Body love can feel impossible in a world obsessed with beauty standards, especially for women. In this self love podcast episode, we’re diving into body love, self worth, and how women can navigate a world that often undervalues them.

This is part of our “Best Of Mary’s Cup of Tea” series where you’ll hear a compilation of clips from our self love podcast. Today’s topic addresses how to love yourself beyond your appearance and approach body image challenges with self compassion.

You will hear about…

• how to be body positive and navigate health challenges with self compassion
• detaching your self worth from beauty standards and external validation
• the slew of socio-cultural forces that make body love really fckn hard for women
• how to decide what clothes to wear when you’re having a bad body image day
• body shame in the bedroom

• practical ways to cultivate body love and self worth

 

Whether you’re starting your journey toward body love or just need a refresher, these conversations will remind you that your self worth is not determined by your appearance.
