This week, we’re chatting about body image. Everyone has a body image and it can be pretty shitty sometimes. Between what we heard growing up, models, celebrities, marketing, and social media, we have been given countless contrasting beauty ideals. It’s impossible to keep up with. So we’re talking about how we’ve held that tension throughout the years, our own experiences with our body images, what it feels like to deal with bad body image days, how social media influences us, and the way the ideal body image has changed over time.
Trigger Warning: we mention some experiences with anorexia and bulimia. If that is a sensitive topic for you, feel free to skip this one!
