What Are You Not Telling Your Husband?

What Are You Not Telling Your Husband?17 aug28 min

In this episode, we talk about a topic that can be uncomfortable for many women: what you are, and aren’t, telling your husband about your struggles with your weight and health. We explore why shame tends to survive in the dark, how to have honest conversations with your spouse, and what it really means to ask for support without feeling like you need permission. We also discuss the hidden cost of waiting, investing in yourself, and why taking care of your health isn't selfish. Ultimately, this conversation is about becoming a team, communicating what you need, and recognizing the example you are setting for your children.

We talk about:

-does your husband know about your weight struggles?

-shame survives in the dark

-having a dismissive spouse

-do you need “permission”?

-expensive is subjective

-investing in yourself
