255: Things diet culture stole from us—and how we’re getting them back. I’m joined by my friend Danielle Dietzek, Nurse Practitioner and Co-founder of the dating app PlotTwist, to unpack our messy experiences with disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and self-worth. Together, we open up about calorie counting (hi MyFitnessPal), over-exercising, family comments, and the way comparison shaped our twenties. We also talk about recovery, therapy, and what it actually looks like to heal your relationship with food, your body, and yourself. This conversation is raw, vulnerable, and extremely honest—the kind we both wish we heard when we were struggling. If you’ve ever battled negative body image, diet culture, or felt stuck in the cycle of “discipline,” this episode will remind you you’re not alone. As always, take whatever resonates & leave the rest. LOVE YOU x
