Diet culture, baby culture, hustle culture. Same game, different playing field.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In every area of life, there will always be competing views.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But there’s only one you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So when you feel overwhelmed by information, that’s usually your cue to pause.
Take a step back, and lean into your own inner wisdom.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It took me time to learn how to prioritize my needs, anchor into my values, and trust myself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To realize I don’t have to carry other people’s beliefs, fears, or rules.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s why, instead of telling my clients what to do, I coach them through how to reconnect with their own intuition and build real self-trust, so they can make decisions that actually fit their lives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The goal is to feel so secure in who you are that you don’t spiral and feel guilty or ashamed when someone else talks about their diet, their weight loss, or their method for putting their baby to sleep.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💬 What’s one area of your life where you’re practicing trusting yourself a little more? 👇🏼

PS. If you’re new here, hi! 💁🏻‍♀️ I’m Natalie, a therapist and coach helping women let go of food & body fixation to build inner security and unconditional self-worth.

There’s a difference between wanting to be thin, and feeling like you NEED to be thin to feel safe, confident, desirable and worthy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s why body changes feel like such a threat. Because it feels like you’re losing who you are, control, protection.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When your mind feels threatened by body changes, you’ll spend more time ruminating over these changes versus appreciating what your body does for you now and every day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this week’s podcast, we’re breaking down how limiting the “skinny identity” is and how to detach from it so that you can build true lasting safety and confidence in your body. You deserve to actually enjoy all the special moments in your life, despite the changes that may be happening to your body.

We can blame how we feel about our body on unrealistic beauty standards that are outside of our control, but at the end of the day, if you’re holding yourself to that impossible standard, that’s what needs to change.

If you’re eating more freely and body changes feel like an emotional freefall, this episode is for you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m joined by former client and CommunEATy member Ashley Hyland for an honest conversation about what it actually takes to detach self-worth from body size, and release the “skinny identity” that keeps so many people stuck in food and body obsession.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We talk about the two shifts that made the biggest difference for Ashley: rewriting core beliefs and having real community support. Together, those changes allowed her to move through photos, weddings, and being seen with confidence and genuine joy, without spiraling or shrinking herself.

Sometimes the sign that it’s time to work on your relationship with your body isn’t how it looks—it’s how much space it takes up in your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You might notice your mood is more fragile than you’d like. You’re easily irritated, flat, or overwhelmed, and you’re not always sure why.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You think about food more than feels normal or necessary. There’s guilt, second-guessing, or mental math, even when you’re “doing everything right.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You struggle to stay present. Conversations, intimacy, social moments, or work events are happening, but part of you is distracted by your body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You pull back when you don’t feel good in your skin.
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’re successful, capable, and outwardly healthy… yet your body still feels like something to manage, monitor, or get “under control.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The good news is, this IS something you can improve without dieting, fixing, or shrinking yourself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ If you want support with feeling more comfortable and at peace in your body, I created a free resource to help you get started.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the five episodes of the 5 Steps to Body Peace Podcast Challenge, I’ll show you:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Why eating less isn’t the answer to body confidence, and what is
2. How to shift your inner narrative about your body
3. How to soothe emotions without blaming your body
4. How to be in your body instead of a critical observer
5. How to feel good about who you are beyond appearance

The messy middle is that stage where you’ve done a lot of the physical healing: eating well, letting go of restrictive behaviours, becoming more flexible.

And now… 🥁 the actual body image healing can begin!

The inner work can look like:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Regulating your emotions healthily
✅ Exploring your needs, interests, and desires
✅ Building self-trust
✅ Expanding your sense of identity beyond your body and physical appearance
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s not about loving your body 100% of the time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, it’s about learning how to stay with yourself through the hard moments, build yourself up when you feel down, and take steps toward feeling at ease in your body and your life.

That’s what confidence really is.

Perfectionism is a coping mechanism that works in some ways, and can be devastating in other ways. For example, perfectionism may have helped you feel worthy, accepted, accomplished, powerful and admired, but it doesn’t actually guarantee that you’ll never face rejection, criticism, failure mistakes or adversity. It can leave you feeling burnt out and useless. It can prevent you from showing up as your authentic self and feeling loved for who you truly are.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Perfectionism and disordered eating go hand in hand. Many people find that challenging their perfectionism helps them become more flexible with their food and exercise routines.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Healing from perfectionism requires a fundamental shift in the way you view food, your body, yourself, others, and the world. Start by letting the little things be “good enough.” Because you are good enough. And perfect doesn’t really exist.

EXPLORE GOALS HERE 👇🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⏳Replacing the time, mental energy, and space currently spent on food and body-related behaviours (e.g., calorie counting, checking labels, planning food and exercise, body checking) with time spent living your values: learning a new language, trying new restaurants, making plans with friends and family, traveling, being spontaneous.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌮Sharing more meals with people in your community, while focusing on connection and memories instead of the type or amount of food.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏊 Experimenting with different types of joyful movement (e.g., dancing, swimming, rock climbing) rather than sticking to movement that feels obligatory or controlling.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👗Experimenting with different styles of clothing—dressing for comfort, self-expression, or just simply something different than the usual.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🛝Scheduling time for play — doing activities purely for fun, curiosity, or pleasure, not to achieve, optimize, or “work on” yourself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These goals come straight from women inside The CommunEATy, my small group-coaching membership focused on food freedom, self-acceptance, and unconditional self-worth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Comment or DM me COMMUNEATY and I’ll share the details!✨
