207. The Myth of the Summer Bod – Let’s Talk About Shame & Self-Worth


Listen Later

Tired of the pressure to “fix” your body before you can enjoy summer? You’re not alone. In this powerful episode, Dara tackles the harmful myth of the “summer bod” and why shame is keeping so many women stuck — mentally, emotionally, and physically. She shares how to shift from body hate to body connection, how to use neuroscience-backed visualization tools like Mind Movies, and how members of her program are losing weight and gaining confidence without relying on guilt.

You’ll learn:

  • The difference between guilt and shame (and why one’s helpful, the other isn’t)

  • How shame keeps you stuck in sabotage

  • Why pursuing weight loss from a place of fear backfires

  • What to do instead — using curiosity, connection, and care

Also in this episode:

💬 A personal story about my son’s comment on an old photo… and how I handled it 🧠 A brain hack called “Mind Movies” to help you visualize the life (and body) you want — without shame ❤️ Why one member in her 70s is finally loving herself while losing weight — without dieting

If this episode speaks to you, don’t keep struggling on your own. Book a free 20-minute call with me and let’s get to the bottom of your biggest block.

You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You’re just not using the right tools yet.

Let’s change that.
