    Jul 4 2024
    When was the last time you put on an outfit you loved without second-guessing how your body looked in it? What would your life be like if you stopped letting your body image dominate your thoughts? In today’s episode of Embrace Your Real, I’m peeling back the layers of what real body confidence looks like. It’s not about having a “perfect” body or always loving what you see in the mirror. It’s about how you carry yourself, the choices you make daily, and how you think about your body beyond its appearance. I’m sharing five unexpected habits of body-confident women that might surprise you and challenge your current mindset. From confidently wearing what they love without hesitation to prioritizing their own opinions over others’, these women embody true confidence. Join me as we explore how you can adopt these empowering habits and embrace your real self with genuine acceptance and confidence. What I discuss: They wear their clothes without hesitation. They don’t let their body take up space in their mind. They care more about what they think of their body rather than what others think. They realize body confidence isn’t hitting a certain weight or pant size. They realize they don’t always have to love their body in order to feel confident.
