“…every time we feel like we hit a dead end, that’s where the real growth happens.”
In today’s episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, we’re diving into the messy, unpredictable transitions that life throws at us—and how unraveling long-held beliefs about our bodies, food, and self-worth can lead to a deeper sense of freedom. I’m sharing some big updates: from the joy and chaos of welcoming a new puppy to the highs and lows of training for the Great World Race. But more than just personal stories, we’ll explore how these moments of change can help us challenge the ingrained ideas we’ve carried for years—particularly the toxic beliefs surrounding body image and perfection.
As we unravel these beliefs, we begin to see how life’s unpredictable moments can be opportunities for growth. Whether it’s falling behind on a goal, feeling overwhelmed by change, or managing the constant mess that comes with a new puppy, these experiences teach us that it’s okay to let go of control. Just like with body image and food, we’re not meant to have everything perfectly planned out.
You’ll hear how setbacks in my race training forced me to rethink my approach to progress and success. Instead of feeling discouraged by injuries and delays, I’ve learned that it’s not about perfection, but about showing up—even when things aren’t going as planned. This mirrors the journey of recovery from unhealthy body image, where every step forward, no matter how small, counts toward a bigger healing process.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How unraveling beliefs about body image can lead to greater freedom and self-acceptance
- Why life’s unpredictable transitions can be powerful tools for healing from diet culture
- The lessons I’ve learned through training setbacks, and how they parallel recovery from unhealthy body image
- Why letting go of perfection allows you to embrace life’s messiness and find joy in the journey
If today’s episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear how you’re navigating your own recovery journey. Don’t forget to subscribe for more episodes focused on breaking free from diet culture and embracing a healthy relationship with your body and life.
