What if your self-worth isn't broken — it's just conditional? Learn the difference, the signs, and how to rebuild it from the inside out.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The critical difference between self-esteem and self-worth — and why confusing them keeps clients stuck
• How social conditioning wires women to seek worth externally — and what that looks like across body image, health, and career
• The key signs that your self-worth (or your client's) is still conditional
• Why body image work alone isn't enough — and what must happen alongside it
• The three-part framework for rebuilding unconditional self-worth from the inside out

Food noise is dominating the cultural conversation — but it's not a new phenomenon, and it's not a disease. In this Coach Corner episode, Stephanie Dodier breaks down what food noise actually is, what causes it, and how health professionals can coach clients through it using a Cognitive Behavioral Coaching framework — no pharmaceutical intervention required.

Health professionals will learn how to address food noise at all three levels: the cognitive (food rules), the somatic (eating cues including the often-missing satisfaction cue), and the identity level (untethering food from body size).

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why food noise is a signal from your body, not a malfunction to be silenced
• How diet culture created the problem GLP-1 is being sold to fix
• The cognitive tools to dismantle food rules driving the mental chatter
• Why the satisfaction cue is the most overlooked piece of the puzzle
• Why body image work is a clinical prerequisite — not an add-on

Body positivity isn’t dead. It was hijacked by influencers.

In this episode, I unpack the cultural narrative claiming the body positivity movement is over. I explain how a radical activism movement slowly became influencer-friendly content.

I also break down why expertise matters in conversations about health, body image, and wellbeing. Finally, I share evidence-based frameworks that actually support lasting change.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why body positivity was hijacked by influencers
• The difference between self-improvement messaging and social change
• The risks of treating influencers as health experts
• Evidence-based frameworks that support body acceptance and wellbeing
• Why expertise matters more than follower count
