In this light-hearted episode, host Cheryl Hall leads a "closet rebellion" by applying unDIETING principles to your wardrobe. Discover how diet culture hides in your clothes, turning "someday" sizes into emotional clutter, and learn practical ways to let go for more confidence and freedom. Cheryl shares her personal story – including why most ill-fitting clothes won't magically improve with size changes (with jeans as her one adaptable exception!). It's all about undieting your style: trusting what fits and feels great on your body now, not chasing ideals. Perfect for anyone tired of wardrobe guilt.

This Week's Challenge: Launch your mini closet rebellion with an undieting twist: Spend 15 minutes auditing your wardrobe. Try on three "someday" items – if they don't fit or feel great now (based on your body's signals, not size labels), ditch them with gratitude. Spot any exceptions (like Cheryl's jeans) that still spark joy? Keep 'em! Notice how undieting your closet shifts your mood and confidence and share your experience in the comments on the blog or socials.
