Ready to transform your relationship with your body? Join me, Jess, on this solo episode of Sturdy Girl as I uncover the secrets to feeling good in our bodies, especially during those summer months. Fresh from a rejuvenating girls' retreat in Lake Tahoe and inspired by a client's marathon in Colorado, I dive deep into the importance of internal work for achieving true body confidence. We’ll explore the concept of body image flexibility, a powerful tool that helps us maintain a positive view of our bodies, regardless of external influences. This approach empowers us to experience joy, feel alive, and live the big, rad life we all deserve.

Traveling has a way of reshaping our views on body image and confidence, doesn’t it? Picture this: my grandparents, who come from a tiny town of just a thousand people, joined us on a whirlwind three-week adventure through France, Greece, and a brief stop in London. Observing my grandma's reactions to the diverse styles, body types, and self-assuredness of people we encountered was nothing short of enlightening. It made me realize that confidence and fashion are incredibly subjective – a truth amplified by the unique ways people around the globe express themselves.

In today’s solo episode, I'm sharing those eye-opening moments and the invaluable lessons they imparted. From the liberating notion that you can wear absolutely anything you love, to the inspiring boldness of older European women who carry themselves with unapologetic confidence, there’s so much we can learn from just watching and appreciating the world around us. Tune in to hear personal stories and insights on embracing your unique self, shedding societal expectations, and living life with the vibrant, unrestrained confidence that you truly deserve. Let’s redefine beauty and body confidence together, one travel story at a time.
