Living Full Out -Embracing Your Body Image to Express the Most Authentic You

Season 2, Episode 28: The Living Full Out show with Nancy Solari urges viewers to develop and maintain positive body image so that we can all become more comfortable in our own skin. When we take the time to fully accept who we are on the outside, we can begin to express who we are on the inside without allowing the burden of our insecurities to hold us back. Our first caller, Jessica, is having trouble deciding if she should stay with her long-time boyfriend after finding out he has been unfaithful. Listen in to hear how Nancy urges Jessica to explore where she feels her boyfriend fits into her future and to ask herself if he is strong enough to play a lasting role in her life. The second caller, David, is a musician who is finding it difficult to maintain confidence in his field of study while being surrounded by such talented individuals. Hear how Nancy helps David remember that he is a unique individual that has the ability to bring something special to the field of music and to not let the abilities of others control him. Our inspirational guest today is Decker Moss. Decker struggled for many years to come to terms with his true gender identity. As a young girl with a twin, he found himself torn between his own male identity and the identity he shared with his sister. Listen in as Decker recounts the four decades he spent as a female and how he was finally able to come to terms with his authentic self and make the transition to the gender he always believed he was. Our final caller, Alicia, is trying to find the best way to explain to her birth father’s family that she has been adopted by her step-dad. Hear Nancy explain to Alicia that she just needs to be honest and simply trust that her birth family will still love and support her no matter what. Sometimes we feel that our body image must fit the mold of what others consider normal. But what we often forget is that we each have the power to create our own perception of ourselves. By practicing positive body image we can shut down the voices that inhibit us from living our lives full out.
