The Problem with Loving Your Body

There's a really specific reason that I decided the subtitle of my new book, The Core 4 couldn't be, "Love Your Body, Own Your Power." It has to do with how we put self-love on a pedestal as the be-all, end-all way to approach personal growth and transformation in the wellbeing space. While I think most people who encourage you to "love your body" mean well, if you're in the depths of really negative body image, lacking self-confidence, and struggling with self-acceptance, self-love can feel like an impossible pipe dream. So what else is there? In this episode, I'm presenting another option for a middle ground where you can be neutral about your body. I'm discussing why it may be more helpful and why you don't have to earn the right to take care of and respect your body. My hope is that by the end, you may realize there's a neutral place you can think about instead of being dismayed at the idea of having to love every single bit of your body 24-7. In this episode I covered: Why words are important & why I changed the subtitle of the book The sticky stuff about self-love Why neutrality is a valid option What neutrality might look like Harder to Kill Radio is sponsored by the Nutritional Therapy Association. Registration is now open for the NTA's September classes.
