Ep.168 Thoughts On Body Image

Alia Zaita & Yoni Ekoto
About this episode

This week, we’re diving into a quite personal and vulnerable conversation about body image and healing. Alia opens up about growing up in the ballet world and how that shaped a pretty tough relationship with her body. But over the last few years, things have started to shift — and a big part of that has been her relationship with Yoni, who’s loved her into loving herself.

We talk about what healing has looked like, how it’s rarely a straight line, and the quiet, surprising ways self-acceptance can sneak in.
