For YEARS I have wanted to open the dialogue on the human experience; to educate people on how to love their bodies, and to see others in a more loving and informed way. Until I settled on podcasting, I didn’t know how.

I was in fourth grade when an adult commented on my weight for the first time.

I was in high school when I encountered my first relationship with a man that made me feel less-than.

In college, when I was faced with weight gain like I had never experienced, all the scripts I had learned throughout my life played in my head, letting me know I wasn’t good enough in the growing body I occupied.

Then came motherhood, body changes, seasons of growth—it all came together, and at some point I realized that I’d had ENOUGH of the self-doubt and shame; that I AM enough to love my body and others. But how?

As an adult—whatever that means—I’ve regained the self-confidence I had lost, and have found even more than I knew was possible. I’ve discovered self-expression in everything from my offbeat clothing choices to my grooming and how I feel about my hair.

—Then it hit me—

If I can go from being a depressed, suicidal teenager, to being a thriving, HAPPY, business-owning hippie, then my story can inspire others to do the same. And if MY story can help others, just imagine what we can all accomplish together.

I realized by sharing the experiences of others and providing them a platform to talk about their journey to self-love, we could help others achieve the level of confidence they deserve. This isn’t a story about my life, or where I am with my body. It’s a collection of OUR stories, meant to empower us to feel good from within.

So, welcome to The Body Story Podcast. This is the story of all of us. I’m making it up as I go, and I hope that you’ll join me on the journey.

Much love,
Tiffany
