Description: In this honest and empowering episode of the Please Me Podcast, Eve sits down with Rachel Lavin to explore the complex relationship between body image, self-sabotage, and self-acceptance—especially within the world of fitness and performance. Rachel opens up about her personal struggles with negative self-talk and the pressure to maintain a certain image as a fitness professional. She shares how self-sabotaging thoughts can quietly impact confidence, identity, and overall well-being, even for those who appear strong and disciplined on the outside. Together, Eve and Rachel unpack the deeper emotional layers behind body image, highlighting how true confidence isn’t built through perfection, but through self-awareness, compassion, and acceptance. They explore the journey of learning to trust your body, challenge internal narratives, and redefine what it means to feel good in your own skin. Of course, the conversation also touches on intimacy and “sexy time,” discussing how body confidence directly influences desire, connection, and the ability to be present in intimate experiences.
