Episode Description from the Publisher

What if you stop dieting, your body changes, and your partner doesn't find you attractive anymore?That's a very real fear for many women — so in this episode, I'm asking my husband, John, to answer it honestly.John and I talk about what it was actually like to be in a relationship while I was deeply dieting, what happened as I stopped restricting and my body changed, and whether his attraction to me changed along the way.We also talk about what partners can do to support someone who's healing their relationship with food and their body — and the surprising role that confidence, comparison, and our ideas about what a body "should" look like can play in attraction.UPCOMING SMALL GROUP COACHINGI'm opening an upcoming small group coaching experience for women in Sept 2026 who want support letting go of dieting and building a more peaceful, trusting relationship with their bodies.
