Summer Innanen is a professionally trained coach specializing in body image, self-worth, and confidence. She helps people all over the world to stop living behind the numbers on their scales through her private and group coaching at summerinnanen.com. She is the best-selling author of Body Image Remix, host of the podcast Eat The Rules, and creator of You, On Fire – an online group coaching program dedicated to helping people get free from body shame. She also co-runs the Body Image Coach Certification program helping anti-diet professionals learn to work with clients around body image. In this episode, Summer discusses her personal journey breaking free from body shame and diet culture, steps people can take to heal their relationship with food, how she tackles the mental part of deconstructing and rewriting what we’ve been taught about our bodies and self-worth, the messaging in our media that reinforce these cultural beliefs, and the importance of giving ourselves compassion, respect, and love. Bridgett and Summer also discuss the importance of exposing ourselves to environments that show body diversity, how to spot warning signs for toxic health and fitness influencers and curate a following that makes you feel good about yourself, and how to make a bad body image day not turn into a catastrophe.
