15. Body Image, Bigger Pants, and Breaking the Cycle

Welcome to Season 2 of The Bets Life Podcast! I’m so excited to be back for this next season! I can’t wait for you to listen to all of the incredible guest interviews and solo topics to come.To kick off this new season, I wanted to discuss a complicated and important topic: body image. This episode was inspired by the holiday season and my recent travels. I spent the holidays and my long vacation indulging and enjoying every second. I don’t have any regrets, but when I purchased new pants while on our trip, I had some shame creep up about the size that I was buying. This experience made me think about one of my favorite movie scenes from Eat, Pray, Love – I explain more in the episode.This vacation moment led me to lots of reflection on body image and our ever-changing relationship with our own bodies and self love. While there is a lot of noise about (very) unrealistic or impossible body/beauty standards, most of the time we are our own harshest critic. At the end of this episode, I challenge you to switch the script and focus on ways to love your body.As always, if you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share, and leave a star rating and review.
