Eat, Pray, Love Your Body (Navigating Body Image, Intuitive Eating, & Exercise)
In this episode, Nicole talks about the complex relationship between body image, intuitive eating, non-corrupted exercise, and the impact of social media and parental influence on our self-talk and perception of ourselves and food and exercise. She explores how societal standards and unrealistic portrayals on social media can distort our views of our bodies, leading to negative self-talk and harmful behaviors. She also discusses the importance of intuitive eating and listening to our bodies' hunger and fullness cues, as well as engaging in exercise that is fun and fulfilling, rather than driven by guilt or punishment. She examines how our upbringing and parental attitudes towards food and body image can shape our own beliefs and behaviors, and offers strategies for cultivating a positive and empowering relationship with our bodies and food.
