In this episode, we explore the complex and often difficult relationship we have with our bodies—especially when living with chronic illness. We dive into the feelings of grief, frustration, and even betrayal that can come with bodily changes, and ask: is it possible to like our bodies again? More importantly, we consider how to become allies rather than enemies to our bodies, acknowledging the hard while also noticing moments of kindness and connection. If you’re struggling with body image or just want a gentler way to relate to yourself, this episode offers compassion, practical ideas, and hope.
