Nope, That's Not Normal
Podcast Description
So much of what we consider normal in terms of our relationship to our body and food is NOT. Join us for bold, unapologetic conversations about the many ways disordered eating has seeped into our lives and how you can finally make shifts to break away from that way of being and thinking into freedom and joy. nopethatsnotnormal.substack.com
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The show focuses on themes such as disordered eating, body image struggles, and self-compassion, with episodes that cover topics like the importance of mindful self-compassion, the ripple effect of healing, and debunking diet culture myths.
You already know diet culture is BS. Now comes the harder part: living differently in a world still obsessed with shrinking, fixing, and controlling bodies. This podcast is for ongoing, layered healing—real conversations about food, identity, boundaries, and self-trust when there’s no finish line and no perfect way to “do it right.”
