Listen to The Elephant in the Room: Weight Gain and a Podcast Pause on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts
This episode feels so bittersweet, because it’s going to be my last one for a while. This has been an extremely hard decision for me, because I’ve built an incredible community since starting my podcast. Whether this is the first episode you’ve tuned into, or you’ve been with me from the beginning, I just want to let you know how truly, TRULY grateful I am for you, and how near and dear you are to my heart! I don’t think this will be goodbye forever in this space, but more of a goodbye for now.
While a podcast pause is happening, we’re also talking about the elephant in the room today. I’m not necessarily making fun of myself here (but..I kind of am too). I recently had someone comment on my weight - specifically, telling me I’ve gained weight. Even though this was really difficult to hear, it’s also true, because I HAVE gained weight. Fortunately, I already know how important it is to take care of our inner child, and do the necessary work to care for and love ourselves and not relying on others to do so. Ultimately, I want you to know that you are ALREADY enough, and worthy, and loved - no matter your weight or size. Please continue to show up as your unique, vibrant, and magnetic self, because no one can take that away from you!
In this episode, The Elephant in the Room: Weight Gain and a Podcast Pause, we chat about:
An amazing speaking opportunity + retreat I was able to experience in Mexico
Thinking about your inner child/the little girl version of yourself, and what she would love about you now as an adult woman
Random messages from strangers on the internet that make all of your insecurities and negative beliefs come flooding back in
Why we MUST have radical self acceptance and self compassion so we won’t be easily hurt and brought down by the outside world
