Body Image Perception changes in menopause. What do you tell yourself about your aging body, in menopause? I speak candidly about being naked in our 50's, about dating, and about our experience with younger women, who may get "chosen" over younger women.
Have you seen the movie It's Complicated with Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep? This inspired my episode today, and had me thinking about how we feel about our bodies. The conflict with our changing bodies, the messages we have absorbed about our aging changing bodies.
This episode touches on:
Sexism in mainstream movies.
Body shame and body conflict, through stages of post-partum and then aging.
My delusional thinking that mat leave would give me so much "time to work o myself"
The feeling of loss for our younger body.
Adopting a Health at Every Size approach to aging.
