Episode 70: “What If Nothing Is Wrong With You?” with Geneen Roth

Do you ever feel like something is fundamentally wrong with you — even after years of therapy, self-help, and inner work? You’re not alone, and it’s not too late to heal.

In this episode of Living in the Miracle Zone, Marci Shimoff sits down with #1 New York Times bestselling author Geneen Roth (Women, Food and God) to talk about her brand-new memoir Love Finally: Untying the Knot Between Mothers, Daughters, and Food.

Geneen has spent 40+ years helping women heal their relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves. In this raw, honest conversation, she shares how she finally healed her mother wound at age 70 — and the exact process she used to stop seeing the world through the lens of her childhood wounds.

If you’ve ever felt damaged, broken, “too much,” or “not enough”… if you’ve struggled with negative self-talk, self-criticism, or the belief that you have to fix yourself before you can be loved… this conversation will change how you see yourself.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

– Why most healing work doesn’t actually work — and what does

– How to finally heal the mother-daughter wound (even if she never apologizes)

– The #1 question that interrupts negative self-talk in seconds

– How childhood beliefs become the lens you see your entire life through

– The simple practice Geneen does every morning to come home to herself
