In this episode, Kristen dives into the topic of body image, reflecting on how societal standards, media influences, and personal perceptions have shaped her relationship with her body over the years. From the skinny ideals of the late '90s and early 2000s to the complexities of adulthood and the body positivity movement, she shares candid journal entries, magazine clippings, and heartfelt anecdotes. Kristen explores the disconnect between how we see ourselves and how others may see us, as well as the struggle to balance self-acceptance with the desire for change. This deeply personal episode is an invitation to reflect on your own journey with body image and consider how our past continues to shape our present.
Notes: I mention in the episode that Google wasn't around in 1996. Which is true as it wasn't available for the public, but the first version was released on the Stanford website in August, 1996. (according to Google and Wikipedia)
Trigger warning: This episode mentions body dysmorphia and eating disorders.
