In this episode of Beyond the Healing, host Dorcas Pittman sits down with registered dietitian and content creator Andrea Mathis for a real, unfiltered conversation about what it means to heal your relationship with food and your body.

Together, they unpack the impact of trauma, body shame, and societal expectations—and how healing requires more than just diet plans and gym routines. Andrea opens up about her shift from clinical dietetics to content creation, and how she found freedom through self-acceptance, mindset shifts, and learning to drown out the noise of unrealistic beauty standards.

They get into everything from the pressure to “look the part” as a wellness professional to the role fashion and representation play in reclaiming joy in your body. This episode will challenge you to stop tying your worth to your size and start honoring your body for what it is: worthy, right now.

If you’re tired of restrictive diets, shame-based health advice, and the weight of unrealistic expectations—this one’s for you.
