Weighing In On Happy

For the majority of my life, my only goal was to be skinny and pretty. Society had told me that if I achieved these two things that I would be happy. But this was a lie, and I've had to go on a journey to discover what true happiness is and distinguish it from what society will try to convince you it is.

One of the key things that helped me in my journey was seeing that it was possible to be happier in my life in a larger body and that I could truly find freedom on the other side of recovery.  Social media which had been my enemy for a long time, having fallen into the compare and despair game, quickly became my savior as I sought out other accounts of women speaking about diet culture, educating on intuitive eating and looking so damn happy while simply living their life without restriction.  One of those accounts that changed my life was that of Rini Frey! Rini battled her eating disorder for over 12 years and made it her mission to share her experiences around intuitive eating, eating disorder recovery, and body image by creating the wildly popular online platform Own it Babe.  Today we have a conversation on food freedom as Rini and I discuss: factors that led to developing an eating disorder importance of community in recovery correlation between mental health and eating disorders&nbs

We often want what we don't have because we think we'll be happier once we get it, but is that true?  My entire life I chased my "dream body" which for me meant a smaller body thus requiring weight loss.  Since this always alluded me I was truthfully resentful towards other petite women and as a result, I wouldn't be their friend. Over the years I have rewritten this once all-consuming narrative and today want to share with you how I circumnavigated it as well as what the same issue can feel like when you're on the other end of the body size spectrum. In this episode,  I have an open and honest conversation with my small and petite friend Taryn Raine on what life is ACTUALLY like being in a smaller body. We discuss: when struggles aren't being recognized due to body size the impact of size on emotional intelligence and maturity being seen as feminine and desirable how judgment and body shaming is holding us back Plus much more!
