Ep. 108: When Body Image Holds you Back

I had a moment in the shower yesterday (a place where some people do their best thinking), and I came to a halting realization...I still allow my body image to hold me back from living life fully. 

 

Which is ironic and borderline hypocritical, because I’m always encouraging my listeners and audience to live life to the fullest--regardless of how they feel about their appearance. 

 

And even though I’ve healed my relationship to my body, and it’s usually not my body that holds me back from living life...I realized the insecurities have been transferred to other aspects of my appearance. 

 

Now that I’m aware that my body image still holds me back, I can identify why I think that is, and how I can move forward...which is what this episode is all about. 

 

Come join me as I talk through my experience with my appearance holding me back, and what I plan on doing about it. 

 

When you finish listening, come connect with me on Instagram @laurenmkendrick and tell me how this episode resonated with you! 

 

Don’t forget that my Body Acceptance book is also available for pre-order, and will be officially released on July 31, 2021. Last week it was a #1 new release in the Amazon category of Eating Disorders & Body Image, so it’s a hot topic! You can grab your copy by clicking here, or searching “Body Acceptance” on Amazon and it’s available in Kindle format only (but remember that you don’t have to have a Kindle to read. You can simply download the Kindle App)

 

Enjoy, and thanks for listening!
