EPISODE 115: "Every Summer I Promise Myself I Won't Need to Hide In A Coverup. Every Summer I Do."

May 12, 2026

You've tried every diet. You know exactly what to eat. And you're still wearing a cardigan in 95-degree heat because you don't want anyone to see your arms.

 

Coach Steph and I are calling it out—the hiding, the sideline-sitting, the vacations you didn't book, the sandcastles you didn't build—and we're giving you a real way out.

 

What we cover:

• Why your brain is literally wired to keep torturing you about your body (and the one thing that actually interrupts it)
• The "neutral language" trick that dials down self-criticism without making you feel like a liar
• Why losing the weight won't fix the voice in your head and what will
• How to show up at the wedding, reunion, or beach trip without waiting to be a smaller size first
• The photo rule that makes it easier to stop hiding from the camera

 

You don't have to love your body to enjoy your life. That's actually the whole point of this episode.

 

Your kids want you in the sandcastle. Your friends want you on the trip. Go listen.
