Episode 2998: Allison Carmen challenges the belief that physical appearance determines our lovability, inviting us to replace body shame with gratitude and self-compassion.

Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.allisoncarmen.com/does-how-we-look-make-us-more-or-less-lovable/ Quotes to ponder: "I learned a long time ago that there are thoughts that take us right to pain and misery, and 'I’m not happy with my body' is one of them." "The only peaceful thought any of us can have is that we love our bodies 'as is' in this moment." "Isn’t suffering less and accepting ourselves the ultimate in self improvement?"
