Hey y'all, and welcome back to another episode of "This is for Us." I’m thrilled you're joining me today. As we gear up for summer—with all its vacations, pool days, and lake visits—I want to dive into what this season really brings up for many of us, especially when it comes to body image and self-consciousness. Summer isn’t just about less clothing and more outdoor activities; it's also when many of us feel the most vulnerable about our bodies.

Embrace the Season:

In today’s episode, I’m climbing on my soapbox to remind you all to wear the bikini, hit the pool party, and enjoy that ice cream. It is important to challenge the self-doubt and self-conscious thoughts that can hold us back from enjoying the beautiful, sunny days ahead.

The Real Talk on Body Image:

We often get self-conscious about our appearances, especially during summer when it feels like everyone is looking flawless in their swimwear. But let’s be real—no one is perfect. Every one of us has insecurities, whether they're visible or not. This episode is my call to you to push past those fears and enjoy summer to the fullest.

Challenge the Comparison Trap:

Comparison can steal more than just joy; it can rob us of living fully. This summer, I challenge you not to let fear of judgment keep you from enjoying life. Remember, people are more focused on their own fun, not critiquing you in your swimsuit.

Encouragement to Live in the Moment:

If you find yourself hesitating to join in on summer activities because of body insecurities, remember that you're not alone. We all have those moments of doubt. The key is not to let these doubts prevent you from making memories.

Call to Action - Be the Change:

Let’s also make it our mission to uplift others. If you see someone at the pool or by the lake looking a bit self-conscious, a simple compliment can do wonders for both of you. Let’s spread positivity and make everyone feel welcome and beautiful.

Closing Thoughts:

As always, I love and appreciate each of you for spending this time with me. Let’s make this summer one where we focus on joy, not judgment, and embrace every opportunity to enjoy the sunshine and good company.
