How I Ditched the Scale, Faced Body Trauma, and Found Natural Health
If you’ve ever felt defined by a number on the scale, this episode is for you. I share my raw journey from being labeled in middle school to navigating years of self-neglect and body image trauma. The turning point? Realizing I couldn't restrict my way to health. I detail my pivot in late 2023: asking, 'What movements and foods make my body feel good?' This shift, which includes integrating cycle-synced yoga and strength, was the key to sustainable weight loss, genuine vitality, and finally leaving body shame behind.
