Season 13 - From diet pills at 8 to strong for life

At 8 years old, Ricci was put on diet pills.

By 29, she’d spent her entire twenties feeling ashamed of her body, convinced that if she wasn’t suffering…she wasn’t really trying.

In this interview, Ricci sits down with us to share how she went from:

- Growing up with a “starve yourself” mentality and early diet trauma

- ADHD, impatience, all-or-nothing thinking and constant self-criticism

- The fear of never having set foot in a gym

…to over 2.5 years of growing consistency, lifting regularly, fuelling her body, and becoming woman and mother she wants her kids to see.

We talk about:

- The moment she realised: “Nobody is coming to save me.”

- How she stopped equating “progress” with misery and hunger

- What actually changed when she got outside accountability and a long-term plan

- Learning to give herself credit instead of moving the goalposts every time she achieved something

- Why buying “temporary” clothes for her changing body became a powerful act of self-respect

If you grew up around diet culture, feel broken by years of quick fixes, or secretly wonder if you’ll ever “get it together”…Ricci’s story will hit hard—in the best way.
