Body Like You – Details, episodes & analysis

This week, Aimee explores that familiar jerk inside of our heads: your inner critic.

A strong inner critic is a common experience for people who are driven and love to achieve important things. When it comes to nutrition, fat loss, and other types of body care, your inner critic may be ready to call you names the minute you're not perfect. It may feel like this is what keeps you from going off track. And while that might be true (until it isn't), there's a huge emotional toll to letting your inner critic go hog wild.

The truth is that your inner critic isn't your enemy. She or he exists to protect you from other, scarier things. If you're ready to make peace with your inner critic, you'll need to be willing to do what it takes to let he or she finally take a break.

This week, Aimee discusses why most of us come into fat loss for many different reasons, some having to do with what other people think about us and some having to do with our own body respect. Find out why it's completely normal to worry about how you look naked (no, you are not vain), and why it still in your best interest to cultivate motivation that comes from within.

Welcome to the first official episode of Body Like You! This week, Aimee talks a bit about her history with obesity, food focus, and smoking and the path that took her from struggling with food to helping others with fearless nutrition, body image, and self-compassion.

Welcome to Body Like You!

Perimenopause has become one of the loudest and confusing conversations in health and wellness

In this episode, Aimee Richardson cuts through the noise to unpack what’s actually happening to your body during perimenopause, and what’s just fear-based marketing designed to sell you supplements, programs, and panic.

Drawing from both lived experience and evidence-based research, Aimee explores metabolism myths, fat gain fears, cortisol anxiety, insulin resistance, GLP-1 chatter, and the emotional weight of body changes in midlife. You’ll learn why menopause does not automatically slow your metabolism, what really drives body composition changes, and why you don’t need a “special” perimenopause diet or workout plan to take care of yourself.

This episode also goes deeper into body image, aging, fat phobia, and the profound identity shift that comes with this stage of life. If you’re navigating perimenopause and feeling overwhelmed, betrayed by your body, or pressured to “fix” yourself, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a grounded path forward.

Discipline isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something that emerges when you have the capacity to change.

In this episode, Aimee reframes discipline as an outcome, not a personality trait, and introduces a more compassionate, sustainable approach to behavior change. Instead of relying on restriction, punishment, or willpower at all costs, she explores what actually makes change possible: building emotional, psychological, and logistical capacity.

You’ll learn why many diets and fitness plans quietly create more suffering, how life stress, body image distress, and emotional exhaustion limit your ability to follow through, and why fat loss alone rarely fixes how you feel in your body. Aimee breaks down the real skills required for long-term change, including distress tolerance, emotional regulation, boredom tolerance, and setting goals that are just outside your comfort zone—without triggering burnout or shame.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in cycles of “starting over,” believes they just need more discipline, or is trying to change their body during an already demanding season of life. If you want to treat your body with care and still move toward your goals, this conversation will change how you think about behavior change from the ground up.

Ever feel like you want to get healthier but have no idea where to start? You’re not alone. In this episode, Aimee opens up about losing 80 pounds, quitting smoking, and learning how to care for her body without falling for diet culture traps. You’ll hear why calories aren’t the enemy, how small changes really do add up, and what it means to show yourself compassion while you figure it all out.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why “not knowing where to start” is more emotional than informational — and how to move past that block.
• The surprising truth about calories: they’re not the enemy, they’re your body’s life force.
• How to make small, compassionate nutrition shifts — like tweaking your fast-food order — that move you toward better health without perfectionism.
• Why under-eating can sabotage your goals just as much as overeating.
• How to build sustainable habits rooted in kindness, not shame.

This week Aimee discusses everyone's favorite limiting belief, "I don't have enough time."

We're busier than ever these days, and it feels impossible to do everything well. There's a reason our brains offer up a lack of time as a good reason to not begin or continue health-seeking behaviors. It's so reasonable and feels so true.

Thoughts about time are a useful clue that something else is going on. Find out what and how to deal in this week's episode.

Have you ever felt like it was impossible to eat like a normal person during the holidays? With Halloween upon it, it's the start to the 2025 holiday season. It's a time of anticipation, joy, and excitement, but also pressure, unrealistic expectations, and exhaustion.

There's a story that tends to come with the holiday season around indulgences with food.

The idea that

-this is someone's only chance,

-or that the holidays won't be the same without a particular kind of food,

-or that eating too much or drinking too much don't matter,

tend to abound.

It throws most of us into a black and white space with food and the holidays. Either you eat well and are miserable emotionally or you fully embrace hedonism and feel like crap physically.

This week's pod is all about expanding the concept of eating well and living well during the holidays. The answer to being happy with your holiday experiences isn't confined to just two options. Part of compassionate caretaking for your body and living a full life requires rejecting scarcity thinking and choosing what matters to you.
