32. What Travel Taught Me About Body Image


Listen Later

Traveling has a way of reshaping our views on body image and confidence, doesn’t it? Picture this: my grandparents, who come from a tiny town of just a thousand people, joined us on a whirlwind three-week adventure through France, Greece, and a brief stop in London. Observing my grandma's reactions to the diverse styles, body types, and self-assuredness of people we encountered was nothing short of enlightening. It made me realize that confidence and fashion are incredibly subjective – a truth amplified by the unique ways people around the globe express themselves.

In today’s solo episode, I'm sharing those eye-opening moments and the invaluable lessons they imparted. From the liberating notion that you can wear absolutely anything you love, to the inspiring boldness of older European women who carry themselves with unapologetic confidence, there’s so much we can learn from just watching and appreciating the world around us. Tune in to hear personal stories and insights on embracing your unique self, shedding societal expectations, and living life with the vibrant, unrestrained confidence that you truly deserve. Let’s redefine beauty and body confidence together, one travel story at a time.
