Cam and Elle gained some “happy weight.” Now what?
This episode is a roadmap for navigating sensitive topics that may make your loved one feel insecure… inspired by our real life, because we’ve been indulging in pizza and ice cream since Elle quit her job!
We enjoyed every meal that got us here, we have no shame, and weight gain is perfectly fine. ❤️
We roleplay 3 situations – like when your partner gains weight or goes out to the club a lot – and how to explore the root of these behaviors from a place of curiosity, rather than shame or judgement.
We also discuss what makes sensitive topics so difficult, how releasing shame around weight helps you get healthier faster, how excessive behavior is filling an emotional need, why you should center your own changed actions when making a request to your partner… and so much more.
Note: Stay tuned for the glow up over the next few months, because we’re going to get healthy while loving our bodies at every single stage. No shame necessary, baby! ❤️
