Body dissatisfaction is something so many women struggle with. And here’s the thing: body dissatisfaction is not really about our bodies. It’s about the beliefs we’ve adopted about our bodies.

In this episode, I share two stories from my recent marathon training and racing season that reveal how even at our strongest, we can be sidelined by negative body thoughts.

We also dig into where body dissatisfaction comes from—how toxic Western diet culture and the media have trained us to value thinness over strength, and how we can start to take an honest inventory of the messages we're consuming daily.

Most importantly, I walk you through three mindset tools, grounded in CBT and DBT, to help shift the way you think about your body:

Focus on what your body can do, not just how it looks.
Recognize the cultural origins of body shame and filter your influences.
Practice radical acceptance and values-based living so you can start showing up now, not waiting for “after.”

You are more than a number on the scale. Your body is not an ornament—it’s an instrument. Let’s learn to live like it.
