Saturday, 9 May, 2026

Before you decide you need to lose weight, cut carbs, start over, get stricter, shrink yourself or “finally get your body together”…I need you to hear this episode!You know that moment where you’re exhausted, overstimulated, emotionally wrung out… and suddenly you’re standing in front of the mirror thinking…“I HATE my body”“I need to get back on track”“Something has to change”So the mental spiral begins. Calories. Steps. Cutting carbs. Starting over. Fixing yourself.But what if your body was never actually the problem?In this episode, I’m unpacking the hidden pattern of body scapegoatingWhere hidden stress and big feelings get redirected onto your body because it feels like the easiest thing to controlSo if you’ve ever spiralled about your body after a hard day or stressful week, felt the urge to diet every time life feels overwhelming or found yourself trapped between body obsession and binge/restrict cycles and can’t quite put a finger on why…this episode will probably shine some light on what’s underneath thatWe’re talking about:why your body becomes the emotional punching bag (and subtle signs you’re taking stress out on your body)the real reason “fixing your body” never creates lasting peacehow dieting and control behaviours become coping mechanismsthe overlap between body image distress and emotional dysregulationwhat to ask yourself to stop next Monday turning into another “start over” momentIf you recognised yourself in this episode and you’re tired of constantly trying to fix your life through your body, this is exactly the kind of work we do inside coaching so you can make peace with food and your body, enjoy your one life and pass that relationship onto your kids - apply here
