We have been conditioned to believe our worth is based on a number on the scale. On what our body can do. How it performs. On what it looks like. Even on how it feels.

For many, our insecurity is all encompassing—and it’s fed daily by an economy that proliferates and prospers off of us feeling like shit about ourselves. And in that constant, fear-gripped state of reactivity, we lash out and seek to control the thing society tells us contains our total worth:

Our bodies. 

It’s a pretty nasty tactic, but I gotta say, it’s working. In the United States alone, 20 million women and 10 million men suffer from clinically diagnosed eating disorders. And that 30 million doesn’t include those of us who are simply crippled by body shame, dysmorphia, or fall prey to our reactive, traumatic culture around looks. This is why loving yourself is a radical act. Because the odds are not in your favor here. 

In today's solo episode, I dive deep into how to cultivate a more loving relationship to your body. I share a bit about my experience, and offer some reframes and tools that I hope can serve.

If this episode resonated, share it, post it, leave a 5-star review... this will help get the podcast in more ears. And we want that, we want more souls getting Altared.
