Episode 189: lessons from the olympics on body love

hi friend!

welcome back & happy august!

on today's episode we're talking body love, body image & the beautiful lessons the olympic games have taught me - & maybe you - about loving our bodies no matter the size, shape, makeup, whatever.

this reminder has been critical as i approach the last few days before the wedding.  i've been picking apart my body; chastising myself for not working out harder or eating better because i'm not going to look "that way" on my wedding day.  yes, i know that's crazzyyyyyy but it's also real life.
 
luckily, the olympics came at the perfect time & the badass women competing in all different specialties reminded me that our bodies are not only gifts, but shouldn't look the same.  one athlete in particular, ilona maher, posted several videos about how freaking strong & beautiful she is despite internet trolls trying to tear her down.

while i hate that this happened to her, i am so grateful that she used her platform to remind us all that there is no "one size fits all." we're all beautiful & strong women & damn, that was a powerful reminder.

press play on today's episode & then head over to insta @meredith.coviello to let me know if the episode resonated with you.

thanks so much for being here! xoxo
