01 | Rethinking diet culture, feelings, and perfectionism with Simi Botic

I met Simi at Katie Dalebout's book launch for Let it Out: A Journey through Journaling. I knew immediately that Simi was someone special and we instantly connected. In December, Simi released her first book, Letting Go of Leo: How I Broke Up with Perfection. It's fitting that Simi is the first guest on Rethinking it because her book was a major factor in me moving from talking about starting a podcast to actually starting a podcast. In this episode, we look back at the moments in our lives when we picked up stories about our worthiness, the impact diet culture had on our development, and the ways we have sought out control as a means to feel safe. My biggest rethinking it moment was when Simi explained that feelings are not facts and how to feel your feelings without being consumed by them.
