EP035: A Positive Body Image Allows Your Inner Beauty to Shine Through
Maddy Moon is a 24-year-old female with strong
convictions about sharing her message with the world. As a high
school student, Maddy was introduced to food documentaries which
changed her way of eating. She adopted vegetarianism and rapidly
dropped weight. And even though she didn’t need to lose the weight,
people started praising her for her new look. She became obsessed
with the attention she was getting and decided to work with a
trainer to prepare her for a physique competition. She has since
realized her value is more than how she looks and she wants to make
sure women have the tools to become body positive. She has written
two books and her website has become a resource for those who would
like to learn from her experiences.
Key Takeaways:
[7:54] Maddy shares the beginning of her body
obsession and how her eating habits were getting her noticed.
[13:55] Labels are more powerful than we think they
are. They can make us a prisoner.
[17:55] If kids see the people love and admire most
putting themselves down, it won’t matter what you say to them, they
will pick up on the behavior.
[21:48] Maddy lost herself and her health while
preparing for her first physique competition.
[31:46] There are people in the fitness industry who
make women believe their only value is how they look.
[37:59] Purging her social media, reducing triggers,
changing relationships and increasing her “body positivity”
exposure led Maddy through her healing process.
[48:25] Contact information for Maddy and how to get
her amazing books, Confessions of a Fitness Model and
The Perfection Myth.
[50:28] The Lightning Round - The amazing middle toe
lift.
