Healing My Body Image Issues & Developin...

Lily Rakow
About this episode

"I have to lose weight or I'll never be good enough". This is the lie that forces many people into a lifelong body image battle. In this episode, Lily unpacks why a deep desire to lose weight and alter her appearance ultimately resulted in an unhealthy relationship with food. Lily gets raw and real through personal anecdotes, initiating conversation around one of the most sensitive, yet relatable, aspect of womanhood: learning to love the body you came in.
