Struggling with clothes shopping after gaining weight, or just not feeling totally at ease in your body right now? You're not alone.

In this episode of Stronger Standards, I’m answering a listener question: How do you clothes shop in a way that supports positive body image, especially during summer?

We’ll explore how to:

• Shop without reinforcing shame or hiding away
• Use personal style as a way to express confidence (even if you're not feeling it yet)
• Gently experiment with clothes, accessories, and embodiment
• Step into your compassionate, confident “movie character” self—without faking it or forcing it

This isn’t about pretending to love your body.

It’s about dressing in ways that help you feel a little more like yourself today, while still working toward the changes you care about.
