This episode is part 2 of my body image conversation. I share an Instagram live from early this week, and what happened after my initial post about how I felt about my body.I was blown away by the response from my initial post, realising how many women in their mid forties and beyond feel exactly the same as I do about their bodies.In this episode I share what happened after that post, and an exciting new opportunity for my community that was born from it.This episode is a quickie but a goodie!You can sign up for SELF LOVE BLITZ the free 5 day challenge here:  https://kaiahunter.kartra.com/page/selfloveblitz Send me a DM on INSTAGRAM here https://www.instagram.com/kaia_hunter/ Book a CONSULT with me here https://KaiaHunterCoaching.as.me/Download your free Video and Guide "Stop letting fear hold you back.

I’ve been hating my body and shaming myself for putting on weight over the past 5 years. I feel far from confident about it.Every night I look at myself in the mirror, and tell myself my stomach is fat. I tell myself that I should be at a certain weight. That I look awful. That no man would find me attractive. That I won’t achieve the level of success I want unless I’m thin.I oscillate between accepting where I am and learning to love my 54 year body exactly the way it is, vs trying my hardest to lose the 5 kgs. It’s a constant battle in my head.I’ve had this mental battle most of my life.Society says women are only attractive if they look a certain way. Is it any wonder we beat the shit out of ourselves to fit into a certain mould?I know i’m not alone. I know there’s a LOT of women feeling exactly the way I feel. And so while I kinda feel like vomiting right now, I’m doing it anyway…Sharing my journey toward loving my body - something I’ve never felt. And it’ll be a journey, because even writing the words ‘loving my body’ brings up resistance.This Episode of the Podcast is a ‘from the heart’ share and I hope it resonates with you.

In this week’s episode I say goodbye to The Empty Nest Countdown, to make way for something fresh …… a new podcast with a different name and slightly different direction.When I started my Podcast a year ago my focus was on helping women as they navigate the transition stage to becoming empty nesters, and working with them as they decide their next step once the kids leave home.And while I still work with women in this phase of life (mostly), in the new Podcast I’ll be discussing healing from trauma, creating self acceptance, and embodiment (which is just a fancy name for getting out of our heads and into our body’s more).This is the work i’ll be supporting my clients with, so that whatever life they want to create, we do it from a solid foundation.
