Lucie Vallee: Beauty Standards

JOIN THE REWIRED IN ACTION COMMUNITY: www.rewiredinaction.com

Today, we’re joined by Lucie Vallée, feminist body image coach and ED recovery advocate, for a conversation about the pressures that shape how we see ourselves – and what it takes to challenge them.

Lucie shares how body image struggles can be connected to nervous system dysregulation, and why certain trigger thoughts (e.g. “I feel fat”) might be an alarm to pay attention to rather than a fact to act on. We also explore the influence of beauty standards, the expectations placed on women as they age, and how setting boundaries around body talk can frees up space for — and protects — the things that actually matter.

Topics covered:

• Understanding “I feel fat” as an alarm thought

• Body image, shame spirals and nervous system regulation

• The cultural roots of beauty standards

• Managing everyday body image triggers

• Setting boundaries around comments and diet talk

• Beauty, femininity and the pressure to stay young

• Using our five senses to regulate the nervous system

• Reconnecting with our values beyond appearance
