#160: What Does It Really Take to Heal? [Abbie Interviewed on Self-Compassion, Recovery, and Reclaiming Body Connection On The Feeling Lighter Podcast]
Abbie is on the other side of the mic in this episode -- being interviewed on self-compassion, recovery, body changes, and healing from the toxicity of diet culture.
This is an exploration of the importance of trusting your body’s signals—whether it’s hunger, rest, or grief—and how everyday acts of self-kindness can transform your relationship with your body and your whole self.
Listen to the episode for more on:
self-compassion as the "first step" in recovery
societal pressures surrounding body image
the illusion of control in diet culture
chronic illness and the pursuit of health
why healing doesn’t happen in isolation
how community plays a vital role in helping us feel seen, validated, and connected
navigating body changes
trusting your experiences and instincts
embracing life’s inevitable ups and downs
what happens when we acknowledge our own pain
embracing our worth beyond physical appearances and abilities
