In today’s episode, we’re talking about something that comes up constantly in the world of body image healing: why people feel so entitled to comment on other people’s bodies. Seriously, people say the stupidest sh*t sometimes, and it can be so frustrating and painful, especially when appearance is already such a tender subject.

I’m diving into the deeper psychological and cultural reasons these comments happen, from diet culture conditioning to anxiety, comparison, power, and inherited scripts that people never question. Not to excuse it, but so you can finally feel in your bones that it was never about you.

And most importantly, we’re talking about what it actually takes to stop carrying what was never yours in the first place, and how real body confidence is built from the inside out.

In this episode, I’m joined by Alyssa Goldwater, author, plus size advocate, and such a powerful voice in the Jewish Orthodox world.

Alyssa shares her personal story of unlearning diet culture, healing her relationship with her body, and what it really looks like to step into acceptance and freedom.

We also talk about the beautiful work she’s doing through her children’s book Every Body Is, and how we can begin raising kids with a completely different foundation than the one so many of us grew up with.

This conversation is honest, grounding, and full of hope. I’m so glad you’re here for it.

In this episode, I’m sharing an excerpt from a live workshop I co-hosted with healer and teacher Raizel Devorah Masail called The Art of Seeing Light. We explore why so many women can see the beauty in others but struggle to see it in themselves, and how that disconnect impacts confidence, sensuality, and spiritual connection. This conversation weaves together body image, spirituality, and femininity, and invites you to see the body not as something to fix or bypass, but as the portal to deeper connection and light.

In this episode, I sit down with my client Adi, a creative entrepreneur and single mom who hustled for years before joining The New Sexy. We talk about what it means to stop hustling for worthiness, come home to the body, and release the self-criticism that once drove everything. We also explore the coaching industry, shame, and what becomes available when you start caring for yourself from a place of love instead of trying to prove yourself.

In this episode, I have the honor of speaking with my client Zipporah Ruth, an embodiment coach for women. She decided to join The New Sexy after noticing challenging thoughts about her body, including moments when she even considered plastic surgery, thoughts that didn’t align with how she wanted to see herself or who she knew herself to be.

In our conversation, we explore the unexpected gap she uncovered in her healing, the subtle ways deservingness and self-fixing were still influencing her choices, and what shifted for her inside TNS that helped her trust herself again and feel at true peace with her body exactly the way it is.

This episode is an honest look at knowing your worth and looking confident vs. actually feeling it in your body.

In this episode, we’re talking about why we compare our bodies and how we can start to shift it. I break down what’s actually happening in the brain and nervous system when comparison kicks in, where it really comes from, and how this same instinct shows up when we compare ourselves to past versions of our own bodies. We’ll look at the research behind comparison, why it can feel so painful, and how you can begin to move out of comparison and into real confidence and safety in your body without trying to “fix” or change it.

Today on The Body Image Revolution, I’m joined again by my amazing client Najma. You may remember her first episode, where she shared about her healing boudoir experience after losing her partner.

In this conversation, Najma opens up about what has unfolded since then—leaving burnout behind, reconnecting with her body, and stepping into her power through The New Sexy. Her honesty and courage shine through, and her story reflects the heart of this work: releasing old stories, building confidence, and finally feeling at home in your skin.

In this solo episode, I reflect on one of the most challenging years of my life and how I’ve felt about myself through it. As the New Year approached, I found myself asking: “With what you were given, did you utilize your potential?” In this conversation, I share what that question opened up for me—and how you can begin accessing your own potential by seeing the light, goodness, and beauty within yourself.
