Show Notes

WARNING: Reflections in the mirror may be distorted by socially constructed ideas of beauty.

Definition:
bod·y im·age (noun) the subjective picture or mental image of one's own body.

In this episode of the Coaching & Cocktails podcast, Brandi and Tina unpack the truth about body image, what it is and what it isn't as well as the bullshit lies we tell ourselves pertaining to our image of ourselves. Wikipedia says that Body Image is a person's perception of the aesthetics or sexual attractiveness of their own body. It involves how a person sees themself, compared to the standards that have been set by society. This last sentence is key here.

Listen in as Tina has an epiphany regarding her fear of aging and insecurities as a coach in a sport judged on aesthetics, while Brandi admits to her own secret fears of inadequacy in her athleticism. Learn how body image isn't always what it appears to be on the surface and how to transfer the negative energy spent on "hating your belly fat" into something far more meaningful.
