    48 - This is why you hate your body, and five steps to change that.

    In this episode, I dive into the deep end of body acceptance and body image, just in time for summer. Have you found yourself caught in the cycle of wanting to ditch dieting yet feeling the urge to diet when it’s time to wear a bathing suit? You’re not alone. Summer is about making epic memories—adding that cute dress to your cart, riding bikes to get ice cream, and enjoying family time at the beach without self-consciousness. It's about going out with friends, laughing until your belly aches, and having seconds of your aunt’s famous macaroni salad at the BBQ without a second thought. Because you are worth doing the work for. Learn how to embrace your current body with Summer Vibes: Embracing Your Body.  Books I refer to: Fearing the Black Body, Dr. Sabrina Strings The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf Fat Talk, Virginia Sole-Smith

    44 - Self Care is a Systemic Issue

    Today, we’re rethinking self-care beyond the typical advice. Instead of quick fixes like candles and matcha, real self-care addresses the systemic burdens, especially on women. We carry the unpaid labor and mental load, managing kids, elderly care, and household chores, often leading to burnout. True self-care isn’t just about meditation or yoga; it’s about fiercely protecting our mental and physical health, setting boundaries, and asking for help. It means holding onto our true selves and not shape-shifting to fit societal norms. Audre Lorde’s words, "Caring for myself is not self-indulgent, it's self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare," capture this perfectly. In this episode, we chitty-chat about: 🎧Why the overwhelm you feel is not your fault 🎧That self-care is a bandaid on a bigger issue 🎧How to actually preserve your wellbeing and kick-ass
