Think body positivity is the key to a healthy body image? Think again. We're Jess and Megan from Sturdy Girl, and we're here to challenge that narrative. We're on a mission to unpack what it really means to cultivate a healthy body image, and we've discovered it goes way beyond body positivity. Join us on our personal journeys, from fitness training to deciphering the media's portrayal of body positivity. We'll also be delving into the reality of how social media has twisted the true essence of body positivity and the destructive consequences of this distortion.

But it's not all about the problems. We also focus on solutions and alternatives. We lay bare the concepts of body neutrality and acceptance, shining a light on their significance and their role in fostering self-compassion and understanding. We'll share how these principles can be infused into your daily life, leading to a healthier, more balanced perspective towards your body. And we'll explore Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a method that can help us develop a body-neutral mindset, and discuss its foundations.

In our finale, we turn our attention to body acceptance, body image flexibility, and their crucial roles in shaping a healthier approach to body image. Drawing from our personal experiences, professional insights, and recent studies, we'll share strategies to foster body acceptance. We'll conclude by emphasizing the critical nature of self-respect and self-care to our body image. Join us on this enlightening journey that could revolutionize your perspective on body positivity and body acceptance. It's time to shift our focus from appearance to living the fulfilling life we deserve!
