TW: body image, distorted body image
OUR HOSTS:
Corinne Foxx - @corinnefoxx
Natalie McMillan - @nataliemcm and @shopnataliemcmillan
What we're drinking: Josh Cellars Sauvignon Blanc 2020
TOPIC:
To kick off summer, we’re revisiting episode 95, which is all about navigating body image and ways to protect your mental health during this season. Perceived body image often isn’t based in reality一 it’s actually influenced by self-esteem, imagination, emotions, and physical sensations of and about our bodies. We believe that Hot Girl Summer is a mindset and we’re here to help you live out your Megan Thee Stallion dreams!
In this episode, we discuss:
- The four main aspects of body image
- The seven factors that influence how you feel about your body
- Examining how certain sports pressure people to conform to a specific body shape
- Why we need to stop using the term ‘summer body’
- Reasons to ditch the scale
- Practicing positive self-talk
- Techniques for protecting your mental health on social media
