Campbell How does Euka help children become independent thinkers? + Lessons are written directly to the student, even before they can read, so the child feels ownership over their learning. Plenty of hands-on activities and a “why this lesson matters” section help children see the relevance of what they are learning before they start. What is a simple way to build self-awareness in my child? + Every Euka lesson ends with a reflection section where the student picks how they felt, which helps them notice patterns over time. At home, Brett suggests a nightly gratitude check-in, and leading by sharing your own gratitude first rather than forcing it. How does homeschooling create space for real-world experiences? + The slower pace of homeschooling gives families time for volunteering, work experience, and following a child’s curiosity, experiences that a packed after-school schedule can crowd out. Both hosts see these experiences as one of the fastest ways for a child to discover where their real interests and strengths lie. Why This Episode Matters Preparing a child for the real world is not mainly about how much they can memorise. In a world changing as quickly as this one, the skills that matter are how a child thinks, reflects, and takes responsibility, and those are exactly the skills a curriculum alone rarely has time to build. Homeschooling gives families the time and space to build them deliberately, from financial literacy and independent thinking through to real-world experience and self-management. And most of it starts with small, everyday moments any parent can create. Your Family, Your Journey Choosing to homeschool for your senior year is a genuinely viable option with Euka Future Learning.

We all have to deal with tricky dilemmas and situations from time to time, the kind which we just can't seem to get out of our head, that keep us up at night.

A volunteer on stage. A backpack filled with rocks. Labels reading grief, loss, regret, shame, worry, disappointment, unforgiveness. And the visible, undeniable picture of what it looks like when we carry those things. The weight slowing every step, changing our posture, bending us forward under a load we were never meant to bear. Heidi Vegh draws from a moment at a grief retreat that stopped the room, and invites us to ask an honest question: what are we choosing to put in our backpack each morning? Because that is the truth Isaiah 43:18-19 points us toward. God is doing a new thing — but we have to give Him space to do it. Joseph chose to release the weight of betrayal, slavery, and suffering, declaring that what others intended for harm, God had intended for good. That same God of restoration is available to us today. When we lay down the rocks at the foot of the cross, the grief, the shame, and the regret, we don't walk away empty. We walk away lighter, freer, and ready to be filled with His peace, love, and purpose. Our pain is not wasted. But we do have to let it go. Bible Verse "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!"— Isaiah 43:18-19, NIV Ponder Today What we carry is a daily choice. Every morning we decide what goes into our backpack. Shame, regret, grief, and unforgiveness don't stay there on their own — we put them back in, often without realizing it. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. When we choose to dwell on past mistakes and carry shame, we are picking up a rock that the cross already broke. You have been forgiven. You do not have to carry what Christ has already taken (Romans 8:1). God can use everything you have walked through for good — but you have to give Him space. Joseph's story is proof that even the deepest betrayal and suffering can be redeemed. Surrender is what opens the door to that redemption in your own life. Laying down your rocks is a process, not a single moment. Heidi's prayer acknowledges this honestly — letting go requires endurance and trust, not just a one-time decision. Give yourself grace for the ongoing nature of surrender. A lighter backpack doesn't mean an empty life — it means room for peace, love, and purpose. When you stop filling your days with what hurts, God fills that space with something far better. You were made to walk with a lighter step and a more purposeful posture. A Prayer for You Today Lord, my backpack is heavy, sometimes too heavy to bear. I long to walk in freedom from my past, from difficult circumstances, and from the weight I carry every day. Remind me to leave these rocks at the foot of the cross instead of placing them back in each morning. I choose to believe You are a God of restoration and peace, that You can take the ugly and regretful parts of my story and make them into something beautiful. I open my heart to You, inviting You into the deepest places that hold bitterness, resentment, regret, and grief, and I ask that You replace them with Your peace, a peace that surpasses all understanding. Give me the endurance and trust to fully surrender, and to walk in the freedom that only You can give. In Your precious name, Amen.

