We just finished a series for the month of May about Mental Health awareness month. I hope you enjoyed the amazing interviews about Eating Disorder, Bipolar, and so much more.
I'm excited to be in a new month! June. As I record this, I have no idea what the summer is going to look like. Will pools be open? Will I go on vacation? In every other summer season, many of us are concerned about being "summer ready." IE tan and toned.
This month we're going to be talking about body image. While we may not be as concerned with being ready for swimsuit season, there are going to be concerns about body image.
80% of women report being dissatisfied with the way they look. 80% that's a lot! 34% of men report being dissatisfied about their appearance.
I'm passionate about talking about body image because it's influenced so much of my story including eating disorder behaviors in my high school and college years.
If you struggle with a negative body image, I want to let you know this matters. How you view yourself deeply matters. I'm excited about the interviews that I have lined up for you this month. We'll be talking to professionals and friends.
