Reclaiming the Mirror: Mindset Shifts to Transform Your Body Image

This week, our format is a little different. We're flipping the script as I move from interviewer to interviewee. 

I had such a powerful conversation recently on the Transforming 45 podcast, with host Lisa Boate, where we discussed how to transform your body image….I just had to share it with you.

Growing up, many of us internalized messages about how our bodies should look, creating a skewed perception that often leads to self-criticism. 

​​In this interview I got very vulnerable and opened up about my own journey through having a distorted, negative body image, and how living through breast cancer completely changed the way I viewed and treated my body

We also talked about the complex issue of weight, how to overcome societal pressures to look a certain way, and how to cultivate self-care, self-love, and body appreciation.

Key takeaways

• Mindset Matters: Transformation begins with subtle mindset shifts. When you start viewing your body through a lens of appreciation rather than perfection, you begin to recognize its innate resilience and power.
• Self-care as a Foundation: Simple self-care practices can significantly impact how you perceive and feel about your body.
• Finding Your Sweet Spot: What is your perfect “goal weight”? There is no magic number. It’s finding YOUR “sweet spot” where you’re comfortable in your body, nourishing it with healthy food, and enjoying what you eat and how you feel.
