How do you speak to your body—and would you speak to someone you love the same way?

In this episode of The FEEL Podcast, Melissa Crook welcomes Nina Manolson for a conversation about Body-Peace, body image, self-acceptance, and changing the relationship women have with their bodies. Nina shares what it can look like to move away from body criticism, shame, constant body-management, and the pressure to “fix” ourselves, and toward curiosity, respect, compassion, and greater trust in our bodies.

Rather than asking, “How do I change my body?” this conversation invites us to consider a different question:

“How am I relating to my body?”

Melissa and Nina explore the messages women receive about their bodies, the language we use when talking to and about ourselves, and why Body-Peace isn't dependent on loving every part of your body every day.

• The difference between body criticism and Body-Peace
• How women learn to judge and manage their bodies
• Becoming aware of how you speak TO your body
• Moving from judgment toward curiosity and respect
• Building a more compassionate relationship with your body
• What it means to listen to and trust your body
• Why your body doesn't need to be “fixed” before it deserves care
• How our relationship with our bodies can change over time

💛 Notice how you speak TO your body this week.

💛 Ask: “Am I relating to my body with criticism, or curiosity?”

💛 Choose one way to respond to your body with respect instead of judgment.

What might change if, instead of approaching your body as something to criticize, manage, or fight, you began getting curious about your relationship with it?
