🗣❤️⁠Why is self-love so hard for some of us and why does it have such a big impact on our whole life?!⁠
⁠
Negative thoughts you have about yourself often stem from experiences you've had in early life. ⁠
⁠
Through various things that have happened to you and the way you interpret these things as a child, you might have come to the conclusion that you are 'stupid', 'incompetent' 'unlovable' or some other negative judgement.⁠
⁠
However, if you still have these negative core beliefs as an adult it's likely that there are things you do on a day to day basis that keep the negative beliefs you developed as a child, alive today. ⁠
⁠
It may be that the way you respond to certain day to day situations, all serve to keep your negative core beliefs going.⁠
⁠
Here's an example - If you believe you are unloveable you may have biased expectations when approaching situations with loved ones. ⁠
⁠
Biased expectations such as "of course they don't care about me, that's why they didn't call me back". These biased expectations may then cause you to behave in certain ways. for example, avoid speaking to that person. ⁠
⁠
These thoughts and behaviours then contribute to you feeling anxious, or sad, and doubtful. On top of that, the person that you've avoided speaking to might decide that from your behaviour (avoiding them) it is you that does not care about them and they may end up actually withdrawing from you. ⁠
⁠
However, ⁠
⁠
As far as you're concerned this now confirms that you were right, your negative core belief remains unchanged, and the cycle continues. ⁠
⁠
If this sounds like you, then stay tuned. ⁠
⁠
I have something coming up that will solve this very problem. You're going to love how simple I make it for you.

Posted • To whoever might need to hear this right now. You deserve to eat, you deserve to eat what you WANT, Full stop. You do not have to “earn” food. You do not have to deprive yourself for a “treat” and so importantly, you never have to punish yourself for eating something that made you happy, full and nourished 💕

Most people upgrade everything except the things their body actually runs on. Cellular energy being one of them.

New trainers, a better watch, a gym membership that costs more than their phone bill. Meanwhile cellular energy, one of the major things your body relies on to function optimally, gets put to the sidelines.
�Longevity research keeps circling back to the same idea: the habits that compound hardest are the ones repeated daily/ weekly. Detoxifying the body with infrared light and saunas, can be a major key for cellular regeneration. Not to forget regular lymphatic massage to get rid of excess water retention so your lymph’s are flowing correctly without any blockages which can make you prone to illness.

We have intentionally designed a space to take care of your heart, mind, body and soul. Food and drink included.

Share this to help challenge some of the things people still get wrong about eating disorders. 🧡

Eating disorders do not have one look, one set of behaviors, or one type of person they affect. Misconceptions like these can make it harder for people to recognize when they’re struggling or believe they deserve support.

No one should have to prove that they are “sick enough” to be taken seriously.

When I was unwell, I remember going to the doctor and secretly hoping something would show up in my blood tests.

Not because I wanted something to be wrong, but because I knew I wasn’t okay, and I wanted the results to confirm that. Something that said, yes, this is serious. You really are struggling.

And whenever they came back normal, it was so easy to question myself. Maybe I wasn’t that unwell. Maybe I didn’t need help after all.

The truth is that eating disorders don’t always show up that way.

Blood tests matter, but they only capture part of the picture.

They can’t show how much space this is taking up in your head, or how much it’s all affecting your life.

You can be really struggling and still have completely normal results.

So please, don’t let a normal test talk you out of getting support. How much this is affecting your life is what matters. 💜

Women and girls are suffering. Believing our naturally changing bodies are wrong and not good enough. Fearing ageing. And it all stems from the belief that our worth and value lies in our appearance - and that belief is robbing us of our energy and joy and sense of self-worth.

It’s outdated, and I think we deserve a LOT better for ourselves. But only we can do for ourselves.

If you’re sick and tired of feeling like your body isn’t good enough, if you don’t want to spend the rest of your life worrying about every pound and wrinkle, comment GUIDE and I’ll DM you a link to a free copy of the Guide to Body Peace: For women tired of “fixing” their bodies - and ready to feel free.

Society often expects fat folks to shrink—physically and emotionally—and to carry the shame of living in a body they are expected to change. To experience joy in a world built on weight bias is a profound act of resistance against a culture that says you must lose weight to be worthy of happiness. Fat joy is about unlearning that shame and fully embracing life: right here, right now, just as you are.

You deserve to take up space. You deserve joy. 🧡

This , we invite you to celebrate the power of fat joy by joining us for two days of learning, community, and connection. ✨ Learn more and register at weightstigmaawarenessweek.org.

That realization can be jarring. How you perceive your body directly profits the weight loss industry.
Their industry model is to make you a forever customer.

So their “solutions” have to keep pivoting. Diet pills. Point systems. Detox teas. Injections. The packaging changes but the promise stays the same. But notice how often the solution has to change. What’s actually being protected here isn’t your health. It’s the profit model.

💜If you just had an ‘aha’ moment... comment COURSE and I’ll get you on the waitlist for my weekly beta round of the Body Grievers® Course.
