This week on Take Care of Your Body by Ry, I sat down with powerhouse women’s health coach Jess Nisenbaum (@jessfitnessenbaum) to talk about what it really takes to step into your dream life.

We got real about:

💪 Why women need to stop playing small — in health, mindset, and their goals

🥑 How to build habits that actually last (no more quick fixes, no more yo-yo cycles)

🔥 The mindset shift from “I want to get smaller” to “I deserve to get stronger & build the life I love”

💖 Learning your body’s “love language” — and why honoring it is the key to confidence, energy, and freedom

This episode is your wake-up call to stop waiting, stop doubting, and finally start chasing the life you keep saying you want.

🎧 Tune in — because your glow up isn’t coming from another diet… it’s coming from you.

Why does social media make us feel like we’re never enough? 🪞✨

In this week’s episode of Take Care of Your Body by Ry, I sit down with Megan—a bodybuilder, fitness coach, and body image advocate—to talk about the pressures we face in the age of constant comparison. Together, we peel back the layers of how beauty standards have evolved: from centuries of obsession with control and “purity,” to today’s curated feeds and impossible ideals pushed by the industry.

This conversation isn’t about blaming ourselves—it’s about understanding the systems that profit off our insecurities, and learning how to step out of them. Megan brings her personal journey and expert lens to remind us that strength, health, and worth aren’t defined by a filter or a number.

If you’ve ever scrolled through your feed and felt “less than,” this episode will feel like a deep breath of truth.

What happens when we stop shrinking ourselves to fit someone else’s story? In this raw and empowering conversation, I’m joined by my friend Morgan Norman — intuitive eating coach, self-love advocate, and founder of The Self Love League — to talk about all things body image, objectification, and reclaiming our power.

We’re pulling back the curtain on the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways society treats women’s bodies like public property, and how that constant scrutiny shapes our confidence, self-worth, and even our relationships. From the way strangers comment on our appearance, to the media’s impossible beauty standards, to those everyday moments that make you want to shrink into the background — we’re breaking it all down.

Morgan shares her journey from chasing an “ideal” body to living in food freedom and radical self-acceptance, plus actionable tools you can start using today to protect your energy and own your body, your story, and your worth.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to change yourself to be loved, or that your value was tied to your appearance, this episode will feel like a deep breath and a permission slip to take up space unapologetically.

This week, Ry is joined by SAG-award-winning actress and mental health advocate Aesha Waks, aka Bubblegum Girl from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, for a powerful, wildly honest conversation on what it really means to grow up in the spotlight—and then fight your way back to yourself.

From red carpets to healing rooms, Aesha opens up about:

• Body image in the entertainment industry

• The emotional toll of performance culture

• Reclaiming softness and sanity after chaos

• Why she became a certified mental health counselor

• And how she’s now helping others rewrite their stories, too.

This is for the girls who’ve ever felt like they had to perform strength when they were barely holding on. For the artists, the over-thinkers, and the soft ones learning to survive in a hard world.

When the Mirror Became a Battleground

What if everything you believed about diet culture’s origins was only the surface?

In Part 2 of this groundbreaking series, Ry and French PhD student Kellie Giordano go even deeper—unearthing how centuries of spiritual sacrifice, patriarchal control, and historical shame quietly shaped the way we see our bodies today.

This episode explores:

✝️ How saints’ fasting rituals became twisted into early blueprints for disordered eating

🌹 Why femininity, food, and worth were tangled long before Instagram

📿 The spiritual pressure placed on Catholic girls through the myth of purity

🧠 When anorexia went from divine to diagnosable—and what that shift means

💸 How diet culture thrives as a billion-dollar industry fueled by fear, control, and consumerism

💔 Why so many of us grieve the birthdays, holidays, and milestones we couldn’t fully enjoy—because food became the enemy

This isn’t just history. It’s personal. It’s political. It’s a reclamation.

It’s time to take back the narrative—one bite, one belief, one brave conversation at a time.

This one’s for the girls who’ve been told they’re “too sensitive,” “too dramatic,” or “too much”—when really, they’ve just been carrying too much for too long.

Together, we open up about our experiences navigating body image, the pressure to be palatable, and what it really means to take up space when you’ve spent your whole life trying not to.

Expect softness, honesty, humor, and a little healing. ✨

We talk recovery, resilience, and the power of unlearning everything you were told about your worth.

💌 Whether you’re on a body image journey, healing from hurt, or just need to feel less alone—this one’s for you.
