S3:E4 - When Healing Became More Important Than Weight Loss

About this episode

Amber Semerau shares her personal journey of prioritizing healing over weight loss after years of struggling with her body.

For more than 13 years, I’ve been trying to figure out my body. In this episode, I share the journey of diets, exercise programs, stress, motherhood, migraines, and major life transitions—and what began to change when I stopped trying to fix my body and started trying to heal it. Maybe your body isn’t broken. Maybe it’s been carrying more than you realize.
