In episode 58 of Sturdy Girl, host Jess delves into the concept of body image flexibility as an empowering alternative to positive body image. She critiques the limitations of the 'love yourself' mantra and emphasizes the importance of accepting body image fluctuations. Jess explains how body image flexibility can reduce distress and disordered eating while improving mental health. She outlines practical ways to develop this skill, such as noticing and naming negative thoughts, using diffusion techniques, and practicing self-compassion.
