How We Got "Body Positivity" All Wrong

Welcome back to Unbothered! In this episode, I take a deep dive into how the body positivity movement got completely derailed from its original purpose. We explore:

The roots of the movement in the 1960s, advocating for respect and equality for marginalized bodies—specifically fat and disabled bodies—not a focus on beauty or self-love.
How the rise of social media twisted the movement into a self-centric practice of "loving your flaws," reinforcing harmful beauty standards instead of dismantling them.
Why body neutrality is a healthier, more freeing approach. It’s not about loving what you see in the mirror every day—it’s about realizing your worth isn’t tied to your appearance.
How letting go of judgment (towards your own body and others) creates space for presence, compassion, and joy in life.

I also share why being unbothered by your body is transformative, reclaiming time, energy, and mental space for what truly matters. Remember: You are so much more than a body, and your worth has nothing to do with your appearance.

Let’s call BS on beauty standards together. Tune in, and let’s flip the script. See you next time!
