Today we’re diving into a topic I’ve been wanting to talk about for a while, because it’s one of those sneaky things that can actually do more harm than good on your journey to self-love and body confidence. And that is toxic positivity.

 

The truth is you don’t have to love every inch of your body to treat it with respect. 

You don’t have to be perfectly positive to show up for yourself. And if you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at “body love” because you still have tough days, I want this episode to set you free.

 

By the end of our conversation, you’ll know:

 

  • What toxic positivity in the body-love space actually looks like and why it’s a problem.

  • Why you don’t need to love every inch of your body to take care of it.

  • The difference between toxic positivity and healthy positivity.

  • Practical ways to show yourself respect and love, even on the days you don’t feel it.

  • And tools that can help you create a healthier, more grounded relationship with your body and your goals.
