Making Peace With Your Body in Midlife

Written By Jo Clark

In this episode, Jo calls herself out on the harsh inner voice that had quietly crept in around her changing body. If you've ever caught yourself being more critical of your own body than you'd ever be to anyone else's, this honest conversation will feel familiar. It's not about forced body positivity, it's about noticing the cost of comparison and choosing a kinder path forward.

In this episode, we explore:

  • How negative self-talk about our bodies quietly becomes our norm

  • The impossible standards we hold ourselves to (and who profits from them)

  • Why we compare our current body to younger versions—and to other women

  • The real cost of spending this chapter at war with ourselves

  • What choosing awareness and kindness over criticism can actually look like

This conversation is a helpful starting point if you're ready to stop wasting precious time on negative thoughts about your body.
