What if your journey to health wasn’t about shrinking, but about expanding—your confidence, your energy, and your self-love?
In my latest conversation on the You World Order Showcase Podcast, I sat down with Alisha Carlson, host of the Strong Her Way Podcast, to talk about something that so many of us have struggled with—our relationship with our bodies.
We dove deep into the mindset shifts that can change how we see ourselves, the dangers of diet culture, and how true health isn’t about obsessing over calories or the number on a scale—it’s about feeling good in your skin.
The Messages We Carry About Our Bodies
As women, many of us have been told—directly or indirectly—that our bodies are never quite right. Too big, too small, too tall, too short. It’s a relentless cycle of “fixing” ourselves instead of celebrating the incredible, powerful beings that we are.
For Alisha, this realization came after years of chasing the “perfect” body, only to find that the mental weight of that pursuit was heavier than any number on the scale. She now helps women break free from diet culture and find a more sustainable, joyful approach to fitness and well-being.
Your Health Starts in Your Mind
Most people think health starts with what’s on your plate or how many hours you spend in the gym. But true transformation starts in your head.
✨ Food is neutral—not “good” or “bad.” The labels we place on food often fuel guilt, restriction, and binge cycles. What if we just saw food as nourishment and trusted our bodies more?
✨ Your body is not the problem. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t “fit” because of your size, height, or shape, remember: society’s beauty standards are ever-changing. YOU are timeless.
✨ Find movement you love. Health isn’t about punishing your body—it’s about enjoying it. Whether it’s strength training, pickleball, or daily walks with a friend (or your dog!), movement should feel good.
Ready to Shift Your Perspective on Health?
Alisha and I had an amazing discussion about how to ditch restrictive dieting, embrace your unique body, and build a lifestyle that actually works for YOU—not what society says you should look like.
