About this listen

For years, I thought the only way to love my body… was to shrink it.

I chased skinny like it was the golden ticket to confidence, worth, and finally feeling enough. But no matter how small I got, it was never enough. I was exhausted, anxious, and constantly calculating. Because chasing skinny isn’t really about the size—it’s about control, safety, validation… and a whole lot of fear.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the moment everything shifted.

When I stopped asking “How small can I get?”
And started asking “How strong can I become?”

✨ Inside this episode:

  • Why chasing skinny never gave you the freedom you were promised
  • What “chasing strong” actually means (and why it’s not just about lifting weights)
  • The emotional & physical shifts that happen when you start fueling, resting, and respecting your body
  • How to start rewriting your goals—from self-punishment to self-trust
  • The exact mindset reframe that changed my entire relationship with food, fitness, and my body

This isn’t about giving up.


It’s about finally choosing a life over a look.
It’s about building strength—not just physically, but emotionally.
It’s about feeling powerful, present, and at peace in your body—for real this time.
