What If You Didn’t Need to Fix Your Body?

In this episode of Calmer Conversations, we pause. We ground. And we talk about the relationship so many of us have with our bodies—especially as we move through midlife, motherhood, hormonal shifts, and the endless messaging that tells us we’re not quite enough. If you’ve ever felt like your body had to be fixed before it could be loved, this one is for you. I walk you through a powerful perspective shift: that your body isn’t your enemy—it’s your ally. It’s the vehicle through which you get to experience life. You don’t need to earn rest, love, or appreciation. You can start treating your body like a partner now—flaws, softness, and all. Together we’ll breathe, we’ll reflect, and I’ll guide you through small ways to begin talking to yourself with more kindness. Because your body is already worthy. And so are you.

Topics:

  • How societal messaging disconnects us from our bodies
  • Why midlife is often a tender time for body image
  • The difference between fixing your body and partnering with it
  • A grounding practice to build body appreciation
  • Thought shifts and self-reflection to soften body criticism

About Your Host

I’m Cecelia, and I am passionate about helping people live the life they want to live and feel how they want to feel in their life. We do this together using mindset tools, nervous system regulation, and curious inquiry. I know that enjoying your life, feeling calm and even joyful is available to you.

If you’re ready to start right now, grab a recent workshop replay here on creating momentum.

Personally, I manifest in many ways- partner, mother, coach, sister, friend, daughter, citizen, feminist. I live with my husband and children way downeast Maine on a little bridge-connected island (after spending my first 35 years in cities). It’s beautiful here with the ocean and the wind.

I help my clients make big and small changes in life one step at a time.

No matter what’s happening in your life right now, I know you can feel different. I know that by working with your brain and nervous system, you can feel calm, content, joyful, AND you can still go after the big and small goals in your life (getting there will just feel different).

This process is simple and approachable.

You’re probably thinking- but it won’t work for me. I’ve tried it all or I was recently diagnosed with ADHD or I’m too old. But I promise, if you’re open to it, this work is not only transformative but suited for so many different kinds of people and brains.
