How many times have you looked in the mirror and decided you weren't enough?
In this honest and deeply relatable conversation, Sarah sits down with body image coach and mentor Natalie Trusdale to explore the hidden emotional struggles behind body confidence, self-worth and the exhausting pursuit of perfection.
Natalie shares her own journey through body dysmorphia and anorexia nervosa, revealing how a need for control became a coping mechanism during life's uncertainties, and how studying psychology helped her understand that our thoughts, beliefs and habits can be changed with compassion rather than criticism.
Together, Sarah and Natalie explore why so many women spend years believing they'll finally be happy "when…", when they're thinner, fitter or somehow different, and why lasting confidence has very little to do with the number on the scales.
They also discuss the link between body image, ADHD, perfectionism and self-criticism, along with practical ways to quieten the inner critic and begin treating ourselves with greater kindness.
This is a conversation for anyone who's ever avoided a photograph, questioned their reflection or wondered if feeling "good enough" is always just out of reach.
Because perhaps the relationship we need to change isn't with our body... it's with ourselves.
