87: This Is What’s Really Stopping You From Your Bikini Body

For years, I thought I had to push myself to fit into this “summer body” ideal, sweating it out through restrictive diets and unrealistic fitness goals, only to feel like I was falling short. I kept repeating the cycle—working hard, but not seeing lasting results. I thought the key to being happy in my body was to lose weight fast and look a certain way for an event or season. But the truth? It was all a big, exhausting loop that left me feeling drained and disconnected from my true health goals. In today’s episode, I'm talking about breaking free from the “bikini body” myth and the pressure to constantly shrink your body for the sake of appearance. I share my own experiences of being stuck in the weight-loss obsession, and how I learned to focus on what really matters— the real, long-term changes that create true strength, energy, and confidence—no matter the season. This episode is for anyone who’s tired of the endless cycle of dieting and unrealistic body standards.
