Finally Feel Good in Your Body: 4 Expert...

Mel Robbins
About this episode

If you’re tired of picking apart your appearance, hiding your body, or never feeling good enough, this episode is for you. 

Today, you’ll learn the 4 simple steps you can take to build lasting confidence and finally feel good in your body. 

This powerful episode was inspired by a raw and emotional conversation Mel had with viral comedian Jake Shane. 

When Jake admitted he hates how he looks and struggles with self-worth, it opened the door to a bigger truth: millions of people feel the exact same way—but don’t know what to do about it. 

So, Mel called in the experts. In this episode, you’ll hear from Mel and Jake and learn tools from two renowned psychiatrists: 

-Dr. Judith Joseph, MD, double board-certified psychiatrist, professor at Columbia and NYU Medical Schools, and author of the bestselling book High Functioning. 

-Dr. Ashwini Nadkarni, MD, Harvard Medical School professor and psychiatrist at Mass General Brigham who specializes in anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and depression. 

Together, they break down the surprising psychology behind body shame and give you a practical, proven roadmap to feeling better, starting now. 

You’ll learn how to: 

  • Break free from body shame, obsession, and constant comparison
  • Rewire your brain for confidence and lasting self-acceptance
  • Use 4 science-backed steps to heal how you see yourself
  • Understand the hidden psychology behind body image and self-talk
  • Unpack the shocking research on how screens and modern life are distorting your self-image (and how to fix it)

This isn’t just a conversation. It’s your roadmap to healing, backed by science. 

 

After listening you will have the tools, the science, and the mindset shift you need to stop hiding—and start seeing yourself clearly. 

Because when you change how you see yourself, you change everything.
