Bodies Outside The Box

In this episode, I am joined by my very first guest: Bonnie Weeks—a bold, playful, deeply grounded voice in the yoga space based in Portland, Oregon.

Bonnie’s mission?
 To help people own the hell out of their voice and find freedom.
She’s someone who lives outside the box and invites others to do the same—with curiosity, creativity, and a whole lot of heart.

We talk about:

• Her love of yoga and creative sequencing
• Deconstructing and leaving the Mormon church
• Life after an amicable divorce
• Motherhood, identity shifts, and starting over
• Making a home within herself
• Embracing sensuality
• And nude photography as a liberation practice

This conversation is vulnerable, expansive, and full of permission.

You’ll leave inspired to live on your own terms, love yourself more radically, and maybe even take a few nude photos—for no one but you.

Is cycle syncing overhyped… or just misunderstood?
In this episode, I unpack the difference between cycle syncing and cycle attunement — and how learning to ebb with the flow of my cycle became a powerful part of healing my relationship with my body.

We’ll talk about:
 – What the four phases of your cycle actually look and feel like
 – How diet culture turned syncing into another tool for control
– Why it felt especially sticky for those of us with eating disorder history or disordered eating behaviors
– The truth behind PMS, energy shifts, and hormone changes
– Why cycle attunement is both deeply feminine and quietly rebellious

You’ll walk away with:
 – A simple understanding of your body’s rhythm
 – Practical tools to start tracking and attuning to your cycle
 – Permission to honor your energy without guilt
 – A new way to relate to your body: with trust, compassion, and curiosity

This isn’t about syncing perfectly, it’s about learning to listen.

Thanks for listening to Bodies Outside the Box.

In this first episode, I — Lizzie Fischer, Intuitive Eating Counselor, Body Image Coaching and yoga teach — share the story behind Bodies Outside the Box. How years of chasing weight loss, performing perfection, and living by other people’s rules led me to reclaim my body, my voice, and my power. From breaking free of diet culture, organized religion, and the good girl archetype to unpacking purity culture, body-shame, and perfectionism, this is the start of a bigger conversation about becoming who you were before the world told you to shrink. 

Body neutrality isn’t boring—it’s bold, grounded, and honestly... kind of sexy. In this episode, your host, Lizzie Fischer, breaks down what body neutrality really means, why it’s more sustainable than forced body-positivity, and how it can lead to real love and trust in your body (that actually lasts). Plus: a few ways to start practicing it, even if it feels out of reach right now. If you struggle with your reflection, feeling like your body needs to look different in order for you to feel how you wanna feel, or live the life you're so deeply desiring... this is for you.
