| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Vibrants Happy Women podcast. We're talking today about body image and taking up space energetically in the body that you have. Stay tuned. |
| 0:12.9 | Are you ready to expand your soul's capacity for joy? Then this podcast is for you. I'm Dr. Jen Ridey and welcome to Vibrant Happy Women. |
| 0:24.7 | Hey, my friends, welcome back. We're talking about our bodies today. What are your thoughts about your |
| 0:31.4 | body? How many times in the past week have you thought I need to lose weight? I need to |
| 0:36.4 | tighten up my tummy. My thighs, |
| 0:38.7 | there's no thigh gap. Oh my gosh, it's pervasive, the thoughts, the abuse we think about and heap |
| 0:46.9 | upon our bodies. This episode is for all of us who have a body so we can think about a new way |
| 0:53.6 | of perhaps showing up in our bodies, |
| 0:56.0 | showing up fully in the body we have without needing to change it and showing up energetically |
| 1:05.3 | proud of this body instead of shaming it. If your body were a child in your life, would it have good self-esteem |
| 1:13.8 | based on what you think about it in your mind or would it have poor self-esteem based on the chatter |

| 2:03.5 | in the body that they have. What would happen in this world if we truly accepted all body sizes? |
| 2:10.5 | Oh, wouldn't that be liberating? What could we do with our mental capacity if we weren't |
| 2:16.3 | wasting so much energy thinking about our body size |
| 2:20.1 | and our appearance empowered right so much influence and difference we could all make if we could do |
| 2:28.6 | that so i won't give any more away this is an topic. I hope it gives you some great food for thought. |
| 2:36.2 | Let's dive in. Hey there, everyone. I am excited to be with Ariel Astoria today, who is a poet, author, and actor. |
| 2:45.5 | Her motto is, words are not for the ears, but for the soul soul and stems from her dedication to reminding anyone |
