If slowing down makes you spiral…
If rest feels wrong unless you’ve “earned” it…
If you keep calling yourself unmotivated when really? You’re mentally and emotionally drained...

This episode is your wake-up call.

Because it’s not about willpower.
It’s not about discipline.
It’s about the lie you were taught: that your worth is something you have to prove.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• Why you can’t stop hustling, even when you’re burned out
• How your “motivation problem” is actually a worthiness wound
• The nervous system shift that changed everything for me
• And five ways to start detaching your value from your productivity — without the guilt

You don’t need to do more.

You were never supposed to hustle for your healing.

You were never meant to earn your rest.

There’s this picture-perfect version of recovery that gets talked about everywhere: eat the fear food, delete MyFitnessPal, take the rest day, love yourself more. But let’s be real — that’s only half the story.

This episode? Is the other half.

The grief no one prepped you for.
The identity crisis that hits when you let go of control.
The loneliness of realizing your old routines were actually your entire personality.
The confusing days when you miss the version of you that was hurting — because at least she felt safe.

I’m sharing the messy, uncomfortable, painfully real parts of recovery that almost broke me… and the exact truths that put me back together.

If you’ve ever wondered why healing doesn’t feel like healing at first — this one’s for you.

Because it’s not that you’re doing it wrong.
It’s that no one warned you how brave it would have to be.
You’re doing better than you think. 💜

In episode 7 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we’re going there:

Can you want to lose weight and still say you’re healing your relationship with food?

You’ve probably been told you can’t. That having body goals means you’re still stuck in diet culture. That true healing means giving up on weight loss forever.

But what if that’s not the full story?

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

👉🏼 The real difference between wanting change from shame vs. self-respect
👉🏼 Why suppressing your goals doesn’t make you healed—it just makes you disconnected
👉🏼 How to pursue physical goals without losing your peace, joy, or food freedom

If you’ve ever felt ashamed for caring about how you look… this one’s going to feel like a deep exhale.

You don’t have to choose between healing and wanting more for yourself.

And today? I’ll show you how to hold both.
