Episode 538: When Your Body Feels Foreign to You


Listen Later

You look in the mirror and something feels off — not just different, but unfamiliar. Like you're living in a body that used to be yours and isn't quite anymore. There is a way through this that doesn't involve hating yourself into change.

The body changes of midlife are real, physiological, and not a failure of discipline — but the story we tell about them can either deepen the struggle or create the conditions for genuine care. Courtney reframes the mirror moment as a portal to a more sustainable relationship with your body, and offers a daily practice that starts with honest acknowledgment rather than contempt.
