In this Q&A; episode, a listener tells us they’re struggling with their recent rapid weight gain, and the negative reinforcement from their partners remarks about how proud they’d be if they regained their previous body type. 

We talk about:

Every person having a right to bodily autonomy in all facets, the right to show up in their life exactly as they areHow, as a partner, it’s our role to ask what that person wants and where they are in the process, rather than projecting what we think is right for themThe need to reach within ourselves and find resilience, so we don’t become enmeshed and codependent on others, and getting comfortable with the idea that maybe not all relationships are meant to continue if you are no longer in alignment
