I noticed a three-year stretch where I’m barely in family photos, even though I was there., and I don’t want that for you. In this episode, I share 3 practices to shift away from chasing "flattering" and choosing presence instead, so you can be visible in midlife and stop letting pictures decide how you feel about your body.

I talk about:

• Why the point of a picture is the moment, not your good side
• Reframing photos as time capsules rather than auditions
• How to stop letting selfie culture (and the 99 deleted shots) shape how you see yourself
• The reframe I borrowed from a recent guest that I cannot stop thinking about: visibility is generosity
• Why staying in the picture is one of the most powerful things you can do for the women coming up behind yo

I’m sure you have a friend who needs to hear this, so I’d love if you’d share this episode with them! And if this episode helps you keep a photo instead of deleting it, I would love to hear that too. You can always send me fan mail through the podcast website.

This summer, your only assignment is to be in the photo. You don't have to love it. You don't have to feel beautiful in it. You just have to be in it. The moment matters. The world needs more pictures of midlife women living in their bodies.

If this episode resonates and you want real support around body image before summer hits, there are still a couple of spots left in my six-week Midlife Body Image Lab if you're listening before May 16th.
