OUR HOSTS:
Corinne Foxx - @corinnefoxx
Natalie McMillan - @nataliemcm and @shopnataliemcmillan
What we're drinking: Josh Cellars Sauvignon Blanc 2020
TOPIC:
It’s that time of year again where people are wearing less and lighter clothing, going to the beach, and spending more time outside enjoying the sun. But, for a lot of us, summer can trigger negative body image thoughts and bring up pressure to look a certain way. We’re rejecting the idea that there’s such a thing as a ‘bikini body’ and talking about ways to protect your mental health during this season. Perceived body image often isn’t based in reality一it’s actually influenced by self-esteem, imagination, emotions, and physical sensations of and about our bodies. We believe that Hot Girl Summer is a mindset and we’re here to help you live out your Megan Thee Stallion dreams.
In this episode, we discuss:
The four main aspects of body image The seven factors that influence how you feel about your body Examining how certain sports pressure people to conform to a specific body shape Why we need to stop using the term ‘summer body’Reasons to ditch the scale Practicing positive self-talk Techniques for protecting your mental health on social mediaEPISODES MENTIONED
Episode 51: How to Practice Body Neutrality in the Age of Diet Culture with Dana Patterson
Episode 8: The Tea on Anxiety: How to Manage & Cope
END OF THE SHOW:
Corinne and Natalie introduce Hottie of the Week: Doja Cat
WINE RATING:
Josh Cellars Sauvignon Blanc 2020 = 7 / Doja Cat
WRAP UP:
To wrap up the episode, we play a new game called Guess the Same Word. It takes us a few rounds to get it, but we eventually land on the same Harry Potter related word! We’re not sure how we feel about this one, so let us know in the DMs if you have any game suggestions.
