If you struggle with feeling confident about how your body looks in midlife, but you can't connect to the body-positive messaging directed at millennials, this episode is for you!
I see body image after 40 as a collision between a lack of self-confidence and health concerns.
Let's get you out of this collision and thriving in midlife with more self-confidence and better health!

Here's what you'll learn in this episode:
Why the messages of thinness equal health, confidence, and relevance are especially problematic when you're over 40.
How those messages are body image disruptors and how to deal with them - Body image is an inside job!
How external messages affect your perceptions of your body and how you can learn to recognize body image disruptors such as media, relationships, and symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.
You'll learn to reconstruct your beliefs about confidence and relevance. Spoiler alert, being thinner with better skin, hair, legs, butt, arms, or stomach won't make your life perfect!
Instead, start to connect with what you value in life beyond the scale or perfect body images.
Remember "comparison is the thief of joy!" It keeps you in a contracted small mindset and limits your self-confidence. It keeps your life small! Go for expansion in life!
