Have you ever felt like you’re carrying a heavy secret—one that no one knows about? In this episode of Outweigh, Leanne Ellington dives deep into the struggle that so many women face but rarely talk about: feeling trapped in a hidden battle with food, body shame, and self-judgment.

Leanne opens up about her own experience of being stuck in a “food and body prison” while presenting a happy face to the world. She breaks down how shame isolates us, making us feel broken, and why this isn’t just about food or weight—it’s about the stories we tell ourselves and the shame we carry silently.

Through real-life examples of her clients’ struggles—like the superwoman hiding her midnight binges or the woman avoiding social events out of fear of being judged—Leanne explains why no diet, workout plan, or mantra will break this cycle. The solution isn’t another diet or exercise routine. It’s healing your self-image and rewiring the relationship you have with yourself.

If you’ve ever felt like food struggles were your “dirty little secret” and wondered why you can’t just “get it together,” this episode is for you. Leanne shows how breaking free isn’t about more willpower—it’s about breaking out of the shame prison and reclaiming your sense of self-worth.
