YOUR BODY IS YOUR BODY AND NO ONE ELSES. This week we dive into loving our bodies, no matter WHAT! Yes, we know….easier said than done but we want to flip the switch from picking ourselves apart in our minds to affirming all the love and acceptance we have with our bodies, right here, right now. Not sure where to start in flipping that switch? This episode we not only dive into how to do this but also share what molded our own body perspectives throughout the years.

[3:30] The Root of Body Perception. Nina and Nat discuss their body challenges over the years diving into cultural, family and personal experiences. They share not only the negative chatter in their minds but also turning points for leaning into loving where they are at.

[14:18]: The Role of Antidepressants. Nina shares her weight battle with antidepressants and why she just had to chuck the scale.

[19:27] Impact of Body Praise Movements. Nina asks Nat about how she felt with the "real women have curves" movement and how that may have impacted her and vice versa.

[23:05] The Tricky Subconscious. Does our own conscious color the way we think of our own bodies and others? Nina and Nat dive into this question and share how they viewed other women in comparison.

[25:12] Get to the Root. As always we have to touch on uprooting bad habits and defining where your perceptions come from:

• Where is your body affirmation rooted in?

• Who is supporting you or putting you down?

[26:22] The "Real" Woman. Nat and Nina define what a "real" woman is and provide some body positive takeaways:

• Start with loving where you at and that the health journey you begin embarking is for you
• Throw out the damn scale
• Practice positive body affirmations
• Stop comparing yourself to others
• Detoxing from social media and its false standards
• Uproot your underlying lies that have formed these perceptions
• Love your fellow females
