Episode 226: Let's talk about tanning

from The Diet Diaries · host Jordana Edelstein

In this episode, I’m sharing the story behind my recent foray in self-tanning (spoiler: it’s for Ben’s bar mitzvah), and the bigger conversation it sparked about how we see ourselves, especially as summer approaches. This one goes deep into the kind of appearance-based noise so many of us live with all day long... and don’t even realize.We’re talking about:* The pressure to be “tan enough” to wear white* Why body modification often feels like a necessity, not a choice* What it means to feel like yourself vs. trying to look “better”* How to start noticing and quieting the noise in your head about how you lookThis is not a judgment on tanning or makeup or any of the things we do to change our appearance. It’s an invitation to get curious, ask why, and maybe—just maybe—loosen the grip body noise has on your life.And if you want to book a Power Hour session to talk about body noise or anything else you're struggling with as we approach summer, just click here. Connect with JordanaFind me on InstagramSign up for my weekly letter with personal stories and nutrition, body image and mindset tipsSchedule a free discovery call to talk more about working together Listen to more episodes of The Diet Diaries