Join The Real Science of Sport Supporters club for ad-free listening and our exclusive weekly Applied Science show! A monthly donation is all takes!This week's Spotlight opens in Paris, where Roland Garros has delivered one of the most chaotic and compelling Grand Slams in recent memory, and ends on a Las Vegas track with a promise of $10 million unlikely to be fulfilled. Along the way, we explore retirements and comebacks, bike weight scandals, regulatory issues and a surprising way to boost your red blood cells.In today's Show:For the first time in the Open era, not a single former Grand Slam champion reached the men's round of 16. Ross and Gareth try to make sense of a tournament turned on its head by epically long five-set matches, multiple two-set-up defeats, and the emergence of potential new stars to challenge the duopoly atop men's tennisSinner is gone, Djokovic is gone, and the heat played a starring role. We revisit our applied show on heat adaptation to explain exactly why Sinner's implosion was both predictable physiologically, but surprising in its speed and persistenceSerena Williams has accepted a wildcard to play doubles at Queen's at 44. We explore the motivations for her return, and discuss why elite athletes retire in the first place? A thread on Discourse sparked by James gets us exploring the psychology and physiology of retirement, and why the grind we don't see is often the causeIn cycling, Lorena Wiebes was disqualified from the women's Giro after her bike allegedly weighed in 20 grams under the UCI's 6.8kg minimum. Was the punishment proportionate? Is the UCI's measurement process up to the required standard? Are SD Worx guilty of playing it too close to the limit? We discuss.A Belgian court has ruled against the UCI's attempt to impose gear ratio limits on the sport, finding the regulation neither necessary nor proportionate. We explore the implications well beyond cycling, and ponder how the UCI's failure to present a clear justification for the regulation was ultimately its undoingTilting your bed by six degrees could raise your EPO levels by 13% and increase hemoglobin mass by nearly 5%. Ross unpacks a genuinely fascinating new study, explaining why the mechanism is the same as altitude and heat training, whether the effect will be additive in athletes, and whether elite athletes are already quietly propping up their headboardsA carbohydrate question from supporter Tony ahead of his national canoe championships: does glycogen depletion in one muscle group affect availability elsewhere? Ross explains the elegant logic of local storage and use, the lactate shuttle, and why liver is the unsung hero of endurance fuellingAnd Finally, the Enhanced Games have announced a $10 million bonus for anyone who breaks Usain Bolt's 100m world record at their 2027 event. We discuss whether that will be enough to entice the truly fast man to race, doped or clean, and what it might mean for athlete's participation in the Olympics following an Enhanced Games Hosted on Acast.

Flight nurse Claire Barnett joins host Jana Price on Nurse Converse to share one of the most intense survival stories in flight nursing.Claire is a quadruple board-certified emergency nurse and the chief flight nurse for an international medevac company. About a year and a half ago, she and her trainee partner accepted a flight to pick up a young man with possible hantavirus. The plan was solid. The weather looked manageable. Then everything changed.Fifteen minutes into the flight, the storm closed in behind them. The pilot was forced to land in the middle of nowhere as a blizzard rolled over them. With a critically ill patient, limited oxygen, no cell service, and search and rescue unable to reach them, Claire had to make decisions that went against every protocol she had been trained on — including giving Ativan to slow her patient's breathing and save what little oxygen they had left.This episode is about more than survival. It's about what flight nurses face every shift, the weight of being someone's only hope, and the six Navajo search and rescue heroes who spent five hours building a road to reach them. Claire also shares the advice every new nurse needs to hear: don't lose your voice.Jump Ahead: 00:38 — Welcome and introducing Claire Barnett01:45 — From concrete dispatcher to nurse: the story that started it all04:27 — Why flight nursing was always the dream06:01 — The setup: a young patient with possible hantavirus09:00 — Weighing the storm and the patient's oxygen needs11:30 — At the bedside: hypoxic, tachypneic, alert and oriented13:00 — Lift-off and the storm closing in14:30 — Landing in a whiteout in the middle of nowhere17:00 — The oxygen problem and an out-of-protocol decision20:19 — The RAM cannula and the BiPAP workaround22:00 — Giving Ativan to slow the patient's breathing24:21 — The helicopter confessional26:00 — The call to prepare for the worst27:30 — Headlights in the storm: the Navajo rescue team29:00 — Wrapping the patient and sliding down the mountain30:30 — Claire's first intubation in the back of an ambulance32:30 — What it feels like knowing every flight could be your last36:07 — Claire's advice to new nurses: don't lose your voice37:30 — The nurse who became a nurse because of Claire38:44 — Closing thanksListen now at nurse.org/nurseconverse.For more information, full transcript and videos visit Nurse.org/podcastJoin our newsletter at nurse.org/joinInstagram: @nurse_orgTikTok: @nurse.orgFacebook: @nurse.orgYouTube: Nurse.org

