This is Hello Freedom and I'm your host Terry Cole.

For almost two decades I've been a licensed psychotherapist and transformation coach, and on this show I will bring you simple strategies based on practical psychology, inspiring expert interviews, and my own insights and observations

from my time on the front lines of the fascinating worlds of entertainment,

empowerment, and mental health.

Now let's get going with today's episode.

Well, hello and welcome to Hello Freedom. I am your host Terry Cole.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your very busy life to spend about 20, 30 minutes with me, just

talking about stuff, life, struggles, mental health, love, sex, all the stuff we like to talk about. And in today's episode, it's

about body love, how to love your body in this very moment.

Right, not 10 pounds from now, not when you're in better shape.

Because I find in my therapy practice and in the groups and the courses that I run that women still

really really struggle with

their relationship to their body.

So many of us are so conditioned to talk badly about it and for so many reasons.

It's not just the media, right? So we have that one thing and even

with the body positivity movement that's happening, it doesn't change what we see regularly. I mean, look at these celebrities,

having babies and leaving the hospital in the same genes, you know, they're skinny

genes, you know, they're skinny genes basically, or you know, taking three weeks

to be back in shape, quote unquote.

You know, this is unrealistic and I guess if, you know, your only job in life was to be thin and beautiful

You know that was it you did nothing else I guess probably being thin a month after having a kid is a possibility, but again we're comparing ourselves.

So many of us unfairly to these media bods that are not realistic.
