I've learned to be a little bit more comfortable with my own definition and in my own perception of myself. It's not perfect, I always do feel like I'm not xyz enough, not thin enough, small enough, but I do see that health and functioning and things like that are way more important... My body is trying to live, creating life, trying to heal.
Ever feel like you're constantly chasing an impossible body ideal? You're not alone. In this episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon tackle the often overwhelming topic of body image. They start by examining how societal standards and cultural influences shape our perceptions of the 'perfect' body. From the pressures of social media to the impact of family values, they leave no stone unturned.
Jacqueline and Kibby share their own personal struggles with body image, offering a raw and honest look at how race and upbringing play a role in these perceptions. The conversation takes a deep dive into how social media can amplify body image issues, yet the research on its effects remains inconclusive. They also touch on the specific challenges women face, the racial nuances of body ideals, and the mental health implications tied to body image.
The hosts don't just stop at discussing problems—they offer practical advice too. They explore interventions and strategies that can help you build a healthier relationship with your body. From focusing on what your body can do rather than how it looks, to challenging black-and-white thinking about body ideals, you'll find plenty of actionable tips. With personal anecdotes peppered throughout, Jacqueline and Kibby create a relatable and engaging dialogue that resonates deeply.
Whether you're struggling with body dysmorphia or just looking to foster a more positive body image, this episode provides both comfort and practical guidance.
