Episode Overview
Does looking at photos of yourself trigger intense body shame? Over the last seven years, we’ve seen this time and again: an enjoyable event or experience is ruined as soon as a woman sees photos of herself. This can lead a person to delete precious moments, avoid pictures in the future, and even trigger a return to quick-fix, restrictive dieting.
But does that solve the deeper issues women are experiencing? We say no.
That’s why, in today’s episode, we share some real-life solutions to help you feel more comfortable with photos and a little more at peace with your body.
