OFF THE RECORD: A Raw Conversation on Body Image & Perfectionism

What happens when two body image coaches start talking "off the record"? In this special joint episode, Stefanie Michele - a Binge Eating Recovery Coach and Kristina Bruce, a Body Peace Coach share a raw, unedited conversation that was originally happening offline. We realized the "good stuff" coming up was too important not to share, so we hit record. We’re diving deep into the high cost of perfectionism in how we’ve viewed and treated our bodies for decades. We’re pulling back the curtain on what it actually looks like to unlearn the shame and find authentic body peace. In this episode, we discuss: • The "Dangling Carrot" of Thinness: Why reaching your "goal weight" never actually feels like arriving. • Soul Disconnection: How the pursuit of beauty standards forces us to disconnect from our intuition and life force. • Subtle Trauma: How offhand comments from family and friends shape our body image from a young age. • The Path to "Enoughness": Why recovery isn't about fixing your body, but removing the negativity that blocks your inherent worth. • Stefanie’s Turning Point: Making the decision to stop fighting her body after decades of binge eating. • Kristina’s 40-Day Experiment: A radical approach to letting go of negative self-talk and sitting in the truth of who you are. This is a different kind of episode—no scripts, no filters, just two women who have been through the fire talking about what it really takes to heal your relationship with your body.
