Shownotes:

Shaming our bodies, regardless of size, is a common experience for many women.
Losing weight does not automatically lead to happiness or self-acceptance.
External influences, such as the diet industry, can perpetuate harmful beliefs about body image.
Taking actions from a place of self-love and respect is key to achieving a positive body image and overall well-being.
