Episode 123 - You Don’t Need a New Body—You Need Support

Jan 5

Episode 123 Show Notes

As the new year begins, Tiffany Wickes challenges the exhausting “new year, new body” narrative that so many women—especially moms—feel pressured to buy into every January. In this heartfelt and wide-ranging episode, she makes a powerful case for why your body isn’t the problem… a lack of support is.

Drawing from her own recent experience, Tiffany shares how shifting from self-criticism to compassion—and surrounding herself with the right physical, emotional, and practical support—changed everything. She breaks down harmful wellness messages that equate discipline with worth, thinness with confidence, and constant pushing with health, and replaces them with a more sustainable, life-giving approach.

This episode dives into:

Why your body is adapting, not failing, in your current season of life
How mental load, interrupted sleep, hormones, and caregiving impact health
The difference between controlling your body and caring for it
What real support looks like: nourishing food, rest, gentle movement, asking for help, and simplifying expectations
How the way you talk about your body shapes your children’s relationship with food and self-worth
Small, practical shifts you can make this month to reduce pressure and increase steadiness

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, behind, or tempted to “start over” yet again, this episode is a grounding reminder that health isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about being held better. You don’t need an overhaul. You need compassion, consistency, and support that actually fits your life.
