What to Say For Me
Peace with Your Body and Food—for You and Your Kids
Are you a parent who’s grappled with body image, tried countless diets, or felt frustrated by endless attempts to reshape your body? Meanwhile, you're aware your kids are looking to you as their role model—watching, listening, and perhaps beginning to internalize those same struggles with body image and food.
It often feels like a cycle without an end. And it is painful.
But you’re not alone.
There is a way out and forward that will support you to find peace with your body and with food.
What to Say For Me
What to Say for Me is an online course created for parents and caregivers who want to end the cycle of body dissatisfaction, dieting, and self-criticism. During these eight weeks you will gain fresh insights, practical tools, and compassionate support to positively support your relationship with food and body—while also learning ways to support your kids' confidence and well-being with their body and food.
The course launches Wednesday, January 8, 2025.

Meet Your Facilitator, Lisa Radzak
As executive director of WithAll, a nonprofit working to help young people feel good in their bodies and with food, Lisa brings a unique blend of expertise and empathy to her work, helping parents and role models shift how we talk about bodies, food, and self-worth. Having lived many years of painful body image and harmful thinking and behaviors with food which culminated in an eating disorder followed by recovery, Lisa knows the complex, often painful, relationship many of us have with our bodies. She’s also a mother and her mission is to help create a different path for her daughter and all young people—a path of growing up where self-worth is never tied to appearance and all bodies are appreciated.
Lisa has met with hundreds of parents whose children have battled eating disorders, as well as individuals navigating recovery. She knows that the harmful messages we grow up with, even if well-intended, have a profound and lasting impact. Through What to Say for Me, she wants to help others "unlearn" the harmful beliefs about our body and food that cause harm and hold us back, for ourselves and future generations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to join the live sessions?
All sessions are recorded and emailed to you the next day, so you can catch up on your own time.
What if I’m new to these concepts?
This course meets you where you are with beginner-friendly, welcoming guidance. Understanding the sensitive nature of body image, food, and self-worth, we approach each topic with care, offering evidence-based tools to help you transform your mindset. Whether you’re just starting, seeking deeper understanding, or simply checking in, this course supports your journey with confidence.
What is the expected level of participation in the course? Do I need to speak or appear on camera? Is there homework?
The course is designed to be self-guided and flexible, allowing you to participate in a way that best suits your life stage and personal preferences.
During the course, attendees will be muted and off-camera to ensure the content is delivered efficiently within the allotted time. However, you are encouraged to ask questions or share feedback in the chat, which will be collected and shared with the presenter after the session. If time permits, some questions may be addressed at the start of the next session.
There are no formal homework assignments, but you will receive a follow-up email with reflective prompts to consider before the next session. While you are not required to report back, you will have the option to submit your thoughts, questions, or feedback anonymously through a form included in each email.
Is this course similar to eating disorder treatment?
Not at all. Eating disorder treatment is specialized behavioral health care that is offered by licensed healthcare providers. Specialized treatment is an essential component of eating disorder recovery. WithAll is not a behavioral health treatment provider.
WithAll encourages anyone who believes they may have an eating disorder or disordered eating to talk to an eating disorder treatment provider before further considering this course.
Is this course only for women?
While the facilitator’s examples and anecdotes may reflect her personal experiences as a woman, this course is designed to be inclusive of all gender identities. Everyone is welcome to participate, regardless of gender.
What if I’m not a parent? Will it still be helpful to me?
Yes, absolutely! If you struggle with body image or your relationship with food, this course is for you, whether you’re a parent or not. Our focus is on shifting harmful beliefs and creating healthier relationships with food and body image, which can benefit anyone. Even if you’re not a parent, you are likely a role model for someone in your life—whether that’s a friend, sibling, or colleague—and the insights and tools you gain can help you lead by example. Plus, you can share what you learn with others, including parents, to help create a ripple effect of positive change.
Why is WithAll equipped to give this course?
All of WithAll’s programming and resources relies on research and partners with expertise (in numerous fields, including psychology, dietetics, child development, eating disorder prevention, eating disorder recovery, and healthcare). We work to bring this research and expertise to the public in formats that are clear and actionable.
What to Say for Me is no different. The course is based on research-backed strategies for improving body image and food relationships, while drawing on real-life experience to make scientific concepts relatable and actionable.
Does this course offer medical advice?
No. This course does not offer medical advice. The course facilitator is not trained or licensed in behavioral health treatment or medical treatment.
We encourage anyone who has a medical condition, or who thinks they may have a medical condition, including a behavioral health condition such as an eating disorder, to speak with an eating disorder treatment provider or their personal medical provider if they have questions about whether or not this course is appropriate for their health.
Transform how it feels to live in your body and with food in ways that serve as a healthful and positive role model for the young people who look up to you. Join us and start 2025 by building a healthier, more positive legacy for yourself and your children.
