Show Notes:
Some days we can't positive mantra ourselves into loving our bodies. Ashely and Sara Cate attempt to answer the question "should I love my body every day?" And in no surprise they bring it back to you and your body, illuminating the way to answering that question for yourself. Toxic positivity can lead us in the direction of shame if we can't find it in ourselves to be overly complementary or loving to our bodies. They explore how your personal definition of love can also apply to your relationship with your body. Ashley shares her definition of love which includes, above all else, respect so even if she doens't like her body for whatever reason she can find a connection to respect and by finding that, a path to caring for herself. Sara Cate and Ashley are here to support you in defining or re-defining your definition of what loving your body means to you.
