Chelsea Hester: Healing Your Relationship with Food and Body Image

This episode is for anyone who has or had a tempestuous relationship with food. If you’ve ever felt guilty due to food (most of us), this is for you. Chelsea Hester is on a mission to heal people’s relationship with food and our bodies. Learn about subliminal messaging in marketing and how it could be affecting your body image. Also learn how to respond to people commenting on your weight, what you’re eating, the amount you’re eating, etc. Are you aware of how marketing and advertising messages influence you? There’s not many advertisements saying you are great the way you are. Products don’t sell that way. Marketing is mostly based on fear, it’s just how it is. It’s how to grab your attention. It makes you feel like you are missing something. Even when you’re completely content, marketing finds ways to play with your heart strings as to why you need this new thing. And typically, that means you are not good enough. You are not complete unless you get this thing. CHALLENGE: This week’s challenge is inspired by Chelsea: locate and snap a photo of marketing images that imply you are not good enough. Advertisements that shame you into buying it. You should be able to find plenty of examples in the grocery store aisles or even driving down the road. Example, the “guilt-free” ice cream Chelsea talked about. Post a pic and tag @goalinkgroup and @_chelseahester_ with the marketing images you find. Anyone who does this, I repeat anyone. ALL OF YOU. If you post a pic on your story or feed, plus you tag us, Chelsea will do a free 30 minute coaching call with you. Boom! This isn’t a rant to raise up arms against marketing and advertising. This is to increase your awareness so you can make informed decisions.
