• Taking Up Space: How Body Shame Steals Your Voice - A Conversation with Sara Chambers

  Do you ever feel like you need to fix your body before you can finally step into the bigger life you want? If the voice in your head tells you that you’re not ‘ready’ to be seen, speak up, or go for your biggest goals until you lose weight, this episode is for you. Today, we are joined by special guest, brand strategist, and author Sara Chambers. Sara is the president of Elly & Nora Creative, helping female entrepreneurs step into visibility and claim authority. She joins us to discuss the core message of her new book, Do It Fat: An unapologetic guide for women who are done waiting for a smaller body before they let themselves be seen, heard, and fully alive. In this honest, heartfelt, and fire-filled conversation, we pull back the curtain on how body hatred steals our visibility, dampens our voice, and limits our impact. Sara offers powerful insight into why we hold ourselves back and how we can choose a different story today. You do not have to wait for a smaller body to live a bigger life. In This Episode, We Cover: The Sneaky Link: Why body shame often shows up right when you try to be more visible in your life and business. The Intellectual Cost: How believing you take up "too much physical space" leads you to take up less intellectual space—hiding your ideas and keeping your brilliance quiet. Visibility is Non-Negotiable: Why your decision, actions, and ambition must be separated from how your body looks right now, or how it might look in the future. The Brand That Never Lives: How an unwillingness to be seen in the body you have prevents your brand from truly living and helping your ideal people. Choosing Your Story: Why beauty and body standards are just trends tied to market culture, giving you the power to choose a different, more liberating narrative. The Media Audit: Sara's practical advice for filling your feed with diverse, powerful women doing big things to support your own confidence and ambition. One Small Step Today: Practical ways to feel more powerful in the body you have right now. Key Takeaways & Quotes: "The only true loss is when you hide and no one gets to see what you offer." "You are allowed to decide you disagree. You are allowed to choose a different story about your body, your time, and how you show up." "When you believe you take up too much physical space, you start taking up less intellectual space." Resources Mentioned: Guest: Sara Chambers, Author and Brand Strategist.
