I’m unpacking where our body image comes from and how to unpack your own body image origins. I also talk about how this is a systemic and cultural issue that is hardcoded in our DNA, as part of the Body Image Series. Show notes: summerinnanen.com/274 In this episode, I talk about: - How systems of oppression impact body image and how we’re treated in our society, - The importance of knowing that your self-worth isn’t dictated by your appearance or how other people feel about you, - How our culture has taught us that only certain bodies are worthy, - Beauty as social currency, - How the desire to fit beauty standards is hardcoded in our DNA, - How external systems of oppression create internalized oppressions, - Questions you can use to examine your past and be curious about where your body image came from, - Plus so much more!
