156. Dealing with Unsolicited Comments About Your Body: Transform Unwelcome Advice into Personal Strength


Listen Later

Something that seems to be prevalent now, more than EVER in our society, is receiving unsolicited comments about our bodies.



Today’s episode is actually inspired by a recent message I received from a listener, all about THIS topic. I’ve dealt with it on my own journey, and even if you haven’t, I bet you know someone who has!



For some reason, people feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and opinions on other people’s bodies (typically, women are the ones getting this feedback). This is happening super frequently online with social media, but it happens in person too (i.e. women working out in the gym). 



I’m not sure where people have gotten the audacity to do this, but it is NOT okay to put other people’s bodies down. Words DO matter, and they have consequences.



We really need to get back to the concept of ‘thinking before we speak’ (or type online) - not everything should be spoken out loud!



If you’ve experienced this, I want to urge you to protect your peace, however that looks for you. You are ENOUGH already, and if you need support to keep kicking ass on your fitness journey, I’m here for you! 



In this episode, we cover:

  • Why people are feeling more comfortable than EVER to comment on other people’s bodies
  • The audacity that people have, thinking it’s okay to say the things that they say
  • Normalizing the concept of ‘thinking before you speak’
  • How to protect yourself when someone gives their unsolicited opinion on your body
