In this episode, I'll share some personal stories and insights from my own journey towards body confidence.

We'll also explore three game-changing strategies that have transformed the way I view and feel about my body.

Personal Stories: The Rocky Start


My journey towards body confidence began with a challenging period in my life.
Becoming a mother at a young age and being in an unhealthy relationship triggered negative thoughts about my body.
These experiences led to disordered eating habits and an unhealthy obsession with exercise.

Seeking Help and Healing


Recognizing the need for help was a turning point in my journey.
I sought therapy and guidance from coaches to address my mindset and body image.
It's crucial to understand that healing is a gradual process that takes time and effort.

Strategy 1: Styling the Body


One of the pivotal strategies that improved my body confidence was finding inspiration from mid-sized fashion influencers on Instagram.
These individuals had bodies more similar to mine and taught me how to style myself in ways that made me feel comfortable and confident.

Strategy 2: Embracing Comfort


Comfort plays a vital role in feeling confident in your body.
I pay close attention to how my body feels during different hormonal phases and choose clothing that aligns with my comfort.
Establishing a morning routine, even a simple one like makeup application, can significantly impact self-esteem.

Strategy 3: Strength Training


Strength training isn't just about physical strength; it's about mental and emotional strength too.
Challenging my body with weightlifting and resistance exercises has improved my physical well-being and bolstered my self-confidence.
If you're new to strength training, don't worry; you can start with shorter workouts and gradually progress.

The Power of Feeling Good


Feeling good in your body can lead to positive changes in your health behaviors.
It's important to understand that you don't have to love your body all the time; body neutrality is a valid and empowering state.
Focus on feeling good, as it can act as a catalyst for change.

Body Autonomy and Final Thoughts


Your body, your choices – it's crucial to have the autonomy to make decisions about your body based on your desires and goals.
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to body confidence, and open and honest conversations about it are essential.
Your journey is unique and beautiful in its own way.

In this podcast episode, I share my personal insights and experiences related to making positive changes in various aspects of life, including health, nutrition, and fitness. I emphasize the importance of approaching these changes in a sustainable and manageable way, rather than falling into the trap of all-or-nothing thinking.

I discuss my approach to setting goals and why I advocate for breaking them down into 90-day intervals, highlighting the benefits of reflection and adjustment during this process. I address the common mistake of not allowing oneself to reflect on what's working and what's not, which often leads to an all-or-nothing mindset prevalent in diet culture and the wellness industry.

I then delve into a 30-day challenge I've undertaken to give myself direction and focus. This challenge involves dedicating 15 minutes per day to a continuing education course, with the rule that missing a day means starting over. I explain how this challenge, despite its simplicity, has taught me valuable lessons about consistency, commitment, and the importance of not falling into the trap of an all-or-nothing mindset.

Throughout the episode, I stress the idea that failure should be viewed as feedback rather than a reflection of one's identity. I share personal anecdotes and encourage listeners to adopt a more balanced and sustainable approach to self-improvement.

The episode offers insights and lessons that can be applied not only to health and fitness but also to various aspects of life, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to create positive change with a more compassionate and adaptable mindset.
