211. How To Ignore The Lies Your Scale Is Telling You

In this episode, hosts Jeremy and Zach talk with Katie Bramlett, founder of We Shape, about why the number on the scale holds so much power over our self-image and self-worth. Katie shares her insights on body image, diet culture expectations, and tips for cultivating self-acceptance regardless of your weight.

Topics Discussed:




The scale as a source of validation




Cultural messaging about ideal body weight




Linking self-worth to a number




Moving from self-loathing to self-love




Listening to your own body's needs




Exercising for enjoyment rather than punishment




Toxic diet culture and false fulfillment




Finding community and human connection




Living with purpose and joy




Developing inner peace and self-acceptance
