can we ever heal?: overcoming body image triggers and finding self acceptance


Listen Later

Trigger Warning: In this episode, we discuss body image, body dysmorphia, and the emotional impact of societal expectations on self-esteem. If you’re sensitive to topics surrounding weight, appearance, or eating disorders, please listen with caution.

In part 2, we dive deep into the complex world of body image, exploring the impact of societal pressures, social media, and sports culture on how we see ourselves. Can we ever truly heal from body image struggles, or is it a something we’re always navigating?

We discuss the role parents play in shaping our self-perception and how they can do more to help young people develop healthier relationships with their bodies. We also reflect on what we wish we could take back from our past selves and the changes we want to make moving forward. From shifting our perspectives to removing ourselves from triggering environments, we explore actionable steps toward healing. We tackle difficult questions like: Do we have body dysmorphia, and why is it so normalized? How do we handle those moments when we absolutely hate how we look in a photo or video? Plus, we touch on the unique pressures of body image in sports, where appearance and performance often collide. 

Join us for this honest and thought-provoking conversation about body image, healing, and finding self-acceptance.
