Do you ever look in the mirror and not like what you see? Do you have a self-critical voice that kicks into gear and starts saying unkind things to your reflection? “You’re fat, you’re ugly, you have dark circles under your eyes, you look old, your hair looks terrible today etc. etc.” If you can relate to this type of negative self-talk or if you’ve ever struggled with poor body image, then this episode is for you.
In the first episode of You Are Infinitely Loved, I’m interviewed about my personal journey with self-love and how I was able to move from a place of high self-loathing and very poor body image to a place of complete self-acceptance and self-love.
We go back into my past, where the self-loathing began, how it continued and grew worse throughout high school, the way it showed up for me in her twenties and then we look at the pivotal moment when it was pointed out to me that there might be another way of looking at my body and a path to self-acceptance.
I also share my number one tool for turning down the volume on your negative self-talk, and why I believe that self-loathing (and NOT self-love) is one of the most selfish ways of being.
