Body Love & Self Worth for Women Who Hat...

Mary Jelkovsky
About this episode

Body love can feel impossible in a world obsessed with beauty standards, especially for women. In this self love podcast episode, we’re diving into body love, self worth, and how women can navigate a world that often undervalues them.

This is part of our “Best Of Mary’s Cup of Tea” series where you’ll hear a compilation of clips from our self love podcast. Today’s topic addresses how to love yourself beyond your appearance and approach body image challenges with self compassion.

You will hear about…

  • how to be body positive and navigate health challenges with self compassion
  • detaching your self worth from beauty standards and external validation
  • the slew of socio-cultural forces that make body love really fckn hard for women
  • how to decide what clothes to wear when you’re having a bad body image day
  • body shame in the bedroom
  • dealing with weight gain
  • practical ways to cultivate body love and self worth

 

Whether you’re starting your journey toward body love or just need a refresher, these conversations will remind you that your self worth is not determined by your appearance.

If you want to dive deeper into your body love journey, here are the links to the full episodes:
