Hey everybody and welcome to RealPod. I'm Victoria Garrick, former D.O. and athlete and mental

health and body image advocate. Every Wednesday I'll be bringing you awesome guests, weekly

inspiration and the realest conversations around everything and anything. Now let's give

you a big break. Hey everybody, it's Victoria here. I wanted to record something different

today because I feel like there is a universal experience that many of us have where we wake

up and we just don't feel good about our bodies. We feel like we are bloated or we are too

and we're unhappy with our body and how we look. And I want to create something today that

you could listen to if you feel that way because I've had many times where I feel that way

and I feel lonely and I feel ugly and I feel not worthy and I just feel alone in it. So if

you are feeling right now like you are gross and your body is not good enough, I hope that

There is nothing wrong with you specifically. You are not the outlier that can't figure it out.

And everyone else has it figured out because everyone else has experienced this and there are

hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands, let's do hundreds of thousands of people waking up

today too, not feeling good about their bodies. So that's the first thing you're human. You're

going to have moments like this. You're going to have days like this. You might have weeks like this

and you are definitely not alone in feeling that way. The second thing I want you to remember

is that feelings are temporary. So this feeling will go and maybe it will come back again, but it will
