Welcome back to Rebuilding Trust With Your Body! In this episode, Katy gets real about why this summer body image spiral happens, even when you’re no longer actively dieting. It’s not just about appearance. It’s about nervous system safety, social conditioning, and our deep need for belonging.

If your inner critic gets louder when the tank tops come out, this one’s for you.

We Discuss:

• Why your desire to lose weight for summer isn’t shallow, it’s a stress response
• How to regulate your nervous system when summer body panic strikes
• The difference between intentional eating and sneaky restriction
• How to dress, eat, and care for your body in ways that build trust, not shame
• Game-changing journal prompts to shift your summer mindset
