EP 68: Your Body Shame Was Never Yours — And Here's Where It Actually Came From

What if the body you've spent years trying to fix… was never the problem in the first place?  In this deeply healing and perspective-shifting episode, Anniston Riekstins explores the hidden history behind women's relationships with their bodies—and why body shame is far more than a personal struggle.

In This Episode, You'll Learn: ➡️ Why body shame is inherited—not created by you ➡️ How beauty standards became tied to survival and self-worth ➡️ Why healing begins by changing the beliefs beneath body image struggles ➡️ The difference between self-care rooted in love versus fear ➡️ How your body communicates through wisdom, not punishment ➡️ Why aging is something to honor instead of resist ➡️ How embracing your body can unlock your purpose and confidence If you've ever believed your worth depended on your appearance, this episode will help you see your body with new eyes—and begin coming home to yourself.
