In this episode, hosts Jeremy and Zach talk with Katie Bramlett, founder of We Shape, about why the number on the scale holds so much power over our self-image and self-worth. Katie shares her insights on body image, diet culture expectations, and tips for cultivating self-acceptance regardless of your weight.

Topics Discussed:

• The scale as a source of validation

• Cultural messaging about ideal body weight

• Linking self-worth to a number

• Moving from self-loathing to self-love

• Listening to your own body's needs

• Exercising for enjoyment rather than punishment

• Toxic diet culture and false fulfillment

• Finding community and human connection

• Living with purpose and joy

• Developing inner peace and self-acceptance
