TW: This episode includes discussion of body image, weight, eating disorder recovery, sexual abuse, medical procedures, and women's experiences with body-based judgment and objectification. Listener discretion is advised.

Women are taught early that our bodies are projects.

Something to improve.
Something to shrink.
Something to manage.
Something to earn approval through.

In this deeply personal episode, we unpack the complicated relationship women have with their bodies and the messages that shaped it from childhood comments and beauty standards to workplace expectations, intimacy, confidence, and self-worth. We share our own experiences with body image, weight, health, trauma, and the realization that so much of life can be spent waiting to become "acceptable."

This isn't a conversation about loving every part of yourself every second of every day.

It's a conversation about what changes when you stop treating your body like a problem to solve.

Thank you for listening to NDA!