It's now abundantly clear that not only are the Georgia Republican Party's two Senate options of poor candidate quality with mid-20th century 'Jim Crow' vision, they're corrupt. Even worse for the Georgia GOP, they're golden boy - governor Brian Kemp - has been pulled into the woodchipper and exposed as well. With good local journalism disappearing - even in major hubs like Atlanta - it's important to pay attention to when it's still covering stories like these. The whole "Dooley-Kemp-other Dooley money funnel" story brought to light last week by WXIA-TV's Doug Richards was actually touched on in a Substack piece by Georgia Politics & Polling (no author named). Still, hat-tip!That sullies the already mediocre shine on the campaign of failed football coach Derek Dooley, son of UGA football legend Vince. It's also tarnished the perception that Brian Kemp is an unblemished 'rising star' with 2028 aspirations. Rep. Mike Collins, however, has long seemed to have issues with the company he keeps - notably his chief staffer and campaign manager Brandon Phillips. If Brandon's not making repulsive statements about rape victims being "sloppy seconds," he's making sure his girlfriend gets paid via taxpayer dollars through an internship where she did nothing. Then there's another staffer - Kip Talley - working double-time to free a Holocaust-denier - and bragging he'd do so in a group chat.A whole lot of 'ick' on that run-off ballot.- - - Speaking of run-offs, I'd opted not to weigh in on Georgia Democratic run-offs because I don't see bad options; but the lieutenant governor's race calls for commentary. Listen, I've no issues with ambition, but former Senator Nabilah Parkes put hers above her constituents, and her debate performance did little to make her look as a) a superior choice or b) a likable candidate (and she's a likable person, so that's baffling). Leaving your post is one thing; leaving the middle of a General Assembly session is another. Trying to explain that your absence means nothing because the other side is the majority and will ram new maps through anyway smacks of 'defeatism' and her opponent, state Senator Josh McLaurin is right to point that out.

Ever feel like the number on the scale determines whether it's a good or bad day? You're not alone. While the scale is just a tool, for a lot of us, it has become the thing that decides how the whole day goes. That kind of hold does not come from nowhere. It builds over years of being taught that the number means something about you, your discipline, your worth, your right to feel good in your own skin. In this episode, we'll put into light a conversation most women have only in their heads and would never say out loud. We get into how a better body image IS possible even when scale anxiety is high, and how the SHIFT framework can play a role in helping you promote a better relationship with yourself and your body. In this episode, you'll learn: How to get over your scale obsession by identifying the story you carry every time you step on the scale Why how you feel seconds after seeing that number influences your mood and daily choices more than you think and how to take back control How to use the SHIFT framework to rebuild your self worth, eliminate scale anxiety and improve the relationship with your body What body acceptance can look like when loving your body is not yet on the table How to set small, tangible goals that make healing feel less overwhelming Why weight fluctuations are not a verdict on who you are What to do when you don't know how to stop weighing yourself and what to do instead How the most challenging parts of this healing process are signs of positive changes This conversation doesn't  pretend that body acceptance and healing your self worth is a straight line. So, if you're ready for something more honest and grounded, we invite you to step into this episode before stepping back on that scale Let's rebrand wellness together!
