    358 // Can Body Positivity and Weight Loss Coexist? with Paula Atkinson

    In this episode of Health, Wellth & Wisdom, host and head coach, Nicole Hagen is joined by Liberation Psychotherapist and Body Justice Activist, Paula Atkinson for a powerful conversation about body justice, diet culture, weight stigma, and the complicated ways our society links thinness to health, morality, and personal worth. Nicole and Paula explore what it means to pursue health while honoring body autonomy, how binary thinking shapes our relationship with food and fitness, and why conversations about weight are often far more nuanced than social media makes them seem. Throughout this episode, you'll learn: What body justice and body liberation actually mean How societal pressures around thinness, beauty, and worth impact our relationship with food and our bodies Whether body liberation and intentional weight loss can coexist The role weight stigma plays in healthcare, wellness spaces, and everyday life How binary (all-or-nothing) thinking shows up in diet culture and disordered eating patterns Practical ways to cultivate more flexibility, nuance, and self-compassion around eating and body image This conversation explores the gray areas that are often missing from discussions about weight and body image. Whether you've struggled with dieting, questioned the messages you've received about your body, or simply want to better understand the intersection of health, autonomy, and social justice, this episode offers a thoughtful and compassionate perspective.

    In this episode of Health, Wellth & Wisdom, host and head coach Nicole Hagen dives into one of the most overlooked parts of the weight loss journey: what happens after the weight comes off.
