When we feel gross and heavy in our bodies, we often hide.
We hide ourselves in baggy clothes (people would think we look disgusting if they saw our bodies) and eat in secret (because we “shouldn’t” be having cookies if we have weight to lose).
This episode dives into something that I did for many many years: hid myself. I hid my body, my emotions, and what I did with food.
Why?
Because I was afraid. If someone saw the “real” me, they’d be horrified or worse; they’d leave my life I was afraid of being unacceptable and not being enough.
But hiding only perpetuates the shame we feel about our bodies or what we do with food. It makes us feel smaller and makes our fears larger.
This episode challenges you to look deeper into where you’re hiding in your own life. Whether it’s how you dress, the way you eat in front of others, or the way you show up in the world…it’s a tender look at something so many of us do on this journey.
I hope it helps gives you the courage to let go of hiding and show up more fully just as you are 🙂
This was super helpful. I shy away from wear a swimsuit or a dress. I will except the challenge and at least try them on.
I’m glad you found it helpful 🙂 Keep me posted on how you do! It might require lots of self-talk at first 🙂 But that’s normal! XO
