Episode 19: Body Positivity on Social Media

Welcome to the nineteenth episode of the Cocktails & Content Creation Podcast! For this episode, we’re speaking with Natalie Mazzarella, editor and creator of Wear You Are Now. Natalie is a champion of body positivity and we just love her posts on social media that aim to empower women to embrace themselves as they are. And that’s what we’re talking about today!

In our nineteenth episode you’ll learn:

How social media can actually be a force for good when it comes to body positivity, allowing us to have conversations on body image
That it’s okay and normal to have good and bad days for creating content and it’s okay to give yourself some space
That the “social media body type” is a myth
That every body type is beautiful
That you’re not alone when you feel like you don’t fit the social media body type
How to shift your mindset to embrace your body and celebrate it on social media
