What It’s Like to Struggle With Body Dysmorphia - My Story

From Instagram filters to photoshop apps, we live in a day and age where you can easily portray yourself in any way you want. And while all this technology at our fingertips can be fun, can it also be damaging? What happens when you look in the mirror and start seeing “flaws” that aren’t there? Or when there becomes a clear dissociation between how you really look and how you think you look?

In this episode, Eva shares her journey with a distorted self-image and body dysmorphia, a mental health condition that negatively impacts the way she perceives her body. Through her journey of discovery, self-reflection, and acceptance, Eva shares her experience in hopes that it might help someone else going through the same thing.

Eva also shares the tools she used to cope with body dysmorphia and that started her journey towards healing that distorted image reflecting back in the mirror.

In her most vulnerable episode to date, Eva dedicates this episode to Little Eva, the lost, broken, wayward little girl that never felt seen, beautiful, or like she belonged anywhere and every little girl just like her.

Started listening to this podcast ahead of the holidays as I’m gearing up to prioritize weight loss in the New Year. I love the host’s approach to weight loss / wellness, she dives into the psychology and emotional triggers behind why we behave the way we do, taking a holistic approach to advice on how to lose weight/become healthier.Episode 14 covers self care. She breaks it down between 8 different areas in your life and how you can tie them back to weight loss/implementing healthy lifestyle changes. She recommends approaching goal setting through these 8 areas.Heading home from my walk and about to dive into my journal to start doing some goal setting. Feeling so motivated! Thank you for your awesome advice, 10/10 recommend.

Being “healthy” feels like a full time job and I don’t think I’ve ever really been healthy enough to feel its impact and benefits. This podcast and Eva’s coaching have been so helpful during a chaotic time in my life where “healthy” is an afterthought. As someone whose world revolves around work and my family, this process with Eva has helped me remember to take care of ME and figure out how to navigate being healthy, being kind to myself, and building a sustainable lifestyle over a trendy diet and workout regimen. Love the tone of this podcast because it’s finally making curves, self-esteem, and weight loss super relatable and down to earth. Thank you, Eva!!
