438: All the Things Wrong with Me


Listen Later

In this episode, we take inspiration from the iconic “Mean Girls” scene where the Plastics nitpick their flaws. We chat about self-criticism, body image, social media comparisons and how to choose a path of self-acceptance instead. If you're sick of those thoughts... "all the things wrong with me" kinda thoughts... tune in!


This is what we spoke about during the episode

  • Social media and influencers affect the skincare culture which leads to young girls wanting anti-aging products.
  • How do we welcome in less comparison and judgement, and more peace, more acceptance and joy?
  • Practising self-acceptance daily is a reminder of the truth that you are amazing just as you are. This is why we created MerryBody.
  • You can't just practise self-acceptance in the moments where you need it.
  • If you put a pause in between that self-criticism thought, it allows you to add reasoning and questioning of that thought.
  • Carla just laughed off a comment about her postpartum belly. That's self-acceptance!
  • Self-acceptance doesn’t mean complacency. It means taking care of yourself holistically, not just being "thin" or what the world thinks you should look or feel like.


If you're not yet a MerryBody member, sign up for the 7-day trial not just to exercise daily but also to practise self-acceptance.
