From Body Negativity to Body Love: Reframing How We See Ourselves / Ep 132

Why is it so hard for us to love our bodies? In this episode, we explore the pervasive body negativity women are taught from an early age—and what it takes to shift that narrative. Inspired by a moving presentation from Tara, we dive deep into how we speak about, think about, and experience our bodies. Instead of focusing on what our bodies look like, we celebrate what they do. We share personal reflections, powerful mindset shifts, and a call to action to rewrite the script—not only for ourselves but for the next generation. It’s time to write our bodies love letters!
