We all need a friend we can talk to about anything. But it’s not always easy to find people who are willing to open up about pretty much anything. Allow me to be that friend. This is a podcast where no topic is off-limits, and we swap judgment for aiming to understand and relate to each other. Let’s just talk about life--the messy parts, and the pretty parts, and the in-between. We’ll talk self-love, mental health, relationships, body image, and so much more! Have a topic you wanna bring on? Pitch your idea to me over on Instagram @laurenmkendrick.

Ep 114: 5 Simple Hacks for Overcoming a Bad Body Image Day
Friday Jul 23, 2021
Friday Jul 23, 2021
I’ll be the first to admit that some days I look in the mirror and think, “heyyyy, girl!” and other days feel more like, “who’s body is this?? Not mine!”
Although I’ve done years of work around self-love and improving my body image, I’m not immune to the struggle. I still have bad body image days just like everyone else. Body acceptance is a lifelong practice. The difference between now and in my past is that I no longer allow those days to hold me back from living my most fully expressed, vibrant life. I can feel crappy about how my body looks and simultaneously remind myself that I’m still a worthy, wonderful goddess.
It’s possible to have insecurities while also remembering that you’re a badass babe. It’s a paradox, but it works.
Over time I’ve learned that every bad body image day requires a different approach. Some days you’ll be able to do some quick, surface-level work to get through it. Other days you may need to dig a little deeper.
Here are the top five ways I conquer the days when I struggle with my appearance. I’ve ordered them from simplest to most complex. If none of them work out, the last resort is to let it go and move on with your day. Tomorrow is a new day!
