If you have even been convinced that you needed to lose weight before you went after that next relationship, promotion or achievement of any kind, you are not alone. In this episode, we’re renegotiating the qualifications it takes to have a “successful” body. The answer? Making peace with the body you’re in right now. Erin walks us through her journey of overcoming an unhealthy relationship with food and self-image, and after years of diets, weight fluctuation, 12 step programs, and searching for a higher power…she’s here to assure you that you are more than capable of finding success and love at any size. Your body is not deviant, incorrect, or unlovable. And neither are you. 

Through this journey, we’ll be exploring subjects such as:

• How our belief systems and the narratives we allow our subconscious to tell us limit what we think we’re capable of in life 
• Overcoming the judgment of a gorgeous family that finds chubbiness unacceptable
• The reality behind trading your health and a normal functioning body to achieve what is ultimately a temporary ideal body shape 
• The dangers of internalizing the message “to be thin is to be lovable” 
• Unlearning the belief that it’s our job as women to control our weight and our bodies 
• Internalizing the truth that (shocker) men actually like women’s bodies, and not just one specific kind 
• Demystifying the dominance the scale has on the lives of many women, and realizing that those numbers mean absolutely nothing 
• Understanding that it’s important to live well and take care of your health, but that a large part of being well is not being so f*cking mean to yourself!
