71. What to Do When You’re Freaking Out About Weight Gain


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m sharing what it looks like to stay grounded when weight gain brings up old fears or negative self-talk. Yes—even as a body image coach, I still experience moments of discomfort. I recently sized up in clothes (including a bathing suit!) and felt some of that internalized fatphobia creep in. But instead of spiraling into shame or dieting, I talk myself down with compassion, curiosity, and care—and I’m walking you through that process today.

You’ll hear how I check in on my physical and emotional health without judgment, how I reframe weight gain as a neutral body change, and how I make small supportive shifts without making it about shrinking myself. If you’ve ever felt triggered by the number on the scale or the size tag in your jeans, this episode is a soft landing and a reminder: you are allowed to take up space and still be fully worthy of care.
