Episode 23: My Arms Aren’t on Anyone’s Vision Board Anymore

In this episode...

I’ve been thinking a lot about something Laurie Wagner said in episode 18 of Your Permission Prescription.

She talked about letting your belly hang over your jeans.

That was never something I felt safe doing. Growing up, my body was scrutinized. Then, in my marriage, my body was scrutinized.

Having a thin, toned body was the be-all, end-all… until it wasn’t.

People often say of a woman, “She’s let herself go.” But that’s not accurate. We don’t let ourselves go — we let go.

In this solo episode, I reflect on letting go and loving my body as it is.

Listen to Your Permission Prescription: Episode 23 to learn how to give yourself permission to accept your body.

What We Discuss & Highlights From Episode 22:

  • Years ago, a woman asked if she could take a picture of my arms to put on her vision board. I don’t think that’s happening again — and I share why it doesn’t bother me!
  • I share about an eye-opening trip and unexpected side gig in my twenties that laid the foundation for body acceptance.
  • There’s a profound freedom that comes from no longer allowing your body to be an object of scrutiny, for yourself or anyone else.
