From Corset to Crown
by Carrie Lupoli
Why Everything You’ve Been Told About Eating Healthy Is Wrong
About this podcast
Most women aren't struggling because they lack discipline, knowledge, or willpower. They're struggling because no one ever told them about the corset.
It shows up in how they eat and how they feel about their bodies. But it doesn't stop there. It's in the pressure to perform, to be perfect, to hold everyone else together while quietly coming apart.
The corset is stitched together by the diet industry, the beauty industry, pharmaceutical companies, workplace culture, social media, and the impossible expectations placed on women to be everything to everyone. Every system profits when women believe they're a problem to be solved, and none of them were built to make you healthier.
They were built to keep you confused and dependent. They lace you into a corset and then blame you for not breathing.
You've been taught that exhaustion is normal, that shrinking is strength, and that peace, confidence, and freedom are waiting on the other side of finally fixing yourself.
That's the trap. And you can't change what you can't see.
From Corset to Crown is for women who are done being buried under pressure they never asked for. Each week, host Carrie Lupoli, behavioral transformation expert, Board Certified Nutritionist, bestselling author, and the woman they call the Crown Straightener, cuts through the noise with behavioral science, the real science of what your body needs, and the truth most people won't say out loud.
Because the healthiest version of you has nothing to do with a meal plan. It has everything to do with knowing who you are, what you want, and why you want it.
The crown was always there. It just needs straightening.
Welcome to From Corset to Crown. New episodes every week.
