Show Notes

"We can't control what the world will say to our kids, but we can shape the voice they carry inside. And that voice? It starts with us."--Angela

In this episode:

  • Why the word “fat” is off-limits in our home—and what we say instead
  • How early body image issues can take root, and what we can do to break the cycle
  • The subtle signs of disordered eating and the role control plays in it
  • How to model body kindness and reshape the inner dialogue for our kids and ourselves



In this raw and powerful episode I open up about my personal journey with body image, disordered eating, and the long road to healing. I share the subtle ways shame crept in during my teenage years, how CrossFit helped me reclaim my body, and why my husband and I have banned the word “fat” from our family’s vocabulary.

This isn’t just about raising confident daughters—it’s about reparenting ourselves too. Come along as I offer heartfelt reflections and practical tools for shifting the narrative around body image, food, and self-worth. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt not enough—or worried your daughter might—this episode is for you.

Trigger warning: This episode discusses eating disorders and disordered eating behavior.

If this conversation moved you, share it with a mama friend who needs to hear it.
