5. The Truth About Body Image and Ambitious Women
Manage episode 477509466 series 3625869
Have you ever missed out on social gatherings because of a wardrobe meltdown — feeling so bad about how you look, that you just canceled the whole thing and stayed at home?
I have.
Other times I made it out the door, but I was so obsessed with how I looked that I couldn't be present. For more than a decade, losing weight was one of my main goals in life.
My happiness was more or less correlated with my weight. I was obsessed with finding the next perfect diet.
I spent so much energy comparing myself to others, judging myself, and trying to shrink myself.
Looking back, I realize now all of this kept me operating at my lowest standard of what it means to be a human being. And I know I'm not the only one.
This episode is about body image and specifically how a negative body image destroys your self-worth — and how it keeps so many high-achieving women from actually living their lives.
I'll also share what it means to heal your body image, what's really going on underneath all the body obsession, and what you can do to begin changing this from the inside out.
