As spring break and summer fast approaching, there seem to be ads about getting our summer bodies ready everywhere we turn. Stores are already shifting away from winter clothing and into shorts and skimpy swimsuits. Yet, this is the time of year most women dread. Why? Because their body image is not healthy. And, as you may suspect, when how we think about ourselves is not good, we tend to struggle across all aspects of our lives, especially in finding peace and self-love. So, today, I sat down with Erin Tennant to talk about how each of us can increase our self-concept and body image, how to create rewarding habits and behaviors, how to cultivate a growth mindset around our eating, and she shares her story of growing up constantly on a diet and the steps she took to lose over 130 pounds and how she has kept it off! If you are ready to consciously make changes to how you look and feel, this is one conversation you want to hear from start to finish. Let’s dive right in.
