About this episode

How To Love Yourself Beyond Body Image with Cait Whytock


This episode is such a special one for me because I’m joined by Cait Whytock: @cait_whytock — someone who was actually a huge catalyst in my own recovery journey. 🌟


Cait is pure love embodied. She helps people realise they don’t have to live the “normal way” — through self-love, body acceptance and choosing to live differently. In this conversation, we dive deep into eating disorder recovery, body image, somatic healing, trauma, and what it really means to live in love rather than fear.


We cover:

💙 Cait’s journey from orthorexia and over-exercising to deep healing.

💙 How yoga, meditation, and breathwork brought her back into her body.

💙 Why weight gain was the wake-up call she needed (and how she navigated it).

💙 The power of surrender, letting go, and “just doing it” anyway.

💙 Healing the inner child, trauma, and breaking free from external validation.


This one is packed with wisdom, honesty, and practical tools you can use on your own path to body love and self-acceptance.


💬 Powerful quotes from the episode


💬 “My body is a part of me, but it’s not the most interesting or important thing about me.”


💬 “When you let go of how you think things should be, that’s when what’s truly meant for you arrives.”


💬 “Nothing changes if nothing changes. Sometimes you just have to do it before you’re ready.”


💬 “The eating disorder isn’t the problem — it’s the symptom. The root always goes deeper.”


💬 “Healing is love. Acceptance is love. Love is without judgment.”
