Living Outside the Diet Trance
A short email series about body story, cultural messaging, and the freedom that comes when we stop trying to fix our bodies.
Most of us didnā€™t wake up one day and decide to feel bad about our bodies.
We were taught.
Family comments. Doctorsā€™ offices. Magazines. Social media. Churches. Friends. School locker rooms. Health advice that sounded responsible but carried a lot of shame underneath it.
Over time, all of that messaging can create what I call the diet trance ā€” the quiet assumption that life will finally begin once our body is different.
This short email series gently explores another possibility.
What if the problem was never your body?
