Why You’re Gaining Weight, Attracting Lo...

Violet Benson
About this episode

What if I told you the reason you don’t have your summer body… is because of your situationship?

This week I’m joined by Sarah Perl, aka The Hot High Priestess, and we’re unpacking why your anxiety, trauma, and bad taste in men are literally showing up on your body.

We go deep on:

  • Why your nervous system is hoarding fat like it’s hoarding toxic men
  • What it really takes to make a man obsessed with you
  • How to manifest your ex back - and when to not
  • Law of Detachment: stop obsessing, start attracting
  • Masculine vs. feminine energy—and why you keep chasing
  • How to break the cycle of dating your daddy (again)
  • How generational trauma lives in your hips
  • Why you can’t find real love until you heal, and more!

If you’ve ever cried over a man and gained five pounds after, this one’s for you :)
