Ever have one of those mornings where nothing feels right? Your clothes don’t fit the way you want, or a glance at an old photo sends you into a spiral of self-criticism? If you’re navigating midlife or perimenopause, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I sit down with body image expert and coach Summer Inanen to explore how hormonal shifts, societal pressures, and life stressors impact how we see ourselves. Summer shares her journey and offers practical, compassionate strategies to help you embrace body neutrality, quiet the inner critic, and reconnect with your worth beyond appearance.

Summer’s podcast- Eat the Rules- has over 300 episodes and was one of the early influences in my own body acceptance and intuitive eating journey. I think you’ll understand why when you listen to this conversation!
