Episode Description from the Publisher

This episode wasn’t planned.It started as a DM between me and binge eating recovery coach Stefanie Michele…and quickly turned into a conversation where we thought “we need to hit record!”What you’re hearing is a real, unfiltered conversation between two body image coaches—no script, no teaching agenda—just the truth about what we went through and what actually changed things.Inside, we talk about:Growing up feeling “almost good enough”How subtle comments shape body image more than obvious onesThe link between perfectionism, control, and foodWhy validation feels powerful—but never actually satisfiesThe moment things started to shiftIf you’ve ever felt like: “I should feel good enough by now… but I don’t”, you’ll want to be a fly on the wall for this conversation!✨ Sign up for the Small Group Body Peace Coaching Interest List: https://kristina-bruce.kit.com/e68b4bf20b✨ You can also explore more support here:🌐 www.kristinabruce.com📱 https://www.instagram.com/kristinabrucecoach/ 📕 Download for free The Guide to Body Peace: www.kristinabruce.com/guide✨ And if you connected with Stefanie’s perspective, you can find her here:🌐 www.iamstefaniemichele.com📱 https://www.instagram.com/iamstefaniemichele• Body Image Workshop 2026: https://www.iamstefaniemichele.com/body-image-workshop
