How Do We Break the Mold of Generational Diet Culture? With My Cousin, Carly Loveman

In this episode, I sit down with my cousin, Carly Loveman. We discuss all things body image, from a recent diet culture conversation we had in our family, to growing up in a prominent diet culture environment, to navigating how to speak up for yourself amongst family members. Carly shares body commentary that influenced her self-image growing up, her history with anxiety around clothing and dressing for events, and the work she has put in post-pandemic to cultivate self-love. We also discuss the concept of “flattering” clothing, why we sometimes feel the need to dress sexily, and how confidence and positivity are contagious.
