Sarai leads an unapologetic, eight-minute somatic release for anyone taught their body is wrong. It’s not a mirror pep talk—it’s a way to drop the fight and land back in your skin.

The flow:

1. Shake — Stand up, loosen every joint, and shake like you’re flinging off years of judgment. Feel every ripple as proof you’re alive.
2. Sound — Growl, curse, scream “NO” or “FUCK THIS,” and spit out every body-shaming comment you’ve ever swallowed.
3. Anchor — Hands on your belly, breathe, and whisper: “This body is mine. It deserves to exist exactly as it is.” Notice your heartbeat and soften a little.
4. Surrender — Feel your body now, safe in a warm, heavy blanket. No punishment. No negotiations.

Takeaway:
Each time you do this, you retrain your nervous system to see your body not as an enemy, but as home—and you get to live here, fully, without apology.

Sarai delivers a straight-talking, no-sugarcoating mini-episode on body acceptance affirmations for people who are done with self-hate but can’t force the “love every inch” mantra. Drawing from her own three-decade battle with an eating disorder, she explains that for her, body love began with acceptance—allowing her body to exist without punishment, even on bloated, uncomfortable, or insecure days.

You don’t have to feel beautiful all the time to treat your body with care and respect. Body acceptance is calmer, sustainable, and rooted in gratitude for what your body does, not just how it looks.

Key affirmations:

• My body is not a project. It’s my home.
• I am more than my reflection or size.
• My legs are strong as hell—they move me through life.
• My arms hug, hold, and support me.
• My belly is not a flaw—it’s a soft place for living.
• I don’t have to love every part of me to stop waging war against myself.
• My worth is not tied to my shape or weight.
• I am allowed to exist without earning it through thinness.
• My body deserves nourishment, rest, and pleasure.
• I will not apologize for taking up space.
• My body has carried me through hell, and I’m grateful for it.
• I’m not here to be smaller—I’m here to be alive.

Closing takeaway:
Body acceptance isn’t a one-time destination—it’s a daily choice, especially when the old body-hating voices resurface. Sarai encourages listeners to use these affirmations to carve new mental pathways, quiet the inner critic, and remember: you are enough, and your body is not the problem.
