You think tracking is helping you stay in control.
But what if the thing keeping you “disciplined”… is actually keeping you stuck?

Inside this episode, I’m breaking down:

→ When calorie tracking becomes a cage (even if it started with good intentions)
→ The 6 questions to ask before you track another bite
→ When tracking can be helpful—and when it’s hurting you
→ Why intuitive eating is not chaos—it’s actually coming home to yourself
→ Red flags you might be ignoring (that I missed too)
→ Gentle ways to start transitioning away from tracking and rebuild trust with food

Because here’s the truth:
Tracking can be a helpful tool… but it should never be your permission to eat.
You don’t have to earn your hunger. You don’t need numbers to be enough.

And you?
You are so much more than the data in your app.

You swear it’s just discipline. Just being healthy.
But what if that “motivation”... is actually self-hate in disguise?

This episode is for the girl who:

• Feels anxious when she misses a workout
• Tracks “just to be aware” but spirals when she can’t
• Says no to food she loves out of fear—not care
• Feels like she has to earn rest or hunger
• Thinks shrinking = success, and joy = weakness

Inside this episode, we’ll unpack:

→ The blurry line between discipline and self-rejection
→ Why control is glorified in wellness culture (and what it’s costing you)
→ What true, healthy discipline actually looks like
→ 7 ways to rebuild self-respect without giving up your goals

Because punishing yourself isn’t strength.
And consistency doesn’t have to come from cruelty.

For years, I thought the only way to love my body… was to shrink it.

I chased skinny like it was the golden ticket to confidence, worth, and finally feeling enough. But no matter how small I got, it was never enough. I was exhausted, anxious, and constantly calculating. Because chasing skinny isn’t really about the size—it’s about control, safety, validation… and a whole lot of fear.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the moment everything shifted.

When I stopped asking “How small can I get?”
And started asking “How strong can I become?”

✨ Inside this episode:

• Why chasing skinny never gave you the freedom you were promised
• What “chasing strong” actually means (and why it’s not just about lifting weights)
• The emotional & physical shifts that happen when you start fueling, resting, and respecting your body
• How to start rewriting your goals—from self-punishment to self-trust
• The exact mindset reframe that changed my entire relationship with food, fitness, and my body

This isn’t about giving up.

It’s about finally choosing a life over a look.
It’s about building strength—not just physically, but emotionally.
It’s about feeling powerful, present, and at peace in your body—for real this time.

This one’s for the woman silently asking herself the question she’s too scared to say out loud…

👉🏼 “What if I do all the healing… and I still don’t like my body?”

Whew. That one hits, right?

In this raw and honest episode, I’m diving into the fear that doesn’t get talked about on recovery pages or in feel-good reels—but lives in the minds of so many women on this journey. Because truth is: healing your relationship with food doesn’t guarantee you’ll wake up loving your body overnight.

We’ll unpack:

• Why healing doesn’t always = loving what you see in the mirror
• The sneaky expectations that set you up for disappointment
• What this fear is really about (spoiler: it’s not just weight)
• The shift that’ll set you free
• And how to keep going when your healed self still struggles with body image

You’re not failing if you still have hard body days.
You’re not broken if you don’t feel confident yet.
You’re human—and this episode will remind you of that with love.

You’ve probably heard the message: “If you really healed, you wouldn’t care what you looked like anymore.”

But… what if that’s just another lie dressed up as empowerment?

In this episode, I’m getting real about something so many women in the healing space feel—but are too afraid to say out loud:

Yes, I still care what I look like. No, that doesn’t make me shallow. And it definitely doesn’t make me toxic.

We’re diving into:

• The shame spiral around wanting to feel good in your body
• The difference between obsession and intention
• How I personally navigate physique goals now (hint: it’s not rooted in self-hate anymore)
• And the gut-check questions that keep me grounded when old patterns try to creep back in

This is for the woman who’s healing… but still wants to glow up.
Who wants food freedom and to feel sexy in a crop top.
Who wants to care about her body—without letting it control her life.

Because healing doesn’t mean giving up your goals.
It means you get to chase them from a place of self-respect, not self-rejection.

💜 You are not a bad person for wanting more.
You’re just human. And in this episode—I’ll prove it to you.

• The exact moment I realized tracking was controlling me more than it was helping me
• How I slowly transitioned off the app without spiraling into chaos

• Journaling prompts + strategies to help you build a new kind of safety without the numbers

If you’ve ever sat in bed after a binge thinking,
“I blew it.”
“I ruined everything.”
“I have to start over tomorrow…”

Then this episode is your lifeline.

In Episode 11 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, I’m breaking down exactly why bingeing doesn’t mean you failed — and how what you do next matters way more than what you just ate. We’re talking about:

• why the guilt spiral keeps you stuck (not the food)
• how to stop trying to “fix” your body after a binge
• what it actually looks like to respond with compassion instead of punishment
• and how to build the kind of relationship with food where binges become fewer, softer, and eventually… just don’t happen anymore.

Because the binge isn’t proof you’re out of control. It’s a signal.
And you don’t need to start over — you just need to come back home to yourself.

This is the episode I wish I had when I thought one “bad” night undid all my progress.
It didn’t.
And yours didn’t either.
