In this episode, let’s chat about beauty ideals and body image. Because today’s unrealistic standards for what is beauty, and the societal standards we experience, absolutely sets the stage for our own body image beliefs.
I mean how could it not? Sit and think about this: what are the images of women you saw growing up? What did they look like? I know for me it was Barbie dolls and princesses on Disney. What were your mothers or other adult women around you talking about as you grew up? For me, dieting and controlling food and our bodies was just the norm of what conversations among women looked like.
Listen to today’s episode to learn how beauty ideals impact your own body image, and the differences between self expression versus self objectification.
In this episode I reference the books: The Beauty Myth, Invisible Corset and More Than a Body.
Today’s episode is brought to you by our signature program, Food and Body Peace Playbook (FBPP). FBPP is an 8 week online course & group coaching program that will help you build lasting food freedom, better body image & sustainable health habits that stick.
If you're ready to stop dieting forever and make peace with food and your body I’d love to see you as one of the 20 spots inside the program when it opens for January. That means you can start off 2022 making the decision to say NO to diets that don’t work and YES to intuitive eating and a lifetime of treating your body well.
