26. Embracing Your True Self: How To Improve Body Confidence

Ever found yourself stuck on the one thing you didn't achieve, despite a laundry list of victories? That's the sneaky influence of all or nothing thinking, and it's exactly what Megan and Jess unpack in our latest episode. This is a deep dive into the pitfalls of perfectionism and the subtle ways it can chip away at our mental resilience, body image, and self-confidence.
Grab your headphones, and get ready for a journey to building cognitive flexibility as we lay out the tools needed to combat that stubborn, binary mindset. Discover how to spot when you're trapped in a cycle of all or nothing thinking, and more importantly, how to break free from it. We'll guide you through relabeling your thoughts and cultivating curiosity to challenge the absolutes of "always" and "never." Our candid anecdotes about navigating criticism and maintaining routines in less-than-ideal circumstances will remind you that it's not about having a perfect record—it's about making informed, adaptable choices.
To wrap it all up, Megan and I will show you how to reframe your understanding of success and failure. We talk about the power of recognizing you always have options, including the option to quit, and how this can drastically increase your sense of control and satisfaction in life. By integrating self-compassion into your everyday thinking, you're not just cutting yourself some slack—you're setting the stage for a big, rad life that celebrates progress over perfection. Join us, and let's transform those all or nothing blind spots into opportunities for growth and resilience.
