Have you ever found an old piece of clothing, slipped it on, and felt a wave of sadness when it no longer fit? That’s body grief—the longing for a past version of yourself and the struggle to accept where you are now. In this episode, I sit down with Body Peace coach Nina Manolson to unpack why these moments hit so hard and how to navigate them with more kindness and less self-judgment.

We dive into the emotional weight of body changes, why comparison keeps us stuck, and how shifting from body shame to body peace is a practice—not a destination. Nina shares powerful insights (and a beautiful poem) to help you stop fighting your body and start feeling at home in it, no matter your size or stage of life. If you’ve ever wrestled with body image in midlife, this conversation is for you.
