Episode 252: What does it really mean to be happy with your body?

from The Diet Diaries · host Jordana Edelstein

There’s a version of today’s conversation that stays polite and surface-level…and then there’s the version I decided to record today.I’m talking about the pressure women feel to “fix” their bodies, why so many of us are trying to escape any sense of emotional discomfort, and what it really means when we say a cosmetic procedure “makes me happy.” This one of the most honest episodes I’ve ever recorded—and if you feel called out and uncomfortable, then I’ve done my job. Because complacency around this is NOT ok. In this episode, I get into:the real reason we feel drawn to surgeries, lasers, and injectionshow social media makes it feel like everyone is doing itthe difference between happiness and reliefwhy peer pressure doesn’t end in middle schoolwhat happens when every woman strives to look the samehow this impacts our kids (yes — even our sons)the internal work I’m choosing to do instead of “fixing” myselfConnect 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
