Man vs Body Image (Part 1 – Physical Insecurity)

The first of a four-part mini-series. Let’s take a look in the mirror.After taking The First Step in Episode 1 and learning to open up in Man vs Talking (Episode 2), this week we kick off a brand new four-part mini-series on something a lot of us quietly battle with: body image.In Part 1, we’re looking inward — the stuff we carry about how we see ourselves. From childhood bullying and emotional eating, to gym floor anxiety and the pressures we put on ourselves just to feel “okay” in our own skin. There’s also talk of therapy (specifically EMDR), weight as a trigger, and the surprisingly emotional journey that is trying (and failing) not to eat your father-in-law’s ice cream.Also, Tim gets tangled up in lycra, has an epiphany mid-warmup, and a very awkward towel-based Instagram locker room encounter with a topless influencer sparks a surprising realisation.Get in touch!
