Episode 63. Today I’m taking you on a behind the scenes tour of The Body Respect Program. I’m going to talk about how it’s evolved over the years I’ve been doing it (I started it in a much different form as an in person group in Chicago back in 2011), why I created it, how it’s teaching people to regain trust with their bodies after years of chronic dieting, and why I’ve never believed in something more.

What to Expect In This Episode:

  • How and why I decided to create an online program
  • A behind the scenes look at my fears in initially launching the program, the emotional roller coaster of launch expectations, and how the launch turned out compared to my expectations (you will be surprised about this one!)
  • How standard healthcare and traditional approaches to eating and weight management are keeping you stuck
  • What we’ve adapted and changed in the program to get even better results
  • Why this program is needed more than ever right now

Main Takeaways from This Episode

  • You likely are still getting a LOT of inaccurate messages about your health, weight, and wellness
  • You and your body are not broken, and it’s WAY more effective to work with your body instead of against it
  • You should have some form of support and accountability for any important change you want to make
  • More likely than not, you need more support and accountability if you aren’t making progress towards your goals (in any area)
