History of Beauty Ideals 101

This lesson is a great place to start your healthy journey. So much of our identity as women is wrapped up in our bodies and what they look like. The body narrative used to be based on perfecting our bodies. Hot legs, a six-pack, lean, skinny etc. Now, we see the narrative has shifted to highlighting flaws and imperfections. Nonetheless, the focus is still on our bodies. So, let’s explore why this is an all consuming topic for us as women. Many of the answers we are seeking are in our history that hasn’t been shared with us or we didn’t know we could access. They are many things that inspire women and the one thing that changed my world wasn’t liking the way my body looked, it was this information and knowledge that challenged me to see myself as more than a body. Hope this helps you in the same way it helped me.
