Body image, wellness, and the perfectionism trap
Wednesday, 14 January, 2026
Why "healthy habits" can make us feel like we're failing — and how body image, perfectionism, and all-or-nothing wellness get tangled together. Feel like you need to earn body acceptance through your healthy habits? Let's talk about the all-too-familiar spiral—when the things we do to support our health start to feel like they're never enough… and our body image takes the hit. In this episode, we're unpacking what happens when body image struggles get wrapped up in our "healthy habits"—and how easy it is to feel like we're failing when those routines shift. What we cover: Why tying health behaviors to body changes can backfire How to spot all-or-nothing thinking in your routines - and how to build in flexibility instead What acceptance-based therapy actually means Boundaries, balance, and the beauty of ebb and flow If you've felt this way, you're definitely not alone - listen in!
