What Image Do You See in the Mirror?

Body image is something that so many of us struggle with throughout our lives and it’s something that I, know many who, have struggled with as well. As a featured Show expert on this very topic I’ve been able to dive more deeply into the root causes behind nonchalantly using the phrases like, “ugh, I look so gross today”, “I don’t like my legs at all” and more. What I’m finding is that so many of our own body image issues are stemming from how our mothers, aunts, sisters, or other female role models see themselves when they look in the mirror. As a young girl, you think that your mom is the most beautiful person on the planet…until one day you hear her call herself fat, her arms gross, or some other super negative description that is degrading to her own body image, and thus begins the shift of your view of your own body.
