What do you wear when your body changes? In this episode, personal stylist Nicole Garfunkel joins us to talk about reclaiming personal style during eating disorder recovery—without body shame or size rules.

Nicole shares her own journey with body image and PCOS, the powerful parallels between food and fashion, and how clothes can either reinforce body shame or support healing. We discuss her trauma-informed approach to closet clearing, why keeping clothes that no longer fit can be emotionally harmful, and how to build a wardrobe that works for your body right now.

Listen in for practical, body-neutral tips for navigating shopping, experimenting with personal style, and reclaiming confidence without chasing trends or sizes.

Dietitian Maria Terry is back — and we're talking about how to have a "sturdy girl season" for body image, resilience, strength and nutrition. From navigating body image in a post-Ozempic world, to embracing strength and self-trust over aesthetics, we dig into grief, aging, and the messy middle of doing health without diet culture.
