Hey there, fabulous listeners! Ever wondered why it seems like we're always setting these ideal body standards for ourselves, and why we let them influence how we feel and live? You're not alone!

In today's episode, we unravel some of these body expectation mysteries and how they interplay with our unique journeys and choices.

We dive into the fascinating history of body standards and how they've changed over time. I share how these ideals are often linked to economic factors, like how weight represented wealth in some eras, and why cultural norms shouldn't dictate how we see ourselves today. We talk about the freedom of loving yourself just as you are, regardless of the societal pressures to fit into a predefined mold.

So, grab a cup of something cozy, look at yourself in the mirror with love, and share a smile with someone today. Let's break free from the chains of unrealistic standards and celebrate being perfectly imperfect. Ready to spread that positivity? Let's go!
