On today's episode, we dive into the concept of the 'summer body' and its roots in cultural and historical marketing strategies. (It's a scam, we tell you!) We unpack the origins of the term "summer body" and provide tangible ways for you to opt out and embrace body neutrality. From the rise of beach culture post-World War II, to the modern-day pressures perpetuated by GLP-1's and social media, we explore the evolution of body standards.Most importantly, we're giving you practical tips to opt out and feel good in your own skin all summer long.
