This week on Thrive Beyond Size, Michelle dives into a growing narrative in the trauma-informed wellness world: that if you heal your trauma, you’ll lose weight.

While well-meaning, this belief is not only overly simplistic—it’s harmful.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why trauma can influence weight—but doesn’t always
  • What the ACEs study really tells us about trauma and health outcomes
  • How intergenerational trauma may shape body size
  • Why assuming fatness is always trauma-based reinforces stigma, not healing
  • The truth about emotional eating (hint: we all do it!)
  • How simply living in a larger body in a fatphobic world can itself be traumatic
  • Why searching for trauma to “explain” your body can backfire and deepen shame

And most importantly: you can be deeply healed and still live in a larger body

Michelle reminds us:

“Your body is not your failure. It’s not your fault. And it’s not unfinished business.”

If this episode gave you something to think about—or a little relief—please share it with someone who needs to hear it.
