THE BODY IMAGE EPISODE – Learning to Love the Skin You’re In Episode Description If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, 💭 “I’ll love myself when I lose the weight.”💭 “Why can’t I just feel comfortable in my own skin?”💭 “Everyone else seems confident — what’s wrong with me?” —this one’s for you. In this episode of A Wake Up Call, Layne and Tess dive into one of the most personal and powerful topics yet: body image, self-care, and learning to love yourself — not when you’re “better,” but as you are. Layne opens up about what it was like to have her body as her career, her tool, and her identity — and the fifty-year journey it took to look in the mirror and genuinely love what she saw. Tess shares how she spent decades disconnected from her body, constantly at war with food, weight, and self-worth, and the moment she finally began to come home to herself. Together they explore: Why body image affects nearly everyone, regardless of age or gender The science behind why how we feel in our skin shapes our mental health and confidence The difference between self-love and self-criticism — and how to shift from one to the other How therapy, awareness, and daily micro-habits can help quiet the inner critic The simple question Tess asks herself each day: “If I loved my body, what would I do?” Layne’s practical advice on creating an environment that supports healing, not comparison You’ll also hear from listeners, including one raw, heartfelt email from a woman feeling “asleep with her eyes open,” reminding us why these conversations matter so deeply. This episode isn’t about perfection — it’s about peace. It’s a wake-up call to treat your body as the ally it’s always been. 🎧 Hit play to remember what it feels like to belong in your own skin again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
