Show notes

What happens when you change everything about your appearance, but still don't feel good enough?

After losing 38 kilograms, Tayla Bubeck discovered that changing her body didn't automatically change how she felt about herself.

In Episode 41 of Into Deep, Geoff Goddard sits down with entrepreneur, coach and podcast host Tayla Bubeck to explore her journey through body image struggles, eating disorders, low self-worth and the relentless need for external validation.

From feeling like the friend who was never attractive enough to building a successful business, Tayla shares how her desire to be liked and accepted shaped nearly every area of her life.

But beneath her achievements was a recurring pattern: putting everyone else's needs before her own.

Together, Geoff and Tayla explore the hidden cost of people-pleasing, how our beliefs shape our identity, and why success, money and physical transformation don't necessarily lead to lasting fulfilment.

Tayla also shares how self-inquiry helped her recognise the patterns keeping her stuck and begin building a life more aligned with who she truly wants to be.
