61: Topless Runner: How Mindset and Self-Acceptance Change Everything

What if mindset—not your body—was the biggest thing holding you back? 

Louise Butcher is back on Wellbeing Interrupted, and in this follow-up to Episode 60, we go even deeper. This time, it’s not about marathons or world records—it’s about what happens when you stop letting other people’s opinions define how you feel in your body. 

And if you haven’t yet listened to last week’s chat in Episode 60, we highly recommend you hit pause and go back to that first. 

Key Episode Takeaways 

• Confidence after mastectomy isn’t instant—it’s a process 
• Letting go of judgment can unlock unexpected freedom 
• My own experience with hormone therapy and body image:  
• Self-acceptance is something we all need to keep working on.
