This week on The Awakeners Podcast, Vancouver-based content creator, Christine Laraine, brings awareness to Body Kindness. As an influencer, she advocates for and shares her authentic views regarding body acceptance, mental health, sustainability, personal growth, and dating. The challenges of navigating poor body image throughout childhood, being told to constantly lose weight, being diagnosed with OCD, anxiety and depression, poor self esteem, shame, and family issues have all fueled her journey to self awareness, acceptance, and compassion. She now courageously shares her truth, her fears, her wins, and her challenges across social media via her BLOG, TikTok and Instagram accounts. With her vulnerability, she inspires followers to increase their confidence and self-esteem, and realize that it is up to each person to define beauty and success for themselves! Even her journey as an influencer has created a path of self healing for all to witness!
