Episode 323: What is a good body? (and do you think your body is good)

by | Nov 4, 2024 | Podcast | 0 comments

Ooooh I have a short ’n’ sweet episode for ya today. This topic is super close to my heart. This EP is from my Instagram stories.
I discuss the common misconception among women that the root cause of their dissatisfaction with their bodies is weight, whereas it’s actually a deeper disconnection with themselves. I introduce a framework built on three essential pillars – health, performance, and aesthetics – which are necessary to build a powerful relationship with our bodies.

I highlight the importance of building a foundation of health, improving body performance, and viewing aesthetics as a byproduct of the first two pillars. Additionally, I highlight the significance of mindset and vision in fostering a healthy relationship with our bodies. Finally, I challenge you to define what a ‘good body’ means to you personally.
