OUR HOSTS:

Natalie McMillan - @nataliemcm and @shopnataliemcmillan 

What we're drinking: Josh Cellars Sauvignon Blanc 2020 

TOPIC: 

It’s that time of year again where people are wearing less and lighter clothing, going to the beach, and spending more time outside enjoying the sun. But, for a lot of us, summer can trigger negative body image thoughts and bring up pressure to look a certain way. We’re rejecting the idea that there’s such a thing as a ‘bikini body’ and talking about ways to protect your mental health during this season. Perceived body image often isn’t based in reality一it’s actually influenced by self-esteem, imagination, emotions, and physical sensations of and about our bodies. We believe that Hot Girl Summer is a mindset and we’re here to help you live out your Megan Thee Stallion dreams. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• The four main aspects of body image 
• The seven factors that influence how you feel about your body 
• Examining how certain sports pressure people to conform to a specific body shape 
• Why we need to stop using the term ‘summer body’
• Reasons to ditch the scale 
• Practicing positive self-talk 
• Techniques for protecting your mental health on social media
