Therapist Shannon Ricks shares about her journey through chronic illness, perfectionism, and faith transition—and how learning to listen to her body instead of fighting it became the foundation for healing. Drawing from her personal story and clinical experience in eating disorder recovery, Shannon shares insights on body neutrality, intuitive eating, and self-compassion. She also explores how beauty standards and perfectionism affect society, and how we can help the next generation develop a healthier relationship with food, body image, and self-worth.  

This was such an interesting, insightful, and fun conversation, and we’re so grateful Shannon joined us on the podcast.
