7. Six Things I Unlearned in My Health and Body Image Journey


Listen Later

It's a solo Jess episode! 

Welcome to an enlightening journey as we question and debunk societal misconceptions that have long fueled insecurities about our bodies. We're shedding light on the myth that 'smaller is better' and challenging the notion that your worth is synonymous with your performance. Join me as I bare my own struggle and triumph over these crippling beliefs, and how I discovered a liberating truth: there are no hard-and-fast rules to diet, exercise, or the way you choose to live your life. It’s high time we stop swallowing the media's distorted views about health and size.

In the latter part of our discussion, we’ll tackle a deeply personal process: accepting and altering one's body. Speaking from my experience, I open up about how gaining muscle mass was a transformative chapter in my life, which led me to celebrate, rather than criticize, my body. We'll delve into the importance of introspection and breaking free from comfort zones before electing physical transformation. Finally, let's start a conversation – one that nurtures self-confidence and resilience, one that acknowledges our unique health journeys, and one that encourages others to do the same. Let's stand sturdy together against body-shaming norms. The body-positivity revolution begins with you, and it starts right here, right now. Don't forget to follow, subscribe, or like our podcast!
