Summary

I have spent so many summers halfway out. Physically present at the lake, the pool, the family barbecue — but mentally somewhere else entirely, cataloguing how I looked instead of actually living. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. This week's guest is Lexie Kite, PhD, co-author of More Than a Body and leading expert in body image resilience.Lexie and her twin sister Lindsay have spent decades researching how women can stop letting their bodies hold them back from their own lives — and in this conversation, she gave me some of the most practical, grounding tools I've heard on this topic. In this episode, you'll hear: 💜 Why Lexie — a body image resilience researcher — says she doesn't love how she looks in a swimsuit, and why that's actually the point (this reframe genuinely surprised me) 💜 The three paths we all take when a body image disruption hits — and the one that actually leads somewhere good 💜 What Lexie said to her daughter about dressing for practicality over pretty that you can start using with your own kids today So here's to getting in the water this summer. Here's to being in the pictures. Here's to enjoying the only summer — and the only body — you've got.
