In this episode of Freedom to Nourish, I talk about the New Year, New You pressure and why changing your body is not the answer. I explain how toxic diet culture ties to appearance and keeps people stuck in chronic dieting and the comparison trap.

I share a simpler reframe. Growth does not come from weight loss. It comes from connection, rest, boundaries, and living in a way that feels supportive.

I just want you to hear this. You do nothave to earn rest or belonging. You are allowed to grow without being hard on yourself.

💚 ASK YOURSELF

What would actually support your life this year, not just how you look?
