Life Check Yourself 510 – Confidence, Healing, Identity, Connection & Lasting Change Without Perfection
This week I’m talking with Erin Washington—author, former college athlete, podcast host, and the founder of “Squats and Margaritas.” Erin is a fierce voice for women breaking free from perfectionism, diet culture, and comparison traps. Her story of going from disordered eating and self-doubt to empowered confidence is raw, real, and refreshing. She teaches women how to create sustainable wellness and lasting joy—without shrinking themselves or their lives.
🌟 What You’ll Walk Away With:
- Confidence has nothing to do with perfection.
- Healing starts when the comparison stops.
- Your identity isn’t your body—it’s your energy.
1. Confidence Comes from Owning, Not Fixing 🕐 [08:11]
“I was always striving for this perfection, and when I got there, I still wasn’t happy.”
Explanation:
Chasing perfection creates a cycle of never-enoughness. True confidence is built by honoring progress over performance. The shift from fixing flaws to owning wholeness rewires self-worth from the inside out.
2. Comparison Is the Thief of Healing 🕐 [12:32]
“I had to unfollow the ‘perfect’ moms and start living my real life.”
Explanation:
Healing requires protecting energy from comparison triggers. Constantly measuring against filtered highlight reels feeds shame and erodes joy. Choosing authenticity over aspiration restores inner peace and creates space for meaningful growth.
3. Your Worth Isn’t Measured in Pounds 🕐 [17:45]
“I was finally in a healthy body, but it was still not enough—because I didn’t heal my mind.”
Explanation:
Even external transformation feels empty if internal beliefs remain rooted in scarcity. Sustainable healing happens when identity expands beyond appearance and aligns with truth, joy, and purpose.
