How do you feel when someone compliments you on how you look, your body, your beauty?
Do you accept it, deny it, automatically wonder “what does he/she wants from me?”
Our relationship to our body and beauty is a BIG topic.
I don’t know a single woman who doesn’t have or had a challenging relationship with at least one body part.
We are all conditioned to look good, pretty and thin. And even if we don’t give a sh*t about the beauty standards of our culture, it’s more complicated than this. Most of us have internalized the messages received in our unconscious and we are the ones pointing to our defaults and criticizing and judging. This internal war is insidious and it takes practices to remove those patterns.
Loving your body fully, stop fighting with yourself internally and with reality is so powerful. This is how you come to a depth of self-love.
And by loving your body fully I don’t mean loving only the shiny parts but also the less popular ones. Not trying to control or change how you feel when you look at yourself but meeting every experience, sensation or thought with love.
It’s NOT about going inside and changing all your thoughts into loving thoughts.
It’s about allowing yourself to love the one in you judging your belly and also the one in you trying to love your belly.
It’s about allowing your whole self to be compassionate, to exhale deeply and start shifting your relationship one step at the time.
And today on the podcast, I have Mari de Luna, trauma informed women’s empowerment coach and nutrition specialist as special guest! She is sharing her wisdom and her journey of accepting her body and self-empowerment with us.

Lots of love,
