Hear What I Think
Welcome to my blog
Dive into my blog, where I explore key themes related to Weight of Women, offering insights into body image, societal pressures, and the real impact of weight on women’s lives.
In the Debunking Diets section, I unpick popular weight-loss claims, critique diet culture, and provide evidence-based perspectives on why many diet plans don’t work as promised.
Discover practical Living Mindfully practices that can help you shift your focus from how you look to how you feel.
Get an exclusive look into the Behind the Book section, where I share personal stories, challenges, and the creative process of writing my book.
