EP: 017 Body Positivity with Carrie Beth

On this week's episode of Finding Her, Julia introduces Carrie Beth the founder of Curves With Kicks!  She will share her story which was inspired after decades of body image issues, low self esteem, multiple failed diets and a vicious cycle of self-hate, one day Carrie Beth decided she was done with feeling this way for simply having an over sized, curvy body that didn't fit into society's beauty standard. She discovered the body positivity movement which brought her into a loving and empowering community where she learned self love and acceptance. Building a 15 year career in the sports apparel industry at a world leading sportswear company, Carrie Beth finally found her authentic voice through the launch of the Women's plus size line in 2017. She was inspired to get involved, influence the work and build a platform of education, awareness and activism for her fellow employees. From there, her impact grew as she created experiences at her company headquarters launching programs like women's holistic health and wellness, mindfulness and meditation and body positivity. For her, these past two years have been all about confronting her past demons, a journey of self discovery, taking control of her happiness and thriving in a world of positivity!! Julia and Carrie laugh and both connect and share stories and tips for others that are still on their journeys of self discovery. Changing mindsets, awareness, language we are using, loving the skin we are in and how society and our environments have influenced young girls to hate the bodies they are in. This is such an important topic to discuss and we are here to share and help all of our Finding Her listeners. keep in mind around 40 minutes we had a tiny mess up (but hey that’s the story of my life) Enjoy!Find Carrie Beth at:On the Gram, Facebook, and Twitter @CurveswithkicksBlog/website: www.curveswithkicks.comEmail: [email protected] Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/findingher/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/findingher/supportSupport the show (https://paypal.me/pools/c/8ycvBQZLqv)
