info_outlineMy son and I just spent 3 days in Northern Italy learning how to ski.
While it wasn't my first time standing on skis, I hadn't skied down any slope in over 20 years. The more I familiarized myself with the ins and outs of this snow sport, the more I recognized all the lessons that learning how to ski holds when it comes to self-love and body image. Why?
Find out in this latest episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast.
In this episode I share:
-
- Why the ski slope is a perfect metaphor for the personal journey toward embracing our body image and practicing self-love
- How skiing is an exercise in vulnerability
- The importance of patience and self-compassion when learning something new
- How to find joy in every moment, even and especially when you heal your body image
- And many more lessons about the impact of (re-)learning this skill has on leadership and personal growth
You know that the journey towards body positivity and self-love is complex and multifaceted. It requires us to embrace our vulnerabilities, practice patience and kindness towards ourselves, and find joy in our personal growth. Learning to ski taught me that every fall is an opportunity to rise stronger and that the true joy lies in the journey, not just the destination.
As you walk the path of learning to accept yourself for who you are, remember to be gentle with yourself, to embrace each fall as a lesson, and to cherish the beautiful, exhilarating journey of becoming your most authentic self. Because you are worth it!

Finally Free – Guided Meditations for Freedom from Emotional Eating
Stop the Binge-Diet Cycle for Real
Emotional eating doesn’t fix emotional problems – even if it feels like it in the moment. It only makes you feel ashamed, guilty and, well, stuffed. With meditation, you can learn to stop, free yourself and create inner balance and healthy (= sane) eating habits again.
