My Mission:
EMPOWER FAT PEOPLE
Hey there.
I’m Stephanie Lessmeier (she/her). I work with adults that feel like shit when they see their double chin in the mirror, would rather cancel than sit in a flimsy chair at a new restaurant, and dread being seen naked during sex. Feeling seen? Keep reading to see how I can help.
I am a fat woman in a fatphobic world, so I get what it’s like. I bet you’re:
Pretty self-judgy when (IF!) you look at yourself naked
Saying horrible things to yourself
Getting preoccupied with your body during sex
Having trouble feeling connected to your body
Avoiding new experiences because you don’t know if that seat will hold you or if your body will fit
Downplaying your needs because you’re scared of being rejected or made to feel that you don’t matter.
I can bet this because I’ve also been pummelled by fatphobia. I truly get it. I’ve done my own work to recover and I have learned how to fucking thrive as a fat woman, and I get to share that knowledge with YOU.
I’m a homebody and introvert that loves talking to people one-on-one. I love finding comfort in my body (cuddling is the best), compassionately allowing myself to learn new things on my own timeline, I get fixated on things in true ADD fashion, and I am currently all about the video game Potion Permit.
“I care. I care a lot. It’s kinda my thing.”
Let’s be real: You probably have a love/hate or hate/hate relationship with your body. A sprinkle of imposter syndrome. You’re really hard on yourself. You follow rules and people please because you’re scared of rejection. Your whole body cringes when you see a picture of yourself. I have been there and done the work. If you struggle this shit then I am just the therapist for you.
