Confidently She

Welcome back my friends! I'm excited about this episode. This is a big one and it's really important. Today we're talking about the holidays and boundaries. The holidays are a funny little time where everybody thinks that they can use it as an excuse to do whatever they want and sometimes to be really toxic. Maybe this refers to family members, a partner (or ex-partner), your relationship with food, or your relationship with your body. Knowing what your boundaries are with other people is important, especially around the holidays. But knowing what your boundaries are with YOURSELF around the holidays is even moreeee important.

Don't let the poor audio quality stop you from getting HYPE listening to this episode! We're talking food, which is a touchy subject that shouldn't be! Queen, we can't avoid food!!

Okay? We can't avoid it. One of the reasons this feels so big and so heavy is because you're faced with it every day. You can't avoid food like you can avoid shopping if you're a shopaholic or bring home work if you're a workaholic or whatever...

You are faced with making decisions about food multiple times a day. Today on Confidently She, I want to encourage you around this thought: food is designed to be enjoyed and help you express who you are and what you're feeling! In fact, it's your responsibility to your body is to make sure it has energy. Food is a kind way for you to serve and honor your body.

Lean into this episode and hear my heart when I say...food is not the enemy.

The audio quality is poor, but the content is FIRE!! In this episode, I'm talking about timelines..... turning 30, staying relevant as a woman, and all this pressure we feel as women to get things done in a certain amount of time and to hit certain milestones before we reach a certain age. Cultural timelines of expiration dates on your career, relationships, when you can have certain things in order to be "impressive'. Because it's not just our bodies that have these as women. Why do we have these ridiculous timelines on how quickly everything in our life needs to happen? What fundamental belief does a timeline point to? Listen to this episode to hear me unravel allll of this.

Why do we think of ourselves as a body? Our brains are trained to think certain things about ourselves because of today's culture. Feeling like you ARE what your body looks like. Feeling like you ARE the appearance of your body. That is your identity. That is who you are. In this episode, we're going to talk about why we feel this way as women. What to do about it. And what's actually true. This is one of my favorite topics because this is what helped me shift the quickest and gave me the most light bulb moment.

Today we're talking about love languages. And how to apply your love language to your relationship with your body. If you don't know what your love language is...where have you been?? You need to know which one(s) is yours (btw this is another great way to get to know yourself

In this episode, we're talking about practical ways to meet yourself. Specifically, getting to know your body. Now, I know what you're probably thinking....."Rebekah how would I not have met myself? I've been alive for x number of years. This is a weird topic...?" I hear you and if it were me six years ago, I probably would be saying the same thing. But trustttttt me, you have to know yourself in order to love yourself. Once you know who you are, you're going to LOVE YOURSELF!

I'm excited about this episode because we're talking about generational ideas of body image. As women, we're very self-focused. We tend to think that the way we want to look, is the way everyone wants to look. We also tend to compare ourselves to the current beauty/body "standard". But when you look at what the beauty/body standard was throughout the years, it's ever-changing. It's not like women have held themselves to the same standards for the past 200 years and we're all working towards the same goal. No! Depending on the decade that you grew up in, or went to college in, that's going to influence what you think your body should look like. So think about the expectations that you're holding yourself to and what "standard" does it line up with? Let's deconstruct these generational body type expectations, and be more intentional about where your expectations for your body come from.

There's a lot of good stuff in this episode. Culture criticizes things women like to do, drink, say, or how we generally act. It's so normalized, you might be surprised to hear the examples covered during this episode. I'm sharing a few personal examples of how I pretended to like things so I would come off more attractive (yikes). The purpose of this episode is to challenge why you resist certain things you like that are considered "girly" and why "girly" things are bad (spoiler: they aren't) growing in confidence comes from exploring who you are, what you like, and being honest with yourself about what you find. This is a MUST listen for anyone struggling to let themselves be free. Enjoy!

This episode talks about how to actually start feeling confident in your body. Beauty standards have everyone confused on what's actually beautiful, what you need to do to be confident, and how to exist as a woman. In my work with clients, I developed an 8 step program to go from self conscious to self confident in the exact same body. This episode covers step one.

Q&A episode: Fear of failure and always trying to do my best used to drive my decisions. This question about having high expectations of yourself brought out a lot of great lessons I've learned over the years of trying (and failing at) a lot of things. So if you feel the pressure to be perfect, to do all the things, to be the best all the time, take a deep breath - grab some water - and listen in on this episode about failure.
