There’s a habit you might not even realize you’re doing that’s quietly holding you back from improving your body image.

Avoiding your reflection.

In this episode, I break down why avoiding mirrors feels like protection, but actually reinforces negative self-perception over time. I share my personal experience living with cerebral palsy and how I’ve learned to appreciate my body for what it does, not just how it looks.

We talk about how body standards constantly change, why outside opinions should never define how you see yourself, and how to start building a more supportive relationship with yourself from the inside out.

This isn’t about forcing confidence overnight. It’s about practicing appreciation, even in small moments, and shifting the way you respond when you see yourself.
