Raise your hand if you struggle or have struggled with your body image?
Yeah, that’s what I thought. A whole lot of us struggle with this.
Women are critiqued on their bodies right from the get-go. Too thin, too big, too soft, too muscular, too sexualized, too puritan… there is no win.
Today on the What Nik Know’s podcast I have the amazing @mollykatewellness who is a Body Image mentor.
Molly is a Body Image Coach and Mentor who believes that you can learn the skills of radical body acceptance in any body size. She loves watching people discover their inherent worthiness and step into the confident life they are meant for! Molly started coaching as a Certified Health Coach finding her niche in Intuitive Eating. Very quickly she discovered that food wasn't the root of the problem. She found that underneath that layer of food obsession, was an unhealthy relationship to our bodies. Molly's approach combines improving your body image through your head, your heart, and your body. She believes that everyone has all the tools they need within themselves and that each person has their own unique gifts and intuition to uncover! Molly believes that the more people there are being unapologetically themselves, the stronger we are as a whole!
I relate to this so much- food isn’t the problem, it’s the way I see myself.
I’ve shared on previous shows that body image and my relationship with food has been an ever changing and evolving relationship and I loved learning from Molly today.
Here are some of the amazing things you’ll hear on today’s show:
- The difference between mindful eating and intuitive eating
- How orthorexia shows up as healthy eating habits
- American women and body image
- How social media impacts our body image and what to do about it
- Breaking the belief system that our bodies are the only thing valuable about us
- How to teach children about a healthy body image right from the start
- How to set internal and external boundaries
- If its OK to lose weight or just love yourself as you are
- Diet culture BS
