Episode #193: How to Drop Body Shame from Weight Loss in 2026

Summary 

In today’s episode, I’m having a conversation that’s been on my heart for a long time: how to drop body shame from your weight loss journey without giving up on your goals. As we head into a new year, it’s easy to approach health and body goals from a place of punishment—and I want to show you why that never leads to results that last.

I’m sharing personal stories from my own journey and breaking down why hating your body (or the process) quietly keeps you stuck, and how it’s possible to hold compassion for yourself and still want meaningful change.
