8: You Don't Have To Pass A Worthiness Test

Talking with Emma: Coaching Tools that Make Living in a Midlife Body Easier

If you’ve ever stood in front of the mirror and spiralled into shame, changed outfits five times before going out, or quietly questioned your worth because of how you look — this episode is for you.

Because your body isn’t a constant worthiness scorecard. And it never was.
What’s causing the struggle isn’t your body — it’s the thoughts you’ve inherited about your body.

In this episode of Talking with Emma, we dig into the invisible, exhausting inner dialogue so many women live with — and begin to separate the facts of your body from the stories you’ve been taught to believe about it. We look at the cost of those unquestioned thoughts, why they’re not your fault, and how to start challenging them with a powerful self-coaching practice.

You’ll learn:

• Why your body isn’t “the problem” — and what is
• The difference between facts and thoughts (and why it matters so much)
• How your internal narrative got shaped — and how to start reshaping it
• A coaching practice to create space between body shame and body neutrality
