Just listen to your body.

Sounds simple enough, right?
Except when it isn’t.

Last week in yoga class, we were in Eagle Pose — one of those twisty, balance-heavy ones. I told myself I was modifying to honour my body’s limits… but underneath that, I knew I was afraid.

Afraid of falling.
Afraid of looking silly.
Afraid of being seen.

And it hit me — this wasn’t body trust. This was fear, disguised as self-care.

What’s funny is, I’ve done the opposite too — pushed through pain, ignored discomfort, and called that “strength.”

Both extremes pull me away from what my body actually needs.

True body trust lives in the middle — where we can meet ourselves with both care and courage.

So lately, I’ve been asking myself this:

✨ If I fully trusted my body, what would I choose right now? ✨

There’s no right answer — just honesty.

💬 What helps you tell the difference between listening to your body and listening to fear?

Sometimes, the teacher becomes the student.

After last week’s episode of Thrive Beyond Size, a listener kindly called me out for using the phrase “junk food.”

And she was absolutely right.

Even after years of teaching about intuitive eating and body trust, I still slip into old language. Because we’re all swimming in diet culture—and those words run deep.

But language doesn’t just describe our reality… it shapes it.

When we label food as “good” or “bad,” or talk about “getting back on track,” we’re reinforcing moral judgments that create shame and disconnection.

This week’s episode dives into how our words can either reinforce control or nurture trust…with food, with our bodies, and with ourselves.

I thought a three-week trip to Morocco would leave me rested and recharged.
Instead, it completely wiped me out.

We walked almost 200 km, climbed hundreds of stairs, and spent nights on what my husband Rob lovingly called “penance mattresses.” The heat was relentless. The food was hit-or-miss. And my body — well, she had opinions.😅

But somewhere between the sand dunes and the sleepless nights, I realized something:
Body trust isn’t built in comfort. It’s built in contrast.

I learned that joyful movement still needs rest.
That food satisfaction is essential, not optional.
That even years into this work, old body stories can still whisper — and gratitude can still surprise you.

Coming home has been messy. Jet lag, food that makes me feel like crap, skipped routines. But growth isn’t about getting it perfect.

It’s about remembering how to come back home to yourself — gently, again and again.

September has a way of whispering “fresh start.” New planners, cooler mornings, back-to-school vibes… it feels like the perfect time to reset.

But here’s the truth: that reset energy is often just diet culture in disguise.

I fell into the trap myself this month—overloading my schedule, piling on commitments, and slipping into old patterns. And I was miserable.

In this week’s episode of Thrive Beyond Size, I’m unpacking the September Reset Myth:

✨ Why resets feel so tempting
✨ How they sneak into our lives
✨ Why they don’t work (and often make us feel worse)
✨ What to try instead: rhythms, not resets

Because you don’t need a reset. You were never broken. 💛

Last weekend, I found myself in the middle of a 10-hectare corn maze on a blistering hot day in Winnipeg with two of my dear friends.

At first it was fun. We laughed, we searched for the “hidden Manitoba musicians,” and we thought we’d conquer it. But before long, the fun faded. Dead ends, wrong turns, relentless sun. Frustration took over.

Eventually, we stopped trying to find the official exit. We cut to the perimeter and walked out. And here’s what surprised me: it didn’t feel like quitting. It felt like wisdom.

In fact, had we not made that choice, we wouldn’t have had the time to enjoy a beautiful field of sunflowers, which truly fed my soul.

That day reminded me that obstacles don’t always require brute force. Sometimes the wiser, healthier choice is to pivot, to step aside, reroute, or re-prioritize.

In this week’s episode of Thrive Beyond Size, I share the lessons that sweaty corn maze taught me about obstacles, growth, and why choosing wisely isn’t the same as giving up.

When I read the headline that Serena Williams is reportedly taking a GLP-1 medication, and that her husband is an investor in the company that makes it, it felt like a punch in the gut.

Serena has always been an icon of strength for me. She resisted the thin ideal, stood unapologetically powerful in a world that tried to shrink her, and showed us all that greatness doesn’t have to fit into narrow boxes.

So seeing her tied to the latest so-called “miracle” weight loss drug hit differently. Not just because it’s Serena, but because of what it represents.

GLP-1s are being marketed everywhere as quick fixes. And when celebrities use them, it normalizes the idea that everyone should want them. It makes them aspirational. And it reinforces the lie that even the most powerful women in the world still need to shrink in order to belong.

Here’s the truth: these drugs (and the industries behind them) are capitalizing not just on people’s pain, but on their shame. The pain of years spent dieting, and the shame that whispers you’re not enough.

First, the culture teaches us to hate our bodies. Then it sells us the “cure” for the very shame it created. That isn’t health. That’s exploitation.

In this week’s episode of Thrive Beyond Size, I dive into why this story matters so much, how diet culture keeps reinventing itself, and what we can do to resist being sold thinness at the cost of our joy.

Our bodies are not for sale. They are not commodities. They are vessels for our love, our lives, and our power.

👉 I’d love to hear what this brings up for you. Did you feel a sting when you saw Serena’s name connected to GLP-1s?

Ever wish you could bottle up the feeling of vacation and keep it all year?

I just spent 10 days camping — hiking most days, breathing fresh air, connecting with my family, sleeping like a dream. I even did a little work, and it felt fine because the pace was so different.

But within hours of getting home, my stress levels spiked. My brain went right back to old patterns: poor sleep, mental clutter, and an overwhelming to-do list.

In this week’s episode of Thrive Beyond Size, I’m sharing:

✨ Why vacations feel so good for our bodies and minds
✨ The brain science behind the post-vacation crash
✨ How to keep the best parts of vacation alive in daily life

Because you CAN carry that joy, ease, and connection into your everyday…without needing another plane ticket.

When does joyful movement stop feeling joyful?

That’s the question I found myself asking after five days of steep hiking while camping in the mountains.

Hiking is usually my favorite kind of movement—but somewhere along the trail, the “shoulds” started creeping in.

- I should be fitter by now.
- I should be able to keep up.
- I shouldn’t need this much rest.

In this week’s episode of Thrive Beyond Size, I’m exploring how even the movement we love can become pressure-filled—and how to tell when joyful movement turns into quiet burnout.

Have you ever felt emotions rise during a yoga stretch and thought—what is THAT about?
⁠
I used to think it was just me.
⁠
But I’m learning that our fascia and psoas muscle store stress, trauma, and survival responses we never had the chance to fully process.⁠
⁠
This week on Thrive Beyond Size, I’m sharing what I’ve learned so far about how the body holds on… and how it might start to let go.⁠
⁠
Not through force.
Not through fixing.
But through safety. Gentleness. And listening.⁠

“Why can’t I be the 5%?”

That’s what my husband asked me last week as we sat in our trailer, talking about his body and how it’s changed over the years.

He was talking about that statistic:
95% of diets fail.

Which means… 5% “succeed.”

And for many people, that 5% becomes a reason to keep trying.

To go back on the wagon.

To believe maybe this time will be different.

In this week’s episode of Thrive Beyond Size, I’m digging into the truth about that 5%:

👉What’s really happening in those long-term “success” stories

👉 Why it often comes down to relentless control, genetic privilege, or disordered behaviors

👉 And whether weight loss medications like Ozempic actually change the equation

👉 Or just reinforce the same old problem

Because shrinking your body doesn’t necessarily expand your life.

And the 5% doesn’t always come with peace.

Have you ever found yourself chasing the 5%?
