If your body couldn’t change no matter what—how would you show up for yourself?

This follow-up episode dives deeper into one powerful question that left Maria reeling (in the best way). What if your body stayed exactly as it is—forever? Would you still hit the gym? Would you live off chocolate cake? Would you finally wear the bikini?

We talk honestly about body acceptance, the difference between looking good vs. feeling good, and how our motivations shape our behaviors. Spoiler: even the experts have off days, skipped workouts, and regret eating 700 M&Ms. You’re in good company.

In this episode:

• What it really means to feel good in your body
• Why chasing physical changes isn’t the only path to wellness
• The truth about intuitive eating (no, it’s not just eating cake all day)
• The evolving, messy, beautiful relationship we all have with food and fitness
• Permission to be imperfect—and show up anyway

"I just want to feel good in my body this summer." Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

What does that really mean? And more importantly, does it always have to involve changing the way you look? In this episode, we explore this through personal stories, struggles, and redefinitions of what it truly means to feel good in your body. We peel back the layers of societal expectations, internalized body shame, and toxic summer body narratives.

Whether you're dealing with physical discomfort, emotional burnout, or that persistent inner critic telling you you "need to lose 15 pounds," this episode will help you reframe what feeling good actually looks like — on your own terms.

In this episode:

• What it really means to "feel good in your body"
• Why body confidence doesn’t require body change
• How diet culture and discomfort are tied together
• The power of calling out judgment in others (and ourselves)
• Replacing negative self-talk with facts and self-compassion
• Movement and nourishment as tools for feeling better
• The game-changing question: What would you do if changing your body wasn’t an option?

If your life were a recipe, these three ingredients would be non-negotiable.

In this episode, Maria, a mental health therapist, shares the three foundational elements that every woman needs to thrive — self-worth, self-esteem, and self-love — and explains how a lack of these essential ingredients shows up in our daily lives through burnout, people-pleasing, self-doubt, and overgiving.

Together, we explore what each of these concepts really means, how to recognize where you might be running low, and how to start rebuilding your internal foundation, not for others, but for you.

In this episode:

• The difference between self-worth, self-esteem, and self-love — and why all three matter
• How low self-esteem shows up subtly (and not-so-subtly) in your career, relationships, and health
• Real-life stories that reveal what happens when you don’t know your worth
• Why women often resist rest, joy, and slowing down (and how to change that)
• How to audit your relationships and protect your energy
• The game-changing mindset of treating yourself like someone you're dating
