211: Summer, Expansion & Body Trust
Manage episode 493662739 series 3517772
Summer is often seen as the season of joy—sunshine, connection, spontaneity, and play. But for many, it also brings body image triggers, food anxiety, and pressure to do summer "right." In this reflective solo episode, Michelle unpacks the paradox of summer: how it can be both a healing balm and a battleground.
You'll hear:
- Why summer can feel more intuitive and nourishing—but also more vulnerable
- How body image struggles and food fears can intensify in the warmer months
- What it means to expand when you’ve spent years trying to shrink
- The difference between winter rest and summer rest—and how to honor both
- Practical ways to support yourself through summer with body trust and self-compassion
- A gentle journal prompt to help you align with the season’s energy
Whether you’re loving summer or struggling with it (or both), this episode invites you to meet yourself exactly where you are.
✨ Journal Prompt:
Where am I being invited to expand this season—and where might I need softness or pause instead?
