What happens when the person you see in the mirror suddenly feels unfamiliar?

In this conversation, Lizzie Fischer (Intuitive Eating Counselor and Yoga Teacher) sits down with yoga teacher Jen Brewer to explore how our relationship with our bodies evolves over time—especially through menopause, aging, and major life transitions.

Jen shares her perspective after more than a decade of teaching yoga, reflecting on how yoga culture has changed, the pressure many women feel around body image and wellness, and the deeper system of yoga beyond flexibility, exercise or self-improvement.

They talk about the experience of not recognizing your body during menopause, the vulnerability of teaching movement while navigating your own body changes, and the freedom that comes from swapping constant self-improvement for self-awareness and self-acceptance.

This episode explores:

• how yoga culture has evolved over the past 14 years
• the impact of menopause on body image and identity
• the difference between self-awareness and self-improvement
• creating inclusive, non-elitist yoga spaces and retreats
• finding connection, oneness, and common humanity through practice

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wondered who you’re becoming as your body changes, this conversation offers a compassionate perspective on aging, mindfulness, and making peace with change.
