61. BODY IMAGE: Reclaim Power by Questioning Harmful Diet Culture Narratives with Anti-Diet & Body Image Coach Katie Pijanowski
Show Notes

When you walk past a mirror, what is the first thought that pops into your head? 

For most of us, that voice is critical, demeaning and oftentimes, downright cruel. We cling to the perception of “If only…” If only I were thin enough/muscular enough/booby enough/thigh-gappy enough...then life will unlock in all the ways that I hope and dream about. 

In this week’s episode, I invite Katie Pijanowski to share her journey. Through her story, we tap into the wisdom she has unlocked about cultivating a lifelong relationship to our Body. 


What You'll Learn:

  • Where our beliefs come from and why we feel compelled to mold our bodies to fit the life we want
  • The pitfall of using “healthy” tools with a specific cosmetic outcome in mind
  • Shifting the focus of relating to the Body as an instrument rather than an ornament


Listen To This Episode If...

You are fed up with the current narrative around body image and want to forge a different way to relate and connect with your Body.
