About this episode
You didn't arrive at war with your body on your own. Someone — or something — put you there. And if you've been fighting that battle for most of your adult life, this episode will finally name what's actually been happening.
I explore the quiet but powerful belief system that gets installed in most women before they're old enough to question it — the idea that the body is a problem to be solved, a project to be managed, a thing to be fixed before real life can begin. I unpack why this belief is so stubborn, why it masquerades as health and discipline, and why so many women can intellectually agree that they need to stop being hard on themselves — and still go home and do the exact same thing they've always done.
If you've ever felt like you were doing everything right and still couldn't get out of your own way, this is where the real conversation begins. Not with a protocol. Not with a plan. With the truth about what's actually been running the show.
