CW: body image, body dysmorphia, relationship to food

Have you ever felt confused and betrayed by your body, and wanted to hear how others are moving from self-criticism to self-compassion? In this episode, we catch up about: 

• Earliest influences on our body image (e.g., family, school, peers)
• Questioning influences we took for granted growing up
• How fashion trends have impacted our body image
• The line between compassionate accountability and ill-informed criticism  from others
• Worries about shifting from video calls (during which we only have to show our faces) to in-person hangouts  
• Social obligations that make it more difficult for us to intentionally choose what we eat (e.g., what are ways to extend an in-person hangout other than getting boba and inevitably adding toppings and sugar?)

We end by sharing practices that enable us to form habits that are healthier for us - physically, emotionally, and mentally. As always, we hope you feel seen and supported through our conversation.
