What if the “ideal body” isn’t real—and never was? In this video, Samantha breaks down how this myth formed, why it persists, and how we can begin to challenge it in our daily lives. She shares compassionate strategies to reconnect with your values, care for your body, and push back against the harmful messages we absorb from culture, media, and even ourselves.
Watch now to challenge toxic myths and make space for self-led care.
In this short video, Courtney explains how even unintentional meal skipping can signal to your body that food isn’t safe or consistent.
Instead of pushing past hunger or delaying meals until you “deserve” them, try to offer yourself food with the same consistency and care that you would give to someone you love.
Alisha Rowe shares a powerful reflection on what it means to care for yourself—especially when self-love feels out of reach.
Her advice? Start small. Find one thing—no matter how tiny—that you appreciate about your body. Maybe it’s your hands that help you work, your legs that take you places, or your heart that keeps beating. Anchoring to that small truth can help you move from judgment into gentleness.
Jen Villaseñor shares a powerful reframing exercise to help us challenge food guilt.
Thought Experiment: Imagine someone stranded on an island for days without food. If you gave them something from your “bad” food list, would it still be bad? Or would it be a vital source of energy and nourishment? Unlike inedible objects like rocks, all food provides something valuable—it’s the labeling that causes distress, not the food itself.
Ashley Ellis Eid introduces a simple but impactful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tool: pausing to question negative assumptions about your body. Just like the changing of the seasons, our perception of ourselves can shift depending on external factors like stress, fatigue, or societal messages. Instead of accepting negative thoughts as facts, Ashley encourages us to ask, Is this really true, or is this an automatic, unhelpful thought? By reframing these beliefs, we open the door to more kindness and acceptance.
