Description

This week, I want to dig into what body image really means. On the surface, it seems to be all about thighs, stomachs, and mirrors. But underneath, there are deeper issues like shame, control, fear of rejection, grief, and the desire to fit in.

Asking the simple question: “Then what?” can help us get to the heart of what we’re actually after. Body image isn’t just about how we look; it’s more about the emotions we try to ignore and the beliefs we have about our worth.

🥬 HERE’S WHAT I GET INTO:

• Why body image is just the surface story
• How toxic diet culture distracts us from hard emotions
• Body positivity vs. body neutrality
• The comparison trap and how it keeps us stuck in unrealistic beauty standards
• And a kinder path, and treating your body with respect even if you don’t love it
