Tired of treating the scale as an identifier of your worth and your body like a project that needs fixing?
Join our 12-week program today!

Be ready to transform your relationship with yourself, break free from the judgmental cycle of diet culture and embrace your body with confidence!
The Embrace Your Body Kick-start Program is for you!
This 12-week program is for women who are ready to say goodbye to the frustration of fitting into old jeans, and hello to a journey of self-love and acceptance, where the number on the scale no longer defines their worth.
During this 12-week program you will:
- Gain a sense of community with other fellow self-acceptance warriors (you will realize that you are not alone)
- Learn what body image is and how we became so dissatisfied with our bodies in the first place
- Recognize the importance of mindfulness and how incorporating it into your life will transform your world
- Learn why diets don’t work
- Identify the Inner Critic (aka The Judge) messages that have unconsciously become your beliefs
- Learn why compassion (vs criticism) is an important element to healing your relationship with yourself, your body, and others
- Determine what self-care means for you and its importance to your overall well-being
- Start appreciating your body for what it does, not what it looks like
- Start feeling like you are WORTHY beyond the number on the scale
- Identify the values that drive you and how they are/are not serving you
- Prioritize your own needs by setting healthy boundaries
- Move your body for joy rather than for punishment
Meet Your Coach:

Hi! I’m Teresa Schmitz, the author of “It Was Never About the Cake” and Owner of My Best Self Yet, a company who helps women stop measuring their worth by the number on the scale and start embracing their bodies with confidence!
I was first teased about my body at the young age of eleven on the elementary school playground. I was participating in a track and field day, when some boys teased me about my chest. From that point on, I thought my body was a project that needed fixing. I started my first diet about a year later.
As an adult, I became a chronic dieter. I was so obsessed with losing weight. My happiness was contingent on the number on the scale. I even sought out a doctor who would prescribe an appetite suppressant to help me lose the weight “for good.” I didn’t think anything of having my then-teenage daughter capture photos of me with my weekly weigh-in weight. Sadly, the message I sent to my daughter: “your worth is measured by the number on the scale.”
At my lowest weight, I was still not happy with my body. I still had low self-esteem, little confidence and equated my worth with my size. I overcompensated my lack of feeling worthy and my unhappiness by further diving into my career. “At least I’m successful there,” is what I thought. I didn’t take care of my own needs and I rarely set boundaries. Everyone and everything else came first.
Just shy of my 46th birthday, I was diagnosed with an eating disorder. All the dieting led to a binge and restrict cycle. I have since fully recovered and healed my relationship with body and food.
I have been on a self-love journey for over eight years. I am dedicated to help other women find freedom and happiness by embracing their own beauty without changing their bodies. No one should feel pressured to alter themselves to meet societal beauty standards. We are all uniquely created by God, and fighting against our bodies won’t lead to happiness. Improving your relationship with your body can bring a newfound sense of peace and joy. You can enjoy life at your size by releasing the struggle to fix your body.
I am truly enjoying life, and thriving, at my size and want to see other women feel the same way!
