In this episode of The Body Shift, Jordan Hutchison explores the theme of connection versus correction, particularly during the holiday season. He reflects on the societal pressures surrounding body image and the pervasive messages that suggest one must change themselves to be worthy of connection.

About Your Host:

Hey there! I'm Jordan, your guide through all things empowerment. As a Boudoir + Personal Brand Photographer, I've spent 10 years, specifically the last 4, diving deep into body image, the shame that comes with being a woman and simply existing in our own bodies, and the importance of nurturing ourselves with devotion and compassion. When I'm not behind the mic sharing Body insights, you'll find me tending to my jungle of plants, cuddled with my dog Hazel, and teaching myself the art of Silk Fans. I started this podcast because I lost years of my life to a toxic relationship with my body and negative self-worth and I'm on a mission to remind not only myself, but each one of you, just how fucking beautiful and powerful we truly are.

My superpower is reminding women of their power and I love nothing more than seeing you own who you are. Through this show, I bring you tough love and tangible tips mixed with trauma informed care and my own personal experiences.
