Have you ever felt pressured by societal beauty standards or social media to lose weight in hopes of feeling more confident?    In this episode of Embrace Your Real, we tackle the pervasive myth that weight loss leads to confidence. We live in a world where messages about achieving the "perfect" body are constant, making us believe that conforming to certain beauty standards is the key to self-worth and confidence. However, real confidence stems from within. Join us as we talk about why weight loss won't make you feel more confident and explore what truly brings lasting confidence.     What I discuss: External Validation doesn’t equal confidence.  You’re chasing something that doesn’t exist…AKA unrealistic expectations. You place WAY TOO much value on your physical appearance.    If you loved this episode, be sure to tune in to… Episode 23: 5 Steps to Building Unshakeable Confidence   If you want more from me, be sure to check out...
