Let’s read that again and let it really sink in.

I took most of the summer off, because I needed some serious recharging.

When was the last time you checked in with yourself? Unmet needs have a way of showing up as stress, resentment, or exhaustion. Meeting your needs isn’t selfish—it’s how you stay grounded and whole. ✨

Take a moment and ask yourself: What’s missing for me today? What do I need right now—and am I honoring it?

Sign of Low Self-Regard: Moralizing Food

You call yourself “good” for eating a salad and “bad” for eating fries. You celebrate skipping meals and punish yourself after dessert. You chase thinness like it’s the highest virtue and apologize for your appetite like it’s a character flaw.

👀 That’s the Sweep-It Move:
You’ve been conditioned to believe “good women” are small—quiet in voice and body. You’ve learned to ignore hunger, label food as shameful, and treat eating like a moral scoreboard. The goal? Be less.

🔁 Try the Speak-It Move:
Begin by dropping the judgment. Food isn’t good or bad—it’s simply food. Your worth isn’t measured in calories. Start saying:
“I trust my body to tell me what it needs.”
“I’m allowed to eat and enjoy this without shame.”
You get to nourish your body and delight in it. There’s power in presence, even at the dinner table.

💭 Want to be bolder?
Focus on savoring the next thing you eat—without multitasking or mentally calculating how you’ll “burn it off.” Just you, your food, your body, and a moment of trust. Bold women don’t restrict to feel worthy. They tune in, take care, and take pleasure.

Practice savoring and enjoying what you’re eating, not earning what you’re eating.

🧹 The Sweep-It Move vs. 🗣️ The Speak-It Move

Sign of Low Self-Regard: Criticizing Your Body

“My belly is disgusting.”
“Ugh, look at my arms.”
“My b***s used to be cute.”

👀 That’s The Sweep-It Move:
You zoom in on perceived flaws, thinking shame will motivate change. (Spoiler: it won’t.)
You treat your body like an enemy you have to fight, rather than a partner that's been carrying you through your entire life.

🔁 Try The Speak-It Move:
Catch yourself. Take a breath. Say,
“This body shows up for me every day.”
It keeps going—through stress, heartbreak, exhaustion, and joy.

💭 Want to go bolder? Try:
“My body is not the problem. It’s part of my story—not the whole of who I am. And I’m learning to treat it with the respect it deserves.”
