Feeling confident in your own skin can be one of the toughest things to do, especially in a world where unrealistic standards of beauty have long been perpetuated. This lack of self-worth has, in turn, alienated many of us from unlocking or fulfilling our true life's purpose. 

And while fitness and dietary plans can be a start off point, many use this as the main motivator to "fix" something with our body that we do not like. The downside to this is that the goal itself comes from a negative place. As a result, many of us have held their lives hostage to insecurities dependant on exterior factors that have diminished our self-worthiness. 

My guest today is Amber Karnes, a self-love enthusiast, yoga teacher, and an activist in the body positive movement. She is the founder of Body Positive Yoga and trains yoga teachers and movement educators to create accessible, equitable spaces for liberation and belonging.

Amber explains that it all comes down to self-worth - that positive self-validation, no matter your size, race, complexion, or what others think of you. This episode will guide you to see your strengths and weaknesses as part of your personal journey as well as learning how to truly embrace them. Stay tuned for today's episode to learn how to start loving your body {even just a little!}.
