Embracing Imperfections: Lauren Lansrud's Journey to Self-Acceptance

So I have cankles, and that's okay Today. Phew, thank you for my recovery.
Ever felt like a part of your body was holding you back? In this heartfelt episode of 'Promise of Recovery', Lauren Lansrud gets real about her struggles with body image, focusing on her 'cankles'. She opens up about the journey from self-loathing to self-love, showing us that the road to recovery is paved with honesty and acceptance. Lauren shares how she used to hide her cankles, thinking they were a defect.
But through the wisdom of 12-step programs, she learned that the real issue was her negative self-image, not her physical appearance. Quoting from 12-step literature, she highlights how poor self-image can trap us in a cycle of self-criticism, making true humility impossible. This episode is a powerful reminder that our worth isn't tied to our physical features. Instead, it's about embracing who we are on the inside.
Whether you're dealing with body image issues or just need a dose of honesty and inspiration, Lauren's story offers valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in to discover how recovery can transform not just your habits, but your entire outlook on life.
