Confidently She Confidently She +

We’ve been conditioned to think being perfect is the only way we will be valuable or loved, but in my experience, the more people show me their vulnerability, their fears, and their shortcomings the more care and compassion I feel for them. Why should it be any different with how we see ourselves? In this voice note, I’m talking about how the concept of perfection can be harmful, and get in the way of us, enjoying the nuances of life.

Confidence is a skill like anything else and you have to be OK with being a beginner if you ever want to feel like a master. The best way to build confidence in your body, your job, in your public speaking ability, etc is through consistent imperfection. This is how you learn and I hope this raw, unedited audio helps show you everyone is imperfect and you don’t have to be flawless to be valuable.

I learned I had mental health issues because of my body image. I didn't think of the two as related, I just thought that's how I thought about myself. But a negative body image is definitely a mental health issue. You can’t have a conversation about mental health without including body image and I think that’s overlooked in the conversation, so I'm talking about it on this episode.

Body image isn't something you have to "manage" or "deal with" it's something you can fix! It's a powerful tool in strengthening your mental health (not to mention it does wonders for your physical health, too!)

Negative body talk is normalized in our culture to a point you might not realize you're doing it. It's become its own genre of comedy, especially for women, but I'd like to UN normalize this kind of thing. We shouldn't make fun of our bodies in an attempt to avoid criticism or "say it before someone else does" that's not what confident women do. Confident women over come negative body talk and this episode gives you my strategies and tips for how to have positive self talk.

The phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" can be used to take away our agency and make women dependent on the validation of others. In this episode of Confidently She + I break down an epiphany I had about beauty and how to think about your own.

Welcome to season 4! We're getting started with a BANG because I'm sharing my personal journey of body image healing. The result of building a positive body image is the absence of stress and pain. I explain how it feels like the freedom to just do things. I'm sharing my "Big 4" body image issues that I struggled with, the breakthroughs I made to heal them, and how I think about these 4 things now that I'm fully confident and comfortable in my body.
