Why Body Positivity Never Worked for Me
Manage episode 483481143 series 2806672
Body positivity was never meant to be personal advice — it was a radical social justice movement designed to fight discrimination and injustice. So if you've tried to love your body and still feel stuck in shame, you're not broken — you're just reacting to a message that was never meant to fix you.
In this episode, Deanna breaks down:
The true origins of the body positivity movement
How it got co-opted by brands and influencers
Why “just love your body” can feel like toxic positivity
What actually works: embodiment, neutrality, and letting go of appearance-based worth
Why disconnecting your self-worth from your appearance changes everything
…and how loving your body became the new perfectionism trap.
