Your Body Is Not The Problem

Friendships can be hard. Friendships as an adult can be even harder! And then if you add on an extra layer of negative body image or being the bigger friend in the friend group... it can be a lot! So today, Sarah and I have a discussion around navigating the influence our friends' body image can have on our own in terms of their self-talk, health behaviors, shopping and more!

Sarah answers questions like:

• What can you do to to limit the impact your friends' negative self-talk has on your self-talk?
• How can we be supportive of our friends personal health journey while staying in our own lane?
• What would Sarah recommend if you can see your friend is struggling a lot with dieting etc?
• What mindset shifts can the bigger friend implement when clothes shopping with friends who are smaller?
• What's Sarah's secret to pulling really attractive men?

and so much more! This episode is for you if you:

• Want to feel less alone in your body image & friendship struggles and want some tangible tips to start improving how you feel
• Have considered yourself the bigger friend in the friend group and let that impact how you feel about yourself
• Have a habit of putting your friends on imaginary pedestals
• Are easily influenced by what your friends say and do, even if it's not positive
• Want to have healthy friendships and a healthy body image

Thank you so much for listening and sharing! Your body is not the problem!

I know society wants us to see our weight gain and excess weight as a problem that needs to be fixed but what if it wasn't? What if it was actually your body being your team? Today, I share with you a new way to look at the excess weight on your body so that you can release self-judgement, and self-blame. Your body is not the problem and your excess weight has a brilliant purpose for being on your body.
