March 09, 2023 103. The Smart Girl's Guide to Body Acceptance
Body acceptance - is it possible? Alexis is diving in in this new solo episode format!

Show Notes:
0:40 Let’s talk about loving your body!
3:32 Struggling with one’s appearance is a universal experience
3:50 Where do these unrealistic standards come from?
3:58 Before we pass judgement on others, we must heal first
4:04 What forces are women up against?
4:50 Society’s priorities for thinness don’t have to be our priorities
5:20 Questioning our backgrounds as a means to divest from societal body expectations
5:34 Let’s analyze body trends of the past few years!
6:23 Rampant fatphobia pervaded 2013 - 2016
6:55 Our perception of what was “large” was incredibly warped by the media
8:34 We’ve been exposed to dangerous rhetoric not just on the Internet, but also through tabloids in the grocery store line
9:05 What we glamorize online becomes the norm
9:58 Events like the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show applauded thinness – making us believe our accomplishments didn’t matter if we weren’t thin
10:25 Impossible to discuss body trends without mentioning how the Kardashians have (negatively) impacted our culture
11:22 From 2016 - 2020 we saw a dialogue opening about women’s bodies – due in part to harmful things said by Trump
12:06 Comparing your body to others is a slippery, harmful slope
13:27 Despite models like Ashley Graham entering the mainstream, the belief that we can cultivate a body positive culture was cracking
14:16 Since 2020, we’ve entered a positivity era!
15:54 Podcast was started to reject belief that I need to look a certain way in order to be successful
16:26 2023 has brought open talks of plastic surgery and Ozempic use – people are unhappy with what they look like and are changing accordingly
17:01 Pressure of looking good or being thin has never left the mainstream
17:37 It’s impossible to let go of inner biases when we’re constantly told you need to look a certain way
17:52 It’s naive to think all women will accept themselves and not want to change further when society tells us to operate otherwise
22:19 Important to forgive yourself for having toxic thoughts – it’s natural to want to resemble the norm
24:54 We dont give our bodies enough credit!
25:11 You can’t hate yourself into loving yourself
25:30 Learn to trust your own intuition about your body
25:47 Give yourself grace! How can I be nicer to myself?
26:06 Do some research – knowing more about your body leads to a healthier life
27:25 Uncouple the idea that success and happiness are connected to what you look like
28:21 Need to consciously change your opinion on what bodies are “supposed” to look like
