244. From Diet Culture to Self-Trust Through a Values Aligned Life with Erica Djossa
About this episode
The episode discusses how to transition from diet culture to self-trust by identifying and living according to personal values.
"If we are not clear on what our values are, they will be prescribed for us." Is living by someone else’s “shoulds” quietly running your life? In this conversation with psychotherapist and Momwell founder, Erica Djossa, we unpack how inherited expectations around productivity, motherhood, and diet culture can pull you away from your true values and impact your relationship with food and your body. You’ll leave with practical steps and reflective questions to identify what actually matters to you, build self-trust, and choose peace over burnout. What You’ll Learn: How our definition of health is shaped, and sometimes distorted, by family, society, and diet culture Why living a values-aligned life can anchor your food and body healing journey Simple ways to start untangling the “shoulds” from your true priorities How to use your values as a compass when food rules and comparison creep in Strategies to sort out which values are genuinely yours, and which are inherited or anxiety-driven How self-compassion and curiosity can guide you through value discovery, even when it feels messy or emotional Connect with Erica: Instagram: @momwell Momwell website Erica's website Free Values Sort…
