How perfectionism gets in the way of healthy eating: Courtney

March 1, 2026

You can do everything “right” and still not feel like you're "good enough".

In this episode, I talk with Courtney, a health coach and former dancer, about growing up in diet culture, and how looking healthy on the outside doesn't always reflect how we feel on the inside.

We talk about why weight loss so often backfires (hint: it's not your fault!).

And we also talk about how perfectionism undermines consistency. 

Courtney shares how becoming a mother made her realize that there's a gap between looking healthy and actually feeling well.

She explains how that insight changed the way she approaches health today.
