I hate my body right now.
And I know I shouldn’t care. I know it doesn’t matter. I know there are better things to worry about.
But I do care, and I hate it.
And what’s even more frustrating: I eat “right,” I exercise, I meditate, I take supplements…I do all the right things.
Yet, my body still doesn’t look the way I want it to.
This is such a universal experience. So many of us go through this—you put all this effort & work into your wellness, and you feel like the results don’t match that effort.
So you wonder if there’s maybe a food you are sensitive to…
Or maybe there’s some underlying condition that hasn’t been diagnosed…
Or maybe there’s just something you are overlooking…
You wrack your brain trying to figure out WHY it won’t budge
What you’re eating wrong.
What you’re doing wrong.
What you need to change.
You know that feeling?
If yes, then this episode is for you!

We all have our insecurities.
Some are about our appearance, some are about our abilities, and some are about entirely different things.
One of my biggest insecurities to date: my cooking ability.
Like all insecurities, this one didn't come out of nowhere. I wasn't born with it, it isn't genetic, nor inherited.
There was a specific event that caused me to shatter my confidence.
Today, I tell you that story.
And together, we try to reclaim my confidence by making two different versions of vegan scrambled eggs.
