17| Overcoming Self-Hate

It's common for many of us to dislike some things about our bodies. We often compare our bodies to that of others and think that life would be so much easier if only we looked like "so and so". But what happens when it becomes too much? For Cat, what started out as disliking some parts of her body ballooned into self-hatred and loathing. Her body began to develop earlier than most girls, so she was being sexualized by older men while still in her teens. She was body shamed by dance teachers and constantly reminded how much she "needed to change" from those around her. It's no surprise that over the years, this has all amounted to an intense feeling of not being enough and feeding her mind with vicious self-talk. Cat has finally begun to understand that this way of thinking is hurtful and self-limiting, and some changes have got to be made. There's NO WAY that Cat or anyone can expect to achieve the fullness of happiness and success with this kind of mindset. Along the way, Cat has discovered self-love boosters that have helped her tons during her lowest days and shares her TOP 5 faves with you!

Quote of the Week "We cannot live in a world that is not our own. A world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is no a home. Part of the terror is to take back out our listening. To use our voice. To see our own light."-Tara Brac Keep Up With Cat Subscribe to the show to ensure you don't miss out on any episodes!
