In this solo episode of The Body Grievers Club, Bri unpacks the bargaining phase of body grief: the space between wanting to accept your body and still believing, maybe I can fix this.

She breaks down her working definition of Radical Body Acceptance, the willingness to receive your body as it is, not as you wish it to be — and explains how diet culture conditions us to think acceptance comes only after weight loss or “health.” Through personal stories, including her grief journey, dating experiences, and lessons in neuroplasticity, Bri shows how to get unstuck from bargaining and move toward real, sustainable body acceptance.

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to accept my body, but…” this episode is for you.
