In this episode, I explore the concept of \"love weight,\" a term I discovered through a woman I follow on Substack that immediately stopped me in my tracks. While often discussed in the context of eating disorder recovery, I believe the idea reaches far beyond that. Many women find themselves in seasons of healing, recalibration, grief, recovery, or simply loosening their grip on rigid behaviors that no longer serve them. Sometimes the body responds in ways we don't expect. Sometimes peace comes with consequences we weren't prepared for. Today I offer a more compassionate lens through which to view those changes and explore what it means to trust that your body may be doing exactly what it needs to do right now. Because not every season of transformation is meant to look good while it's happening. Want to keep going?
