In the next instalment of our purpose puzzle piece series, we are so lucky to have Sabine McKenzie, founder of Worth Beyond, joining us.

In response to her personal experience with an eating disorder, poor body image and a controlling inner critic, Sabine founded Worth Beyond (formerly Core Confidence), to bring positive body esteem to young people. Introducing preventative education to schools and communities to tackle the ever rising issues of low self esteem and body dissatisfaction.

She is now an eating disorder recovery coach, providing 1-on-1 peer support services to be someone who could not only give people hope that it is absolutely possible to fully recover from an eating disorder but to also provide support in the here and now to help enact the behaviour changes that are necessary to recover.

Together, we wanted to create an episode that explored:

• the relationship between purpose and self-worth
• the impact of social systems (capitalism and patriarchy) on self-worth and body image
• perfectionism and self worth
• the role of lived experience, and strategies for fostering a healthier relationship with our bodies
• practical tips on self-compassion, curiosity, and establishing boundaries
• beginning again regarding our relationship to our bodies and body image, as well as lessons learnt from Sabine in raising her twin daughters
