"You get to decide your worth. No one can give it to you. No one can take it from you when your foundation is based on how much you love yourself. Loving yourself isn't egotistical, it's not selfish, it's a gift that you give yourself so that you can give to the world." —Beckie Kullberg
Hating your body is exhausting. It steals your joy, warps your confidence, and turns every mirror into an enemy. What if you could break that cycle—not by changing your body, but by changing the way you see it?
Beckie Kullberg is a body confidence coach who’s lived the war with the scale, the punishing workouts, and the mirror that never gave a compliment. She rebuilt her relationship with movement, food, and self-worth—and now helps women over 40 do the same. Her work is grounded in both personal transformation and practical, real-world strategies.
In this episode, Heather and Beckie unpack the damage of diet culture, how to reframe exercise as joy instead of punishment, and the power of mirror work for self-respect. Beckie also shares raw stories about hiding from cameras, learning to hike without shame, and letting go of the scale’s grip, plus simple, daily practices to shift your mindset, take up space unapologetically, and finally treat your body like a trusted teammate.
