What If we stopped comparing our bodies and bemoaning our “flaws”?
Researchers report 85–95% of women are extremely dissatisfied with their bodies.
How can we change this for ourselves? How can we change the language we use about our bodies and create realistic and positive constructs for the next generation of women?
Hillary McBride is a therapist and researcher who writes about this topic with such care and hope.
According to Hillary, we inherit harmful stories about our bodies, and may pass them onto our daughters without even knowing it.
Hillary points out other ways we come by this language: through systemic misinformation and misogyny that envelops us daily, pushing us toward an unattainable standard of beauty.
This conversation has everything to do with dispelling our shame and celebrating our womanhood. It reminds us of the power of legacy and the freedom we gain by owning our stories and our worth. And at the end of those stories, we individually get to define what’s beautiful, accepted, and good.
