About Happyish Ever After: Love Your Life, Build Emotional Wellbeing, And Lose Weight
This podcast is about having tools and perspectives that help us all live our best life - not avoiding the ups and downs but learning and growing into our own truth. I grew up believing that if I could have the perfect life - which meant the if I was able to have the perfect body, perfect career, perfect family (see a trend yet) then I would be living the fairytale and would be happy. But I finally figured out that ”perfect” isn’t a thing and the fairytale was never real. In fact, I learned that I was never going to find happiness or fulfillment in a story that written by someone else.My hope is that when you listen to this podcast it feels like having a conversation with a trusted friend. The people who come on the podcast bring their unique perspective and generously share their insight. You will walk away inspired and with tools and knowledge to start the journey of writing your own story. Welcome to the real story - your story.

Body Shame: How It Harms Us and Why Self-Compassion Heals
In this episode, Tatiana dives into the dark side of diet culture – body shame. She explores how societal messages and even healthcare professionals can make us feel inadequate and unworthy because of our body size. But here's the truth: shame is not a motivator, and it doesn't lead to lasting health changes. Tatiana calls on the work of Brené Brown to explain why shame backfires, and explores the power of self-compassion as a path to a healthier body.

Key Points:
Body Shame is Everywhere: From airbrushed magazine covers to subtle comments from family, we're constantly bombarded with messages that equate thinness with beauty and value. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and a distorted body image.
Shame Doesn't Work: Shame might make you feel bad about yourself, but it won't help you reach your health goals. Studies show that shame-based weight loss approaches have high recidivism rates.
The Power of Self-Compassion: Brené Brown defines shame as saying "I am bad." Self-compassion, on the other hand, is about treating yourself with kindness and understanding, even when you make mistakes.
The Three Elements of Self-Compassion: According to Kristen Neff, self-compassion consists of self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness.
Self-kindness: Be gentle with yourself, you wouldn't talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself!
Common humanity: Remind yourself that everyone struggles, and challenges around weight and body image are common.
Mindfulness: Acknowledge your feelings without judgment. Don't get swept away by negativity.
Call to Action:
This week, practice self-compassion! When you have a setback, show yourself kindness. Remember, you are worthy of love and respect, no matter your size.
