  • S1: E6 I Am More Than My Numbers
    2025/07/01

    Let’s get real about numbers and how they’ve shaped (and sometimes shaken) the we see ourselves. From bra sizes to bank accounts, weight to relationship status, we carry a lot of stories about what those numbers mean. Now, it’s time to redefine your worth.

    Kimmay Caldwell, bra fitter and media company owner, shares the story behind the More Than My Numbers campaign: why she started it, how she funded it herself when no one else would, and what it taught her about self-worth. She will share how wrapping the measuring tape around other people in a bra fitting room for over 20 years, gave her a front row seat to people’s inner narratives. And how watching them break down over a size tag showed her just how deeply we’ve all been impacted by a culture obsessed with measurement.

    If you’ve ever felt defined by a number or avoided them altogether, this episode is a reminder that your worth was never meant to be calculated. Your size, salary, age, or GPA can change. But your value? That’s unshakable.

    Key Takeaways:

    Numbers Are Not Your Identity: From bra sizes to credit scores, Kimmay invites you to see numbers as neutral data not a definition of your worth.

    Why the Numbers Still Matter: Ignoring your size doesn’t protect your worth, it blocks your comfort. Learn how knowing your numbers can be an act of care, not shame.

    The Power of the Campaign: Learn how More Than My Numbers started as a DIY photo shoot and turned into a global movement that’s still changing lives today.

    Notable Quotes:

    “Your size is a starting point for support, not a verdict on your value.”

    “You can know your number and still know your power.”

    “I am not defined by a damn decimal.”

    2025/06/24

    In this heart-opening follow-up episode, we’re going even deeper with body image educator and photographer, Teri Hofford. This time, we get into the behind-the-scenes magic of Body Image Bootcamp and more. Together, we unpack how understanding your unique inner strengths can shift how you see your body, how oxytocin (even from snuggling your pet!) supports healing, and why rewriting what success means can feel like a breath of fresh air. In this conversation with one of my personal mentors, we’re talking about the squidgy, tender stuff like the thoughts that come up when we’re feeling too much, not enough, or just totally undone. Expect laughs, tears, and a few big “aha” moments as we peel back the layers and reconnect with our truest selves. Whether you’ve done body image work before or you’re just getting started, this episode will remind you that your body is not the enemy, your journey is valid, and healing is possible.

    Key Takeaways:

    Inner Strengths and Body Image: Teri shares how recognizing your personal strengths can impact the way you view and care for your body, plus Kimmay reveals the top 10 strengths that shaped her journey.

    Stay in Your Glow: Discover how honoring your own unique strengths (even if they’re different from others) can help you shine with more ease, clarity, and confidence.

    You Are Enough: Ever been told you're too much? We unpack how that message lives in our bodies and what it really says about our self-worth.

    Untold Stories from Mexico: From last-minute wedding invites to a stranger’s wedding in Mexico to raw, tearful moments on a retreat (that ended in matching tattoos!), Kimmay shares the very real, very human emotions that come up when we do deep inner work and lean into our strengths.

    The Real Deal on Retreats: Kimmay gets vulnerable about what really ran through her mind on retreat, and she and Teri open up about making room for those unfiltered human moments.

  • S1: E4 How to Say Hurray for Body Image with Teri Hofford Part 1
    2025/06/17

    In this episode of The Hurray Show, we’re talking about all things body image and the real, messy, beautiful journey of learning to see yourself with more compassion and curiosity. We sat down with body image educator and photographer, Teri Hofford, to unpack the uncomfortable, but necessary, journey toward self-acceptance. Teri shares her personal story, explains her signature ACE Method, and tells us how leaning into discomfort, or what she calls “squidginess”, can lead to the sacred invitation to grow.

    If you’ve struggled with body image or want to create more supportive spaces around it, this one’s for you. This episode is a gentle reminder that healing your body image isn’t linear or perfect and you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you're just starting to untangle old beliefs or you're deep in the work, the hope is that this conversation feels like a deep breath and a nudge forward.

    Key Takeways:

    Seeing Body Image Differently: Teri breaks down what body image really is and how it’s not about your body, but your beliefs about your body and your whole self. Learn how to identify and challenge your own body image biases.

    Body Image Isn’t Linear: Teri shares why moving from self-criticism to body neutrality using the ACE Method, not just body love, might be the next right step for you, especially when love feels out of reach.

    The Power of Squidginess: Learn why that discomfort, awkward feeling (aka "squidge") is actually a powerful sign that growth is happening.

    You Are Not Alone: If you’ve struggled to accept your reflection, this conversation offers validation, tools, and hope.

    Tools & Resources Mentioned:

    Body Image Bootcamp – Teri’s powerful program designed to help you unlearn harmful body beliefs and rebuild your self-image with compassion, curiosity, and confidence. https://bibcgonewild.com/
