In this episode of The Whole Woman Podcast, Rachel interviews her dear friend and co-host, Kim Mosiman—author of Reflections of Joy: Learning to Love the Woman You See While Becoming the One You’re Meant to Be.

Together, they explore the powerful themes behind Kim’s book, from body image and emotional healing to the life-changing practice of journaling and embracing self-love in midlife.

Kim opens up about her spiritual transformation, food freedom, and finding joy in the mirror again. They discussreal-life moments—like the dressing room meltdown, morning walks with God, the freedom of not chasing the scale, and how journaling became an act of self-advocacy during menopause.

If you’ve ever felt at war with your reflection, rushed your healing, or lived by “someday” goals—this episode is your permission slip to slow down, love your right-now self, and start living fully.

Topics We Cover:

• Letting go of perfection and embracing authenticity
• The emotional toll of body shame (and how to break free)
• Why we need before photos for us, not for the scale
• Journaling as a healing and health-tracking tool
• The power of morning rituals, gratitude, and saying “thank you”
• How self-love changes everything—even your health journey

In this episode of The Whole Woman Podcast, Kim interviews co-host Rachel Lavin about her deeply honest and empowering book, The Donut Diaries. What started as a fitness memoir turned into a powerful story of healing, self-discovery, and letting go of shame around food and bodyimage.

Rachel opens up about the “lightbulb moment” with a client that changed the way she viewed nutrition, why rest is now a top priority, and how she’s learning to embrace her body at every stage—including menopause. They dive into what true health looks like beyond the scale and how women can rewrite the toxic messages they've been handed for decades.

What you'll hear:

• How Rachel wrote her book during COVID in just 3 months
• Her shift from restriction to food freedom
• Tips for advocating for yourself at the doctor’s office
• Real talk about rest, aging, and finding peace in your own skin
• Why choosing happiness is more powerful than chasing it

If you’ve ever felt at war with your body—this episode is for you.
