#274: Where Our Body Image Comes From (Body Image Series Revisited)

I’m unpacking where our body image comes from and how to unpack your own body image origins. I also talk about how this is a systemic and cultural issue that is hardcoded in our DNA, as part of the Body Image Series.

In this episode, I talk about:

- Beauty as social currency,

- How the desire to fit beauty standards is hardcoded in our DNA,

- How external systems of oppression create internalized oppressions,
- Questions you can use to examine your past and be curious about where your body image came from,
