HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF AGAIN: body dysmorphia & healing your insecurities with Sophia Esperanza


Listen Later

The insecurities of our own physical uniqueness holds us back to our full potential as human beings. Some spend hours a day trying to fix what they consider to be flaws, or frequently examine their appearance in a mirror and constantly compare their appearance with that of others. But your beauty is already within you. Our mind’s perception is a building block to our outlook in life. Body dysmorphia is often exacerbated through today’s societal norms of cosmetic and plastic surgery and even face filters that we now see all over social media. Sophia Esperanza and I unpack this topic while she shares her own body dysmorphia story and her decision to remove her implants, and leaving the modeling industry to pursue a different direction in life - using her large social media platform to inspire an ethical vegan lifestyle, slow fashion, and loving your body.

Sophia is an inspiration to so many online, who lives true to her convictions and speaks to a deeper level of consciousness, pondering and reflecting how the human species can evolve and grow, even in the age of social media pressures, illusions, and body dysmorphia.
