#81 - Teri Hofford / Unf*cking how we see our bodies

On today’s episode of the podcast, we were thrilled to be joined by the lovely Teri Hofford. Teri is a body image educator, bestselling author, photographer and TedX speaker who helps people unf*ck their beliefs around bodies and business so that they can move closer to their most authentic selves. We were very excited to have a conversation with her today about all things relating to body image – the meaning that we make out of our bodies and where those thoughts come from, how we can reframe negative thoughts about ourselves, what confidence can look like for different people, and why being curious is so important when it comes to shifting the way we think and feel about our bodies.  Find Teri here: https://terihofford.com/ Or on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terihofford Timestamps:  00:00 – Intro  00:50 – What Teri does and how she got involved working in this space 03:06 – 5 reasons you look bad in photos  06:50 – Using photography to explore difficult subjects 08:44 – How to change your attitude towards your body 11:10 – Treat yourself like you’d treat a friend  13:07 – 3 steps to reframing negative body talk  16:17 – The impact of asexuality on body image 23:55 – Most common myths about body image + confidence  27:40 – Teri’s project celebrating bodies as they are  30:30 – Body Image Bootcamp: what it’s all about 33:34 – Being able to freely exist in your body 35:10 – Our bodies are a representation of what we feel about ourselves 40:14 – Teri’s message to her younger self  42:16 – Why we have to be intentional to reframe our thoughts about our bodies 45:02 – You’re not as special as you think you are 49:04 – Where to find Teri  50:05 - Conclusion -----------------  Check out our books, 'How to talk with your kids about porn' and 'The Organ Education Forgot', available at https://www.sexinspace.com/books to download or buy.  Follow us here: https://www.instagram.com/sexinspacedotcom https://www.tiktok.com/@sexinspacedotcom https://www.facebook.com/sexinspacedotcom https://www.youtube.com/@sexinspace For more info, check out our website at: https://www.sexinspace.com/  Hosted on Acast.
