Ep. 233 You Don't Have to Love Your Body to Respect It: Rethinking Body Image in a World Obsessed with Perfection


Listen Later

In this heartfelt episode, Cristina Castagnini explores the complexities of body image and the pressures surrounding self-love and body positivity. She begins by expressing gratitude to listeners for choosing to invest in their healing and self-worth, acknowledging the effort it takes to engage with these important topics.

Cristina challenges the pervasive cultural messages that urge people to “just love yourself” or achieve constant body positivity. She explains that, while well-intentioned, these slogans can create a new kind of pressure-making people feel like they’re failing if they don’t always love how they look. Through a moving client story, Cristina illustrates how the expectation of unwavering self-love is simply another form of perfectionism.
