It's about that vulnerability and that bravery of showing up for yourself and being in your own story and being seen in that way.
Ever feel a pang of dread when someone points a camera your way? You're not alone. In this heartfelt episode of 'Compassionate Conversations', Canadian Psychotherapist Esther Kane sits down with Vivianne McMaster, the inspiring force behind 'Be Your Own Beloved' Photography. Vivianne's journey from struggling with body image to becoming a beacon of body positivity is nothing short of transformative.
She shares how she turned the lens on herself, using photography as a healing tool to reclaim her self-worth and confidence. Throughout their chat, Esther and Vivianne dive into why so many of us shy away from the camera and how we can shift our perspective to see ourselves with compassion and curiosity. They discuss the toxic messages society sends about body size and how these can be internalized, often leading to a negative self-image.
Vivianne's approach is refreshing—she encourages us to become the 'subject' rather than the 'object' in photos, focusing on who we are rather than what we look like. Vivianne also touches on the concept of body neutrality versus body positivity, sharing personal stories and client feedback that highlight the power of self-portraiture in fostering self-love.
She offers practical steps to help you feel more at ease in front of the camera, emphasizing that it's worth pushing through the discomfort to truly see yourself. If you've ever felt uncomfortable with your reflection or hesitant to be photographed, this episode is a must-listen. Vivianne's insights and Esther's compassionate interviewing style create a safe space for exploring these sensitive topics.
