158. Still carrying your past? It's time to put it down
Somewhere along the line, you might have been told who to be.
Maybe you were raised to stay small, keep quiet, not take up space. Maybe you’ve always believed you’re “just someone with no willpower” or that confidence simply isn’t for you. Maybe you've dieted your whole life, or you were praised for shrinking and learned that smaller meant better.
Just because that was your story, doesn’t mean it has to be your future.
In this episode, I’m talking about how your past – no matter how loud it’s been – doesn’t get to decide who you are now. Ingrained beliefs around food, body image, and confidence can keep you stuck, and it's time to loosen their grip so you can finally start showing up the way you want to.
Yes, there’s value in acknowledging and working through the past. But you don’t have to carry it forever.
You are not defined by the old labels, the dieting history, or the way others taught you to play small.
You get to choose what comes next.
