That voice in your head telling you to clean your plate or skip dessert? It might not be your voice at all. In this post, Katy explores how childhood food rules quietly guide your eating—and how to break free from them.

That gut-punch moment when your jeans don’t fit or the scale jumps? It’s enough to send anyone into a spiral. But before you run back to dieting, let’s pause—and talk about what’s really going on beneath that panic.

In this heartfelt and grounding episode of Rebuilding Trust with Your Body, host Katie Harvey talks directly to anyone who’s ever had a moment of panic after stepping on the scale or trying on a pair of too-tight jeans. Katie doesn’t sugarcoat the experience—she knows the fear and shame that weight gain can trigger, especially in a world obsessed with thinness. But instead of spiraling into diet culture, she offers compassion, science, and real tools to understand what’s actually happening in your body. From breaking down the toxic messages of “SkinnyTok” to reminding you that your worth isn’t tied to your weight, this episode is your permission slip to breathe, stay grounded, and trust the intuitive eating journey—even when it’s hard.
